ASSorted media follies.

Bush mangles yet another metaphor. This time, an optimist is a "half-glass-full" kinda guy - like Dick Cheney!!!

The Savage Weiner lives up to his reputation here. On his show Thursday, he first tries to explain why the Democrats are "attacking" Barack Obama: If the media attacks Obama, Hillary gets to go "under the radar." Unfortunately, the right-wing media are the ONLY ones reporting it as true. Why would they help Hillary? (For Obama's part, he's done a good job at deflecting this shitstorm.) But Weiner doesn't stop there; oh no, that would never do. He then completely lashes out at a true American patriot - Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) - telling him, amongst other things, "screw you, you jealous loser" and "go to hell," "dirty socialist"!!!

On Hardball Thursday: "too elitist" Hillary can't carry the mountain states, but McCain "matches the state [of Nevada] to a great degree" because they are "individualistic" and "mavericks by nature".

Bill O'Reilly, as could by now be expected, again refers to Iraqis and Iranians as "savages" who "have fun" "blow[ing] each other up" and "tortur[ing] each other". This freak is doing more damage to the international reputation of the citizens of the United States than most others.

Last but not least... Sean Hannity, on his Fox News show "Hannity's America," plans to air content (if not footage) from the deleted scenes of ABC's docu-fantasy "The Path to 9/11". In a bitter twist of irony for Hannity, his fill-in host on Hannity & Colmes last Friday, Chuck Norris (try not to laugh too hard), actually thinks it is wrong for such footage to have been in the film if it is inaccurate. I'm sure Hannity would disagree.
