Now that BP has finally capped the leak, the media will literally treat it like a car wreck on the Washington beltway – move along people – nothing to see here.

No reason to spend any time on anything to do with the clean up, the devastated Gulf coast economy or the incompetent leadership of President Obama for the last eighty days.

No, all that’s left for the media to do is air Obama’s “victory over the spill” speech wall-to-wall for the next week or so and try and sell America on every last word of his total BS.

Hey, the liberal media isn’t stupid, they just believe we are, after all, it’s an election year – screw the environment and the truth – the expedient thing for them to do is help Democrats get elected.

Watch this exchange with a reporter during one his daily briefings and tell PD what single word comes to mind to describe the White House Press Secretary:

Senator Graham has never been a conservative darling and folks like Glenn Beck have been taking their shots for a long time. But why go out of your way to pick a fight with the only political movement generating energy right now? Even if you think the Tea Party movement isn’t sustainable, why say it out loud and make yourself an even bigger enemy? Is Graham stupid or just sloppy?

Graham: Tea Party ‘unsustainable’

Sen. Lindsey Graham says the Tea Party movement is ‘unsustainable.’

(CNN) – Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is frequently at odds with conservative activists in his own state, predicts the Tea Party movement will eventually “die out” despite the political energy it’s generating during this midterm election year.

In an interview with the New York Times Magazine posted online Thursday, the South Carolina Republican lamented the state of his party and doubted whether the Tea Party movement will survive.

“The problem with the Tea Party, I think it’s just unsustainable because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country,” Graham told the magazine, recounting his private meetings with members of the movement. “It will die out.”

Rory for Congress…Rory who? I guess the Reid name isn’t all it used to be around Nevada.

I sense a new regular feature coming here to PD. Watch this clip of Huckabee’s stab at humor (I hope) in reference to Palin doing drugs.

Funny or awkwaaard?

From Rick Barber for Congress:

Herman Cain was leading a Q&A session at the Douglas County Tea Party and addressing a question by a young woman about the attacks by the Left on Judeo-Christian heritage in America. The video picks up as he answers her question, then went to the last question of the night. What follows wasn’t expected by the crowd.

WSBTV Channel 2 in Atlanta Georgia spurred on by the Arizona immigration law issue went to that state to investigate the border issue. What they found shocked them and they had to show the facts to Georgia Congressman Paul Brown.

The station was able to obtain the Captured OTM list. What is the Captured OTM list? It is the list of people Other Then Mexicans that have been caught crossing the Southern border. They include countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan, Sudan, Yemen and other countries with terrorist activity. Congressman Brown is on the Homeland Security Committee and had never seen this list until shown in this investigation.

This issue isn’t about racism. This is about protecting our border and is a national security issue. The report is in two parts.

Part I is here.

And here is part II.

Obama telling oil execs to stop finger pointing is like Ryan Seacrest telling Paris Hilton to stop self-tanning.

That coming from a man who built his campaign and presidency on finger pointing.

Barack Obama promised the most transparent administration in history. In his Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government, he commits to “creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.” The full document on openness in government can be read at WhiteHouse.gov.

I guess that only applied back when Obama still believed everyone loved him. And it certainly doesn’t apply when one of Obama’s core base groups is protesting him! Didn’t they get the memo?

Americablog posted the below video of capital police closing Lafayette Park (next to the White House) to prevent reporters from covering a “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” protest.

So, when do we get to the transparent part?

Obama has to be desperate to accept an interview on Fox News.  You know… that “entertainment” channel.  However, we all know that he needed to reach a bigger audience and FNC has four times the viewers as any other cable network.

Rather than conducting the interview with someone like Bill O’Reilly, who has a reputation for going after his guests when they don’t answer his questions, Obama chose Bret Baier, a seemingly mild mannered host.  I saw his interview with O’Reilly right before the 2008 election and I saw the interview with Bret Baier.  He should have gone with O’Reilly.

Bret – Congratulations and thank you from every American for asking tough questions and demanding answers from the President.

To everyone else in the media – That’s how it’s done.  Take notes.  You can watch it multiple times if needed.

Look at this recent clip where Chris Mathews tries unsuccessfully to cut Dan Rather off from making a fool of himself.

I’m thinking Dan gets a pass even though a Republican would be flayed alive for saying such a thing.
