Oh, mainstream media...
Jan. 19th, 2009 01:47 pm...you just hit rock bottom and keep on digging.
Two examples of why I don't watch network "news:"
1) After all the campaign blather about whether Obama seemed too "elitist" and all the glorification of Joe Sixpack wisdom and small-town values, it was pretty fucking bizarre to see high-society cadaver Sally Quinn on Dateline last night lockjawing about how vital it is for the President and Mrs. Obama to be part of the Washington D.C. social circuit. Gee, Lady Quinn, don't you think he has a FEW more important things to worry about than making the Beltway party scene? Go keep a crypt somewhere, you hag.
2) Joe Scarborough on this morning's Today show blithely uttered the jaw-dropping nonsense that the "partisan nastiness of the past 12 years" was "a generational thing." No, Joe, it was a REPUBLICAN thing. The endless persecution of Bill Clinton for one non-scandal after another and his eventual impeachment over a blowjob was not carried out by members of any particular "generation." It was carried out by REPUBLICANS. Just as the partisan hackery, cronyism and corruption of the past eight years was not "generational." It was REPUBLICAN. Say it loud, Joe: REPUBLICAN. REPUBLICAN REPUBLICAN REPUBLICAN.
Will the bullshit never stop?
