— rdbrewer From NewsBusters, via Ben's headline dump, the unbiased professional Martha Raddatz fawns over Hillary.
On the October 20 edition of the program, ABC’s Martha Raddatz declared that Hillary Clinton was “on fire” while campaigning for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe on Saturday.Co-anchor Dan Harris kicked off the Hillary watch by pretending that Mrs. Clinton was making a comeback: “[A] lot of people talking this morning about the return of Hillary Clinton, attending her first political rally in four years on Saturday.”
. . .
Harris then brought Raddatz into the discussion, and the senior foreign affairs correspondent cheered Mrs. Clinton’s campaign appearance: “This was the first explicitly political event for Hillary Clinton in four years, and she was on fire campaigning for the Virginia gubernatorial candidate, her old friend Terry McAuliffe. She was a big draw, lots of applause and lots of fire bombs aimed at the Republicans.”
What, these "firebombs" don't make her into a divisive partisan extremist ideologue whose negative tone is causing the public to hate politics and politicians even more?
Pure boosterism from someone who would never say the same about a conservative.

Which is bullshit because she's been giving speeches at which the press is banned.
There is no honesty in the US MSM. Only courtesans.
The GOP better be thankful she has zero charisma.

You know, sounds just like the sort of objective news woman we'd like to moderate the VP debate.

"She is a long way from announcing anything, Dan, but each day it seems clear that Hillary Clinton is itching to get back in the political theater."
I hope that I will never again have to read a sentence with Hillary Clinton and "itching" in the same sentence.

Wife suggests maybe it's out of gas. Light Bulb. (The gas gauge hasn't worked in a while). I put two gallons in the tank, and....nothing. We call the shop, and the owner himself came up to take a look at it. Removed the gas cap, poked his finger in to open the little flap fuel door thingy, and had me turn the key to the run position. "Out of gas", he said.
The van was on just enough of a slope that the two gallons I added earlier pooled up on the side of the tank opposite that of the fuel pump, and the shop owner was listening to the pump. So....learned that neat trick.
Added another five gallons, and now it's running fine.

She is not a handsome woman, and I don't get the impression she can blame her hideous looks on age.
She must have been really really good at blow jobs. And anal. There's really no other explanation for it.
Compared with, for example, Katie Courics. Back in her early 20s she was cute. She could have gotten away with only needing to provide handjobs to the old coots at NBC, and didn't need to get on all fours until she landed her job at CBS.

And, he said, there currently are only two Army brigades rated combat-ready. That's a total of between 7,000 to 10,000 troops and less than one-third what the combat veteran regards as necessary for proper national security. "Right now," Odierno said, "we have in the Army two brigades that are trained. That's it. Two."
Odierno also revealed that troops shipping out to Afghanistan now are prepared only to train and assist Afghan troops, not to conduct combat operations themselves. But, of course, there's no guarantee the Americans won't find themselves in combat while accompanying Afghan soldiers.
All this to obey Obama administration orders to drastically cut the Army and military spending and meet cuts under sequestration. Since the Obama Pentagon began the troop draw-down two years ago under the president's orders, more than 33,000 active duty soldiers have been cut.
Current plans call for additional reductions of 42,000 soldiers in the next 23 months to a total of 490,000, down from 570,000. Those cuts have been accelerated by two years under Pentagon orders and will involve involuntary separations of thousands.
But under directions from Obama Defense Secy. Chuck Hagel last summer, military planners now anticipate administration orders to sever another 70,000 active-duty Army personnel at all levels, most of them unwillingly and after receiving expensive training. The 420,000-level is the absolute minimum Odierno says he can effectively operate, but he warns equipment updating and purchases have already been adversely affected.
"The worst-case scenario," Odierno said, "is you ask me to deploy thousands of soldiers somewhere and we have not properly trained them to go because we simply don't have the dollars and money."

After Raddatz and Candy Crowley "moderating" debates in 2012, Frank Fahrenkopf should have been taken out into the countryside in an unmarked van.
He should have come back. On foot. Covered with tar and feathers.
A party that was serious about winning would fire its Fahrenkopfs for gross incompetence. Fired as in truly fired. No comebacks. No do-overs. Banned, exiled, blacklisted, forever, don't let the door hit you in the ass.
That such exiles don't happen tells you a lot about how unserious the establishment GOP have become.
Jeez, look at the Democrats. They have had this same problem themselves. They kept Bob Shrum on as a top level consultant despite his 0-for-8 record in running Democratic presidential attempts. The only two really electorally successful Democratic presidents of postwar, Clinton and Obama, were built around Shrum-free campaigns.
A good case could be made that the Democrats might have performed even better than they have over the last four decades if they had permanently sacked Shrum from working for party candidates after his first two high profile flameouts. Shit, if not for Shrum and his incompetence, Kerry could potentially have beaten Bush in '04.

The only - the ONLY - fucking reason McAuliffe is running for VA governor is to help carry purple VA for Hillary! in 2016. The. Only. Reason. She's campaigning for him and he'll do the same when the time comes. It's the only reason why a carpetbagging douche like McAuliffe would pick VA to run.
The sad part is, he's probably going to win as enough carpet bagging Northern Virginians will buy his bullshit and elect his corrupt ass. In return, he will do his best to get Hillary! elected and, of course, turn VA from a once-proud conservative gun-supporting state into a mushy blue mess.
