OK, so I'm sitting here at work listening to Terri Gross on NPR interviewing Frank "I'm an asshole" Luntz, and he's going on and on about the shit he always goes on and on about, and he's saying how he thinks there's a "double standard" and how conservatives can't make jokes about liberals but liberals can make jokes about conservatives. Politics is getting really nasty, and he feels SO sorry for the bloggers because the level of hate is so icky out there, blah blah blah... All of a sudden, the BZEEEEP BZEEEEP BZEEEEEP noise comes on, and the automated voice announces that this is a test of the Emergency Broadcast Service Alert, if this had been an actual emergency Blah blah BZEEEEP BZEEEEP BZEEEEEP.
OK, no big deal, right? Except when it's done, I hear Luntz being all defensive, saying "It was a JOKE, and other people, even some Democrats thought it was funny"...
OK, I thought, WTF is that asshole talking about? What did I miss?
I Google Luntz "Bad Joke" and voila.
(I obviously missed the day he said this):
"I always use the line for Nancy Pelosi, 'You get one shot at a facelift. If it doesn't work the first time, let it go.' "
So Terri Gross had obviously just nailed his hypocritical ass to the wall. He looks like a total ass. And someone at KERA just happened to push the button that plays the emergency broadcast alert test right at that exact moment.
Riiiiiight.
This has been a test of the Right Wing Radio alert. In the event of an emergency where Right Wing assholes really really get nailed to the wall, that information will be covered up as best as possible.
We now return to your regular hate-filled blogging experience, where there is only hatred on the left, not the right, and Frank Luntz is just a pollster, not a hypocritical asshole.
