Estrich
Talking Sense for a Change
You can't just answer the charges. You can't just say
it ain't so.
You have to fight fire with fire, mud with mud, dirt with dirt.
The trouble with Democrats, traditionally, is that we're not mean
enough. Dukakis wasn't. I wasn't. I don't particularly like destroying
people. I got into politics because of issues, not anger. But too much
is at stake to play by Dukakis rules, and lose again.
That is the conclusion Democrats have reached. So watch out. Millions of
dollars will be on the table. And there are plenty of choices for what
to spend it on.
And she lists some of them. Maybe now she won't feel
inclined to tell Sean Hannity, one of the prime spreaders of the vicious
lies about Kerry, how much she loves him.

McCain
Condemns Veterans' Anti-Kerry Ad
Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war
in Vietnam, called an ad criticizing John Kerry's military service
"dishonest and dishonorable" and urged the White House on
Thursday to condemn it as well.
...Jim Rassmann, an Army veteran who was saved by Kerry, said there were
only six crewmates who served with Kerry on his boat. Five support his
candidacy, and one is deceased.
Much to his credit, Bill O'Reilly condemned the ad, as
did his guest Dick Morris. Susan Estrich, filling in for Alan Colmes,
should be praised also, doing a pretty good job cross-examining one of the
veterans featured in the ad. Thankfully, Estrich exhibited none of her
frozen-smile stares into the camera. On the down side, Hannity, true to
form, did not condemn the ad. Hannity also obsessed about how horrible it
was that Kerry admitted committing war crimes in Vietnam. In the next
breath, Hannity condemns Kerry for accusing U.S. troops there of
committing such war crimes. But if Hannity believes Kerry's admission,
Hannity must also logically agree with Kerry's charge about U.S. troops in
general there, since certain of the war crimes in question, free-fire
zones for example, were clearly part of official military policy in
Vietnam.

Was Susan Estrich drunk yesterday when
substituting for Alan Colmes on Hannity & Colmes? Even by the
standard of her usual sycophancy, she was over the top. She said, more
than once, how much she liked Sean Hannity and guest Newt Gingrinch, how
they were her friends. She kept leaning so far back in her chair that she
was almost horizontal. At one point she was getting so buddy-buddy with
Newt it looked like she was ready to jump over and give him a lap dance.
She also made sure we knew that Ann Coulter, another guest, was her
friend. She seemed to take great delight in stating that Air America was
"failing." (I don't know that to be true in any case). Estrich
is filling the role of compliant, house liberal so well, "Doormat"
Colmes better watch out for his job. Addendum: I forgot to
mention, Estrich said that people come up to her in the bathroom and ask
her how she could work for Fox, and that she replies "Are you hiring
me?" Estrich seemed very proud of that response. Estrich is a law
professor at USC. What, is she starving? She's so desperate for money she
has to hire herself out as a house liberal at Fox?

I'm
always criticizing Susan Estrich, but I must admit, aside from her opening
frozen grin wooden dummy appearance, when she started talking the other
night on Hannity & Colmes, she was kicking some ass.

Neil Cavuto and Susan Estrich Join NewsMax
--
Fox News financial guru Neil Cavuto and best-selling author and law
professor Susan Estrich bring to NewsMax their wisdom and insight.
This is the headline on today's Newsmax.com page. I've been saying for
months that Estrich's blatant ass-kissing of Sean Hannity was designed to
get her another wishy-washy-token-obsequious-liberal slot at Fox, sort of a
matching bookend to the right-wing-enabler Alan
"The Doormat" Colmes. This columnist slot at
Newsmax.com is probably a carrot reward for her butt-smooching so far. I
wonder how much further she'll have to go in order to get her coveted talk
show slot on Fox?

Geraldo,
Estrich: Limbaugh Probe 'Stinks' The article calls them
both liberals, thus their support of Rush supposedly surprising. Well, since
coming to Fox, nary a liberal word has come out of Geraldo's mouth, only
kowtowing to the Foxian ethic. As to kowtowing, Geraldo is just an amateur
compared to Estrich, who in the fine tradition of Alan
"The Doormat" Colmes, seems to take special pleasure in
decrying unfairness to poor picked upon Republicans, like Arnold and Rush.
Estrich, of course, is maneuvering for a talk show slot at Fox, as I see it,
so her ass-kissing is a fine plan for her to achieve that goal.

Fox sycophant (and I believe wannabe-talk-show-host)
Susan Estrich seems to have developed an annoying new quirk. Last night as
she spoke she kept twitching her shoulders every which way, in a very
distracting manner. If she has some disease, I apologize for criticizing
her, but if not, can't the makeover artists who every show change her
hairstyle, makeup and clothing strap down her shoulders also?
[ Thu Oct 16, 10:07:15 PM]
All of Susan Estrich's ass-kissing has paid off a bit:
she's on Arnold's transition team. Remember, nothing in recent memory has
gotten her so publicly angry as the publication date the LA Times
chose for its Grope-inator story. She indignantly fired off a critical op-ed
piece to the publication. As her ultimate goal, however, I still think she's
sucking up for a Fox talk show host slot.

Susan
Estrich Condemns 'Deplorable' L.A. Times Continuing her
apparent crusade to get a Fox News talk show, Estrich expresses more
indignation at the timing of the LA Times article than she does
over mass murder by Bush. Pathetic ass-kissing, which I hope gets her
nowhere.
[ Thu Oct 02, 10:21:09 PM]
Did you see the Nuremberg-style rally on Fox tonight,
otherwise know as the Hannity & Colmes show live from Philly? A rabidly
pro-Fox, right-wing audience roared in approval whenever a right-wing cliche
was uttered. Susan Estrich showed how low she is willing to go to land a
spot as host of a Fox News talk show: I've never seen her as mad as tonight,
and why was she mad? Because the LA Times had printed a negative story about
Arnold 5 days before the election. That's certainly what in the world
Estrich should be most mad about. And overall, how bold for the ultimate
practitioners of character assassination ("traitors,"
"appeasers," "Neville Chamberlain," "fomenting
class warfare," "un-American," "un-patriotic," etc
etc) to be so upset at the language Democrats are using to describe Bush and
others in his administration. And how sad that Alan Colmes and Estrich and
their ilk seem more enthusiastic in condeming their fellow Democrats about
using "inappropriate" language than in condemning the Bushian
policies that have killed and maimed thousands and impoverished millions.

Susan Estrich on Fox still has that goofy, teeth-bared,
face-wide grin on her face whenever she's not speaking. Who is telling her
to do that? Is she being groomed (poorly!) to host her own program? I fear
she will become another alleged "liberal" who will kowtow to the
conservatives and be trampled upon.
[ Wed Jul 30, 09:08:05 PM]
What's with Susan Estrich's face on Fox? I'm not writing
about her having had about a million makeovers since her first appearance.
That's fine, she and they want her to look her best. What I'm talking about
is her smiling. Apparently some Foxian advisor told her to smile more. So
when she's not speaking but on camera, she forces this expression on her
face that varies from a incongruous grin to a teeth-fully-exposed Joker's
smile. Why can't she just sit there with a neutral expression on her face
like everyone else? I wonder if they're grooming her to have her own talk
show. She could join Alan Colmes and become the second house liberal. She
certainly kisses Hannity's butt enough to qualify.
