Shorter Bozo Brentell, Newsblusterers:
The Failed Couric Experiment

  • The reason that Katie Couric will soon be gone is because she criticized Rush Limbaugh for mocking Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson Disease.

‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

Speaking of dogs, I could watch this over and over. In fact, I have.

 
 

Some copypasta that’s worth the read, & points out what an ignorant ninny Bozell is.

So her failure to lift the CBS Evening News from the cellar is not really her failure. The evening news programs at the three commercial broadcast networks have lost 55.5 percent of their audience since 1980, reports the Project for Excellence in Journalism—it’s very hard to win market share when the market is disappearing. Also, CBS News was easily the weakest of the three networks when she took the chair in September 2006, and its evening offering had long been last in the ratings.

Couric’s great misfortune was to become a broadcast network news anchor just as we were entering the post-anchor period. By post-anchor I don’t mean that you could plop just any Arnold Zenker (article purchase required) into the studio and squeeze a good performance out of him. But the job and the audience aren’t what they were when John Chancellor, Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw, and even Peter Jennings walked the earth. The explosion of news choices on cable and the Web have made the evening news an anachronism enjoyed mostly by an audience of older and less highly educated viewers, according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism. If there is little prestige, honor, and future being the anchor of the No. 1 show chasing an audience that is becoming smaller, older, and is less-educated, imagine how the No. 3 anchor must have felt.

Note the bold: The Newsbusters audience.

 
 

Link if you give a shit, which I obviously didn’t.

 
 

I didn’t leave the door open.

It is refreshing that Americans today reject the notion that we should bow before the network TV anchormen as the most hallowed of political actors, let alone “priests of journalism

Except when they work at Fox.

Can’t be. Doesn’t say anything about senile and delusional.

 
 

Wait…there’s a wingnut explanation of Couric’s “failure” that doesn’t involve genitalia?

 
 

Let me add: I can’t stand her. But she’s no worse than the other people on TV pretending to be reporters.

 
 

“The CBS Evening News with Glenn Beck.”

Just when they thought their ratings could not go any lower…

 
 


Couric was averaging only 6.4 million total viewers…That was way behind NBC at 9.8 million and ABC at 8.65 million.

it is exactly this type of astute analysis that keeps bozo-el in a job…

I’d just like to put in a little vote for the banishment of Dr. Copypasta. There’s no attempt at anything other than being an asshole, and not in the fun way.

 
 

OT, but:

“An American occupation would not last years, on the model of a MacArthur regency in Japan. Instead, the U.S. would quickly — say, after less than a year — hand control of the country over to a U.N. protectorate, with some Arab input to soothe feelings and a non-American — some anodyne European, such as a Swede — running the show. He would in effect act as Iraqi dictator, but without the brace of pistols. After five years or so, as Iraq’s public institutions were firmed up, the baton could be passed to an Iraqi government that one would hope would be thoroughly democratic — but that would at a minimum be pro-Western and capitalist. The entire effort would represent a return to an enlightened paternalism toward the Third World, premised on the idea that the Arabs have failed miserably at self-government and need to start anew.”

Richard Lowry, 2001

I just came across this quote and found it intriguing. A quick Google search brings up barely any results for it. Strange how it’s been ignored all these years.

Holy. Fuck.

Yeah, rap is one of those things the fuckhead Right has the love-hate thing going with, innit. Like, they believe it’s the product of inferior people but can’t deny that it’s cool even in their terms (i.e. it makes a lot of money) so they try to emulate it anyway. And suck at it, because they’re bad at everything.

It’s like how Nobel prizes are a bunch of liberal trash to them but they still want somebody on their team to get one so, so bad.

 
 


Journalists hailed Couric for her pounding on Sarah Palin in 2008. As Folkenflik at NPR put it, she “earned praise” for how “her steady questioning style allowed Palin to reveal herself as uncertain, at times, of her bearing on policy issues,” which earned Couric “a bevy of awards.” But others saw it differently. She never, ever treated a Democrat this way.

Just days before, she hailed Joe Biden on the campaign trail. “He’s the close-talking, free-wheeling, ice-cream eating Democratic nominee for Vice President.” His weakness for gaffes became a strength. “You say what’s on your mind and I think people appreciate that,” she told Biden. “Have you found that you have to be uber-careful and disciplined in terms of being out on the campaign trail?”

oh, her *pounding* of sarah palin? i bet brent has the greta vansustern love-fest on a continuous loop…

The fact is, the reason most Nobel Prizes go to liberals and socialists is because of bias. Sweden is a socialist awful place.

Today’s away message from a conservative acquaintance:

“If this was a Lady Gaga song, the relationship between the youth vote and Barack Obama would be ‘Bad Romance.'”
– Tim Pawlenty

Yikes. Stick to Trace Adkins, Tim. A hipster you ain’t.

 
 

BTWs, “the youth vote” itself is another one of those things that ranks really, really high on their love/hate-ometer.

 
 

The fact is, the youth should not be allowed to vote until they understand the Consitution. And not the fake, made up Liberal one. The real one the founders intended and the liberal juges are always trying to change.

Tonight I’m cheaping out again, just don’t have much energy. Pasture raised organic lamb loin chops, marinated in soy soss, garlic, fresh rosemary and maybe something else, I can’t remember then grilled. Couscous pilaf – roasted garlic, olive oyl, chopped dried fruits (dates, figs, currants, gold raisins….) and toasted pine nuts. Sauteed greens.

last night I tossed together* an easy dinner. Green salad with homemade croutons. Broiled chicken thighs (nicely herbed, of course) and wild mushroom risotto. With Oregon black truffle.

I just put a couple of chicken breasts (bone-in) in the oven, with a few sprigs of tarragon tucked underneath the skin, and squeezed the juice of a tangerine (because I didn’t have a lemon) over them, and roasted them at 400 for about 45 minutes.

I took them out and got distracted at the computer, so they were room temperature after a while, so I put some greens on the plate, a few slivers of red onion, some chopped yellow bell pepper and some snap peas. I cut the chicken meat off the bone into bite sized pieces.

Then I strained the fat and juice from the roasting pan into a bowl, added a touch of balsamic vinegar, and whisked it into a salad dressing. I happened to have some of those salad crispy wontons – sprinkled them on top.

Damn! it was good. And I have 1 1/2 more chicken breasts leftover for more.

 
 

See, this Bozell fellow doesn’t understand that those of us who watch the “evening news”, whether it be with Brian, Charles, or Katie, don’t do so for the news per se, but for the drug commercials. You see, there is no news nearly as important as, say, Lipitor, or Claritin, or even Tylenol. We must see these informative commercials repeatedly in order to appreciate the smiling faces. The possible side effects give us chills, sometimes make our hearts race. No, the news is a mere lagniappe, a tiny gift attached to the critically serious business of drugs. If Katie has lost in this three way competition, the blame should be on the poor drug commercials.

In the post-Vietnam, post-Watergate period, the media asserted themselves as a fourth branch of government, abiding by left-wing urgings to resist being “stenographers to power.” So they struck their self-righteous blows against “risky” tax cuts and “foolish” wars and asserted their courage in refusing to wear flag pins.

He says that like it’s a bad thing. Fortunately for him this whole questioning government and resisting pseudo-patriotism in a time of war was quickly buried under a pile of rubble in Beirut in 1984; had a brief resurgence during Iran-Contra, but received a final bullet in the head and dumped in watery grave somewhere outside Kuwait in 1991.

I was surprised some years ago to discover that the Lemonade Paradox (to me, the Asparagus Paradox) was the invention of none other than Lewis Carroll:

I’m so glad I don’t like asparagus, because, you know, if I liked it I’d eat it all the time, and it’s awful stuff.

Revolutions are always ambiguous, aren’t they? At least, the good ones.

It’s interesting to read about it (Shirer’s books are still among the best), but living in a nation descending into insanity is both fascinating and horrifying. It seems unstopppable. Many of us recognize what is happening, but it reminds me of my grandmother descending into Alzheimer’s. She knew what was happening, but as her lucid moments became increasingly rare, and she became increasingly untethered from reality, she stopped trying to fight it and just wandered away into fragments of her past. The difference, of course, is that we can’t easily be institutionalized, and we have nuclear weapons.

I miss the Bozell the Gorilla image!

 
 

The women/orgasms/anal issue is not especially surprising. The sodomy is just one part of a sexual encounter that, on the whole (ahem), includes an orgasm. When the poster at BBKF’s link writes, “Anal sex outscored oral,” he or she is misrepresenting the study. In all likelihood these women consent to anal sex because they’re having encounters that include an orgasm 94% of the time. All this has been hashed out in a more proximal thread.

Re: our thread topic’s headline: it leads me to reflect on the difference between “a dog’s walking on…” and “a dog walking on.” I suspect the former was intended as typed, but it gave me pause.

Speaking of walk scores, I just traced the suburbification of my life. My last three addresses went from 92 to 78 to 58. That 58 is a bit low – Walk Score reports the nearest park as being over 2 km away when in actual fact I can get to it by climbing over my back fence. And it’s not that big a fence.

Anyways, trend is still there. I guess I should expect to be living in some gated community after the next few moves.

Walk score says it’s 1/3 mile to a park. There’s a park directly across the street from our building. And the Willammette greenway is about 150 yards away. True, the nearest full scale grocery is a mile away but I walk only 30 yards to the streetcar then ten minutes later walk another 30 yards to the store.

I note with delight that the “entertainment”‘ listed with our address is Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. We’re members.

Walk score of my little sty: 32

I iz car-dependent.

They failed on the park part for me, too. A much better park, with lots of trails, is only 1/3 from my house, but they picked the nearest park (which is just a couple of baseball diamonds in a flat field) at almost a mile.

 
 

The closer park has a more storied past, too. Back in the 80’s, the head of HR for the big insurance company I worked for at the time was “let go” after he was arrested at the park at night while dressed in full leather regalia.

I do believe one of the local weathermen lost his job (and probably other things) because of similar activities at the same place. We’ve lost three of them in my lifetime due to bear hunting incidents (so to speak)..

That walk score thing is wacky. I got a 51 and a “penalty” for pedestrian unfriendliness. There’s a bike/walking path right across the street that nearly surrounds the whole town, and even connects up to a smaller town a couple miles to the West. There are two great parks within about half a mile, right on this path, and a pretty well setup shopping center with everything I need about 2 tenths of a mile in the other direction. Seems super walkable to me, but WTF do I know.

 
Xecky Gilchrist
 

The walk score for my house is 66 – some of their calls are kind of odd, like having a C-store be the closest “groceries” when there are two others like it much closer and I’m not sure any of them really count – but anyway.

On the whole it’s pretty accurate, and it does rightly point out that the second-closest park to where I live is this fucked-up little beastie.

Obama doesn’t exist!

We’ll have to invent him!

 
 

Ya know how there was that p-shopped pic of Sarah Palin’s little girl giving the bird? Every wingnut conspiracy is equivalent to that.

 
 

“Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
The last whose realm was fair and free
Between the mountains and the sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen.
His shining helm afar was seen.
The countless stars of heaven’s field
Were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away,
And where he dwelleth none can say.
For into darkness fell his star;
In Mordor, where the shadows are.”

 
 

“We’ll have to invent him!”

We should have invented a tougher negotiator.

 
 

also resembles Orrin Hatch to no small degree

Makes one wonder if Orrin is a High Mormon, descended from one of the founding grifters of the church.

Example: Steve Young of NFL fame, per Wakkipee.

Young is a great-great-great-grandson of Brigham Young

 
 

Some will say Obama did not land on the moon.

 
 

Obama speaks and all the teatards hear is “Scuse me while I whip this out.”

 
 

He was busy community organizing Al Qaeda when he should have been concentrating on his studies at Columbia University.

This is why he had to kill his grandmother. She knew the TRUTH!
[How long before this conspiracy appears for real at WND?]

 
 

he had to kill his grandmother.

I heard it on the internets so it MUST BE TRUE!

Brown some ground beef. This is one time you don’t need to get it dark and shit. Use a heavy pan motherfucker, like cast iron, y’know? Chop an onion and add that shit to the beef. Do it a little before the beef is cooked. STFU that’s how you’ll know when it’s almost done. Diced bell pepper too. No, it doesnt matter a rat’s ass what the fuck color the pepper is. Garlic powder – don’t even think about buying garlic salt, ever you dickwad – dump some in there and stir that shit up. The sauce is tomato ketchup, a little brown sugar to make it sweeter even though ketchup is pretty much at the cloying saturation point already for christsake. Since it’s got all that fucking sugar you need to add some vinegar – like 2 tablespoon per cup of cat soup. Just use the cheap fucking white vinegar – you DO keep it on hand right I mean you’d have to be a retard to not have it in your larder and you’re not a retard are you. ARE YOU? Now add a teensy bit of ground cloves if you have it. No, dipshit, I won’t yell at you if you don’t have fucking ground clove or allspice. If you do have it that shit better be no more than 6 months old, you hear me? I SAID DO YOU HEAR ME MOTHERFUCKER? Water, quant. suff. to get the right consistency.

Of course you have to season with salt and pepper. You really are a tard, aincha.

Hey, I heard the suddenly found like 7,000 extra votes for Prosser (pedo? you tell me) on some idiots office PC that only said idiot had access to.

Here’s an article about it at TPM.

I’m not surprised that votes are/were missing. What I am surprised about is that vote counting involves a bunch of people with Excel spreadsheets and an obviously error-ridden manual import process into MS Access. I mean, seriously, WTF? It’s obvious there isn’t even any sort of check to be sure the formats of the spreadsheets are standard or anything. It would be amazing if the totals are ever even close to accurate.

Oh, and from another site:

The issue came to a head when Nickolaus removed the election results collection and tallying system from the county computer network this spring and installed it on standalone personal computers in her office. She has said they are backed up with redundant systems.

Director of Administration Norman A. Cummings said Nickolaus has been uncooperative with attempts to have information technologists review the system and confirm the backups.

Uh huh. Mighty convenient to happen to have a completely fucked up IT system involved in vote counting in a heavily Republican district of Wisconsin. Nothing to see here, move along.

They’re a little bigger around than your thumb and a little longer than your index finger. Slight taper along the length and with a very slight flare or bulge at the thick end. Not curly at all – that was the surprise. They were just long and straight shafts of meat. Well, really bones with some flesh wrapped around.

The ones I had were Caribbean preserved style, so ultra super salty. Rinse these repeatedly before cooking.

 
 

I’ve had pig tails before – stewed and braised.

Chickpea stew with pig feet and tails (garbanzos con patitas) is one of the exemplars of Puerto Rican peasant cookery. The dish has its roots in Mediterranean cooking (the Spanish olla podrida is a similar dish, and M00slims and Sephardic Jews cook their chickpea stew with cow feet), and it kicks serious ass.

Your culinary mentor was Jeffery Dahmer?

 
 

Chickpeas would have added a lot to the pig tails. They’re pretty tasty, but they have this slightly greasy fat to them. That subcutaneous layer that’s white as freshly fallen snow – even after being preserved in brine. Chickpeas would have sucked that right up. With all of the flavour too. Yum.

I had it with cooked rice – the rice cooked separately from the tails I mean. So while the rice did absorb a lot of juice, there was still a bit of oily-ness to it.

Imma gunna look to see if I can find pig tails again. And some garbanzo beans.

 
 

I didn’t read the whole article and I haven’t read any comments here, so sue me. What I did read was, “But what’s shocking is that Couric didn’t get the boot years ago. CBS’s ratings cratered while she earned $15 million annually.” So my question is, What are Brent’s thoughts on CEOs who fail, and not just by not getting ratings but by bankrupting their whole enterprise but who still get their huge salaries and bonuses?

I worked at Super Target when I was 20-21, and once a lady came along and asked me where the chick peas were. I showed her, and she said, “Those are garbanzo beans!” and acted like I was a total fucking idiot until she saw that I turned the can around to the side that said “chick peas” on it.

I will sell both of my kidneys before I ever work in retail ever again.

 
 

PM, loved the “q.s.” in your recipe. I’d watch arshole chef over Giada any day.

 
 

Imma gunna look to see if I can find pig tails again. And some garbanzo beans.

Don’t forget to throw a pig foot or two in there for great justice flavor. The connective tissue in both tails and feet serve to make a thicker broth. You can even cook it overnight- observant Sephardic Jews make a chickpea stew (with cow’s feet) that they cook overnight before the Sabbath, so they don’t have to light any cooking fires. One variation involves putting eggs in the stew so they get slowly hard-cooked. I got the recipe from Claudia Roden’s Book of Middle Eastern Food, which I unfortunately don’t have in front of me.

 
 

Our brunch tomorrow will include devilled lamb’s kidneys.

In 2009 senior haredi rabbis, led by Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, published a religious injunction forbidding the use of Shabbat elevators

I think it’s also forbidden to use your boner in certain ways.

Otherwise it is prohibited to use an elevator on Shabbat because pressing the button to operate the elevator closes a circuit, which violates the prohibition of building on Shabbat, and may also indirectly lead to “writing” of the new floor number in the display.

——————————————————–Website of Huckabee’s American History ‘Expert’ Suggests “Biblical slavery” For Non-Christians
 By Bruce Wilson, 2011-04-07 16:22:37
 Section: Dominionism in the military, Topic: All Topics

On April 6, 2011 Jon Stewart questioned
[http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/wed-april-6-2011-mike-huckabee]
presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee about David Barton. Stewart missed a
few things. For example, Barton’s Wallbuilders
[http://www.wallbuilders.com] web site has for almost a decade featured an
article, by a member of Barton’s Wallbuilders board of directors, that
seems to endorse “Biblical slavery” for pagans
[http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=120] and other
miscreants, and favorably cites the work of a theologian who claimed the
accepted Holocaust death toll was wildly inflated. The article has been on
Barton’s Wallbuilders web site since 2003.   Mike Huckabee is so
enthusiastic about the teaching of Wallbuilders head Barton that at the
March 2011 Rediscover God In America conference Huckabee stated that he
wishes all Americans could be forcibly indoctrinated, at gunpoint
[http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2011/03/30/mike-huckabee-says-he-want
s-americans-to-be-indoctrinated-at-gunpoint/] no less, with Barton’s
version of American history. As Huckabee told conference attendees,   “I
almost wish that there would be, like, a simultaneous telecast, and all
Americans would be forced-forced at gunpoint no less-to listen to every
David Barton message, and I think our country would be better for it. I
wish it’d happen.”

Trotters I can get, but tails are harder to come by. We’re cutting back on salt right now as a result of gestationally related high blood pressure issues, so it’ll be months before I get to cook it. But If I do find tails again, I’ll pick ’em up for the time when they’re kosher again. Okay not kosher per se, but you know what I mean.

That kinda surprises me. My running theory has always been that liberals are the ones with extra bits of social behavior turned on in their monkey-brains, enabling one to experience scary things which don’t really exist, like “empathy” and “altruism”. Understanding complexity seems a weaker predictor of politics.

 
Till Eulenspiegel
 

Walk Score is definitely a bit wonky, but roughly accurate. I can change it from 75 to 85 just by moving about 100 meters.

It seems to only award top scores to a place like Manhattan. Meanwhile, I live just off a lovely tree-lined street packed with restaurants, bars, and shops – and about five minutes’ walk from 4-5 proper supermarkets. Lovely canal just to the north, nice big park filled with friendly drug dealers to the south, etc. More of a walker’s paradise than midtown Manhattan, IMO, yet only a 75.

Wiki has a good article on laws banning interracial marriage in the U.S. Apparently it was still illegal in most Southern states until 1967, overturned by the following case:

Anti-miscegenation laws overturned on 12 June 1967 by Loving v. Virginia

 
 

Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear, said the study on Thursday in Current Biology.

Well, liberals tend to hand around with other liberals who use subtle and complex things like irony and sarcasm, while conservatives tend to hang out with other conservatives who use scary things like inanity and guns. I wonder why the study didn’t find differences in the part of the brain that deals with POOP.

 
 

Understanding complexity seems a weaker predictor of politics.

Not necessarily. Blind faith in tax-cuts & other dogmatic stuff, inability to see anything in shades other than black & white, yada are in part caused by an innate inability to get that anything could even be complex.

 
 

I can never get the water part right, it always ends up runny.

It’s two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen. If it ends up runny you are using too much hydrogen.

 
 

Apparently, word on the street in Wis. is that this Waukesha woman deliberately delayed reporting votes to focus attention on herself, while meanwhile in Milwaukee, the liberal candidate got WAY fewer votes than expected………..some 10 to 15 thousand fewer in fact.

After all, you can still stagger (use the bike to hold you up!) the two blocks to the bike path.

Where they will still give you a DUI. Seriously. I don’t have first hand experience, but it happens to the college kids a lot. They usually also get arrested for “Minor in Possession by Intoxication” which is another one I wasn’t aware of.

 
 

I want to be possessed by intoxication.

 
 

Damn, now I want a beer.

Situation normal then?

I’ll be heading across the street to Brew Station for a pint in about an hour or so. I won’t be there for too long though. They’ve got Stone IPA, Racer 5 IPA, Alaskan Double IPA, a couple Ninkasi beers, and six or seven more I can’t remember right now on tap…

Funny how that works.

I want you all to drown in your beers.

 
 

I’ve tried. It’s harder than you’d think.

 
 

N__B, it just takes a little time.

Switched to Cuba Zombres, myself.

 
 

So it’s beer. You never answered my question the other night–RUDE. 😉

Looking forward to an Anchor Brewing Liberty Ale (or 3) when I get home.

 
 

All I have to say about Bozell is that he is a coward. He will not post replies to his twaddle on the GOPUSA website. If he was that confident in his scary arguments, rebuttals would not be a problem.

What a maroon!
