The OTHER "Left Wing"
In the world of TV fantasy dramas, where democracy gets ignored so that Democrats can be depicted running the country as President, a favorite liberal series is NBC's (and in re-run, the increasingly-gay cable channel Bravo's) The West Wing, widely and rightly nicknamed "The Left Wing" for its smug, preachy far-left politics set in a mythical Democrat-controlled White House.
And now, as the Drudge Report discussed on Thursday, ABC is preparing a parallel series with liberal Democrat activist (and competitive archer) Geena Davis starring as the first female President of the United States. ABC calls this series Commander In Chief, but it could as easily be called The OTHER Left Wing.
The establishment media has been priming Americans to accept many things -- including a landing by UFOs (as ABC's Peter Jennings did with his documentary last week), and now for Hillary Clinton's 2008 run to become the first female president.
One of these possibilities is the terrifying prospect of our planet being taken over by an anti-human monster -- and the other is a first encounter with extraterrestrial life forms.
The problem ABC faces with its Commander In Chief propaganda exercise, of course, is that it is preparing Americans to vote for and accept not just Queen Hillary but also President Condoleezza Rice.
As pundits now anticipate the chess game leading up to 2008, Hillary will be positioned to easily win the Democratic presidential nomination. But within two years, Vice President Dick Cheney will resign, citing health reasons, and be replaced by our brilliant and noble Secretary of State Dr. Rice. This in 2008 will force Hillary to take fledgling Senator Barack Obama of Illinois as her running mate to slow the erosion of black votes from the Democratic Party. (And Republican lawyers will quibble this to score political points, arguing that the Constitution prohibits a President and Vice President being from the same state -- and Hillary was born and raised in Illinois.) Vice President Rice will then have a wide choice of excellent Republican running mates, Senator John McCain of Arizona among them.
My talk radio sidekick Roger Fredinburg, a populist paleo-conservative, argues as a matter of his religion that no woman should ever be President. (We can be heard worldwide M-F 6-8 pm Eastern Time, 3-5 Pacific Time via Internet audio at gcnlive.com, and callers are welcome toll-free at 800-259-9231.) In late January Roger Fredinburg gained support from fellow dogmatic believers in what he calls "The Patriarchy." As Associated Press reported, "Iran's hard-line leadership ruled out allowing women to run for President" in that Islamist theocratic, misogynistic dictatorship's elections this coming June.
I, by contrast, think it refreshing that our next Presidential election might offer American voters a choice of strong women.

Surely that ABC series about the first female US President should be called "Commander in Briefs"?
Well for the three episodes it's gonna run before it tanks like K Street and that piece of crap from Lawrence O'Donnell. (Correction: it's Lawrence O'Donnell who's a piece of crap.)
And we know it's another lefty fantasy because the first female President is going to be black and Republican.

You do know that Bush and Cheney are from the same state, right?
Moron.
How bout JEB BUSH as Condi's running mate??? The demonrats would be in a tizzy over that!
Condi could be a real sleeper. When Colin Powel assumed a political office he seemed decisive and forceful. He turned out to by anything but, unless pushing a pacifist, appeasement prone, buddy system of diplomacy on a pro active admistration can be considered forceful. Condi, although she seems a bit robotic and bureacratic when under the lights, particularly during the WTC Senate hearings last Summer, might well be another Maggie Thatcher. However, her failure to make personel changes at State within the group of people responsible for the Visa Express program that continues to fastrack US visas for young Saudi males suggest her management style is going to be little more than 'Powel lite'. We remain hopeful that this initial show of spinelessness has a solid tactical justification.
I hate to bust your pretty little balloon, but there will be a female president. It's a fait accompli. And I also am thinking that the 'pubs will find themselves going for the quinella: first black and first female in one swell foop. On the other side will be little Hillie. Yikes!! Feature 8 years of that. But, like I say, a fait accompli.
