The Special Report We’d Like to See

By: Flagstaff (Diary)  |  February 8th, 2012 at 12:30 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Bret Baier on Fox News Channel’s  Special Report reported today that

 ”Congressional Budget Office figures indicate the deficit is increasing at a slower pace.  The CBO says the federal government accumulated a budget deficit of 349 billion dollars in the first four months of the fiscal year 2012.  That is 70 billion less than the shortfall reported for the same period last year.  The deficit for the year is still predicted to be almost 1.1 trillion dollars.”

At that point, he threw the page he was reading over his shoulder and declared, “I’m sick and tired of reading c**p like this.  Give me a break!  We’re reporting about rearranging g*dd*m deck chairs while the f***ing Titanic is in full dive mode.  What the h**l difference does it make that we’re going over the cliff at 99 mph instead of 100?  The splatter will be just as big.  Instead of worrying about the speed of our demise, ladies and gentlemen, you better be worrying about just who is driving the bus.  The guy driving it now needs to learn that the steering wheel turns right as well as left.  If he’d do that just a little, maybe we’d avoid the cliff.  But it looks to me like we need a new driver; he doesn’t have a clue where we’re headed, what the brake is for, or how to use it.  He’s driving on cruise control with his legs crossed at the ankles, listening to his own speeches on his iPod, f’gawd’s sake.

My sincere apologies for the mixed metaphors.”

At this point, the camera started shaking (as if the cameraman had lost control) and Charles Krauthammer could be seen rolling in with a hypodermic needle in his hand.  The show went to break, and when it came back Geraldo Rivera was sitting in the host chair, muttering something about “(I thought that weed I gave him was the GOOD stuff.  Sorry, Bret.  Maybe not the best time to get in touch with your inner Howard Beale.)  [aloud]  Speedy recovery, Buddy.  And to the rest of you, Welcome now to Geraldo’s World, LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS!”

My apologies to any who are offended by Bret’s language; it’s just so not like him, but I did clean it up, after all.

 

The news report that he read was real.  The rest of this is just wishful thinking.

    Fantastic. Or Flagtastic.

    Wish this was for real, Flagstaff. It reminds me of Rick Santelli’s famous, unplanned discourse on the folly of government interference in the housing market, which continues to this day. (The folly, not the rant…)

      to keep it clean. (^:^) I’m not sure that I could.

    and that he would remove the scales from their eyes.

    Some people have not heard the truth, and when they do, they respond. My wife is in this camp. “You’ve got to get out and tell this to people! Write about it! Video blogs! etc. I tell her that I don’t have any secret knowledge – the truth I speak is all over the web if you look in the right places. So we try to find the lost in that regard.

    But I think the bigger problem is the et of people who don’t want the truth, or who don’t want others to hear the truth. For this reason I pray for the scales to be removed. Until then it’s, “blah blah blah Ginger blah blah” (credit Gary Larsen)

      If you like anything you see on Redstate, even this, link it in emails and like it on facebook or where ever else you can post a link to get it read.

      New eyes on Redstate means new people getting a fresh look at issues, a look that is different from what Brian Williams sees.

    Great Diary…Great Post. It might wake up some of these people…but…you know…we must be PC these days…and just imagine if someone really did that…why the other competing media would have a field day…not addressing the subject…but as usual the words…and the sheeple would listen and concur…and not even hear the message.

    Look what they have done to the candidates that were in the race. Gingrich…if something miraculous doesn’t happen is next on the chopping block.

    I can’t believe we have become a country of zombies.

      The POTUS is trampling and or sidestepping the Constitution in every way immaginable, yet we dont have leaders in office who will publicly say anything, let alone DO anything about it for fear that it would be political suicide.

      How do you expect most people who aren’t politically savvy in the first place to react? They react with deeper apothy than ever before. 0bama doesnt care ! They’ll just have their ACORN groupies manufacture votes from dead people, phony ballots and illegal aliens to get re-elected.

        Everybody saw how the Republicans were savaged by the MSM of the time, and the people in charge of the loyal opposition are still more interested in re-election than in making the Constitutional crises clear.

        And by impeaching Clinton with a weak case, they made it even harder to do anything about this president, who may be coming right up to impeachable offenses without actually committing them. It’s one thing to say, “We’re going to force insurance companies to give away its assets without compensation.” It’s another to actually do it.

        The confiscation of bondholders’ assets during the Chrysler bailout was curiously blessed by a federal court, and Mitch Daniels did NOT fight it beyond that decision.

          If I am not mistaken…the reason that the whole deal did not go through is because the Senate could not get the votes to go ahead with it. What the hey…he was only lying under oath. The impeachment had nothing to do with the sex in the WH….but they let that go. Perjury….

          Heck…we Obama is guilty of that when he took the oath of office…to protect and defend the USA. I would start with his stance on the borders and refusal to enforce border security.

          • http://908StraightSt.wordpress.com/ mbecker908

            Impeachment was all about sex. The perjury was just a convenience. It was also the absolutely stupidest thing that the Stupid Party has ever done. It allowed Clinton, who was on the political/policy ropes at the time, to unite the Democratic Party behind him AND to win back the support of the American people.

            From day one of that fiasco EVERYBODY knew the Senate votes weren’t there.

            Now then, with respect to your drive to remove him from office because of “…his stance on the borders and refusal to enforce border security.”, where were you when Bush followed the same refusal? Why weren’t you clamoring for Bush to be impeached over that?

      But by that I of course mean “Precinct Committeemen”.
