From TNR:
On Sunday night, it seemed pretty clear that Britney Spears’ performance at the MTV awards ceremony was the biggest prime-time fiasco of the week. Then came Thursday night and President Bush’s Oval Office address on Iraq. At first blush, coverage of the white trash kid turned tabloid fodder and the rich kid turned good ol’ boy would seem to have little in common (besides, of course, the four years of high-profile futility that followed the respective 2003 triumphs of Spears’ In the Zone album and Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” speech). But what’s astonishing is the similarities in this week’s coverage of the two fallen ingenues.
Hey–speaking of fallen ingenues, what’s Franklin Foer hearing from Scott Beauchamp these days? Smell tests: TNR apparently doesn’t have a clue how bad their shit stinks, Fricative Fricative Foetid F*ckers.
Nor will they get a clue until it becomes painfully obvious that this will not go away.
I dunno, hasn’t it pretty much gone away already? I mean, as far as the drive-bys are concerned.
Sadly, TNR gets the free-press pass for abusing, well, pretty much every principle they’re supposed to uphold. It’s like how Dems geta free pass, only TNR has the Boys Club bonus.
– So now we have the latest tortured prose of Bush as the alter ego of Britney? I have to hand it to the cult of the numbskulls. They are absolute masters at plumbing the depths of quixotic similies. Even princess coloring books look like veritable encyclopedic tomes next to the writing of these political tadpoles.
this will not go away
It was never here.
This is what happens when the Canadians control your media. Canadians are well organized, and extraordinarily powerful  some of them are quite wealthy  they have been able to exert power.
It’s not the Canadians, happyfeet, that’s just what the Hmong want you to think! They run everything! Them and the Hiitites! I bet you thought their civilization had fallen, but NOOOOO, they run everything.
And the Hmong.
And invisible Tibetan monks.
They walk Hmong us.
Hold me.

Well, that’s all they have, isn’t it?
What’s the rule?
A clever bon mot trumps reality.
The Hmong are capitalist running dogs for the Dutch. Only they don’t know it. But I know because I am the all powerful ….Ha! You thought you could trick me into revealing my identity, but I’m too smart for you. Sit back before the end, and I’ll explain it all to you.
What’s that noise???
For those of you keeping score at home, I place a “fnord” in that last post…
You hid it well, Major John.
You have pins and dolls, and you know old names.
Well, it is interesting TNR would write about “high-profile futility”. I guess they are trying to stick to subjects where they have in-house expertise.

What gave it away? It was the wooden shoes. Wasn’t it?
To happyfeet:
Canadian Power? Fools, you have yet to see the true power of Canada! Sault Ste. Marie this morning, Newberry tonight, and tomorrow we dine in Escanaba! (Try the whitefish special, it’s really good!) Sheboygan – and Cheboygan – trembles at the rumor of our approach and your fudge shops will not stop us! (Though the casinos may slow us down – we can get change for our loonies, right? I mean, they’re good in Wiarton!)
Fear our Moose-Troopers! Bwahahahahaha!
Mikey: Don’t forget the Space Arm.
Merovign, Shh!
Even now the re-entry capable Tim-Bits are being deployed!
Shhhh!
Yeah….Ronaldinho ROcks!!
