Thoughts on the Sunday shows

In general the Sunday shows are tiresome. They have become, either out of desperation for eyeballs or lack of intellectual curiosity, National Enquirer type sensationalism that do little more than rehash partisan talking points minus interesting debate or dialogue. -Sessions looked terrified while tip-toeing around Rush calling Sotomayor a racist. Considering Sen. Sessions very checkered racist past it was telling that he wouldn't denounce the use of racist slurs and insults aimed at Judge Sotomayor. Instead, he said that while he wouldn't use those words, others were free to say what they like. Does he just fear Rush or does he believe being racist is a freedom of choice afforded us all under the constitution? -I lost count of how many guests were hocking books today. I think I'll read Renegade by Richard Wolfe but can't remember any of the others. -Chuck has obviously done his homework on Judge Sotomayor, he was a great surogate for her today. -Gwen Ifill was brilliant on identity politics.

"I always try to take arguments like this and turn them on their heads. And I never hear people say that for a white male that it's identity politics if he is shaped by his white maleness, and by the things that affected his life, and whether privilege affected his life. That's never considered to be a negative. "It's only considered to be a negative when ethnicity is involved, or race is involved, or gender is involved."

-George Will has got to go. BIG as in number of American jobs at risk. Market cap dosen't means jack. The guy is an idiot.
