Eventually, all moonbats go wacko (with video!).

Who knew Marshall Mathers was a whipped boy?

EMINEM’s grandmother BETTY KRESIN has blasted the rapper for remarrying his ex-wife KIMBERLY yesterday (14JAN06) – insisting his spouse has “brainwashed” him.

Kresin boycotted the ceremony in Michigan and is enraged the superstar, real name MARSHALL MATHERS III, has taken back his “nasty” former love.

She fumes, “Boy, has he made a big mistake. No pre-nup or nothing. “She’ll take everything and leave. Kim is a nasty, mean woman. “We’ve never been anything but nice to her but she’s turned Marshall against us. I think she’s very controlling.”

Mathers originally wed Kim in 1999, but filed for divorce just 14 months later.

Slim Shady…riiiiight.

He’s a broadcasting legend; an old senile moonbat broadcasting legend.

Former CBS anchor Walter Cronkite, whose 1968 conclusion that the Vietnam War was unwinnable keenly influenced public opinion then, said Sunday he’d say the same thing today about Iraq.

“It’s my belief that we should get out now,” Cronkite said in a meeting with reporters.

Now 89, the television journalist once known as “the most trusted man in America” has been off the “CBS Evening News” for nearly a quarter- century. He’s still a CBS News employee, although he does little for them.

Cronkite said one of his proudest moments came at the end of a 1968 documentary he made following a visit to Vietnam during the Tet offensive. Urged by his boss to briefly set aside his objectivity to give his view of the situation, Cronkite said the war was unwinnable and that the U.S. should exit.

Then-President Lyndon Johnson reportedly told a White House aide after that, “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.”

The best time to have made a similar statement about Iraq came after Hurricane Katrina, he said.

“We had an opportunity to say to the world and Iraqis after the hurricane disaster that Mother Nature has not treated us well and we find ourselves missing the amount of money it takes to help these poor people out of their homeless situation and rebuild some of our most important cities in the United States,” he said. “Therefore, we are going to have to bring our troops home.”

Iraqis should have been told that “our hearts are with you” and that the United States would do all it could to rebuild their country, he said.

“I think we could have been able to retire with honor,” he said. “In fact, I think we can retire with honor anyway.”

Cronkite has spoken out against the Iraq war in the past, saying in 2004 that Americans weren’t any safer because of the invasion.

Cronkite, who is hard of hearing and walks haltingly, jokingly said that “I’m standing by if they want me” to anchor the “CBS Evening News.” CBS is still searching for a permanent successor to Dan Rather, who replaced Cronkite in March 1981.

“Twenty-four hours after I told CBS News that I was stepping down at my 65th birthday I was already regretting it and I’ve regretted it every day since,” he said. “It’s too good a job for me to have given it up the way that I did.”

Man, talk about navel gazing. These types are all the same. In a strange way, over time they believe they take on some level of deification. Their media underlings worship the very ground they walk on. Then, like Walt, they reach their upper eighties and believe they’re still relevant. How sad.

And how does one do the “DiFi”? Well, it can be done in a variety of ways. But here’s just one example, as it relates to the upcoming vote to confirm Judge Sam Alito.

“Let’s not filibuster, there’s no reason he shouldn’t be on the court, BUT I am not going to vote for him.”

Done as only Diane can.

A Democrat who plans to vote against Samuel Alito sided on Sunday with a Republican colleague on the Senate Judiciary Committee in cautioning against a filibuster of the Supreme Court nominee. “I do not see a likelihood of a filibuster,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif. “This might be a man I disagree with, but it doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be on the court.” She said she will not vote to confirm the appeals court judge, based on his conservative record. But she acknowledged that nothing emerged during last week’s hearings to justify any organized action by Democrats to stall the nomination.

Way to weasel Diane. I expect your colleagues to follow suit.
