A Demonic Hookup

Play this while you read, and I don't wanta hear no jokes about social diseases or All-U-Can-Eat Burrito Nite. Those things are sacred...

Thanks to dreamsforevr.


P.M. Carpenter with a good read on Moosebreath's inevitable deal with F**Noise and the state of what passes for journalism these days:

As a new Fox News employee, her first words were a devilishly playful Fox News lie:

"It’s wonderful," said Sarah Palin in announcing her done deal and upcoming gig, "to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news."

The easy deconstruction of that calculated disdain is that, unmistakably, even Ms. Palin knows a schoolyard taunt from an advertising slogan, what with those double-barreled adjectives coming complete with vivid Bronx cheer and middle-digit gesture.

Welcome to our twisted snare, she was knowingly saying, where Arbeit Macht Frei. Yes, an excellent joke, Frau Palin; for you it is, I'm sure, quite wonderful indeed.

The former Alaska governor as "commentator," on the other underhand, drops us yet one more one hellish circle.

My dear Prof. Starr, I can only add that the James Callenders of yesteryear and even latter-day Westbrook Peglers were sublime models of informed bias compared to the abjectly clueless Sarah Palin.

But, as the mass-marketing genius of Roger Ailes understands, she's the new standard of huge ratings and towering profits; through that silvery electronic eye, one idiot talking to millions of idiots, reaffirming every conceivable prejudice born of profound density.

My take on Palin at F**? An even more ignorant Coultergeist with no Adam's apple and a nice rack.
