Stumble It!
Even as Tiny campaigns for supper atop Gomer and "Bush Faults WWII Legacy in E. Europe," Frank "bloggers are on the rampage" Rich and his ilk desperately head for the lifeboats as the MSM luxury liner sinks into the deep blue sea.
"An example of this is Frank Rich's cheap shot at Ron Silver as a 'C-list publicity hound' (therefore presumably not entitled to public interest in his opinions) in this morning's NYT," writes Roger L. Simon re the blindsided left's puerile attempts to maintain their dignity in the onslaught of all evidence to the contrary:
One of the fascinating things about our post 9-11 world is the contortions people go through to make life conform to their view of reality. This is particularly true of highly traditional media . . . junk term alert . . . liberals. They have been confronted with a situation in which they are no longer always on the side of "good," as they grew up thinking they were . . . with the growth of democracy in the Middle East, these same liberals find themselves even more beleaguered, hoping, consciously or unconconsciously, for more violence or failure in Iraq as justification for their reactionary positions.
We had stopped short, breathless, at that same "C-list publicity hound" cheap shot Rich aimed at Ron Silver when we attempted to read his pouty screed earlier today [via Lucianne (we NEVER read Rich at home)]. About 2/3 of the way through, we had had enough, clicked the x in the upper right corner of the Internet Explorer window and surfed away. Like banging your head against the wall, reading Frank Rich feels so good when you stop.
Update: Conservative Cat Ferdinand is hosting the 59th Carnival of the Cats, "the only carnival devoted entirely to superior life forms."
We should never knowingly purchase the goods of those who advertise in the NYT.

What is wrong with being a "C-list publicity hound"? Most of us can only aspire to be that.

Hmmm - wonder what he'd say about someone like me? I don't even get to the E-list level... publicity hound that I am. *grin*
