Don’t Punch The Unicorn

Media

I think my favorite part of this segment is when the host says, “This is John McCain we’re talking about!”

John McCain is a magical war shaman, as all Republicans are, and the idea of someone saying he hasn’t actually led a large organization or developed war policy is like, well, telling them there were people who had problems with Tim Russert’s credibility.

Second is when the host gets her Serious Face on, leans in, and talks about the special insight that John McCain has - particularly into torture.

Just go get him some doughnuts already, for God’s sake.

Wow.  Could these guys be more obvious?  They can’t deal with the notion of someone challenging their narrative.  And could MSNBC have any dopier sounding newsies with which to shred their credibility?

“General Wesley Clark, sounding like vice president” she says coyly, sounding like a total lightweight who can’t wait to get away from serious policy discussions and back to the campaign bullshit.  Clark was talking about material things, but trust a talking head to drag it back to a speculation story for Entertainment Tonight if at all possible.  I’m surprised she didn’t ask him if he’s dating Britney Spears.

Clark’s response was tight, and it’s part of an overall strategy that reminds me a bit of Antony’s eulogy for Caesar—John McCain is an honorable man, and all. Hey, it worked for Shakespeare.

These news readers are just a bunch of bobbleheaded dopes.  So few of them have any experience with military service (directly or via a close family member) and their exposure to the world outside of the US is a drunken Spring Break in Cancun. 
So anyone who wore a uniform is automatically accorded the stature of military policy expert, and McMaverick was in Vietnam for a couple of years, so he must be an expert of foreign countries too!

I’ve thought for quite some time that Mika is possibly the stupidest person in a position of prominence on cable tv. Some merely hold stupid positions because they are partisan hacks. I’m confident though that Mika is actually dumb as a post.

Amazing considering she has such good genes but she can’t go an hour without saying something that is mind-numbingly stupid.

You picked my favorite part as well.  Nothing revealed the sort of armor McCain has been provided by the press better than those seven words.

that woman is dumb as a box of hair.

i love clark.  he’s so, precise.  it thrills the analytical nerd inside of me.

Melissa, don’t insult my box of Magic Hair.  It is very smart, even has a driver’s license!  Should get its own teevee show like Mika.

The thing is, it’s not John McCain they’re talking about, it’s “John McCain.”  The media dipshits can’t or won’t differentiate between the actual candidate and the myth they’ve built up about him.

Comment #9: libdevil  on  06/18  at  05:23 PM

well you know, i’m just talking about regular hair - not Magic Hair.  that’s sumpin’ special.

Comment #10: Melissa  on  06/18  at  05:26 PM

Clark has nerves of steal. I would have thrown my chair at that dumbass.

Comment #11: Sirkowski  on  06/18  at  05:38 PM

I love that they kept repeating the line that was “so controvertial” without mananging to actually address it… so people kept hearing that McCain is “untested and untried”.

I think that they’re talking the wrong campaign points

”  i love clark.  “

me, too. he looks cute sothey think they can strongarm him, as if he wasnt a lifer in the military.  they all reminds me of the flys buzzing around beezelbub, those nitwit talking heads. i get a thrill when he pins them to the shoebox…

Can’t we just tie the reporters down and loop the “bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” clip at them until they realize that the Big John (McCain) narrative is horseshit?

Shorter Wes Clark: John McCain?  Spent his war in the penalty box. Amateur.
