Thank You Mr. Rumsfeld

I’m not the most pessimistic person in the world. In fact, I am perhaps the only American left that believes in our president and thinks that the war in Iraq is good for Iraq.

It obviously not a popular thing to say. Even today, when Donald Rumsfeld was conducting his last town hall meeting at the Pentagon, he was cut off by all the networks. After nearly 50 years of public service, the politically minded schmucks running the networks haven’t changed.

All the networks managed to show a tearful outgoing Secretary of Defense. The news hounds struggled to keep the cameras rolling as the first question came about "What have you read while in office?"

In a moment clearly planned, the next question was from a proud father and soldier who stood up and said, "I would like to thank you for…" Then CNN cut him off. They instantly went back to the negative news on the war in Iraq. A quick flip to MSNBC and FoxNews showed the same thing. Fox actually cut from Rumsfeld to the scary music and "another bombing in Baghdad." Puke. I’m just sick of it.

At the same time, it almost 22 months until the next Presidential election… and the news agencies have already anointed Barack Obama and Hilllary Rodham Clinton as the democrats best chances at taking the White House.

Excuse me? Do the American people need to be dared once again? I know that they think that electing Bush twice, despite the presses best attempts to prevent it was a fluke. I actually think that the liberal media is the worst enemy of the Democratic party. I’m no politician, but I think that the most electable person in the country may be a celebrity such as Jon Stewart.
