bush_segway_crash-766234.thumbnail.jpgI guess it takes a lot of that stuff to actually make a statement like this:

Obama said: "John McCain has been in Congress 25 years, no doubt about that. If this is a longevity measure, then John McCain wins. On the other hand, before we went into Iraq, I knew the difference between Shia and Sunni."

Well that’s all true Senator Obama, but you’re making a fundamental mistake. Basic truth is too much to handle for our media and because they say so, it must therefore be too much for us. As anyone reading the rest of the Associated Press narrative of the story containing that quote can tell you. After all, they titled it:

Obama mourns US troop deaths, swipes at McCain

So you see, according to the AP even when you’re mourning, they think it’s all a political trick.

Because, the media in this country long ago decided that the "truth" is less important than the "narrative". And it is not at all important whether the narrative is true. Ah, journalism.

For example, it was the media who so gladly absorbed and pushed the idea that American’s want to vote for the "guy they want to have a beer with". So naturally, in two straight elections the winner (once on actual votes) was George W. Bush, the guy Americans cannot have a beer with because he’s an alcoholic. You see, the narrative was right even though it was so very wrong.

And this must be, from the prospective of those intrepid wise ones true yet again. Because it matters not whether there are Sunni and there are Shia. What matters is that there is easily available file footage of brown people who are angry and they must be bombed, because we have been told they are ALL the types who will bomb us. Role the crazy ass video tape…NO, not the edited portions of the gay pride parade, the edited portions of Muslims chanting stuff! Ah, that hits the spot.

We must bomb the nameless, brown yet faceless, enemy before they bomb us. And it’s all in the name of peace. They’re in Eurasia aren’t they? We’ve always been at war with them! To do less means you hate American too much and also quite uncivilized.

Now that we have this clarified, we can move on to browbeat Obama over this New Yorker cover that is supposed to be a parody of such stupidity but will be covered like a real indictment. You see, they will say, when EVEN the liberal New Yorker has this on the cover blah blah blah. Mark Halperin has already declared McCain the winner of the week that has not even started yet!

Bombs away!
