It's the US political season

Wow. The Republicans have really taken over the media leading up to the mid-terms. There’s no angle they aren’t controlling. Three examples:

1) On FoxNews, Bill Clinton tore weasel Chris Wallace a new one, but today the majority of columnists are describing the incident as Clinton “losing it”. Hardly. He forcefully called Wallace on being a snivelling little Republican toady shill. Now I’d love to see someone who is actually running for office do something similar.

2) 60 Minutes premiered with a nauseating puff piece on Condi. God, how many times do we have to see that woman playing Brahms on her fancy piano or working that elliptical trainer. I am so sick of this stuff.

3) Washington Post headline today: “Bush hides anguish over war dead”. Puhlleeeze, at this point they want us to believe he really gives a shit about a single dead soldier. He gets more upset when he has to cut his vacation short. Bush's only anguish is that he can't drink in public. It’s way too late to pull that stunt. Way too late.

Of course Keith Oberman on MSNBC was the only one who said he didn't lose it. But right after his show another pundit went on about how Clinton lost it. I was kinda on the fence until that Chris Wallace said that he was "afraid" when Clinton leaned over and wagged a finger at him. Big baby, your father is horrified...there can be no fear!

Condi, makes my head hurt....

Olbermann is hilarious. I love this part:

"Then again, Chris Wallace might be braver still. Had I in one moment surrendered all my credibility as a journalist, and been irredeemably humiliated, as was he, I would have gone home and started a new career selling seeds by mail."
