2. Media Isn't Being Taken For A Ride
CNN and MSNBC probably have more viewers tonight than a normal Friday night. They love that.

7. Nah, *you* are being taken for a ride.
Enjoy it. :) It'll be anticlimatic.

12. I am not being taken for a ride, I am not watching the talking heads
it remains to be seen how "anti-climatic" it is

13. It's an intricate double-twist.
They've been hosed, because they're not being pandered to, instead they're the ones being jerked around, for once it's not all about them.

But they can't complain too loudly, because then it's too obvious they think it should be all about them.

They're exposed for the access whores they are. It is to laugh.

14. You nailed the utter brilliance of this. They are straining to just stop short of
bursting a vessel on air--and looking completely foolish in the meantime.

I, for one, am LOVING this (OTOH, I'm not living or dying by the Veep choice, either).
