MetaNews -- Tastes "Great," Less Filling

I am watching Campbell Brown on CNN. She hosts "CNN Election Center," a typically insipid political chat show. I am watching her discuss Barack Obama's trip right now. So, does his trip lend itself a substantive discussion of the deteriorating political and security situation in Afghanistan? Of course not. She just spent fifteen minutes on whether the trip itself is a "photo-op."

To provide insightful analysis, she has on some doofus named Lars Larson, who is a fill-in host for Michael Savage, who is busy spending his days "savaging" kids with autism. Along with him on the panel are sone weak-wristed liberal kid and Gloria Borger, who is made up like an urban geisha. It is all whether Obama or McCain are "winning" or "losing" based on the "fawning" Obama is receiving for his trip. In fact, towards the end of the program, there was a five minute piece on how much of a "photo op" the trip was.

There was not any reporting on the hours and hours of substantive discussion between Obama, Kharzai, Maliki, Petreaus, Crocker, etc. Too challenging for Brown and the circus of intellectually deformed misfits she surrounds herself with.

"They're fawning all over him," Brown kept screeching periodically. Or she would spit out that Obama was on his "world adventure." Adventure? Going to Jalalabad, an increasingly dangerous region near the Pakistan border, to meeting with regional Afghan leaders and military officials is like hiking the Appalachian trail.

Conservative connections? She screws Dan Senor, former Coalition Provisional Authority spokesperson, routinely. Not a big deal since they are married. But, you are what you eat. If I am what I eat, I just became a handful of spanish nuts.

There is little doubt that Ms. Brown's thinly veiled contempt arises from the notion that Obama is too "uppity." And, thus, standing up for all misunderestimated grads of schools like hers, Regis University (whose sister school for women is of course called, the Lee Griffith Women's College).
