A Note From Monica

To all of my devoted and wonderful radio listeners:

You may have been wondering where I've been on the radio over the past few days. While doing the weekday broadcast has been an absolute labor of love, I've recently been overwhelmed by some very special opportunities which I'll be pursuing. But rest assured that you will still be able to get your "Monica Mania Fix:" I'll be continuing the weekend radio program. You can hear it streamed live every Saturday from noon to 3pm ET right here at www.MonicaMemo.com--- or you can listen on my flagship station, 77 WABC in New York (www.WABCRadio.com) from 1pm to 4pm ET. The show is also heard on over 120 stations nationwide. I'll still be on the radio; I just had to change my schedule a bit. Thank you so much for listening during the week and making the show into such a success. I deeply appreciate all of your incredibly loyal support and knowing that you're out there, cheering me on. I'll see you every Wednesday on "The O'Reilly Factor," every weekend on "The McLaughlin Group," every Wednesday in "The Washington Times," and every weekend on the radio---and perhaps elsewhere too. Stay tuned to the website for further announcements. Keep the faith.

You go, Princess. Good luck. As always.

Meanwhile,as posted (to a degree) at the Hannity Forum....

WHEN REPUBLICANS GO 'BIRTHER'

HF//////I've been thinking along those lines too. The Republicans have been terrified of being called, not just "birthers" but "racist birthers." Cowardly? Well, maybe that's putting it too harshly. They're just politicians. A pol can't go up against another pol who's got messiah-like numbers in the polls, especially if he's going to question said messiah's existential right to squat in the White House. And who wants distractions like ghettos burning, Constitutional chaos, what to do with Usurper-in-Chief etc etc?

That still begs the question: How far below 50% popularity will the "long-legged macdaddy" (Harlem Pastor Manning's fabulous phrase) have to go before Fox News does the Liberal Nightmare? That is, When will Fox do its special on dual citizenship, the Natural Born Citizen Constitutional requirement for POTUS, mixed loyalties, Barry Soetoro's citizenship relationship with four different countries, the obvious reason he pronounces 'Pakistan,' as 'POCKisTAHN' and all that? And will slick Barry's popularity have worn off to the extent that at least one high-profile Republican will dare show up for this landmark discussion at Fox (which of course will draw huge ratings, Barry's million-dollar legal SWAT team unable to stop it, even with a frenzied Writ of Mandamus or emergency stay decree?)

[Truther]

The squatter in the White House may be moving out. It is becoming increasingly clear that he suborned others in his campaign to hide his birth illegitimacy, and that to them, it did not matter. the remedy is clear : he should be removed, and then, would John McCain be the rightful office holder? Perhaps they could call back most of the crap sandwich?

We are a nation of laws. We can look up to Arnold Schwarzenegger for requesting a change in the law - not breaking it and claiming squatter's rights. The entry through the backdoor is wrong : against our constitution, if that matters.
-----
Although Republicans have a mantra of opposing anything that the AMA opposes, I believe we can give the Tea Party people some credit for stopping bad legislation regarding health care. I am all for reform, but this Congress and the Usurper, would clearly only add to our expenses without reforming anything. Since Medicare Part D we have incurred 13 trillion dollars in medical expenses way beyond what we can afford.

There should be no more spending by Congress without reform, first and foremost.

[Truther]

Someone should ask Sotomayor - can a man who does not qualify for president according to the Constitution, be qualified to appoint a Supreme court nominee?

Legislation too large to read

Collating chunks from Lobbyists into a bill- and approving this, is he ultimate
corruption of the legislative process. It is a sign that they are involved into too
many disparate interests to make sense of it all. The scope of government is too large -
just like the banks. There is no control and ability to shape the process to give
it a sensible direction.

The legislative process should be top down. They should seek input and then draft the
legislation themselves. The size should be small enough and structured to be readable.
They should create and direct, not vested interests and influence groups.

An Ideologue in a Hurry
When the work product is indefensible, deliberation is dangerous.

By Rich Lowry

When Barack Obama pilfered Martin Luther King Jr.’s line about the “fierce urgency of now,” he wasn’t kidding. The line has come to define his presidency. His legislative strategy moves in two gears — heedlessly fast and recklessly faster.

As with the stimulus package, Obama’s health-care plan depends on speed. More important than any given provision, more important than any principle, more important than sound legislating is the urgent imperative to Do It Now.

Do it now, before anyone can grasp what exactly it is that Congress is passing. Do it now, before the overpromising and the dishonest justifications can be exposed. Do it now, before Obama’s poll numbers return to Earth and make it impossible to slam through ramshackle government programs concocted on the run. Do it now, because simply growing government is more important than the practicalities of any new program.

The stimulus partly drives the rush on health care. The program was so ill-considered and so festooned with irrelevant liberal priorities as the price of hustling it through Congress that it becomes more of a drag for Obama every day. So health care has to be rushed through before Obama pays the full price for the failure of his previous rush job. Haste — and waste — makes for more haste.

Obama cultivated an image of cool during the campaign. Unrattled. Deliberate. Cerebral to a fault. Who knew he’d be in a panic to remake one-sixth of the economy by the first week of August of his first year in office?

Normally, the larger and more complicated a bill is, the longer Congress takes to consider it. With the stimulus and cap-and-trade, Obama and the Democrats upended this rule of thumb by passing byzantine, 1,000-page bills that no one had the time to read. When the work product is indefensible, deliberation is dangerous.

There’s a touch of the guilty conscience about Obama’s terrible rush. As if he knows he was elected as a moderate-sounding deficit hawk last year, and if he’s going to pass an ambitious left-wing program, he must do it before the opposition builds.

Why else the mad dash? Obama noted in an interview with ABC News the other day that his health program won’t be phased in until 2013. That’s four years from now. The problem that Obama describes of rising health-care costs bankrupting the government is also a long-term issue, one that needn’t be addressed in pell-mell fashion over the next two weeks.

But the longer Obama’s health-care program marinates in the sun, the worse it smells. Obama’s signature line that anyone who likes his current coverage gets to keep it has been shown to be untrue in recent weeks. His rationale of passing a $1 trillion program to reduce costs is undermined every time the Congressional Budget Office analyzes a real Democratic proposal. No wonder Obama wants to close down the debate before his rating on health care — down to 49 percent in the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll — drops any farther.

Ramming through legislation without any assurance that it will work doesn’t seem pragmatic or farsighted. But for Obama’s purposes, it is. His goal is nothing short of an ideological reorientation of American government. Putting in place the structures to achieve this change in the power and role of government is more important than how precisely it is accomplished.

The stimulus might not do much to stimulate the economy during the recession, but its massive spending creates a new baseline for all future spending. The cap-and-trade bill might not reduce carbon emissions during the next decade, but it creates a mechanism for exerting government control over a huge swath of the economy. Obamacare might not work as advertised, but it will tip more people into government care and create the predicate for rationing and price controls.

Barack Obama is an ideologue in a hurry. He wants to put American government on a radically different path. And he wants to Do It Now.

Pretty amazing what liberals/progressives pass off as journalism, isn't it? This is highly illustrative of the ineptness of the liberal/progressive mind...

[xbjllb]

Constitutional lawyers have been all over this many times before, but I'm afraid Obama being proved a fraud because of not meeting the birth requirement would not automatically install John McCain and Sarah Palin in the White House.

There are two basic solutions:

1. The entire election is declared invalid and HELD AGAIN in 2010 with the Congressional midterms. Really the only fair solution to all involved, including the American People who were defrauded by BHO and the BHO wing of the DNC (and let's face it, the CIA who begat him).

2. The GOP cuts a deal with the DNC to amend the constitutional requirement for a President to be native-born, and to AVOID a Constitutional Crisis, MAKE IT RETROACTIVE; thereby absolutely insuring Arnold Scwarchenegger the nomination and victory in 2012.

The GOP, if it is smart, will push for solution 2, unless they want Hillary Clinton as President.

But there will be quite a battle, and the GOP might not have enough votes to win.

McLaughlin AND Rush Limbaugh could still be freakishly correct in their predictions after all; Hillary Clinton could STILL become the legitimate 44th President of the United States.

But it will be a very close election against McCain/Palin.

All that stuff about BHO being declared a traitor is just silly; he'll of course lose his Senate seat and anything that requires the Constitutional requirement, and the MSM will cut him a pass and accept the lie that "he didn't know", but here's where it gets really interesting:

He STILL could serve as Hillary's Secretary of State, but merely OUT OF LINE OF SUCCESSION for the Presidency. Thereby keeping all the Obama-nuts on board.

And that's how it would play out in order for the Democrats to grand slam Hillary into the White House in 2010 for a two-year term to be re-fought again in 2012 to put everything back on schedule.

LIBMAN ALERT

Lou Dobbs is now a member of the "loony fringe." See link posted by mjfell. In fact ol' Lou is a much bigger birther than I am. Wait. It gets worse. Lou suddenly realizes that BamBam is not only hiding his long-form birth certificate, but also a whole slew of other records that will tell us who aka Barry Soetoro is, like school, medical etc etc. Lou, unlike the Lamestream Obamasucklings, suddenly gets it. Can Team BamBam continue to scam most of the people all of the time?

Bring it on? "Loony" Lou is doing exactly that.

That is well beyond far-fetched for a variety of reasons.

The only constitutional, practical and reasonable solution in the event Obama is found to be ineligible (which is by no means an assured thing regardless of where he was born) would be to remove him by impeachment. Becoming president through deliberate and extensive deception along with conspiracy, etc., surely meets the "high crimes and misdemeanors" standard.

That would of course make Joe Biden president. Now think about it! That would probably be the best result of all for conservatives and Republicans.

None of that is going to happen, but it's a pleasant fantasy anyway.

[esperanza4]

Monica - we will miss you on the daily show. But,
look forward to continued weekend show. It's hard to
watch McLaughlin, with the sound off for everyone else
but you! Good luck in all your ventures on tv, in print, and on radio. Podcasts....keep those going.

May I suggest a Best Of CD or podcast complilation for
the holidays? I think it would be fun.

"None of that is going to happen" while Professor Barry's popularity is above 29%. Below 25%, Fox News begins, on a regular schedule, THE BIRTHER HOUR. And if it's a choice between letting the Affirmative Action POTUS turn the USA into the United Socialist States of America or turning 'birther,' the Republicans will courageously turn 'birther,'---provided that Professor Barry's poll numbers have sunk to single digits.

[SteveOk]

I am sad to hear you are not going to be on the radio daily, but I hope the new opportunities still allow you to be our conservative warrior princess across America. You are one of the few voices of conservative truth against a sea of leftwing blather spewed from the lamesteam media every day.

As has been noted adequately elsewhere, that has been happening for some time now. It's a little late to start worrying about it now.

> or

What is there in the last decade or so of Republican behavior that suggests to you they're ever going to "courageously" do ANYTHING? They have demonstrated their spinelessness again and again. Look at Lindsey Graham for a nice example of this, but there are plenty of others. U.S. socialism is a fait accompli, and the leftists have even begun to stop bothering to pretend otherwise. See the Feb. 7 Newsweek cover, blaring in bold caps WE ARE ALL SOCIALISTS NOW. Arianna Staphylococcus Huffington has been crowing about it too: socialism is here, it ain't going away, embrace it and learn to love it.

Obama's poll numbers can drop into the seventh cellar of hell, and the Republicans still won't do $#!+.

There are a few who would, Ron Paul and some others, but no one is paying any attention to them.

Hi Monica,

How can I follow you on Twitter?

[Gobi-Wan]

Ms. Crowley...you asked an interesting question on "The Factor" last night regarding some women's "mysogeny" towards other women. I may have at least part of the answer. I once had a discussion with Rush Limbaugh about women in T.V. "journalism", in which I asserted that a majority of women in the news media would not have their jobs if not for their physical attractiveness. My comments were not meant to suggest that these women are not qualified-they meant to state that it does not matter if they are qualified or not, they would not be on T.V. without some level of "sex appeal". Two reasons: there is no shortage of women willing to "sell themselves" in various ways for money, and there is also no shortage of corporate execs (often men) that are willing to "pimp" them for the same reason. Surely you must notice that the same standard of beauty is not applied to men in the profession. (Think "The Pitt Factor" instead of O'Reilly) You must also have noticed that in recent decades, looks have become much more important in our society and culture-with a greater "value" of different sorts attached. All women are not born with the same degree of physical beauty, and many of the ones who were not understandably resent those women who (consciously or not) "trade on their looks" as Ms. Brennan said. These women see attractive women benefiting since birth in many aspects of life, which makes competing with them difficult even at an early age.. Historically, women have been much more hostile in their attitudes towards prostitutes (or for women they perceive as being no different) than men for social, familial and even biological factors. I hope this helps. I tried to put it in simple, non-clinical terms-otherwise the average lay person's eyes glaze over and a discussion about an aspect of human sexuality can become a snoozer. If I may suggest-it might be "good radio" (T.V.?) for you to explore this issue further with one of those "experts-in-the field". I sincerely believe that an extended and in-depth discussion of this issue would greatly benefit many women in America-and, who knows-maybe some men too.

P.S. I don't mean to pick on Fox-it's the only news network worth watching, but they seem to be the worst offenders. I know that all the others do the same thing (and these are the people that once called ME a pimp), but sometimes I feel that Murdoch & Ailes (God bless them) should at least accessorize properly for their work-perhaps a large gold medallion and a wide-brimmed hat with a feather sticking out of it? Say hello to Mr. America (Alan Colmes) for me.

[Dissentery]

I was wondering where you went!!

is the 1pm to 4pm show on WABC live? like, will hour 1 on WABC coincide with hour 2 on Streaming with the only the first hour replayed? or will the WABC broadcast be delayed by one hour?

I like getting live broadcasts on radio!! something special about that, having a chance to call-in
