Comments of the Week Award goes to....

Commentator Chris Muir gets my award for comments of the week:
"I must confess to enjoying this election cycle; wherein Democrats (a party whose platform is unabashedly liberal) have jettisoned the bothersome linearity of doing what one says in favor of saying what one does to a degree that makes the stiff segues to falsehoods by politicians past seem positively glacial. This distinction between theory and application seems, these days, to be minimal and without risk. Perhaps it saves them energy, not actually doing what they say. Very Green of them, very Kyoto-ish."
As for Obama:
"Obama surely must be the ne plus ultra example here, a man reflecting back whatever the voter wishes to see, despite Obama’s record of…well, his record of…something."
Of course if you depend on the MSM for your information you have no clue about what - if anything - Obama ever did. What did he do to qualify himself as savior of the nation? That doesn't matter when all you see is the reflection of what you want Obama to be.

And as for the crumbling newspaper and newsmagazine empires:
"Today, you can pick your teeth with Time magazine, and as newspapers are finding out, it’s hard to build a Fourth Estate on Fifth columns."
Hmmm. Wish I'd said that.
