Mark Davis, Certified Idiot

No, I am not certifing Mark Davis as an idiot because he can't spell his own name. ("Marc" is clearly the correct spelling.)


Hackr Boy breaknig in): "Skip, where do you get off suggesting that "Marc" is the conventional spelling, and "Mark" the weird spelling. I seem to recall that the Biblical "Mark" is spelled that way."


Skip: Well, Hacker Boy is probably right But my BROTHER spells his name 'Marc'. Blood is thicker than water. I am willing to slam a conservative like Mark Davis, who I do NOT consider a brother, but I am unwilling to slam my own brotehr and mother (who named him, obviously not that familiar with the Bible, although she chides me for being an agnostic)."


Mark Davis (digression over) is the guest host today of the rush Limbaugh program. He is from Texas. Alll not good enough. He is still a certified idiot. You will remember that this blog correctly labeled Chris Wallace (Fox News) as a PARTISAN POLITICAL HACK (meaning a leftist, mainstream media partisan political hack). You may have though--fool that yoiu are--that I could never be PROVEN right on this. After all, Wallace is on Fox. How far does he DARE go in spouting the mainstream media/Keith Olbermann/Rachel maddow/Wolf Blitzer party line?


Well, Chris Wallace lost it on Sunday, and made it crystal clear who he is. He asked Michele Bachmann this question: "Are you a flake?" No, I smply could not make this up. Michele Bachmann said she was "insulted". Good fr her. I woud probably have haulte doff an decked him. IMAGINE Chris Wllace asking Barack Obama that because Obama once said his health care bill was going to save small businesses "3,000%" on their health care insurance premiums. Even when Obama was a mere candidate, Wallace woud NEVER have asked Obama, or other Democrats: "Are you really qualified to be President?" Yes, Wllace asked that about Sarah Palin. This is not only a bvery good reason not to watch Wallace, but it is a very good reason not to have any loyalty to Fox News (more modern "journalists" than compoetent "journalists'). Since at least one of myu own articles has previously--last fal--labeled Wallace, correctly as a partisan political hack, you see how this latest Wallace meltdown has PROVEN me correct.


What does this have to do with Mark Davis? Well, Mark Davis was jumping all over MICHELE BACHMANN. No, I could never make this up. He was jumping all over Michele Bachmann for "not accepting Wallace's apology and moving on". Even before that, Davis prettry much defended Wallace.


Message to Mark Davis: If you are a conservative, and criticize Michele Bachmann for not accepting an apology, rather than partisan hack Chris Wallace for being part of the mainstream media, pack, then you are NOT MY KIND OF CONSERVATIVE. I don't even like Newt Gingrich (politically), and have been willing to defend him from unfair attacks. You should examine your soul, mMakr, change our first name, and see if you can look at things clearly again.


No. This is NOT a minor thing. First, Michele Bachmann is dong conservative a VAVOR by exposing Chris Wallace for who and what he is. Second (youi IDIOT, Mark Davis), NO "jounalist" , or selfl-respecting person, should be ASKING Michele Bachmann whether she is "accepting" Chris Wallace's aopology. Who in the HELL is Chris Wallace that Michele Bachmann should dignify him with that kind of importance. And this whole business of "apologies", and "accepting apologies", and making a big deal out of that (a lbigger deal than the CRIME for which apology is being made) illustrates why everyone should hold the mainstrream media in absolute CONTTEMPT. If I were Michele Bachman, that is what I would be saying in REFUSING TO TALK ABOUT CHRIS WALLACE. I would say that I am focusing on jobs, since President Obama is clearly not willing to do it, and that I am not willing to discuss STUPID media "controversies". They can discuss it among themselves. As far a I (Bachmann) am conerned, it is a minor thing in the past. If you media people lcannot worry about more important things then this, then noboobdy should pay any attention to you. (Yes, getting abck in my own skin, it is ALREADY clear to most people that they should pay NO attention to media peoople, including many of those on Fox News).


Yes, Mark Davis has bought into this mainstream media narrative, and that makes him STUPID. Or is he? Doe he have an gaenda? Maybe.


The other stupid thing Mark Davis did on today's Rush Limbaugh program wa do substantial propaganda on behalf of Rick Perry. Now there is a good chance Perry (MY governor for ten years) will annnounce his candidacy for President of the United States in the nesxt month or so. Davis went out of his way to dismiss CONSERVATIVE criticism (in Texas) of Rick Perry. As I have previouisly informed you, Richk Perry is NOT a "principled conservative". He is much more like George W. Bush, and was, in fact, Bush's lieutenant governor. If you live in Texas, and think otherwise, then you are an idiot for that aone. As I have said, Rick Perry MAY turn into an ACCEPTABLE Presidential nominee. But if you regard him as a "principled conservative", you will be disappointed.


But is Mark Davis a Rick Perry supporter (as a matter of state pride or personal interest)? Maybe so. In that capacity, Davis has an incentive to RUN DOWN Michele Bachmann. If Perry runs, he will be fighting mainly Michele Bachmann for the conservative wing of the Republican Party. Perry is never going to challenge Romeny for the "let's pick a safe winner", pragmatic wing of the Republican Party, even though I consider Romney and Perry as not being very different.


Forget motivation. That is mainlyl cable TV specualtion of the kind I rightly condemn. Let us just say that Mark Davis is an idiot, and leave it at that. Maybe Rush will do better next time in his choice of guest hosts. The other Marc, who spells lhis name correctly, is much better.
