In light of the immigration bill shenanigans, the so-called energy bill, and McCain’s recent dustups with his fellow senators, I find it interesting that we also have more and more calls to shut up the talkers and bring back the so-called Fairness Doctrine (can bloggers be next?).  Here’s Trent Lott and Diane Feinstein trying to explain it

we’re too ignorant to understand the complexities, eh Trent?

explosive hyperbole, and overwhelmingly one way, eh Diane?

and here’s John Kerry, no hyperbole and simple, sew we kan unnerstan it  (hat tip Michelle)


Conservatives squeezed out opposite views?  That would be awful, were it true… that’s why we’re getting this immigration bill rammed down our throats right?  Because the eeevilll conservatives have taken over and don’t allow opposing views.

Pay attention to this one.  There is plenty of time before the next election to change the playing field.  Let’s see, if there are 12 million new Democrat voters, and the government forces all the talkers to hire their own version of Alan Colmes, Hillary! ought to start thinking about renting a hall or two, ya think?
