"The press corps that is bashing her skull in right now is the same one that hyped that WMD horseshit for like four solid years and pom-pommed America to war with Iraq over the screeching objections of the entire planet. It’s the same press corps that rolled out the red carpet for someone very nearly as abjectly stupid as Sarah Palin to win not one but two terms in the White House. If there was any kind of consensus support for Palin inside the beltway, the criticism of her, bet on it, would be almost totally confined to chortling east coast smartasses like me and Glenn Greenwald and Andrew Sullivan."

me:
4:18 PM am I very confused? never has a person gotten so much from the media for so little than has sarah palin.
She ought to be the biggest fan of the media in the world
their machine is just playing her along
4:21 PM also, this article you sent me is amazing: http://www.nytimes.com/2001/
and exactly the problem
4:22 PM in ten years, will we have to read the same about sarah palin?
Can the nation get any dumber?
Well, golly, Kenneth the page should run for office!

4:31 PM Manny: that article is awesome in so many ways
me: truly
4:32 PM it's almost a work of tragically ironic art
| 5 minutes |
4:37 PM Manny: like, it says democrats are happy bush won, without naming ANY
it uses a quote from one guy to justify that argument, even though the guy doesn't say ANYTHING LIKE what the article does
4:38 PM It fires random potshots at feminine, losery democrats, who want to hug
it gives masculine, powerful imagery to republican daddys like rumsfeld
4:39 PM me: it's basically the porn fantasy that the entire industry entered into the moment the towers came down
and really, 15 years before that
4:40 PM Manny: and it's a total lie
4:41 PM the article is just fiction
there's no gore backer in there who's happy bush won
4:42 PM there's crazy anonymous sources... pushing unknown agendas...
4:44 PM me: well, if you don't use imaginary sources, how can you make sure people say what you want?
