It's not 1985. And I don't feel like Sally Field.
Evan Smith recently interviewed KBH for 50 minutes over the phone. They would have done a face to face, but Kay was recuperating from an unfortunate face lift accident which left one ear clearly higher than the other.
I kid, I kid...It's because she was busy in Washington trying to figure out a way to get back in the good graces of Connecticut native George W. Bush after voting, surprisingly, with the majority to expand the SCHIP program (credit where it's due... and just a reminder, JOHN CORNYN VOTED AGAINST INSURING POOR KIDS). Needless to say, when Kay went to have to dinner with the President and Pickles last week it was, well, awkward. She was also busy trying to come up with a way to take away more of your rights to fight the war on terra.
Evan was asking about Kay's run for Governor in 2010. She wimped out in 2006 because she's was afraid of the masculinity of 39% and something to do with Miracle Grow and some kind of 'tomato' plant scandal. Does that sound right? Regardless, she evidently thinks she's going to run in 2010 which isn't really all that curious since she's the only popular elected Republican in Texas and she's their only hope of holding an executive office in 2010 when she'll be what, 90? She also said she hates blogs. I can't deny the fact that she doesn't like blogs, right now, she doesn't like blogs.
The mood of the country right now is pretty frustrated. People don't like the partisanship -- there's kind of a toxic atmosphere about politics -- I think the blogs, interestingly, feed on that. The intemperate nature of blogs, and the lack of accountability, have had an overall toxic influence on our elections. These blogs are cynical and mean -- on all sides. I don't think that's good. Even if you disagree with the mainstream media, there's a sense of integrity and honesty and standards. There are journalistic standards, which blogs don't have.
Oh, Kay, people don't like being lied to, manipulated and sold down the river. They just haven't realized that's what you've been doing all this time in Washington. As for being 'intemperate' and having a 'toxic influence on our elections', just think of us as some much needed chemotherapy for the cancer republican (and, less frequently, Democratic) corruption. If you don't like what we write about what you're doing, did it ever occur to you to start doing the right thing for the people of Texas? Granted, voting for SCHIP was a good start, but come on... you've voted to basically gut our rights under the Constitution. When are you going to walk that one back?
Kay, you really shouldn't waste Evan's hair-oiling time talking about integrity and honesty, two things you've really never understood, especially in relation to blogs. Blogs are nothing if not brutally honest. It's a shame that even we at McBlogger have more integrity than you. Yes, we may be needlessly crude at times and more than little drunk but we are at least honest about what we write. It's a shame we can't say the same for someone serving in the US Senate.
Oh, and start wearing pantsuits... your legs aren't what they once were.
