My Partial Wish List re Famous People


(1) Nancy Pelosi should have stepped down after 2010 debacle; sorry she’s still House Democratic leader;

(2) Dick Morris should be fired by FoxNews;

(3) McCain ought to follow Lieberman’s lead and retire while he can still do it gracefully;

(4) Anderson Cooper should have focused on his daytime show which was cancelled as that was his strength;

(5) Rachel Maddow should return to old form and have on more guests including Republicans; enough with her constant chatter, the charm has worn off;

(6) Joe Scarborough should run again for Congress (and hopefully lose) and abandon his early morning show where he talks nonsense;

(7) Mitch McConnell should look himself in the mirror and realize he looks even worse smiling than he does straight-faced, and then retire;

(8) CNN should give Wolf Blitzer and John King special speech training to overcome monotone for Wolf and Gatling gun delivery for John;

(9) American public should come to realize Petraeus was no genius, that his counter-insurgency strategy leaned heavily on British strategy in Malaya in the 1950’s that some of us oldsters actually recall, and that his recent hijinks reflects dangerous hubris;

(10) Laker fans should rejoice that the team isn’t turning once again to Phil Jackson but rather moving on to something and someone new;

(11) Jerry Brown should cancel the bullet train and consider himself lucky that Proposition 30 passed;

(12) Chris Matthews, George Will, Brit Hume and Diane Sawyer ought to step aside and let younger voices move up and be heard; you’ve all faded considerably.

SORRY but this is only a partial list. There will be more later.
