The media hate Republicans. Yet the media literally bring donuts to the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain. The fact would seem to militate against the premise. Unless of course we write for Townhall.
Will Obama’s coronation by the national news media continue unabated? To understand the press, you must properly characterize it. The press is not liberal, so much as it is deontologic, that is, idealistic. It expects people to behave the way they’re suppose to, not as they actually do. And who’s to disagree, this is what the press is suppose to do — hold us to a higher standard.
And the press are “infracanineophiles,” which as my high school English teacher delighted in emphasizing is Latin for people who root for the underdog. When McCain was the perceived underdog against Romney on 2008 or Bush in 2000, there was absolutely nothing wrong he could do. Bush, particularly in South Carolina, was the big, bad guy. [Again, very sic -- Thers] But now McCain is the presumptive nominee, he couldn’t get positive ink if he danced an Irish jig on his fingertips.
I am a fan of several sports teams on the college and professional levels. It is an extremely interesting phenomenon, but in each contest between the teams that I favor and their opponents, the referees always seem to favor their opponents. It’s weird. The Latin term for this perception is “wanking.”
I myself would quite enthusiastically ejaculate copious positive ink on even a halfhearted attempt on the part of Senator McCain to dance an Irish jig on his fingertips, however, and that is a solemn promise from me to you.
This sort of thing is utterly mad, and yet utterly representative of where Conservative Thought is at the moment — stuck not so much in Plato’s cave, as in his outhouse.
