Art Imitates Life: The Sequel

From Jammie Wearing Fool via Hot Air, we get this scary thought put to video:



Maybe it's a series of coincidences, or maybe it's more like a case where great minds -- nah, make that birds of a feather -- think alike. But I have noticed how the mainstream media has manipulated the electoral process from the get-go this year. (Don't believe me? Ron Paul did better than Rudy Guiliani in Iowa. When they went off to New Hampshire, who do you think got a lot more press than the other one? I'll give you a hint; it didn't prevent him from dropping out while the other hung in there, how's that?)

Will this election year witness the ultimate victory of style over substance? Are voters (besides Oprah) really that gullible? If they can elect, and then re-elect, a man who lies through his teeth in front of them (that would be Clinton), and if his wife has even a ghost of a chance of winning after being in cahoots with some of his shenanigans (that would be all that "thirty-five years of experience" she's been touting)... well, what the hell's wrong with you people anyway???

It's too bad about The West Wing. I actually liked that show. Then around the sixth season when they started talking about an election campaign, the writing got worse, and it really got boring.

Sort of adds new meaning to the term "lame duck," don't you think?

Or don't you?
