Steve Doocy Is Worst Offender In ‘Lamestream Media,’ Always

by Jim Newell  

Steve Doocy and Fox & Friends are on someone’s shit list for this very liberal caption. HINT: this someone is an idiot snowbilly grifter.

MEDIA MATTERS has its latest very liberal scoop:

On last night’s Hannity, Fox News contributor Sarah Palin did what she does best-complain about the “lamestream media throughout our country.” This time, the media’s “lame[ness]” was revealed through their coverage of Arizona’s new controversial immigration law. Palin sniffed: “One of the media outlets the other day just-was killing me on this one, Sean, where they had a caption across their screen that said Arizona law will make it illegal to be an illegal immigrant? Some bizarre type of headline like that where it was just this illustration that they just don’t get it.”

This is what happens when your network’s news strategy is, “throw a bunch of idiots in a room, see if anything coherent emerges.”

We’re sorry for even writing this post, really. It’s just Sarah Palin, right? Who cares?

Dang! I thought that her concern was about the big word on the second line.

Man that is just something special right there.

It’s easier to wrap your mind around Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake, absent Campbells Skeleton Ke,y than 56 words from the Grifter Queen.

We can take consolation in the probability that, halfway through her Faux News contract, Mooselini will quit.

donner_froh April 28, 2010 at 4:26 pm

Who does she have feeding her lines? Bozo the clown?

Monsieur Grumpe April 28, 2010 at 4:26 pm

Oooooooh Rupert is gonna be maaaaaaaaaad.

justthisonce April 28, 2010 at 4:27 pm

Oh, the irony, it hurts! Where would she *think* she saw that caption? I’m sure she only watches Faux.

JMP April 28, 2010 at 4:28 pm

She’s still spouting out the “lamestream media” line. I knew she was stupid, but it takes a special kind of dumb to keep thinking that kind of pun is actually funny.

Sometimes I suspect that Fox hired Sarah to make the rest of their line up look smart by comparison.

foulmouthed mrscreant April 28, 2010 at 4:28 pm

I can actually hear her whine “lamestream media” and even though she isn’t saying it (except for in my head), my ears are BLEEEDING!

V572625694 April 28, 2010 at 4:29 pm

WTF? Isn’t she a W2 employee of Faux News? Fire her saggy ass, Rupert!

LittlePig April 28, 2010 at 4:29 pm

How about we make parking violations illegal to be illegal and cold start locking up folks that don’t keep that parking meter fulla change? Snowbilly Grifter would be A-OK with that one, right?

SayItWithWookies April 28, 2010 at 4:30 pm

Oh, it’s not just Sarah Palin — Glenn Beck was all over a similar headline this morning on his radio show and used almost the exact same language. Of course, he’s got a whole “gets it” motif in his talk, which is where Palin acquired it. Beck’s “he/she gets it” is his highest level of folksy endorsement. Anyway, Beck doesn’t get it when people he says don’t get it actually get it but pretend they don’t get it. Get it?

slappypaddy April 28, 2010 at 4:31 pm

“In other news, Sean, and this is killin’ me, this one, a woman in Alaska, like the mayor or something, pretended to have a retarded baby to gin up support from pro-life goobers. Wait, what? That was me?”

If any one else was using the term “lame” all the time like she does, she would be feigning indignation on behalf of her lamebrain kid.

[re=566517]Limeylizzie[/re]: Yay, some good news! Too bad it comes just as the Supreme Court decides it’s going to give up on the whole enforcement of the First Amendment thing.

Some blogger (Klein maybe?) was predicting they’d cave because McConnell was afraid in would interfere with his Derby action; wonder if that’s true.

mumblyjoe April 28, 2010 at 4:53 pm

Of course the irony –though, since it’s coming from lying manipulative assholes, it probably doesn’t qualify as ‘irony’ any more– is that “Illegal to be Illegal” is a lede that’s being used exclusively by right-wing hacks, in order to downplay the actually controversial and threatening parts of the bill. They’re aiming it at people who will respond, “Well, duh, of course that makes sense, then. So why all the big deal?”

[re=566500]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
It make’s sense, to me.


Does it to you?

bruiser April 28, 2010 at 4:54 pm

Mama always said, “Illegal is as illegal does.”

SayItWithWookies April 28, 2010 at 4:54 pm

[re=566517]Limeylizzie[/re]: Holy shit! That’s what happens when Reid threatens to keep them on the floor on church night, I guess. On the grim side, that means we have only 30 hours of debate and amendments, a floor vote and two cloture votes to go — before the bill goes to the joint committee and the Senate starts the process all over again. It’s like solving a corner of a really hard crossword puzzle — for all the sense of accomplishment, you realize there’s a lot more left, and little or nothing that you just did is going to help you with the rest of it. Sorry, it’s been one of those days.

TakingAmes April 28, 2010 at 4:56 pm

Dreamer April 28, 2010 at 4:58 pm

I am guessing in no time Trig will be smarter than her. What kind of a governor uses stupid taunt words like “lamestream media”. Alaska should be ashamed for inflicting this moron on the nation.

mumblyjoe April 28, 2010 at 4:58 pm

[re=566517]Limeylizzie[/re]: It seems to me Republicans kinda painted themselves into a corner. If they kept up the filibuster, they would have been the defenders of Everything that is Wrong With Wall Street, in the face of overwhelming populist anger on that front. And would have had that to look foward to in November.

But, now, instead, they’re just a buncha pussies. Lose-lose, really.

She missed the big news. The subhead refers to “Arizona’s Controversial Immigration Law.” So FOX is ADMITTING it’s open for debate? Otherwise, wouldn’t they have called it “Arizona’s Super-fantastic Immigration Law,” or something equally Snowbillyish?

Snowbilly also referred to the governor of Arizona as the CED of that state which sounds better than something bureacratic like ‘governor’.

That’s where his plan hits a wall, though, because he either furthers her whiny ass victimhood by suing for it, thus alienating the base by being the ‘bad guy’, or he fails to sue her for it, breaking the victimhood charade and loosing the attention of the base.

Win-win.

Palin is stuck not with the vocabulary of a 14 year old boy, but with the vocabulary of the sainted Trigger; a very special 2 year old boy. Seeing as he does not yet possess the gift of speech he speaks thru his equally saintly mother Sarah.

Republican secretary of state candidate Kris Kobach not only helped write Arizona’s new immigration law, but he has been working for $300 per hour to train law enforcement officers there on procedures in arresting suspected illegal immigrants.
