The House Of Beauchamp Gets One Right…

“Congrats. The New Republic finally smoked out a hoax! Too bad they can’t apply the same standards of veracity and accountability to their own writers when the fit hits the shan.”……

No laree, it’s not about outing oprah. It’s about idiots that follow blindly no matter what the facts are. It’s about getting it right. It’s about the ones that want to do a feel good story, but ignore all the good that has been done in Iraq for their government and their people. I don’t recall oprah doing one of those, do you?

Again, no, it’s not about outing oprah. It’s about someone that gives away cars, (could it be publicity? Or to prove that she’s wealthy? Because it’s a feel good story?) but I doubt seriously if she has sent any relief to Iraq. I could be wrong (and I probably am) as I did not Yahoo, google, or anything else to she if she has.

And that isn’t all from The New Republic. Its editor-in-chief Martin Peretz demanded Secretary of the Treasury Paulson be fired for giving bank status to GMAC. GMAC’s head, J. Ezra Merkin was caught facilitating Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme.

Outing Oprah? Really is this what the story is really about?

Oh, and by the way Oprah, quite the cracker jack research department you’ve got going on there. Why not part with a few more bucks and get someone who doesn’t have their head so far up somewhere that they actually get out and read the news once in a while? Hmmm?

The DriveMyMedia AND the New Republic were a little slow on this story. Several Holocaust Groups called this one weeks ago. Yet other Holocaust groups such as the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum fell for it. So they qualify for the Stephen Glass Award 2008; AKA Chapter 7. The way the MSM thinks: Our local paper East Valley Tribune ceases paid delivery January 12; they are still selling subscriptions. Oh well.

Bill Moyers PBS Special: Oprah was duped into being duped. Deep analytical research shows her best friend telling why Oprah was being duped. Special guest appearances by the Obama’s explaining the reason was she was duped into being duped and why she shouldn’t be blamed for being duped. It all started when Sarah Palin refused to appear on her show. Stay tuned.

That is, if the GOP hasn’t self-destructed by then.

It has already SD’ed. If it can’ts beats ‘em, it joins ‘em. There is no longer a nationally recognized conservative party. The good conservative parties that do exist are marginalized and smeared by the leftist controlled MSM (including Hollywood), public schools and universities, trade unions, and activist judges (and others).

In 4 years, they will be exhausted in their rationalizations and excuses for him.

We’ll also hear a lot more of the Hillary-coined phrase, “vast right-wing conspiracy.” Or perhaps the newer “GOP Mafia.”
