Oh….my…God! I was laughing so much in my car yesterday. I had to go into work at 4:30 pm, but hung in the car for as long as I could, as 2nd hour, Hugh Hewitt had an interview with the venerable old fossil, Helen Thomas. You could call it the comedy hour (the first hour with Lawrence O’Donnell could be characterized as much the same, too). I wrote Generalissimo last night, begging for an audio, and *presto*: It’s up at Radioblogger, along with transcript. Sometimes wishes do come true!
This interchange between Hugh and Helen is a good peek into the mind of not only an irrelevant old relic of a bygone journalistic era, but also of a moonbat journalistic elite, who fails to understand the nature of partisan journalism as it applies in the 21st century, where media bias is more clearly evident in contrast to the conservative outlets of blogs and talk radio.
A must listen. Go listen now, and report back here! More on Lawrence O’Donnell from Hugh: Here and here.
(Picture of Helen is just for you, Gayle!).
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
Man, you have got to put some kind of content warning or something when you post a picture like that. I am so going to have nightmares tonight because of that. Yikes!!!
Wow is right. Too bad these ‘journalists’ can’t be this obsessed and agressive to get a real story like, oh I don’t know, maybe the UN Oil for Food scandal or why all these churches in the south are being burnt down? AND, how can ANYONE who admits they hate the war this much think that the rest of us could trust their ‘unbias’ take on that very WAR!????
I say throw all these press people out of the room and take new applications. Much like Regan did to the ‘we are indespensible’ air traffic controllers in the 80’s. Show em!!! Hugh is the MAN! Thanks
