CNN Stands By Lou Goebbels, 150%

by Riley Waggaman  2:17 pm August 4, 2009

  • High-frequency trading? Goldman Sachs? Ball’s in your court, Taibbi. [Matt Yglesias]
  • “You Want Context? Drudge Will Give You Context.” And brain herpes! [Weekly Standard]
  • Joe Biden is such a golly liberal fascist, according to liberal fascist experts. [USA Today]
  • The best part of RedState’s furry convention was when Liz Cheney gave everyone an enormous boner — as stiff as a starched collar! Who could resist doe-eyed Liz in that delicious panda bear suit? So soft. [RedState]
  • Sean Hannity is now a Texas Kentucky Colonel. [Think Progress]
  • CNN took one look at the ad Media Matters wanted to air and said, “What is this? You are not selling pills or automobiles? NO. This will not do. Air your facts on Fox.” [TPM]

Did they entrust Hannity with the the secret recipe for the fried chicken?

Liz Cheney threw out the first pitch? And kept pitching all night long?

Facts on Fox? Opinions, they got. Facts, uh…no.

Campbell Brown will be right on that Lou Dobbs thing like white on rice. No babble, no bull.

Ah, CNN. Formerly the network of Darth Vader. Now the network of Wiener Schnitzel.

Man, CNN refused to run the ad attacking Lou Dobbs and CNN, during Lou Dobbs’ show, on CNN? Who could have possibly seen this coming?

The continuing existence on this material plane of both Sean Hannity and RedState is conclusive disproof of that old “nature abhors a vacuum” theory.

Also, as Michael Steele would put it: “You want context? Drudge will give you context. Context right on your behind.”

How Jonah, the demon spawn of dirty trickster and gossip whore Lucianne Goldberg has a national column in USA Today, Ill never know. A rehash of every wingnut shot at Biden a year after he was nominated, 8 months after he was elected, riveting reading if your an Orly Taitz fan.

Fascinating that the Weekly Standard thinks Matt Drudge is holding his own against the Obama team. I mean, we remember how Drudge pwned NoBama and kept him out of the White People’s House, amirite?

Hannity is against America and socialism? I say boo.

Writing as a true, native-born Texas, I invite Hannity and Hairboy to go eat a bag of dicks. With salsa.

Jesus,does Liz Cheney know any men who aren’t made out of straw?

Seems as if ol’ Bill Clinton’s still good for something:

CNN, corporate news for the constipated toady.

No wonder thinking people get their news from Wonkette.

Anyone else think that Think Progress headline read “Governor of state where 60% voted against him in last election gives meaningless honor to professional liar from New York”. No? Because it’d be accurate.

What is this, the Riley’s Digest of Rumors on the Internets? Oh, I see. It’s quality, not quanity.
