The clip’s not available yet, but Bobo was on Charlie Rose last night (that fucker is on that joke of a show all the time), and apparently he used some angry language. Reader J describes:
Charlie Rose naturally had a Republican, David Brooks, on to explain the Democratic president’s news conference and Brooks was beside himself, twice using vulgarities (“pissed off”), because the deficit is so high and potty-mouth prattled on about it being a moral issue.
I’m starting to like the GOP idea/ideal of eliminating funding of PBS.
The Charlie Rose show is the work of the devil. Is there any place that is more relentless in its pimping of right-center, Village conventional wisdom? But many people who call themselves liberals, especially older academics and other pseudo-intellectuals, can’t get enough of it.
Here’s a much less serious person with no knowledge of economics describing the real problems with the proposed budgets (via). Luckily, no one listens to such lunatics.
Nothing has changed since Iraq. The media dynamic is exactly the same. In fact, it might be worse. We have met the enemy and it isn’t the dreaded teabaggers, it’s our fine, Horace-quoting friends on PBS and in prestigious magazines.
I know this won’t sit well with everyone, but I fear that Obama too often takes his cues from such serious people.
