Pensieri di un lunatico minore

The idiots keep talking

Won’t someone make them shut up? It’s obvious that the “political reporters” are by-and-large maliciously incompetent and determined to do anything but discover what’s really going on, or report the actual policies and efforts by either candidate. This little bit sums it up best:

To strain this metaphor even further (and apologies to all non-sports fans), say the Green Bay Packers were playing the Chicago Bears and scored the first two touchdowns. If our political reporters were sportscasters, David Broder would insist that the Packers should let the Bears score, Sean Hannity would loudly proclaim that the Bears did score, and Cokie Roberts would misreport the score and then proceed to ignore the game.

So as I screamed at Bob Costas’ yammering over the Olympics: Pay attention or shut the f#ck up.
