Would the Washington Post do a story on that please?

I would pay eleven gazillion.

accountability? are you fucking kidding me? wake me up when it happens.

Just saying …

And what Ann Laurie said at 6:20. Beautiful. Corporately controlled media is just another underpinning of the plutocracy. Their purpose is to help keep hegemony firmly in place.

The expression on his face while some Supercuts washout mangled his prettyboy coiffure would be completely worth

Despite his denials, rumors and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Obama (D-Ill.) is a Muslim, a “Muslim plant” in a conspiracy against America…

Dude, what the fuck? In what world can you just pass on this sort of odious libel without comment? What’s next, reporting that, despite protestations to the contrary from every sane person on earth, rumors continue to swirl on the internet that Jews use the blood of innocent Christian babies in their dark rituals? Is that the new standard? As long a some jackass on the tubes says something is true you can pass it along unchallenged, no matter how bugfuck insane it might be?

How can these people stand look at themselves in the mirror every morning?

Well, of course *Brian* doesn’t pay for his anchor-worthy haircuts, or for the services of his personal makeup artists, any more than my little lap dog pays to have his nails clipped! That serious fiscal liability falls upon the owners of the lapdogs in question — and that’s how we should be fighting back against the “reglar-guy” yippers. Williams and Matthews and all the other teebee mediapodpeople are expensively groomed and primped and pampered by their corporate masters, who’ve long since cut off their balls; their continued existence depends on their being adorable and loyal and ever-ready to make a lot of noise when “outsiders” approach the Media Village gates. There’s no shame in being a lapdog, as long as we don’t make the mistake of confusing them with anything capable of more than looking pretty and barking really really loudly on command.

Still, I don’t think McCain, Huckabee, Edwards, Obama, and even Hillary couldn’t muster an honest laugh at the shit they get for serious questions.

Oh, and Saul, just go to a Rethug site and bask in your own glory and brilliance, you freak show.

Laughter is an incredibly underrated political tool. So is humiliation.

I guess “serious” politicians can’t use it, but I say that’s just nonsense, 20th Century mindset.

It would be kickass to see any of them, on either side, and Lord knows they both get the chance, just laugh and ask, “What does that have to do with anything? Are you going for ratings or trying to let the American people choose a qualified candidate?”

Dreams indeed.

Problem is, g, I seem to remember reading about Brian Williams yucking it up with someone or other and then claiming he “probably” never paid more than $20 for a haircut. Don’t expect them to drop the “I’m just a regular guy too” shit for one second.

Oh, and happy belated birthday!

Nah- call Rachel Maddow. Deadly with a blade, is she.

Oh heavens no – it was all about the homo-nups. The swiftboating was just a bit of insurance.

Cause the fucking bastards turned it into a referendum on whether John Kerry really deserved his purple heart, or whether Teresa Heinz Kerry is a bitch.

Oh, and don’t forget the hard-hitting investigative journalism where they determined that Kerry and Teresa didn’t really enjoy having lunch at Wendy’s with the Edwardses.

Far more important than discussing Bush’s failure to capture the guy that killed 3000 or so of our citizens.

I’d really like to see SOMEONE go on CNN during the next gab-fest about John Edwards’ hair, and say, “Well, Chris, how about you, how much did you pay for that haircut? Campbell, how about you? Your forehead is suspiciously smooth – you using Bo-tox? And Brian, is that bronzer or do you go to the tanning parlor?”

Maybe Stephanie Miller will do it. I’ll email her.

Actually, nevermind. No one that competent or real is a candidate this time around. Fuck it. Even I’m considering not voting, and I have voted in every election since I turned 18. Every. Single. One.

Yeah but WTF is up with that? How the hell is it that 2004 was not a referendum on the fact that Osama bin Laden was still free?

I pretty much lost my faith in the American people on that election day. The majority is obviously just too stupid to comprehend that they elected a man even stupider than they are- and bound and determined to prove it.
