NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd:

Beginning Tuesday night and extending at least midway through Wednesday, you'll have to forgive those of us in the media if you hear us humming the song "You're So Vain." The Clintons will probably think this convention's about them.

The fuck I will forgive you.

Of Course the Clinton Think the Convention Is About Them

By BDBlue on Tue, 08/26/2008 - 7:29pm

people like Chuck Todd won't stop talking about them.

It all reminds me of a scene from Soap Dish after Kevin Kline finds Sally Field (doing a fantastic Susan Lucci) hanging from a drain pipe outside his hotel window.

Celeste: Even for and actor you're an egomaniac.

Jeffrey: Of course I'm an egomaniac. I've got America's Sweetheart climbing up my drain pipe.

And beginning some time ago

By illusionofjoy on Tue, 08/26/2008 - 8:36pm

And beginning some time ago until the second Tuesday after the end of eternity, those in the media will have to forgive me for telling them to suck my left one.

Projection

Because the media think everything's about them and their reaction to it (forget reporting) and they love Obama who thinks everything is about him.

The Fuck?!

Yeah, saw part of the Joe Scarborough video, today. I'm not a fan of Joe, but even less a fan of Schuster, who IMO should have gotten his ass kicked so very long ago. He is smug personified.

I like it that many of them aren't pretending, anymore.

But, we've always been at war with Eastasia...

well, that's pretty plain

sexism never does die, i guess. funny enough, the song is actually about a man's vanity, or so i'm told. i guess the SCLM doesn't know that.

Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
