The clanging sound you hear is the trad press beating an empty bucket with their shiny new hammers

Get a load of this lead from AP’s Deb Reichmann. Under the headline:

Rove keeps up heat on Clinton

(I know, I know, the editors write the headlines, and they’re even worse than the stenographers) we get this hacktacular lead:

HELLMOUTH CRAWFORD, Texas - Master GOP strategist Karl Rove won’t let up in his attacks on Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton, but the intriguing question is why.

No, that’s not the intriguing question at all.

The intriguing question is what that’s the narrative you guys in the trad press is pushing. This campaign is going to make 2004 and 2000 look like paragons of journalistic integrity.

Reach me that bucket, wouldja hon? [Damn. Deb Reichmann’s grabbed it. I needed it, too. O-h-h-h-h….]

yes, thanks for pointing this out

the SCLM cannot help but treat KKKarl like a demigod, and it’s no surprise unreality like this warrants column space. as someone recently asked me: why hillary? karl could’ve gone after anyone, what does it mean that this is the distraction they want to fill our heads with?

Simple answers to simple questions

They want to cement her front runner status. Best way to do that is energize what they presume to be her base with an attack.

Eh?

Also, I bet they just hate her personally.

We. Are. Going. To. Die. We must restore hope in the world. We must bring forth a new way of living that can sustain the world. Or else it is not just us who will die but everyone. What have we got to lose? Go forth and Fight!—Xan
