I frequent around half a dozen blogs these days and most of them, when political, are of a more liberal slant. I’m not really sure when the left seized control of the net, but it doesn’t really matter - it’s easy enough to over look. Defective Yeti is a new addition, I’m still working through the archives, and thus far the political posts have been few. The one below is my favorite.
In a telling indicator of how we view the Vice President, every media outlet apparently feels the need to put the qualifier “accidentally” between the words “Cheney” and “Shoots” in their headlines, e.g., “Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter,” “Cheney accidentally shoots Austin man while hunting,” etc..
If you read “Bush Stabs Fellow Napper,” you’d chuckle knowingly and say “oh, that loveable bumbler — what will he do next?” But with Cheney they actually have to waste valuable headline space to clarify that, in this particular instance, shooting a septuagenarian in the face was not part of his Master Plan.
Of course now that the media has used “accidentally” in this case, they’ll be forced to clarify yet again when the Vice President intentionally attacks someone. CHENEY GARROTES ZOOKEEPER TOTALLY ON PURPOSE
