The Morning After

.

Stephanopoulos on Imus this morning saying: "It's our job to ask the tough questions."

Okay, George, that's the benchmark. We'll look forward to hearing "the tough questions" of Bush authorizing and his Principals micromanaging torture. Bush lying us into a war that has now cost over 4000 lives and driven our economy into a tailspin. McCain pushing a "gas tax" holiday instead of going after the profiteers who are gouging us at the gas pump. Did Cokie have a nice ride with Bushie to meet the.... oh, wait, how did that one get in there?

Tough is in the eye of the beholder, and we'll be holding Stephanopoulos to that standard. Gibson, who 'way back told us where he was coming from when he said his "news" show wouldn't cover the Libby trial because it was too complicated and gave him a header, is so totally self-absorbed in his greatness and totally UNself-aware in his incompetence that we will henceforth ignore.

Meanwhile, Imus and Snuffalufagous totally ignoring the turd in the punchbowl--which in this case is the firestorm of outrage about their ghastly, slanted trivializing of the vital issues of these times into a reenactment of The Gong Show. With no insult meant to gongs.

How odd.

Oh, wait. Imus is simulcast on RFD-TV and WABC Radio. 'nuff said.

UPDATE: And then Jeff Greenfield, in a later morning appearance on Imus at RFD-TV added that he didn't understand what all the fuss was about because "ACE*" "news" man Charles Gibson was just asking the questions that the Republicans would be pushing in months ahead.

Here's a tough question for all these guys, but especially ACE*: Since when is it the job of debate moderators/"news"people to become partisan hitmen for the corrupt Republican campaign committee?

* ACE = arrogant, condescending, elitist
