The One may not be questioned: Tone deaf does not describe the Obama administration. I think the word we’re looking for is hubris. Because not only is Obama going to ignore a Republican victory in Massachusetts, but he’s going to claim the mantle of underdog on Obamacare. Yes, really. Time for a chorus of: Seriously? I mean, seriously? Is our Congress and administration so arrogant that they will continue to ignore the will of the people until they’re all voted out of office?
Biased headline of the week: And the award goes to—the Boston Herald. Scott Brown backers fear zombies. The story? Brown supporters are worried that Dems will cheat by using the names of dead people to cheat the vote. Because, like, that’s never happened before. But hey, the Herald gets to slam conservatives and Scott Brown while belittling a real concern. It’s a win-win for Big Journo. (Interesting side-note: The Herald’s online poll is predicting a Brown victory. Click the page link and view the poll.)
Iran ordered the Jordan convoy hit: Gee. The Iranians tried to murder Israelis. Big surprise. Okay, no, it’s not. Neither is the fact that Iranian diplomats may have smuggled in the explosives. Iran has used diplomatic cover for terrorists for years.
Darn it! No supermosque in London: I know you’ll all be very disappointed to hear that the giant mosque, planned for the 2012 Olympics, is not going to be built in London after all. Watch for the newest cry of “Islamophobia” to spring up, even though the reason the mosque is canceled is because the builders never submitted the requested planning documents.
I thought the Herald was Boston’s version of the NY Post – more conservative politically than the NYT/Boston Globe (I think the Globe is owned by the NYT) but also more tabloid/sensationalistic. That might explain the “zombie” headline more than anti-Brown bias; after all the substance does not reflect well on the Democrats.
In our country we have saying: If a Republican were to get elected mayor of Chicago, the voters would turn over in their graves!
