Piers Morgan vs. Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Like John Stewart of the Daily Show, Larry King's left-wing replacement on CNN, Celebrity Apprentice winner Piers Morgan, moved away--for once--from the usual liberal propaganda in this interview with Democrat talking point machine Debbie Wasserman Schultz about Gov. Scott Walker's triumph in Tuesday's recall election:



Perhaps because of lack of knowledge, Morgan let her get away with crowing about the Democrats possibly winning one of the four state senate seats up for recall. The Wisconsin state senate is out of session and if the Dems wind up getting that one seat (apparently a recount may be involved) to flip the senate to their side, their victory may be meaningless and merely symbolic. In November, the Republicans are strongly favored to take back control.

 In the aftermath of the Wisconsin recall, Rick Manning of The Hill had these thoughts:

It is disconcerting that those who were viewed as “public servants” now have higher average salaries, better pensions and better healthcare plans than those who pay the taxes to support them. At some point the public employee unions and the politicians who support them have made the taxpayers the servants of the government, working to pay for healthcare plans for the public employee that they cannot afford for their own families. That is the real story of Wisconsin, the rebellion of those who pay the freight against the public employee unions who have turned taxpayers into servants.

FiscalTimes columnist Liz Peek similarly weighed in on the Walker victory:

Democrats tried to divide Wisconsin into people who were for or against public unions. At the end, the strategy crumbled, because voters saw only one state, one budget, one common good. ..

The New York Times and other liberal outfits will lay the blame for this unthinkable turn of events – Wisconsin went for Obama by 14 points – by noting that Walker outspent his rival many times over. There is no question that heavy advertising by Walker’s supporters helped his cause. But only because his message made sense. In cities and states across our country, citizens are losing their libraries, their parks and their pre-school programs because benefits for public union employees have crowded out everything else.  Money for education is being sucked into a dark pool of protected tenure and guaranteed investment returns on pension assets. Money for public safety is going to rigged retirement pay and disproportionate disability awards. These distortions cannot continue...

Walker’s victory was not the only one this week for those trying to right the balance between public interest and public unions. In San Diego and San Jose, voters approved measures that demanded union workers pay more towards their health care and pensions.

 

CNN: ObamaCare Train Wreck is Now a Plane Wreck

Following Day 3 of the U.S. Supreme Court hearing on ObamaCare, CNN's liberal--er, legal--analyst Jeffery Toobin once again says that the individual mandate is doomed.




 

CNN Disaster Coverage: ObamaCare "Train Wreck" at the Supreme Court

Day 2 of oral arguments in the ObamaCare case at the U.S. Supreme Court was a "train wreck" for the Obama administration according to CNN liberal, er, legal, analyst Jeffrey Toobin:



If Toobin is correct that the the court will declare the law unconstitutional, will the Justices merely block the individual mandate or throw out the entire 2,000+ page ObamaCare monstrosity ridiculously known as the Affordable Care Act given that the legislation has no severability clause?

 

As It Happened...

CNN and Fox breaking news coverage of the World Trade Center Attack on 9/11/01 plus newly released NASA footage from the International Space Station:

Mexico's Tough Immigration Laws

Mexican President Calderon is good on some issues, especially in his fight against the drug cartels. He is, however, way off base in his criticism of Arizona's new immigration law, given his own country's draconian immigration statutes. Mexico also has troops protecting its southern border.

Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals. The law also says Mexico can deport foreigners who are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," violate Mexican law, are not "physically or mentally healthy" or lack the "necessary funds for their sustenance" and for their dependents.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer for once escaped the liberal cocoon and politely calls out President Calderon on his hypocrisy--starting at the 4-minute mark:



Another usually reliable liberal voice, CNN's Jack Cafferty, blasts the administration's failure to enforce immigration law:

CNN Anchor Blasts Ft. Hood Report

CNN's Jack Cafferty used to be one of the Bush administration's most vociferous critics. Lately, Democrat leaders in Washington have become the subject of his wrath. In this clip, he calls the Pentagon's 86-page report on the Ft. Hood shooting rampage a joke and a politically correct whitewash:
