Fight Club and the republicans

[Lefty_the_Right]

Last night I was watching insanity and homley as they discussed the Gray Davis recall.

They had two guests, but whenever the person defending Gray spoke he was shouted down and was never able to get anything out.

The shrill republican woman, who is a radio show personality, was screaming that the liberal media wasn't telling the truth about the situation.

I sat there and went "Wow, you are a radio show host, on Faux news, screaming about liberal media bias."

That's when the scene from Fight Club when Ed Norton beats the crap out of himself in his bosses office.

His boss just stands there with his mouth open in shock.

I mean, how do you defend yourself in that kind of situation?

That's the situation I think we find ourselves in.

1. I like the analogy.

Was the radio person Laura Ingraham? God I hate her so much. She is just so constantly wrong. She has never once provided a fact to back up what she says. She simply laughs at things she disagrees with.

2. the movie in general

is something that the Repubs can get really horny over.

Personally, I think it was typical movie shite, but I understand the basic ideas in the film... many Repubs seem to have the complete wrong end of the stick. They use it as a way to justify the operation of the Intelligence service/industry without realizing the whole bit about projecting imaginary demons and kicking their asses.

Dennis Miller did it recently.

To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld:

"The problem with not knowing something is that you have no idea how much you do not know"

... or somethng like that.
