So This Is Where We Are

Page A6 of today's WSJ: "News Coverage of Obama Irks McCain Team"

Now, let's just ignore the fact that if the shoe were on the other foot Wally would be crabbing on about Obama being a whiner. Let's instead see what the media has to say for itself. Like, MSNBC president Phil "Jizz Mop" Griffin: "There's so much white noise during a campaign; you have to do something to make people take a second look. That's what Obama succeeded in doing this time. But the McCain people will do the same thing." Translated, that says, "You need a distraction? WE can make it happen!"

The media's best defense, though, was provided by Paul Friedman, senior VP for CBS news: ""It used to be the stories were 'everybody's in love with McCain, he's on his bus, he schmoozes the reporters, they all give him a break.' That's the irony." (Josh's note: Paul doesn't know what 'irony' means) "These guys are now crying foul, and they've had this advantage of terrific relationships with the press."

In other words, the only thing actual honest-to-God-they-think-they-are-journalists have to say for themselves is, "yeah, we sucked McCain's dick. And now, we're busy sucking Obama's dick. But we'll get back to McCain, eventually. Can't stop to think now -- too much dick to suck!"

In other "news," Wally got somebody to actually write an article in support of nuclear power as a solution to global warming and calling nuclear energy "the answer to environmentalists' prayers." This was a real article, by what I think is a real human being (damn you, dot-pictures! It could be all make believe!!). Apparently, nuclear power was the brainchild of SIXTIES HIPPIES who wanted to stop polluting mother earth and so they FORCED energy speculators, investors, and Mr. Burns to build GREEN POWER plants that run on URANIUM, the broccoli of -aniums (broccoli is also the ger-anium of -coli's, and e-coli is the uranium of b-acteria. Whatever.).

The proof of the vast, uncharted, measureless stupidity of conservatives is affirmed again for today.

Q to the E to the motherfucking D.
