A better question for David Axlerod

Lonely Conservative just watched CNN's interview with Obama's long-time consigliere David Axlerod.  At a time when half of Americans ages 18-24 are unemployed, the real estate market has imploded, federal bureaucrats are taking over your health care, gasoline is heading for five bucks a gallon, and Iran is bragging about getting nuclear weapons, the only questions Anderson Cooper could come up with involved the Democrats' charge that Republicans want to take away a college student's constitutional right to taxpayer-funded contraception, or some such blather.

LC has a suggestion for the oh-so-professional journalist Mr. Cooper:

Cooper didn’t bother asking Axelrod about his ties to known communists, or those of his boss. Not that anyone expects people like Anderson Cooper, who are paid to investigate these people, to ask those sorts of questions.

Go to LC's post  for video of Cooper's journalistic malpractice.  Have any of your friends or neighbors ever heard of David Axlerod?

In a town this size

David Axelrod's Chicago neighbor Sharon Bialek

As we look into the background of Herman Cain's photogenic accuser Sharon Bialek, we learn that she once lived in the same apartment building as Obama consigliere David Axelrod.   There are an estimated 575,998 rental apartments in Chicago, but we're assured that the Bialek-Axelrod proximity is just a coincidence.

She was asked: 'One of the things is that you lived at a 505 North Lake Shore Drive apartment, right? This is the same building, it happens to be the same building David Axelrod lives in. Do you know David Axelrod? Ever have any interaction with him at all?'

The 50-year-old replied: 'I saw him in the gym. I mean -- everybody nods to each other. It is friendly building but I never had any interaction with him.'

Bialek's passing acquaintance with Axelrod reminds us of that of another pair of small town Chicago neighbors, Obama and unrepentant terrorist William Ayers.

This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.

Here in the Finger Lakes, it sometimes seems that everyone does know everyone else, but we don't remember Chicago being so close-knit that "everywhere you go, you meet someone you know:"
