Silly Person Ann Althouse Caught Being Silly Again.

I want to give proper credit. A poster on her blog said it best, regarding her froot loopy opinion of the Howard Kurtz "interview" with Politico reporters, about publishing the Herb Cain sexual harassment story. Credit goes to a person going by the handle Ritmo Re-Animated:

"Shorter Althousian narrative: "How dare you criticize or question the integrity of a Republican candidate for president?""

That pretty much sums it up, but the real silly part is the dopey assumptions she seems to be going forward from. Particularly, since when the fuck is it a journalist's duty to ONLY publish the story if all the sordid details are known? Answer. It has never fucking been so.

Likewise, since when the fuck is it the duty or even job of other jornos to "interrogate" other journos about publishing the story with out having all the sordid details? Answer. Since fucking never.

I know Althouse does not consider herself a (hack partisan wing nut) right winger/GOPer. But she seems so willing to buy into their alternative reality narrative that she might as well be wearing the t-shirt and have the membership card in her wallet.

But enough about that silly person. As I said on my FB wall last night, I find it completely odd (but I am not surprised about it) how Cain can get more popular with the base by declaring war on the news media, instead of scorched by the actual history of his own scuzzy behaviour. But that is some of what is wrong with the GOP base. They really don't give much of a fuck about certain kinds of scuzzy behaviour by their own. And they seem to hate the so-called liberal news media so much that they get off on seeing some asshole fucktard like Cain growling and snarling at reporters. Seems very fucking sick to me. Not that I think the news media is beyond criticism. Then again my criticism is more about how the news media pull their punches too much. That's my take. So the phenomenon of people going all batshit on the news media for dogging folk is an insane thing to me.

That's their fucking job! To dog people. And they frequently do not dog folk hard enough. But those wing nuts do get it. Some of them are still whining about how P. Obama was not properly vetted. But what those fucktards don't get it, no one really cared much about Bill Ayers, or Rev. Wright. Now if there was a juicy sexual harassment story that had actual minimal factual basis back in P. Obama's past? Now that would have been a story with legs. But when it was all said and done, there really was not much in Obama's closet. Same can not be said about Herb Cain.

Anyway, I am sick of Insane Cain. And I am sick of fucking GOPers. And people who are not, but play one on TV. Or on the Internet.
