Thoughts On The Writers Guild Strike
By Raoul Felder
The Writers Guild is about to go on strike and the networks shamelessly announced that this would immediately affect the evening talk shows and daytime soap operas by forcing re-runs to be substituted for their usual fare. There was not a hint of embarrassment in this announcement. Is it then admitted that we are left with television notables who cannot even carry on quasi-coherent conversation and actors who cannot improvise the subnormal discourse with other actors intended for the IQ challenged viewers addicted to TV’s daily inanities.
Ghost writers have become a recognized occupation beginning with our Presidents down to our comedian (which, in some cases, might be the same).
The role of Ghost Writers first became memorialized in our political culture with FDR. He utilized, among others, the services of Sam Rosenmund, a New York Judge, who Roosevelt brought with him when he moved from Governor to President. But Roosevelt heavily edited the speeches written for him thereby molding it to his personality. His “Day of Infamy Speech” – indeed that very phrase – was basically his alone.
As time passed, the creative role of the President in writing his speeches became less and less, finally arriving at the point where he basically became an announcer. Not only was it generally acknowledged Peggy Noonan was the author of Reagan’s Pont du Hoc speech but she wrote a book about it, explaining in exquisite detail how she crafted the speech. Bottom line: Reagan, the great communicator, was basically an announcer. Can anyone imagine Lincoln hiring a speech writer to write the Gettysburg Address? From there it goes downhill. Mere mortals who have a ghost write a book for them, usually have the decency to put “as told to,” or “with” etc. under the author’s name. But not politicians. Hillary Clinton’s best seller “It Takes A Village,” did not list any other writer except herself even though it was generally acknowledged that it was ghost written. And, of course, the joke was that Kennedys’ “Profiles In Courage,” was the first book written by a ghost writer to win a Pulitzer Prize.
Now, can anybody imagine George Carlin or Jackie Mason not being able to carry on a conversation without somebody holding up cue cards?
Maybe the strike is a good thing. At least the public will discover that the Emperor has no clothes. Lord knows, they might even be forced to buy a book written by its real author.
Jackie Mason Vlog 63 Al Gore
I can’t believe this low life won a Peace Prize. First of all, what does global warming have to do with peace. Second, what does he even know about the subject? Who made him an expert? Why does Al Gore deserve to win this award? Come to think of it, with other low life laureates that come to mind, Carter, Annan and Arafat, Al gore that phony hypocrite does deserve the award.

Jackie Mason Vlog 64 Fred Thompson Scares The Democrats
The Democrats along with the help of the mainstream, democrat controlled press of this country are down playing Senator Fred Thompson with every chance they get. They know he’s a real threat to them winning in ’08. Everytime Fred Thompson does something that could help him win the primary, they bury it in a second. Anything that could persuade primary voters that he is the best chance to win in ’08 is replaced by their “broken record” mantra about him being lackluster and lazy. He is the only candidate they don’t have any dirt on. Fred Thompson’s position on every issue is solid, and he has never flip-flopped on his convictions. Hillary, who has no convictions of any kind, knows she will have trouble beating him.
Fred Thompson scares the life out of the Democrats, but they will do their best, along with a little help of their friends, the mainstream press, to make you totally unaware of it so you’ll vote for someone they can beat.

It doesn’t take a debate to expose Hillary for being a fraud. Everyone is surprised to see Hillary exposing her lack of conviction and flip-flopping during the last MSNBC debate this week.
