The New York Times: fair, balanced, and unafraid.

related: Overheard at a Manhattan cocktail party:
Man: “How many hicks does it take to screw in a lightbulb?”
Woman: “I don’t know. How many?”
Second woman: ” — Excuse me, I’m sorry to interrupt. Consuela, dear? We’re running low on crab puffs again. Go fetch another tray and make the rounds again, would you?
“Now where were we. Oh yes. Hicks. Do tell, how many of them does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Because I suspect it would be plenty, given that they’re so, you know, stupid and poorly groomed.”
I smell lawsuit – a class action on behalf of snaggle-tooth retards living in trailers. I bet we can include the back-woods inbred hicks, too!
According to The Big Book of British Smiles, abstractus dentalis is a sign of intelligence.
Was that second woman Megan McArdle? ‘Cause she sparked a full-scale commentor revolt by asking whether anyone could explain their opposition to the immigration debate in terms that didn’t turn into "But the Mexicans are brown."
I thought at first it might be a Wonkette-style attention grab. But she could’ve just posted some suggestive pictures of girl-on-girl for that.
As the Godfather would say, “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold”. The Times and its fellow travelers are cooling to perfection.
As the Blogfather would say, “Heh.”
I would not be surprised if Ace’s photo suggestions aren’t used by the Times sometime in the near future. Without any irony whatsoever.
How many hicks does it take to screw in a light bulb?Two, but they have to be really small.
At first glance it looked like my Uncle Danny, but the article didn’t mention any shooting or drunken hollering
I’m surprised they didn’t Photochop a klan hat and a couple swastika tattoos on the guy.
Hey, how can you you all knock the Manhattan Cocktail circuit, after all they are "pregressive" enough to understand that mobile homes have light-bulbs or at least the one in the Rockford Files did.
“I think it is discriminatory to say all toothless people who represent controversial positions shouldn’t be used,†she said… That is a very special kind of obliviousness, right there.
That op-ed from the Observer reads that "conservative" had been demoniacally possessed by Paul Erlich.
