Reminds me of mean dog that used to roam the neighborhood. Stand up to thing and it runs away with its tail between its legs, let it intimidate you and it owns you.

McCain is doing exactly that to the press (and lets be honest, for the most part they are either working for the repuglicans through Faux or Clear Channel or are complete hacks and pussies.... sorry guys and gals, you are... please prove me wrong).

A real journalist would bristle right back at the old curmudgeon for ducking a legit question by threatening to throw a temper tantrum.

what, me proof read something.

This is classic manufactured outrage over a straw-man (or straw-woman) bull excrement masquerading as some sort of serious discussion.

These people represent no one, are not opinion leaders and do not represent anything more than a couple of people spouting off.

Tom Green has an internet talk show with all kinds of weirdoes appearing on regular basis. Why not highlight one of those pieces of work as representing a real movement or someone with something worthwhile to say? Better yet, local cabal access has some old lady that seems to think that woman who are on their period are possessed by demons. You should do a piece on her and imply that it is a serious topic that needs wider discussion.

And to make matters worse, you position it on the home page as a real story??!!!!

There are a lot of important issues that have relevance to most people. The next time you give up on finding one of those stories I suggest you take an online pole of your readers and find out what they want to hear about. Issues or bull crap.

Why?, Why Salon do you continue to torture your readers with... stuff.

I know, you're getting back at us for writing all those less than flattering letters!

But please, let's have some proportionality. Force feeding us six pages of Paglia is like boiling someone in lead for tracking mud on your carpet.

Oh, the humanity...

his opposition the GI bill.

Let him explain his flawed (and identical to bush and cheney) logic on this one.

it has gone unmentioned that many of the votes Hillary was getting in the last half of the primary, when she decided to go scorched-earth, were republicans voting in the Democratic primary hoping to cause as much damage to the Obama campaign as possible.

Since the current scenario is quite different it is doubtful that McCain would pick up any voters who were not going to vote for him in the first place.

But hey, who am I to offer advice... maybe he should adopt a losing strategy and see if he can make it work??

Your post is almost as funny as the Daily show clip.. and right on que.

I'm quite sure most other Faux news ditto heads would enjoy the coverage of Obama's trip if Faux was doing all the coverage and asking all the questions.

I'll set up the right wing's vision of "fair and balanced" coverage of our next presidents visit to the Middle East:

Faux news hack:

...ahhmmm Mr. Osoma, why do you hate America!!???

Future president Obama:

My love for my country is only exceeded by desire and ability to make it better.

Faux news hack:

...even though your wife is a muslim whore baby machine who is filled with hate, we want to know if you have stopped beating her yet!!

and so on, and so on...

but you don't need me, just tune in Faux news and your can read those accusations scroll accross the bottom of the screan as empty headed media whors posture about who is more patriotic, the guy who wears 20 flag pins while driving his SUV, or the oil executive who gold plated his bathroon (and house and yard) and has a likeness of the American flag cut into his golden yard (by illegial Mexican workers).

Ahhh Faux news..

Its a little early to call McCain dead...

errr unless he actually dropped dead from old age a few weeks and no one noticed.

But seriously, its too early and too much can go wrong. The repuglicans have their own tv-network (Faux) and radio network (clear channel) who will be putting out smear and misinformation all the way to end.

Speaking of the end... The old fairness doctrine. When the FCC reinstates it what will happen to clear channel, Rush, and the rest of right wing blowhards?

I think the BillOs and ditto heads in the media will quickly die off. Faux on the other hand, as Rupert Murdock has shown in the past, will simply change their political stance to some new gimmick because Faux news' support of right wing politics was always a business tactic and not truly political. Rupert Murdock doesn't give a rats ass if all of the US goes up in flames as long as he gets his cash.

Throw another shrimp on the barby...

that as ignorant an analysis of the situation that Bush uttered at that event I'm sure he was just repeating what he heard one of the right wing nut jobs he employs say.

Bush has no opinion on the economy. His knowledge of economics starts and ends with daddy bailing his ass out.

He truly is an empty shirt.
