Rightnetwork Launches

A Science Experiment

Question: What do you get when you cross Kelsey Grammer, jungle animals, politics and a smooth jazz soundtrack?

Answer: A ridiculous video promoting the launch of Rightnetwork.
TV HUNTER



Launched yesterday, it's way early to be predicting how successful Rightnetwork will be.  However, I've found a reliable bellwether in these matters is to look at the asshat left response as a gauge to the perceived threat.   Example: Sarah Palin.  Her surprise selection as McCain's running mate two years ago ='d  mass left-tard hysteria. Within days McCain took his first lead in some polls, and the entire television news and entertainment universe was devoted to trashing her.  "Unqualified hick hack" ; "no experience" ; "poor speaker without a teleprompter"; "no birth certificate ," blah, blah, blah.  Between SNL skits however, the left found it necessary to trigger "ruin the economies of every nation on Earth," a.k.a.  Plan B From Outer Space in order to save Obama's ass.    It is then a scientific certainty that threat level is directly proportional to the level of smug, condescending, and ad hominem insults forthcoming. Segue TV HUNTER

"Today, we step forward get the party started … because that's how we roll, like a powerful elephant and a nimble gazelle combo -- a gazelephant. We step forward like a gazelephant," Grammer said. 

The whole "gazelephant" thing makes it hard to take Rightnetwork seriously as a substantive entrant into the political discourse. Also, a man of Grammer's age should not use the phrase "that's how we roll." Ever.

Rightnetwork's TV offerings include "Running," a series that profiles first-time political candidates, and "Moving Numbers," a sitcom about a political campaign. Representative examples of Rightnetwork's online content include a blog post titled [OMFG!] "Thank God for Market Capitalism" and an essay encouraging readers to take pride in the superiority of American culture [you bastids!].

However, based on Grammer's embarrassing, awkward launch presentation, I doubt any of Rightnetwork's competitors are shaking in their boots.
Finally, Hunter Walker's most precious comment. "If Rightnetwork manages to succeed, it's the execs at conservative cable network Fox News who would be feeling the pain."  OMG, I forgot all about the quota.
