Blowhard News for Tuesday.


‘Condescending’ Buchanan calls Obama a ‘kid’ and ‘a natural athlete.’
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe yesterday, Pat Buchanan argued that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) will not be able to aggressively attack the policy proposals of his opponent Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). “I don’t deny this kid is tough. … But he’s not a fighter,” Buchanan said. Newsweek’s Jon Meacham pushed back, calling Buchanan’s comments “condescending.” “This ‘kid’ is the Democratic nominee for President,” Meacham reminded Buchanan. Buchanan defended himself, saying that Obama is “an outstanding politician, a great natural athlete.”


Glenn Beck Encourages Listeners To Use More Energy To ‘Wipe Out Any Potential Energy Savings’ At The DNC
Responding to the Democrats’ efforts, conservative global warming denier Glenn Beck is mockingly calling on his listeners to participate in a “carbon ONset program” aimed at counteracting progressive efforts to offset the environmental impact of the convention. On his website, Beck is encouraging Americans to “use more energy for mother nature“:

What can you to help? Take part in our carbon ONset program. We are asking you to make just a few small sacrifices to completely wipe out any potential energy savings the Democrats claim credit for. (By ‘energy savings’, we mean buying their way out of the energy they’ll use by flying in tens of thousands of people to a city so they can announce Barack Obama as their candidate. Seems like most people already knew that, but I digress).

Sign up for our carbon ONset program. Use more energy for mother nature. Do it for the earth (or more accurately, the people living on it.)
Chris "Tweety" Matthews asked Obama spokesman David Gibbs if Bill Clinton was a racist. He said no, Bill Clinton is not a racist. Good to know.
