   God, I love that picture. Always makes me laugh.

   From the GOP perspective, it makes perfect sense to continue the current stenographer’s role of the journalist. It’s been working for the past 30 years — if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?

   Give the trikesters credit for this much: they realize that if journalists actually start to think rather than just transcribe, the right wing is in dire straits.

   I’m just surprised that the NY Times Public Editor actually called it “truth” and not “enhanced narration.”

   Hearing Hugh Hewitt batter some journalist about this on his radio show today, made me think any self-proclaimed journalist who would go on that maniac’s show and treat him with anything less than unbridled hostility should have their press pass revoked.

     To paraphrase: Any decent journalist will have a record of being invited on Hugh Hewitt’s radio progam. Once.

     (I don’t know who said the original, it’s at least a century old, and I turned the insult around from the guest to the host.)

   Here’s the Conservatives definition of a ‘good journalist’:
   A cheap stenographer, who’s also great a fellatio.

   “Are you getting all of thi… Oh, ooh, oooooh… Take it all, BEYOTCH!!!”

   Here’s my motto for today’s meme-based “journalism”:
   ‘All The News That’s Print To Fit.’
