Tuesday Stuff

"Worst Persons" (well lookee lookee here, boys and girls, we have the Inky making the list for giving a monthly feature to Torture Yoo - by the way, and don't tell anybody, but I just went to the paper's Opinion page online, and Yoo still doesn't have a pic with a legend telling readers that he's a contributing columnist...I can't think of a word to describe how sad it is to see Harold Jackson, and especially Bill Marimow, who once won a Pulitzer for God's sake, toeing the Tierney line like this; Eric Bolling of the Fix Business Channel - heh - first criticizes K.O. and the like for "frat house humor" when justifiably lampooning the "teabaggers," but he then ranks his guests as if they're on a baseball team and says that Barney Frank should be the "catcher"...the laughs never stop with these cretins because they never begin in the first place; but Greta Van Susteren of Fix Noise takes it for criticizing The Politico for an ambush interview of Todd Palin...aside from the hypocrisy cited so well in the film clip, is the other joke here the assumption that Palin would actually have something interesting to say?)...



Update 1 5/13/09: And here's something we can do about Yoo, by the way.

Update 2 5/16/09: Wow, how's this for chutzpah? Bascially, the Inquirer says that "a blogger (who would be Will Bunch of The Daily News) incorrectly reported that The Inquirer had recently hired former Justice Department official John Yoo, one author of memos justifying the Bush administration's use of torture to interrogate terror suspects. Actually, Yoo's monthly freelance column began last October."

Maybe Bunch was confused, as were we all, since the Inquirer themseleves didn't even tell anyone about that until last Sunday.

Yep, I don't think those pigs will be flying again anytime soon, Inky.

...and this one goes out to the five "D" magazine writers I chastised earlier today; my guess is that this is about at their speed (to every other sentient life form in the world, I apologize for this clip).
