TRUE BELIEVERS
Christopher Hitchens (who objects to the phoney peaceniks of the antiwar protest in Washington -- he's especially incensed by Ramsey Clark) and Jinx McHue (the latest reader to write us that Jeb Eddy is no Republican, see Wizbang!, Chronwatch and Shock & Blog, but rather "a big, fat, liberal phony -- but that's being redundant, isn't it?") both make the case that the press can't be trusted to clarify the issues or even to lay out the facts because it's biased, stupid, easily fooled and, not least, amnesiac.
In answer to which -- oblique ripostes, admittedly -- we offer two poems inspired by columnists whose writings we believe to be fair, smart, fully informed and equipped with thorough data bases:
Harding! Harding! Harding!
Champion of hearth and home!
You live once more in the White House,
And we're back to Teapot Dome.
"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job,"
And indeed he is, as are Rumsfeld and Rove
And Safavian (oops, the guy is in cuffs)
Along with Scott Armey -- all Bushies we love.
And this, from Mort Subiet's boot hill, otherwise known as "boot hell."
-- Tireless Staff of Thousands
