"The Full Ginsburg"

**King 5.45** · September 16th, 2009, 12:44 PM

Fans of President Obama are in for a treat this weekend. The president is going on a massive publicity blitz as he steps up his push for health care overhaul.

Obama will be interviewed Sunday on five shows -- ABC News' "This Week With George Stephanopoulos," CNN's "State of the Nation," CBS's "Face the Nation", NBC's "Meet the Press" and Univision's "Al Punto with Jorge Ramos" -- in what is called a "full Ginsburg."

/// SNIP ///

For both Ginsburg and Clinton, Fox News Sunday made the cut, and Univision didn't. Such is not the case for Obama: Democrats said the Fox News Sunday audience is largely entrenched in its opposition to the president, essentially beyond persuasion, and so submitting to an interview might not be the best use of Obama's time.

Whenever anyone goes to these lengths to sell me on something, I start to think of a wheedling, whiny TV stereotype of a small-town huckster ...

Is that the same Stephanopoulos who along with Charles Gibson knows nothing about ACORN ??

That's why they were saying he's gonna be on Letterman this Monday! First sitting President to do Letterman...the CBS announcer was sounding proud when she said that...

PS. Mr Hainey had more class than this huckster...

For those of you whose sensibilities I ruffled by offering up Mr. Haney, here's a replacement:

Apologies to those of you who are UK expats that I manage to so offend.

Looks like Fox is headed for an all-time high in ratings.

Seriously, though, this should be encouraged. The more Captain Wonderful goes on TV to sell this atrocity the more he's going to end up being hated on, and the more likely it is that this bill is going to be consigned to the commode, as it should be.
