‘A’ Students in a Criminal Class

Melanie tipped me to this Bob Somerby assault on the Beltway bobbleheads. You really do have to read the whole thing to get the context, but I especially liked this part:
This group’s capacity for projection is astounding. After all, it wasn’t the Clintons who said Gore “invented the Internet;” it was them, the mainstream press corps! And it wasn’t the Clintons who “beat” Gore in Campaign 2000; it was them, the mainstream press corps, with their nasty, two-year War Against Gore—the war good careerists can never acknowledge. But so what? On Sunday, they imagined Clinton mocking Gore about the Net—and they said that Gore doesn’t want to run for the White House because the Clintons will play so dirty! But then, these are nasty, evil people. They exist to destroy your democracy. They are paid to dismantle your lives.
Read this program’s entire transcript and marvel at this cohort’s conduct. Needless to say, Matthews continues his endless insults against Clinton, calling her “Madame DeFarge” again. (Click here for an explication by Media Matters—from April 2005!) But especially note the way this group spins the U.S. attorney dispute. Why bother having a five-member panel? In the discussion of this matter, all five pundits echo the current GOP talking-points. They picture the Democrats pursuing this matter for partisan reasons alone; no other possible motive is mentioned. And they all agree that the Dems should be careful about taking this witch-hunt too far.
This is a nasty, criminal class. They’re determined to take apart your democracy. (Make no mistake: Jack Welch knew what he was getting when he hired his disordered boy.) And no, they don’t care about health care or warming. They already have excellent health care. Regarding warming, if their grandchildren die in the storm, they don’t care. In truth, their kind never will.
Man, when Somersby delivers a rant, he REALLY delivers it.
Matthews and all those wretches he has on his show really need new shoes. Made from cement.
Someone pointed out a week or two ago just how ludicrous the notion of folks rising up and marching on the white house with pitchforks to razz the place and remove the evil is. Like some old Wobblie nailing a black cat to the door, what with security and apathy and just plain (willful) ignorance, it’s just not gonna’ happen.
On the otherhand, I’d actually watch if that Kouric whore - your know, the one who had the temerity to continue working while her “husband” was dying of cancer - were visited by a hoard of outraged rope and pitchfork bearing voters demanding that she answer a few questions.
