| Media guilt plays well for Obama and McCain |
| 2008-07-23 |
| McCain is now cast as the crabby uncle who visits and shrieks there's no gin in your house. He grabs the TV remote control, turns off the cartoons and forces the kids to watch the ancient Mesopotamia special on The History Channel. Meanwhile, the Democrat Obama is treated quite differently. He's the Mr. Tumnus of American politics, the gentle forest faun of Narnia, with throngs of reporters trembling to sit with him at tea and cakes, like the little girl in the C.S. Lewis story, as he plays the flute, chanting "We Are The Change We've Been Waiting For." And nobody laughs. You don't laugh because you can't make fun of Obama. The ground would swallow you whole. |

| #1 "TV anchors were all but ululating (which has nothing to do with sex) at his approach, desperate for interviews after he sank that three-point shot in front of American troops and hit nothing but net. Who needs foreign policy expertise when you're so cool, you risk a three-point shot and make it on camera?" This guy nails it - ans skewers DailyKos leftists who want him beaten up for his criticism of Obama and the press fawning. |
