Because there&#8217;s nothing for me to say. Unlike the left, I have not pointed a finger for one moment, not even in my brain, let alone my mouth, at the president.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone listening knows that if this happened under President Bush, it would be known as Katrina II, but because the press serve as a mouthpiece for this administration, there is no need for a press secretary as the LA Times and the New York Times and the other newspapers serve as a press secretary for this president. So of course there&#8217;s no blame of the president but I don&#8217;t blame the president either. I don&#8217;t blame BP. I don&#8217;t know who to blame right now. Unlike the left, I do not speak when I don&#8217;t know what to say.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My agenda is not to bash the other side. My agenda is to tell the truth first and then give my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nobody knows the truth here. It may have been negligence on the part of BP. It may have been negligence on the part of Washington authorities, but we don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel terrible. It breaks my heart. I can&#8217;t believe that ten people listen to this show to hear me emote about sad events. That&#8217;s not how I view my task. My task is to provide clarity on events. There is no clarity on this event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;James Carville got on some show and laced on to the president for not showing up. He should bring ships, a command post. The president knows as much about the BP disaster as I do. He&#8217;s the president of the country, he&#8217;s not commiserator in chief. That&#8217;s why I haven&#8217;t spoken about it. That&#8217;s why there&#8217;s such a moral gulf when it comes to acting responsibly between the right and the left.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dennis was shocked that movies now cost $13 and that secretaries are called administrative professionals.<\/p>\n<p>I remember working as a temp secretary between 1995 and 1997 and I was grateful I was called an &#8220;administrative assistant.&#8221; It just sounds better than &#8220;secretary.&#8221; More manly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On his radio show today, Dennis Prager says: &#8220;I have not spoken about this terrible oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. &#8220;Why have I not covered this?
