Sandra Dee Buys Pink Princess Phone To Talk To Troy Donohue.
Wait that's a headline from Seventeen Magazine in 1963, or it could have been.
Welcome back to the journalism of the 1960s and I'm not talking about Edward R. Murrow. When many of us were kids, back then, that's the kind of riveting news that was directed at us. Annette and Frankie Avalon have been replaced by Hillary and Obama. The names have changed but it's the same nonsense we read when we were teenagers.
Today, nothing’s different, every news program leads with Hillary and Obama, then they go to how badly has McCain been hurt by Bush and for the most part this is the end. When was the last time we heard about John Edwards or even Al Gore (without talking about his movie)? If that lying bastard Ralph Nader came back into the 2008 race, he'd get more press than Edwards, yet Edwards is the overwhelming favorite of all those working in the GOTV effort. He's our favorite and rightly so.
Can you believe that Bush is being given so much deference and respect by the press? The talking heads postulate that people will have to reevaluate the surge in 6 months after this slug and his VP, tricked us, lied to us and committed the worst cases of Gross negligence ever committed by an American administration. Why is the press giving him another six minutes, since the surge is nothing different, and that 6 months will turn into 18 months for good behavior?
We know how criminal Bush and Cheney have been and our collective knowledge has probably only scratched the surface of what they have done. I remember when the press asked Bill Clinton if he was still relevant yet they let the slug escalate a war that he lied us into without pointing out to their readers and listeners that the surge is just more of the same with just a few more troops. Bush and Cheney are guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and crimes against humanity and the imbeciles of the press who can’t analyze anything more than Sandra and Troy and blowjobs, are treating him like a knowing leader.
I don't know what we can do to get Edwards back into the discussion. I don't know what we have to do to have the press teach the American public about high crimes and misdemeanors and what Bush and Cheney have done to earn such charges. Perhaps once the hearings start, Impeachment will be seen as the logical option, that not only gets rid of Bush and Cheney but also earns back American respect all over the world. Let's talk about that. What do WE do next?
