Craig's Grist: POTUS' Coaching Failure Brother-in-Law Given ESPN Welfare
In politics, "elections have consequences" unless, of course, your side doesn't win as more foreign workers are legalized than jobs created. If you don't win in sports (occasionally at least 2/3 of the time), it eventually doesn't matter how consequential an elected-official might be; including the proverbial most powerful man in the world. You can just be like aging leftist leader Nanny Pathetic, who stretches the pass-it-now-read-it-later truth even more than her "Petty Woman" West face, and lie to "stupid" public about not knowing ObummerCare con-artist insult-ant Jonathan Gruber. Face the facts: Dimocrats don't win through blockbuster ethical arguments; they bust through changing ethnic percentage of voting bloc.
At first glance, a new TV commentator hiring resembles Chelsea Clinton charity when she was given a journalistic role at a major network. Let's just hope Barry-brother-in-law Craig Robinson is a better ESPN analyst than he was coach in a power league after the network contributed to record-setting levels of welfare under pen-and-phone President Barack Obama. Devoid of any media credentials, Chelsea received a political favor via an annual salary of $600,000 when she joined NBC News as a "special correspondent" (in excess of $25,000 for each minute displaying her hard-working brilliance on-air to make certain she wasn't dead-broke after leaving the White House and academic pursuits before making Shrillary Rotten a grandma). It isn't brain surgery, but the Dimocrap Dominatrix wearing the pants suits in her family doesn't believe jobs are created by businesses, so they must be given; not earned.
Robinson, beseeching the country for seven-footers regarding his Pacific-12 Conference welfare, was part of the Democratic Convention in Charlotte two years ago helping introduce sister Michelle Obama. Amid questioning whether about "2/3" of the party was shamed into putting God back into its platform, a "Fluke" inquiry lingered wondering if Robinson got a vacation from significant media criticism because he is brother-in-law of paternalistic POTUS pondering contrived definitions of "workplace violence" and marriage while turning the U.S. into a welfare nation, appointing a political operative with zero medical/health care expertise as Ebola Czar, penning secret "dove" letters to Iran's Ayatollah and serving unilaterally as lame-duck Extra-Constitutional bell hop for millions of illegal aliens.
The wily White House, adverse to an alleged discriminatory travel ban involving West Africa, wants U.S. military to combat Ebola in that region of the world on only four hours of training. But didn't demented Dems with perhaps 2/3 of a brain such as Ron Klain exhibit some sort of bias disease traveling to Florida to work hard for four weeks to ban overseas military ballots in 2000 recount standoff?
Continuing to take Beaver Nation in the wrong direction although Robinson "didn't create that," the sick circumstances at Oregon State failed to change last season and he lost his job after failing to secure a presidential pardon as the Drone Ranger was bogged down religiously reading 2/3 of his intelligence briefings and prepping 2/3 of NCAA playoff brackets for ESPN. The Beavers bombed in their season opener against visiting Coppin State, the second HBCU to win in Corvallis in four years, and things didn't improve much from there comparable to the Oval Office tracking terrorists (no national or family security). The golfer-in-chief with more than 200 rounds under his mom-jeans belt, fond of comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln but too busy to attend the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, unilaterally couldn't give Robinson a mulligan as he was apparently too busy assembling an excuse for not saying "under God" while reciting a portion of the famous speech for historian Ken Burns.
At least Oregon State is sufficiently God-fearing to know not to put Seattle back on its schedule after losing at home to the Reclassifying DI school, 99-48, in 2009-10. That regrettable result (matching the most-lopsided setback in OSU history) reminiscent of Reagan mauling Mondale has to qualify as the most embarrassing clunker by a power league member thus far this century. It was perhaps as appalling as Central Planning's health care rollout debacle - the signature legislation for the selfie-taking "Audacity of Hype" - or his Marvin Gaye routine "I (Only) Heard It Through the Grapevine" pleading of ignorance regarding a poison-pen and sell-phone series of scandals and shortcomings. After shaking down the health-care industry for money rather than closely monitor website development, his sniveling former HHS secretary said during Congressional testimony: "Don't do this to me!" Meanwhile, about "2/3" of the non-Medicad populace says: "Don't do this to us!"
Right-thinking Americans don't like Duncan-like liars, Progressive Jihad, the White House "health-care apology" or ISIS-containing ineptitude and DC can keep it, period! Let me be more-than-2/3-of-the-way clear about the ideology as defenseless as the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, ill-conceived as shaking hands with/bowing down to dictators and insidious as intimidating witnesses of the Libyan lynching! But chill out, if your identity is pilfered by a navigator felon/former ACORN staffer, no one will be more upset than Mr. Teleprompter's neighborhood. In order to show compassion and not run the race-baiting risk of offending a grandstanding progressive, it's time to give the Obowwow apologists and lame-stream media enablers a hug like you would your little puppy and then let them go back to supporting sucking on at least 2/3 of the government nanny's boob. After the mid-term elections, at least give delusional Dimocrats free instruction on how to do "2/3" of "the wave."
There is no need to give them the old deflection-and-distraction razzle dazzle by being Clintonesque and parcing "is is" words amid the chronic fabrication. Few in the establishment media acknowledged it until the bitter end, but even a sports intern could realize no evidence existed from an unimpeachable source that Robinson could end the Beavers' bump-in-the-road streak of 32 consecutive campaigns winless in the NCAA playoffs. At least Robinson exhibited more character than other members of his family circle by not chronically immersing himself in the Bush-league ploy of blaming his predecessor (Jay John) for six lackluster OSU years. He also didn't turn for consolation and consultation to tax cheat Al "Not So" Sharpton after a significant setback.
Robinson's voice may resemble Homer Simpson but he matches the postseason expertise of ESPN analysts Dan Dakich and Tim Welsh - both never posted an NCAA Tournament win as a Division I bench boss. His credentials don't quite measure up to ESPN experts Fran Fraschilla, Dino Gaudio, Seth Greenberg and Dick Vitale - each of whom has a lone NCAA playoff triumph in a collective 45 years of DI head coaching. But at least Robinson doesn't have a top-shelf job at Target.
Hoping cynical comments aren't monitored in an IRS targeting binder assembled by Iranian-born Oval Office lackey Valerie Jarrett, let's move to a place where Robinson's commentary doesn't follow in his sister's organic-garden footsteps (a/k/a "dancing with turnip") by lecturing college hoopsters on what at least 2/3 of them should eat for lunch. But the good news is, as long as Robinson maintains a pulse, there is absolutely no way he already isn't a more competent media member than the former First Daughter.
