Chelsea Clinton announced today she and husband Marc Mezvinsky are expecting a child.

Hillary and Bill are of course, excited. Hillary tweeted:

“My most exciting title yet: Grandmother-To-Be!”

The new addition to the family is due "sometime later this year."

    Ugly Chelsea was a running gag for years for Rush

    From the great Molly Ivins

    On his TV show, early in the Clinton administration, Limbaugh put up a picture of Socks, the White House cat, and asked, 'Did you know there's a White House dog?' Then he put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton, who was 13 years old at the time and as far as I know had never done any harm to anyone.

    probably just me, but guys like Rush, Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and others seem so so stupid.

    And they sell millions of books.

    I wouldn't even guess that they were literate - maybe someone writes that cr@p for them - Hannity poses constantly with a pencil - I guess he wants us to at least think that he can write...

    But honestly - it's not just the content of what they say.
    They just sound so dumb to me.

    But they have a loyal following - people quote them - their excretions get republished in Huffpo - they make millions and have been doing so since forever.

    The only glimmer of hope I see in the media is the appointment by CBS of Stephen Colbert to do the Late Show.

    Otherwise... I don't see how we have survived so far.

    But I just can't Howdy.  Life is too short.  And when I lived in WY I was exposed to the BLM leasing of grazing land too.  It is a little corrupt at times who gets the grazing land.  It is all supposed to be bid on but sometimes the system somehow fails.  The BLM wild horse herds have been destroyed in WY too.  They said the horses were destroying environment but then they leased that same land for natural gas fracking as soon as they eradicated the herds.

    All the natural gas wells all over the BLM land is so ugly.

    I suspect the reason they folded and gave the guy his cattle back is because that is what they want that grazing land for.  He hasn't paid for it, he has no right to it.  You can't believe the unpaid grazing tab that some WY ranches ran though.

    I suspect they gave the guy his cows back because as soon as they legally have him off they are going to frack the hell out of that area.  And if they had confiscated his cattle to do it, well that's just too much corruption in front of too many followers that this guy has garnered.

    Hannity isn't telling the truth either, but I would like to avoid throwing things at my TV.

    It is natural for humans to use resources when they appear to be abundant. The idea of squandering only enters the picture when resources cease to be abundant.

    From deforestation, to killing off animal populations, is pretty natural.

    Think of the air...  who would ever think of trying to conserve it?
    But if there ever becomes a shortage of Oxygen in the air, the smart set will point a finger and say how wasteful humans are.

    Maybe Hannity is a twerp. Well, forget the maybe.

    More like a bully actually.

    But whatever these people are, they have made millions of dollars - and even people on this website listen to their shows - if only to disparage them.

    I have seen or heard only clips.

    I find their sounds so immediately repulsive I cannot continue to listen.

    In the same vein - there's W.
    He sounds so dumb.
    Then there's Reagan. The Saint. The Airport.

    Add Bush the first to that scurvy list as far as I am concerned.

    Then, of course, there are those pols who can sound intelligent (like Clinton), but prove themselves to be neither the best nor the brightest. They take a little time to wear you down. For me, Obama is in that latter category - although he lost me early on with "sweetie" and other sundry comments.

    But at least those guys have an intelligent facade.

    With Limbaugh and Hannity and O'Reilly, I can't get past the first few words before I reach for the remote - or the Dramamine.

    by christinep on Sat Apr 19, 2014 at 01:08:33 PM EST
    What we can know, however, is that the Limbaugh ilk and related play on and spur people's fears.  For awhile, fear can be a powerful motivator ... especially, if what is spewed on the airwaves is the fear of <fill in the blanks.>  And, as I recall from some nebulous studies, once the fear is awakened and the stimulus is repeated again & again, it takes an increased level of fear-mongering to achieve the same result in the subject populace.  So, witness the louder & louder levels of fear-mongering by Limbaugh and friends ... to the point where (as squeaky guessed) it borders on grotesque comedy.

    Whether right-wing or whatever, that kind of fear-mongering used to leave me angry as well.  Until I began to consider outlandish diatribes in politics to betray a bad comedy.

    But to reply to what you just wrote - I think those guys hardly qualify as the enemy. So much hot air. I wonder how much influence they actually wield when it comes down to it.

    It would be interesting to have some exit poll asking people if they were swayed into voting for some cretin or other by the blatherings of one of those "personalities".

    In any case - to veer slightly - General Motors has recently been responsible - knowingly so - for the deaths of at least 13 people. How is that different from some freak with a machine gun mowing down a bunch of people?  Now that's an enemy - and the machinery that will allow those responsible at GM to get away with murder - that's an enemy.

    secret recording has emerged of a meeting between Chelsea, Bill, Hillary and fourteen unnamed advisors. Marc was not present.

    It was proposed that Chelsea become an astronaut.
    That she do a cameo in a Woody Allen movie.
    That she replace Letterman.
    That she lead a rock band.

    Someone, unidentified, is heard to shout from the back of the room suggesting a timely pregnancy.

    I guess that prevailed.

    He's a regular columnist for Newsmax. He's appeared on Fox and Friends, Hannity, he's a right wing talk host. Yeah, I think Tracy had it nailed 100%. You guys are so predictable.

    Even you were shopping Dick Morris's conspiracy theory the other day about the "secret CIA agent" that he can't realease his name and a document that only he and the secret agent man had seen. But hey, Morris has a good gig fleecing you guys and I guess you want to be fleeced so have at it buddy!!

    since I am almost 76 I can remember when everything was not political. When kids were not used and when they weren't attacked.

    And while you folks cam't forget the nasty's of the Right, you don't seem to remember how Palin's children were savaged.

    And I gotta admit. Your "droppings," if that what you want to start calling each other's comments, have a distinct "two holer" odor.

    Try sprinkling some lime on them....

    You are a "progressive" which means that you have progressed to the point that you demand 100% agreement on all things political.

     "TALKLEFT"

    You know, back in the day we had some really good debates. Usually civil and often informative.

    That mostly went away in the 2008 election cycle when a plethora of KOS types showed up. Many of the regulars left and haven't returned. In fact, I think kdog, MT, squeaky and I are the only ones left from that group though I may have missed someone.

    So the deal is this. Do you want a chat group or do you want a place to discuss and debate the various issues of the day?? I think you  want a chat group.

    whether being a grandmother will impact negatively on her possible candidacy.

    I remember that McCain got the "grampa" treatment relentlessly.

    Of course I wish her and Chelsea the best, but everything is political it seems.

    I hope this post isn't a downer on an otherwise cheerful and loving one.

    If so, I apologize.
