I turned on John Mc.Laughlin this morning, and they had their usual guests on, talking about politics, Valdimir Putin and his power grab, and whether Rudy Guiliani can actually win the presidency if the Christian nut-jobs run a third party candidate. Then a subject of world wide importance came up. An issue that is sure to change the dynamic of the 2008 presidential race, Hillary Clinton's cackle. The conversation lasted about 2 minutes in which Mc.Laughlin made fun of the cackle, repeatedly running it, so as to make Hillary sound insane. Then, Mc.Laughlin compared the Hillary cackle to Howard Dean and his scream, and whether or not this can do Hillary in, in terms of becoming president.
Then after rolling my eyes at that bit of stupidity, I turned it on MSNBC, and again, another subject of great importance came up. Iraq?? no, Health care?? no, Immigration? no, global warming?? no, Barack Obama and his flag pin (controversy.) Again, more riveting television.
This is the state of our body politic today. If you believe the polls, Hillary has a massive lead, so the brain dead media have to come up with some sort of negativity to knock her down. And of course, Obama isn't showing proper respect to our men and woman in uniform by not wearing a flag pin, so therefore, he must be one of those heartless, anti-christ liberals who doesn't support the war 1000%, while Rush Limbaugh gets a free pass with his phony soldiers comments.
What's next?? Hillary has unsightly teenage blemishes? Bill Richardson has a last name exceeding 8 letters?? Obama has an ingrown toenail?? Joe Biden has a receeding hairline?? Mike Gravel has bad breath??
Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is the real news your media is reporting on. I can't wait for the next major story to be breathlessly reported on. I would like to think they the media would be reporting on a story that the American people actually care about. But you and I both know that Hillary's cackle and Obama's flag pin is what the most important issues of the day are.
God, my head hurts!!!!
