Rethuglican Enablers are omnipresent in the MSM...

Like moles planted in some Tom Clancy book or MI-5 TeeVee show, these men and women are everywhere. Schooled from an early faux-journalistic youth, they have had the term "impartial" ascribed to them over long years of working their way up doing stand-ups in the rain and snow, in flood zones and heat waves, reporting what seem to the uninitiated to be the "facts". This allows the TeeVee personality to establish a verisimilitude.

However, somewhere along the line, the reporter is given a political beat and the public has no idea, nor does it care, if and when the journo actually has the credentials or the objectivity. But no matter, the same guy or gal who told e people that five inches of snow had fallen, now tells you that Races are neck and neck, or that the is an enthusiasm gap. The only actual gap is between the ears here...

The reason that you know t hat what I have said is true is simply that one individual was given Carte Blanche and skipped over the mundane stories and went right to the top, or the near- top. And that would be at moranic impersonation of a dildo, Luke Russert. NBC made a mistake by promoting this two-digit I.Q. Jockstrap too quickly, and he has given their game away unwittingly. I say "unwittingly" because that's the hallmark of Little Luke's opinions. He's an unabashed Rethug who is just so thrilled to be in with the In Crowd that he can't stop gushing, as though he just met John Elway or Jack Nicholson. MSNBC doesn't fool me for a minute since they are the network which fired Phil Donahue because he was skeptical of our war making policy at a time when he might have been shot at dawn or hung in a public square for speaking out. When Fox captured the RW in toto, Olbermann showed MSNBC how to make money and not fold and go the way of the Dumont TV Network.

But these creepazoids are everywhere: it sounds like Santa's reindeer, Blitzer, Brokaw, Stephanopolis, Sawyer, Schieffer, Scarborough, any idiot from Politico, any idiot from 60 Minutes these days, any idiot from Entertainment Tonight, any idiot from just about anywhere is busy making a case for this King of Liars and his henchman who can bench press 600 pounds, run a Marathon in under two hours, and leap tall buildings at a single bound. These are the same bastards who made fun of Al Gore's wardrobe and put a man into the Presidency who wasn't even an amiable dunce like Saint Ronald of Reagan, he was just a plain warmongering, uneducated despite his credentials, mean drunk, and what is fascinating is that after subverting the entire Process in order to have him installed, they don't even mention his name from one two week period to the next. They are, as the late, lamented website used to call them, true Media Whores.

Consider this as you watch them breathlessly reporting the returns on Election Night: Blitzer With his hesitations, repetitions, and 'uhhhhs', the FOX folk depressed, whining about turnout and Democrat ( sic and sick) dirty tricks, Anderson Cooper with that false new- found expression of wonderment as he observes the Universe rotating around him and his wonderfully stylish hair, Dian Sawyer matter-of-factly explaining why poor (sic) Governor Romney is losing which is going to be terrible for his darling (!) family, and the real RW non-pretenders like Castellanos, Steve Schmidt, Bay Buchanan, and t he like wailing into their mics.

All in all, a great day and night lies ahead.
