09/16/2004: "Bemused"
The fact that I'm voting for someone other than George Bush or John Kerry
gives me an interesting perspective on current events. One that can best
be described as bemusement.
Take, for example, Rathergate. Now, if you're pro-Bush, then Rathergate
just confirms your suspicions that the media (with the exception of those
brilliant patriots at FOX News) is controlled by Communists who have had
it in for Bush since before he was born. Hell, our good friend, Michelle
Malkin's panties are completely soaked with glee over this debacle as is
evident in her most recent column - which for some reason appears on the
Jewish World Review site. Happy Rosh Hashanah, Michelle.
By the way, many of you will, I'm sure, be pleased to lean that Ms. Malkin
and I have decided to put away our differences and collaborate on a book
about 18th century gilded harpsichord technique. The book, which will be
published by Random House, this winter, is called Please pluck my
yellow virginal.
If you're pro-Kerry, well I guess you're not saying much of anything -
which has also been Kerry's strategy throughout this campaign. What you're
probably thinking is "Damn, I know those documents looked too good to
be true.". Which brings me to CBS…
Being neither pro-Bush nor pro-Kerry, the only reaction that I've been able
to muster is "Shit, Luther, I'm all for hiring the handicapped and what
not, but does CBS really need an entire news department comprised solely of
retards?"
Hey, at least once a week someone tries to sell me a forged Bush National
Guard document like this one.
Now, if I have yet to fall for this trick, you'd think the folks over CBS
wouldn't have either. But the real question here is why has it taken the
media so long to look into Bush's National Guard service? See, this is
what happens when you try to play catch up, you get sloppy.
