John McCain: Serial Liar
"Gee, Who Knew?"
Ruth Marcus in The WaPo.0 comments
The ugly little role of the press in holding John McCain's coat, while he cooks them BBQ and pours crankcase oil all over Barack Obama, is becoming clearer to all of them now.
They're embarrassedly wiping the corners of their mouths, and are starting to say their "Thanks for a great time," to Cindy McCain, mumble something about, "Umm, nice house, uhhh, I have to go now..." as they wander back to their desks in shock trying to explain away the shambles they've made of the electoral process.
At least one entire generation of reporters, if not two, has appeared since the tightly organized Radical Right succeeded in getting the entire Fourth Estate to capitulate to their demands that they never be held accountable for any of their evil actions because "everyone knows THEY do it, too!" For a couple of decades, the Right insisted that to NOT make every story a He said/He said shows you're biased, open for attack and nothing you write is to be believed.
Snip, snip, snip. Balls hitting the floor like the old, compressed Super Ball fad. Boing! Boing!
Now, the older among them are coming back from the BBQ, crawling around under their desks and wondering, "Anybody seen my balls? Anybody? Did the cleaning lady take them?"
While the whole puppy class of Jim Vanden Hai's, Chuck Todds, Jim Carneys and the rest, begin to struggle with the notion: "You mean...we're supposed to HAVE BALLS? They never covered THAT in school!"
