You have to be a real political
junkie to listen, each Saturday morning, to the president's weekly radio address, and even more of one to list to the weekly
response form whatever Democrat draws the short straw. News radio, out here in Los Angeles, is dead on Saturday. One all news
station (KNX) drops the two addresses somewhere in the four-hour call-in food show, between recipes. The headline news station
(KFWB) may give a one-sentence summary, and that's a short sentence. The progressive station (KTLK) runs infomercials for
miracle cures, and gets to its regular programming later in the day. The many right-wing talk stations prefer their own rants.
No one listens. Why either the White House or the opposition bothers at all is a question. The real problem though
- and this becomes clear listening to the president, and increasingly from his supporters - is that the president no longer
has any coherent idea of what the war he's fighting amounts to or what victory would look like. Armando over at Daily
Kos here – What pretty words from
a perfect fool. So these two listened.
Maybe it was best to sleep in, then run errands. The divide is deep. Nothing is changing. |
