Victory and it's adherents

Cable news is simply hopeless, there is no redeeming it.
I was watching the "Super Tuesday" coverage last night and an exhausting banal exercise it was in every way
Chris Matthews is batty, no doubt about it.
He interrupts the smarmy bastard the network sent to Kerry Headquarters last night several times, made odd irrelevant asides all evening, and this tripe was scheduled to ramble on til 2 am!
There is a scary thought, it is one am and Chris is still jabbering away like an overtired wolverine...no doubt in the wee small hours of the morning Matthews can finally convince himself that Kerry is doomed and the election should be cancelled.
The rest of my channel surfing was just as ridiculous...Joe Trippi looks like a shell-shocked bum, Ralph Reed has that hateful little smirk on his face...can't recall the name of a single fighting liberal called out to do election play by play.
James Carville, Paul Begala or Joe Conason were nowhere to be seen.
Wolf Blitzer is a pompous bore and Faux News had some hideous fembot yakking away like there was no tomorrow...christ it was like feeding time in a carnival side show.
I can't recall a single sensible thing any of these yankers said over the course of ninety minutes of viewing...in contrast I can recall most of the details of Kerry's victory speech last night plus a few vignettes from John Edward's post primary appearance.
Kerry seems to running a fairly serious even conservative campaign...this is not to say he is being cautious or anything.
His most potent lines last night revolved around preserving and conserving the gains of past liberal administrations. His biggest applause line were the promise of energy independence and the pledge to get health coverage for all Americans.
Hardly comintern stuff.
But then, Kerry isn't the radical in the race, Bush is.
Speaking of Bush what is his game plan?
He seems to be running on all the socially divisive issues he wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll in campaign 2000.
If in October of 2000 some enterprising reporter had asked GWB to comment on a proposed amendment to the constitution outlawing gay marriage, Karl Rove would've hustled the candidate out of the room without another word.
Yet in situation after situation these days Bush continually caves in to his radical revolutionary right, his AG comports himself like the head of the Czarist secret police, personal medical records are seized, and homosexuals denounced in flowery legal language.
One get the impression that these people have the President at bay, they charge a high price for their support and GWB will pay and pay again before November's election.
It calls Bush's leadership into question certainly, but you'd never know that from watching cable news last night.
