Tears for Fears--Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Welcome to our lives and the people who want to rule our world. And it's not just the politicians (although, Michele Bachmann, bless her bat-sh#t crazy little heart does get a chance to shine on TWO shows this morning), it's the media as well. Look who they book, and how often. Listen to how they frame the interviews...oh yes, there's little doubt of exactly who they want to rule our world. Well, I guess there's no turning back. Mitch McConnell appears to be challenging John McCain on the number of times he can get booked on the Sunday shows. This time, he'll be on This Week. And the one GOP star *not* running for POTUS, Chris Christie will charm the pants off David Gregory on Meet the Press. Tea Party wacko Jim DeMint will get some air time with Candy Crowley--let's see who she's tougher on: DeMint or Nancy Pelosi. And Chris Matthews wants to know if his pundit buddies thinks that Obama has "beaten" the Democrats' "dovish" image. Oh yeah, everybody wants to rule this world.
