VH-1 kicks the NY Times' ass

OK, this is on the order of Jon Stewart kicking the media's butt every night of the week. Remember that super-snarky Jodi Wilgoren article comparing the prices of everything John Kerry touched during his vacation, and then comparing the more humble, down-to-earth tastes of Dear Leader? Remember Wilgoren's horrifying front-page piece on Kerry's "valet"?

Well, VH-1 is running "Battle of the Bling," comparing Kerry's lifestyle to Bush's, to see which has more "bling." It's absolutely hilarious and far, far more realistic than the propaganda put out by Pravda-on-the-Hudson. They cover all the things we all know about Kerry, but they also go into Bush's riches and blue blood, his private club memberships, his $40K cowboy boots, all 25 of them . . . on and on.

It's part of their series "The Fabulous Life," and it's done in the same fawning, over-the-top neo-Robin Leach style that they use for the likes of P. Diddy and Madonnna. It's got a section on their Web site.
