To:\u00a0 Senator Inhofe<\/p>\n

From: Mitch Berg<\/p>\n

Re: Deaths of a thousand cuts.<\/p>\n

Senator Inhofe,<\/p>\n

Not that it matters, but when you say…:<\/p>\n

Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma says he doesn’t need an eye exam or a hearing aid and that he clearly remembers hearing Democratic Sens. <\/strong>Barbara Boxer<\/strong><\/a> of California and <\/strong>Hillary Clinton<\/strong><\/a> of New York talk about the need for a “legislative fix” to curb conservative talk radio.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…I believe you without reservation.\u00a0 It’s totally in character for both of them – Senator Boxer, who since Mark Dayton left office is the dumbest person in the Senate and needs <\/em>to have all opposition silence by government fiat, and Senator Clinton, at whose thought the body of Niccolo Macchiavelli cringes in horror.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But little things like this…:<\/p>\n

But Inhofe now says the conversation he overheard took place three years ago, not “the other day,” as he told KFI talk radio host John Ziegler<\/strong><\/a> on Thursday night.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…will kill you. Because while any reasonable person can understand that for most people “the other day” is a midwestern synonym for “past tense”, you’re dealing with liberals, lawyers and the media, here.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And so to them, now, it’s not about whether you heard the Senators plotting to muzzle talk radio.\u00a0 No…:<\/p>\n

Boxer early Friday said the Oklahoma senator “needs new glasses or he needs to have his hearing checked” if he thinks he heard her and Clinton having a conversation about talk radio.<\/p>\n

After Inhofe clarified his remarks, Boxer’s spokeswoman, Natalie Ravitz, added:<\/p>\n

“Perhaps he should have his memory checked too. I don’t know anyone who thinks three years ago was ‘the other day.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…now, the only issue the media will care about, to the extent that they care at all (given that talk radio is the competition) will be your “flub”.\u00a0 Never mind that both Boxer and Clinton are actively working to tie the First Amendment to a pool table and sodomize it…:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been telling this story for three years and told this story 100 times,” the Oklahoma Republican told FOXNews.com. “I have it memorized … I tell it the same way every time because it gets a very good reaction.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…because to them, and the peabrains who listen to them, the exact <\/em>timing of the story will be <\/em>the story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Remember; it’s like arguing with a moderately bright but spoiled nine-year-old; “Yesterday you said we’d have ice cream someday soon, and the other day you said “soon means like a day”, so you have to get ice cream now”.<\/p>\n

Don’t let this happen again.<\/p>\n

That is all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
