Gosh all fish hooks!!
On MSNBC tonight Chris Matthews will discuss whether or not George Bush's use of 9-11 imagery is a good idea.
Geez you don't think they will be too hard on the President do you??
Good God we really do have robot journalism on cable TV now....two spineless centrists, two attack dog GOP thugs and smiling and smacking his lips at it all, Chris Matthews a grotesque public hedonist.
We don't even need to watch, we all know what the outcome will be,the centrists will quaver and waver, the attack dogs will yell on about how great the adverts are and Chris Matthews (who worships force the way some venerate the Virgin Mary) will chuckle at how the ads make Bush look like a "take no shit guy".
Hypocrisy is a venal sin, some call it the duty that vice pays in a world run by virtue.
However epidemic hypocrisy, wherein all profess one set of values ("unbiased journalism") and act on another (partisanship) is a symptom of something more sinister which is rank corruption.
This is what is at stake when we see another one of these hopeless Bolshevik line ups on cable yakkers...corruption.
Not only is it okay for Bush to use the horrific imagery of 9-11 for his own gain it's also okay for Chris Matthews skew the debate on his show in favor of the President.
So there are two layers of political putrefaction festering away here...we are in big trouble in this country mostly because we've gotten used to these kind of excesses.
And that gentle readers is a bad thing.
