Drones; SOTU; Rebranding the GOP; the Saturday Mail Shocker


FRI FEB 8, 2013
Hosts:

Matt: The Drone Wars. Hit me with the Liberal schmear Bob. 

Bob: Congress is letting the CIA kill without oversight. 54 overseas torture sights. "O" is a Chimpy 3rd term.

Byron: "O" is finally pinning itself in the corner.  Easier to kill than close Guantanamo. Torture rocks, but the dead end on terror is to kill them. Big "O" failure here. 

Chrystia: Conflated issues. No debate. "O" is getting a pass on killing. Issue highlight. Want to know the counter-productive impacts of the The Drone Wars?  (Master Of The Obvious alert!) The local targets on the ground hate the missiles. 

Matt: McCrystal agrees. Personally, I'm really panicky about The Drone Wars! Future conflicts! Rubicon's will be crossed!! Why aren't Liberal outraged, Bob?

Bob: I bitched about this in my column this week. Congress is covering up torture and the murders in The Drone Wars. It's hopeless to correct this corruption. Government abuse of power is endless. 

Matt: This week, Tea Baggers tried to rebrand their bigotry with little success. 

Byron: Rutgers study says recession was really a depression. Numbers. Pessimism. The maniac insanity of House republicans prevent them from helping American citizens. Comrade "O" never mentions unemployment in his inaugural address! Blame "O" not bat-shit-insane Tea Baggers! Eric Cantor tried to rebrand the GOP at the AEI, but he does that shit on a 6 month basis. He knows the economic score but he just doesn't care! It's a real problem.

Chrystia: Eric Cantor is not re-thinking, nor is he re-branding. It's funny watching Cantor trying to sell shitty unpopular politics by simply repeating everything slowly. Its like watching Thurston Howell III talking to his Mexican gardner. Unemployment is ignored by the Very Serious People, Tea Baggers and the 1%. There is no way, on God's green earth, that the Republican party will do ANYTHING about unemployment. Nothing. 

HALF TIME!

Matt: GOP rebranding. Give me that old time religion Bob. 

Bob: Meh. Chrystia did a good job. Republican scapegoat welfare, immigrants, gays and abortion  because the Tea Bag base refuses to deal with unemployment. Right Wing Nut republicans are killing Far Right Wing Nut Lunatics. Even Dick Nixon wanted a guaranteed annual income! Eisenhower! Rockefeller! "O" failed like Chimpy did. They threw free money at Wall Street. 

Matt: Republicans hate the 99%. They hate average Americans, and the voters know it. Republicans are servile to their inner Tea Bag. Post Office not delivering on Saturday. Byron?

Byron: It is the Post Office Union that ruined everything. 

Chrystia: Junkmail. Internet. Union jobs are good jobs.

Bob: Byron, its called the US Postal SERVICE! It's what they do.

Byron: "O"'s State of the Union will suck. Let's see if he mentions unemployment, but like I said before, don't blame Tea Baggers, blame "O"! He needs to talk more! Again, "O" talk more, don't blame Tea Bag Republicans.

Matt: Byron, what can Republicans do about jobs?

Byron: Again, republicans can do, and will do nothing about unemployment. "O" needs to implement Democratic policies, but, you know, Tea Bag Republicans will kill anything that help average Americans. (Read: the 99%)

Matt: Interesting. Chrystia?

Chrystia: "O" should say something interesting. Something Liberal. Where the beef is. Climate change and energy, Keystone pipeline.

Bob: Staged events. Good inaugural speech. Inner FDR. Justice Department finally got of its ass and sued Standard & Poor.  Stop the 85 billion a month bailout that is still going on.

Matt: Democrats are preventing the rise in teaching standards. We need Rock Star teachers like Singapore. 

Byron: Eric Cantor mentioned that at his Flail Fest at the AEI last week. I'll reuse my Rutgers study to say college is out of reach. Cheaper college loans is not the answer. Nothing can be done. Don't look for Republican leadership on this issue.

Chrystia: Education should be front and center. Pre-distribution.  Birth lottery. "O" failed at financial reform. Stiffen spines for financial reform. Banksters are getting away with murder. American infrastructure is depressing. We are way behind the power curve on that. Infrastructure spending was killed by Tea Baggers and it's a shame. 

Bob: Elite schools allow elite people to steal. Inequality is ruining America. 

FAMED AROUND THE HORN END OF SHOW RANT

Byron: Sequestration. Cut entitlement spending. I want to hurt poor people. I want them bleeding under excessive Defense spending. Screw them. 

Chrystia: Pet Cheer! Gay marriage is going universal. 

Bob: George Soros fought both Nazi's and troglodyte republicans. What a hero! 

Matt: Raise the minimum wage. Nuance. We should have a minimum decent life. Good bye!
