The 10 Worst Predictions for 2008

Prognostication is by far the riskiest form of punditry. The 10 commentators and leaders on this list learned that the hard way when their confident predictions about politics, war, the economy, and even the end of humanity itself completely missed the mark.

1. “If [Hillary Clinton] gets a race against John Edwards and Barack Obama, she’s going to be the nominee. Gore is the only threat to her, then. … Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single Democratic primary. I’ll predict that right now.” —William Kristol, Fox News Sunday, Dec. 17, 2006

Weekly Standard editor and New York Times columnist William Kristol was hardly alone in thinking that the Democratic primary was Clinton’s to lose, but it takes a special kind of self-confidence to make a declaration this sweeping more than a year before the first Iowa caucus was held. After Iowa, Kristol lurched to the other extreme, declaring that Clinton would lose New Hampshire and that “There will be no Clinton Restoration.” It’s also worth pointing out that this second wildly premature prediction was made in a Times column titled, “President Mike Huckabee?” The Times is currently rumored to be looking for his replacement.

McCain remaking his image; or, with back-stabbing A-HOLES like this, who needs enemies?

Let's see, the only reason we know about Joe the ASSHOLE is because McCain mentioned his name 785 times during one of the debates. Certainly, Joe the ASSHOLE has made enough money from his 15 minutes to pay his back taxes?

Joe the Plumber: McCain 'appalled me'

Joe Wurzelbacher lashed out at former GOP presidential nominee John McCain Tuesday, the man who made Wurzelbacher famous as “Joe the Plumber.”

Wurzelbacher told conservative radio host Glenn Beck that he felt “dirty” after “being on the campaign trail and seeing some of the things that take place.”

Recalling a conversation he had with McCain about the $700 billion financial industry bailout in September, Wurzelbacher said: “When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen.”

“I asked him some pretty direct questions,” he continued. “Some of the answers you guys are gonna receive — they appalled me, absolutely. I was angry. In fact I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.”

Asked why he didn’t leave McCain’s campaign if he was “appalled” by the candidate, Wurzelbacher said, “honestly, because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more.”

While Wurzelbacher was critical of McCain during the interview, he had nothing but praise for his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. “Sarah Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said.

liberal media: finally getting it

Why the media should apologize

"...we should never have strayed into the other stuff. Like when The Washington Post recently wrote: 'Palin is under investigation by a bipartisan state legislative body... Palin had promised to cooperate with the legislative inquiry, but this week she hired a lawyer to fight to move the case to the jurisdiction of the state personnel board, which Palin appoints.'

Why go there? What trees does that plant?"

While we're on the subject, it seems tasteless to point this out:

"You know what i enjoyed the most? She took the luxury jet that was acquired by her predecessor and sold it on eBay -- made a profit," he said, introducing Palin.

Well, no. And the state sold it at a loss of half a million dollars.

Whee! I know a secret!

The official who spoke did so on condition of anonymity, preferring not to pre-empt a text-message announcement the Obama campaign promised for Saturday morning.

Correction: Graf should end: "...preferring not to be blamed for pre-empting a text-message announcement the Obama campaign promised for Saturday morning -- but obviously relishing the opportunity to in fact do so."

A Fitting End

Fungster said... K-Mad complaining about what the MSM isn't reporting? Shocking! (cont'd)

The Four-Star Elephant in the (News)room:

DEMAND the networks address the military analyst scandal and fulfill their obligation to the American people. SIGN THE PETITION: DEMAND these news outlets fulfill their obligation to the public. Then tell k-mad to SHUT THE PHOKK UP ALREADY. It is time to stand up and make your voice heard... if you can make yourself heard over k-mad's annoying, incessant WHINING. Really, what the phokk does he EXPECT? That we live in a DEMOCRACY where "journalists" serve as WATCHDOGS for the public? HA! FAT PHOKKING CHANCE K-MAD YOU PHOKKING DIMWIT! "Journalists" are just like everybody else -- they like being treated like pals around people like RUMMY and DICK "DICK" (DICK) DICK CHENEY. If you don't like it why don't you go move to RUSSIA... or AFGHANISTAN. I already signed your phokking PETITION... now I'm starting ANOTHER ONE telling you to GO AWAY.

look k-mad... look... never mind...

On April 20, The New York Times published an 8,000-word, front-page article that seemed certain to generate attention. The story, written after the paper sued to gain access to Pentagon records, detailed the close relationship between the Defense Department and some military analysts commenting on the Iraq war for television networks...

Despite these revelations, there was virtually no mainstream media follow up to The Times’ expose, according to PEJ’s News Coverage Index, which monitors approximately 1,300 stories a week from 48 different outlets. Although there was some discussion of The Times scoop in the blogosphere, the Index found only two related stories in the week of April 21-27, both of them in the April 24 PBS NewsHour broadcast. In the cable news universe, where many of these analysts worked, silence greeted the story.

By way of comparison, the Texas polygamy case garnered 50 stories and General Petraeus’ promotion to head of Central Command captured 16. Even Rupert Murdoch’s latest newspaper maneuvering received twice as much attention (4 stories). But the analyst story did generate more attention than news that Senator Larry Craig’s legal fees in his airport bathroom bust now exceeded $400,000 (1 story).
