ABC had Obama on This Week taking softballs from Stephanopolous. He was sitting down, but he was pretty funny nonetheless. For example, he opened by saying his new executive amnesty was not legislative in nature; he was merely granting immunity to five million through a little 'prosecutorial discretion'. And all the liberal pundits on This Week and Meet the Press agreed with that, even as they said that the Republicans forced Obama to do it by refusing to add another few thousand lines to the already unfathomably complex federal code. Apparently legislating for a republic by executive (or is that monarchial?) fiat is less of a crime these days than failing to bury us in properly passed legislation. The contradictions went unnoticed.
Prosecutorial discretion. I thought that was generally exercised by, you know, prosecutors. And so did Texas Attorney General and governor-elect Abbott over on Fox. If he had been given all of Cruz's time Fox Sunday Morning would have made twice as much sense.
But that was not the end of Obama's sit down stand up comedy. He said voters would be happy to have Hillary Clinton as their president because the woman who tried to shove through Obamacare fifteen years before anyone ever even heard of Obama has that 'new car smell'. And she does, too--if you compare her to a Studebaker.
But Obama wasn't the funniest guy on the air. Benny Netanyahu did better talking about Iran's potential intercontinental ballistic missiles. Meet the Press opened with illiterate people talking about how wonderful Emperor Barry I was, and Fox opened with illiterate people talking about Ferguson, Missouri--a subject that generated much blather, but no news. But it did give Meet the Press a chance to provide the real comedy gem of the morning--our old friend Rudy 9iu11iani talking about how if black people didn't thuggishly kill each other so often, we wouldn't have to send white government thugs in to help them kill each other.
Face the Nation has been downright sober after all that hilarity. About the funniest thing so far is Rep. Gutierrez (D-IL) saying how wonderful it is that Obama is going after (as Obama put it) 'felons, not families' as if no felon ever got a woman pregnant. Which, you know, is pretty damned funny...
