Dammit, media, stop talking about Vick!
He pled guilty. He's going to jail. I don't care about Michael Vick anymore.

I think the media's using the Vick story to break up the coverage of Gonzo's resignation, so it doesn't get so many eyeballs. I want to see Gonzo squirm!!!

I just remembered this old article from the Huffington Post: Paris is Push, Baghdad is Pull

2. What More Is Ther e To Say About Gonzo???
Other than don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

I'm glad this resignation happened this early...it means Jon Stewart should have some excellent coverage tonight.

Like the corporate media would honestly analyize what this crook did? I'm already hearing the violins playing...how sad it is that "Gonzo was forced out". No mention of his criminality. Maybe its best we're not hearing the usual three Repugnican stenographers give their "expert anal-isis"

7. Now I Don't Feel So Bad...
I'm planned on being in New York this week and tried to get Daily Show tix. I got an email back saying there are no more tickets available until next year. Now I don't feel so pissed I couldn't get in to see the show.

I think this game has been in the works for a while. Note that Rove also called it quits on a Monday...get it out of the way by the end of the week so other spinning can be done on the Sunday Stenographer sessions.

    9. You forgot Clause 2, subsection A:
    Edited on Mon Aug-27-07 10:26 AM by blondeatlast
    News of war, devastation, and horrendous industrial or infrastructure failures must be immediately interrupted by on-the-scene coverage of excetionally fortunate princesses' releases from unfortumate incarceration. This section specifically EXCLUDES princesses whose names are Jenna and Barbara Bush. Absolutely no other exceptions are permmitted.

    8. I never cared about Vick
    Despicable human yes, but hardly worth the huge press he's gotten. If the MSM were as in-depth on Gonzo, I would be ecstatic.
