Mouth Issues

I read a comment by Erick Erickson at RedState today that made a lot of sense. He talked about Rick Perry's comments on the Fed not being the big problem everyone seems to think it is. I agree. Anytime you can freak out the President with your words and get a personal response you've done your job well.

We've had lots of politicians who've made ridiculous statments. I think if I had to stand in front of a bunch of nimnos and try to think off the top of my head, I'd probably create controversy daily. But Gov Perry's statement about the Fed was right on. Print more money, might as well use it for toilet paper. Isn't that treasonous? Placing the entire country in danger of collapse isn't a joke.

If the media griped about people like Joe Biden, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi's mouths as much as they complained about the GOP, we might actually have objective journalism in America. But we do not. Those folks have said some things that are vile and downright nasty with no reaction except to show how mad we conservatives were at their statements.

Weird. But in case you were wondering, it's just going to get worse. My old boss calls elections years the "silly season." He's so polite. I'd describe it as "get the helmets, Agnes, I hear the missiles!"
