In Love With Brianna Keilar

I'll take exception with the lawyer's argument that "Any reasonable viewer arrives with an appropriate amount of skepticism."

Seems pretty obvious to me that nobody with a living thinking brain would be watching DumFux News at all.

Brianna Keilar - CNN - A segment from 5 months ago, which is proving to be both prophetic, and a little aggravating.

The problem, of course comes at the end, when Stirewalt carps about how Republicans are being so mistreated and blah blah blah - and Keilar lets it stand.

No, goddamn it. Republicans are actively engaged in very deliberate attempts to tear down democracy. I will not play nice with assholes who're doing that.

And if Republicans want to be treated better - if there are actually Republicans who're on the side of the American traditions of democratic self-governance - then let 'em get up on their hind legs and start helping us.

You First, Lady

hat tip(s) = Crooks & Liars

Andrea Tantaros wants to lead the parade of Awesomely Slaughter-'Em-All American Exceptionality into northern Iraq to make ISIS respect us for goin' in there and mowin' 'em down.



No wait - she wants you to lead the parade...no wait - she wants your kids...wait...she says it's disgraceful that "we" aren't over there lighting them up, while she sits in a very comfortable TV studio being all 35-ish, and holding a college diploma, and looking for all the world to be in pretty good shape, and so she's obviously the near-perfect candidate for enlistment in the US Military branch of her choice, and with her eagerness and her Gung Ho fighting spirit, I'm pretty sure she could take a few good men over there and clean out every snake in the nest in a blaze of Sgt Rock-level glory that'd give Audie Murphy self esteem issues.

So, no, she doesn't want any of that really.  She's there (ostensibly) to sell Reverse Mortgage scams to the rubes who love to hear her slag Obama at every opportunity, even tho' her real function is to give the Viagra-munching DumFux News fans a little taste of the dark-haired dominatrix of their post-adolescent fantasies so they can rub out a quick one before scootering down to the mailbox to pick up their Social Security checks.

This game gets more than a little boring, but what really grates on my soul is that I have to agree with Dan Rather.



Fuck.
