It’s a great week for fairy tails, as spoken by assorted incompetent folks in
the media. Which once again reinforces the opinion that some
of these people should not be allowed to speak to small animals, let alone
the public in General.

First off, Maureen Dowd compares George W. Bush to Gene Kelly (Yes, the great Actor, dancer
and artist) http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/16/opinion/16dowd.html

Most people would compare GWB to Mr. Ed the talking horse if they were looking for a way to complement George and villify Mr. Ed. But Gene Kelly?

Patricia Ward Kelly puts it in persepective.

Besides Georgie doesn’t even TRY to tap dance as he blows smoke up all our collective backsides… Maureen must have been having a senior moment when she rambled this story
into existence.

Next up, a favorite target of people that like journalism that includes at
least a small bit of truth. Joe Klein serial LIAR and outrageous douchebag, steps in
it once again.

Joe Klein is a Time Magazine contributor and political pundit who anonymously penned the novel Primary Colors and who, if you are unlucky enough to come within shouting distance of, will no doubt remind you of how he’s covered more presidential campaigns than you. Also, lots of people think he’s kind of an idiot for various reasons - for example: he has never demonstrated a functional understanding about FISA and yet he keeps on running his mouth about it.

But hey, don’t take my word for it! Flash forward to today, when, in search for just the perfect metaphor to describe Obama’s recent troubles, Klein’s fecund imagination alights upon today’s news. Specifically, the Michigan woman who died when an eagle ray leapt into her boat.

Joe’s latest penchant for putting up quotes that are compeltely wrong, or attributed to the wrong sources in his articles, makes me wonder is he just pulls stuff out of thin air
when he writes, or if he really is as dumb as some people have suggested.

And finally Dan Perino, spokeswoman for George Bush and all things irrelevent and untruthful
takes a slap at Helen Thomas when she was on the Jon Stewart show.

In an off-handed cheap shot, Ms. Perino complained about answering questions from Thomas that were “not based on fact.”

Helen Thomas has been covering the news for 57 years. That’s 23 years longer than Dana Perino has been alive. Ms. Thomas was the first woman officer of the National Press Club, and the first woman president of the White House Correspondents Association. In 1998 White House Correspondents Association created the Helen Thomas Lifetime Achievement Award – which she won, as the first recipient.

And Dana Perino complains about questions from Helen Thomas “not based on fact.”

Dana wouldn’t recognize a fact if she were slapped in the face with one hard enough to knock her crosseyed.

The only difference between Dana and Baghdad Bob, is the blonde hair, well that and Bob
seemed to have a better grasp of the english language then Dana does.

All in all a fine week for slimeball journalism, which sadly to say is pretty much
just more of the same crap we have already been seeing come from the White House, and the Main Stream Media outlets.

Cheers!
