THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

Obama Says He's "Frustrated" By People Who Dare To Criticize His Ebola Response
A visibly agitated President Obama on Wednesday ripped into critics of the U.S. response to the Ebola virus, insisting that his administration was leading the charge to "snuff out" the deadly disease.
"When I hear people talking about American leadership and then are promoting policies that would avoid leadership … [and have us] hiding under the covers, it makes me a little frustrated," the president said, joined by healthcare workers who treated the disease in West Africa, including American Ebola survivor Dr. Kent Brantly.
With less than a week to the midterms, the president is making public remarks almost daily in an attempt to fend off charges that his administration was caught flat-footed by a virus that has traveled from West Africa to the United States.
Governors implementing Ebola policies that contradict the president's blueprint, however, are undermining the White House's message.

THREE MARTINI LUNCH: OCTOBER 29, 2014

National Review's Andrew Johnson joins Greg Corombos. Today's topics: Millennials sour on Obama and the Dems, the State Department wants to bring Ebola-infected doctors to the U.S., and a ridiculous NARAL ad attacks Colorado GOP Senate hopeful Cory Gardner.



The unintentionally funny "Cory Gardner's going to cause a condom shortage" NARAL attack ad
An instant classic via the Federalist and a concise demonstration of what the Denver Post had in mind when it endorsed Gardner a few weeks ago, dismissing Mark "Uterus" Udall's incessant war-on-women messaging in Colorado as an "obnoxious one-issue campaign [and] an insult to those he seeks to convince." Here's NARAL backing Udall up with the stupidest ad of the campaign, in which a guy who — famously — backs making birth control available over the counter somehow becomes the grim reaper of prophylactics, singlehandedly banning the pill and triggering a run on condoms coast to coast.
I'm surprised that NARAL thinks he'd leave condoms alone; if the GOP's goal, as more excitable feminists assure themselves, is to keep women pregnant and out of the work force, it makes no sense to leave condoms on the shelves after the pill has disappeared. Maybe NARAL figured that a simple double-standard critique was more effective. Sure, Cory will allow birth control for men, but not for women. Apart from the freely available OTC birth control for women that he supports, I mean.
Listening to the ad, John McCormack had an image of Gardner as the Hamburglar, going house to house to pilfer women's pills when they weren't looking. What really cinches this as a classic, though, is this line, the funniest inadvertent self-parody of progressive attitudes since Pajama Boy:
Climate change that everyone knows is weirding our weather, Cory flat-out denies it. Sweet Pea, Cory denies science!
Mentioning "science" to flatter progressives that they're the last bulwark against a new Dark Age along with the vague, ridiculous term "weirding the weather" feels like a goof on the sort of lefty who gushes loudly and regularly about science to advertise his intellect but isn't real hung up on the details. (See, e.g., the Neil deGrasse Tyson fanboys.) Why can't Cory see the weirding, Sweet Pea? Does he hate books 'n stuff?
Exit question: Odd that a group that's all about "empowering" women would feature a man explaining politics and current events to his ignorant girlfriend, no?

THREE MARTINI LUNCH: OCTOBER 28, 2014

National Review's Jim Geraghty joins host Greg Corombos to discuss the day's political news. Today: Dems run away from Obama and Harry Reid, the White House makes up its Ebola policy as it goes along, and a South Dakota Dem nominee for Senate accuses national Democrats of trying to sink his campaign.



Landrieu: Come to think of it, I can't quite say whether I'd support Harry Reid again
I realize we just checked in on the Louisiana Senate race yesterday, but this video juxtaposition is too fun to pass up. Mary Landrieu, on Harry Reid, last night:
"Harry Reid presents some problems…I'm going to make my decision based on what is before me and who is running…I am going to wait to see what the leadership looks like…"
Mary Landrieu, on Harry Reid, in May:
Reporter: "You won't say one way or the other whether you'll back Harry Reid?"
Landrieu: "Well if he runs, I will."
And thus Mary Landrieu unconvincingly joins the swollen ranks of frightened Democrats who are seeking shelter behind awkward equivocations over their own party's leadership, many of whom are trying to deflect attention from long voting records of marching in lockstep when it counts. A vote for Landrieu is a vote for Barack Obama and Harry Reid; the president said so himself.  Crossroads GPS is up with a new ad using Obama's infamous interview with Al Sharpton to deny Landrieu the opportunity to open up daylight between herself and the unpopular president she supports 97 percent of the time...

'Visibly angry,' seething mad president takes out deepening frustrations on little white ball

President Obama is always the first to claim that no one is more frustrated, angry, or upset than he is whenever his administration meets a setback. In a lengthy article in Friday's New York Times, sources at the Ebola meeting for which the president had to cancel a DCCC fundraiser said the president was "visibly angry" at the incompetence on display: 
Beneath the calming reassurance that President Obama has repeatedly offered during the Ebola crisis, there is a deepening frustration, even anger, with how the government has handled key elements of the response. Those frustrations spilled over when Mr. Obama convened his top aides in the Cabinet room after canceling his schedule on Wednesday. Medical officials were providing information that later turned out to be wrong. Guidance to local health teams was not adequate. It was unclear which Ebola patients belonged in which threat categories. "It's not tight," a visibly angry Mr. Obama said of the response, according to people briefed on the meeting. He told aides they needed to get ahead of events and demanded a more hands-on approach…
