BS ON 24-HOUR CABLE NEWS

From The Onion. Far too close to the reality.

H/T to Juan Cole.

AN EVENING WITH CABLE NEWS

In the evening, you generally will not find me watching the cable news shows, but tonight I decided to tune in. On Lawrence O'Donnell's show, I heard Ann Coulter compare Mitt Romney to a Ken doll. I made the same comparison a few weeks ago. To discover that my mind runs on the same track as Coulter was sobering, indeed.

Then I saw a clip of the old interview with Mitt, in which Chris Wallace questioned him about riding his dog Seamus on the roof of his station wagon, 'What were you thinking?' Romney said that the kennel in which his Irish setter rode was air tight, and the dog loved riding in it and jumped right up and into the kennel when they were ready to roll. The dog was so happy that he pooped, and the poop ran right down the back window of the vehicle. Presumably, the kennel allowed Seamus to breathe, because the poor setter survived the trip.

I think I'll go back to not watching cable news.

UPDATE: Ann V sent me the link to the Dogs Against Romney website. In their store, the group sells clever t-shirts, bumper stickers, and more. A selection from the bumper stickers say:

Mitt is Mean
Crate-Gate
Get "Ruff" with Romney

Click on the shirt for the larger view.

I fear Romney will lose the dog vote, along with the dog lovers vote.

And one more thing: 'The Saturday Night Live' video.
