‘Like Teenage Girls At A Bay City Rollers Concert’

On Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough nailed the Washington press corps for its sycophantish performance at the White House Correspondents Association dinner this past Saturday night: “like a bunch of teenage girls waiting for a Bay City Rollers concert, waiting to scream at the top of their [lungs].”

Mika Brzezinski, agreeing with Joe, lifted the veil on the goings-on behind the scenes, describing an enraptured TV production crew scrambling to get the most flattering shots of the prez and First Lady.

MSM a bunch of Obama groupies ping to Today show list.

Airhead gets one right?

Liberals in general think and behave like teenage girls, especially the ‘men’. It’s almost impossible to reason with them.

within a year we’ll be getting our most unbiased news coverage of the US from the foreign press

At least Roller fans could pick out Scotland on a map.

Like Jim Jones followers lining up for the Kool Aid.

You may very well do this already but start reading the UK papers online.

The standard of prose and fact-checking is vastly superior to begin with but they are already experiencing the end days of happy-face statism. Unfortunately we are 15 years behind them with Obama playing the role of Blair but we are destined for the same fate.

There's a term for the MSM's adoration of The One:

Fanboi: a term used to describe any man who is devoted to a single subject in an emotional or fanatical manner, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession.

[Logic n' Reason]

What a shame the msm can't see this joker as we see him....truthfully, in plain view....just like this...

"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dummies put him up there to begin with".

Nuff said.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night!

[Christian4Bush]

bump!

now if I can just put that quote in the picture!

[Will88]

“like a bunch of teenage girls waiting for a Bay City Rollers concert, waiting to scream at the top of their [lungs].”

Well, hopefully the enraptured state of the MSM will have a life about as long as the Bay City Rollers career. Maybe at least a few will recover from their stupor, but that's nothing to count on because that giddy emotional state is what so many in the MSM naturally seek and mistake for progress and improvement.

[avacado]

LOL!!! So true!

[andy58-in-nh]

The Washington press corps strains for a glimpse of their hero.

[alicewonders]

Ain’t that the truth!

[paulycy]

I saw that. Great line.

But I really hate it when Joe dumps conservatives as human beings under the bus while occasionally defending conservative principles.

It’s as though conservatism is a good theory but, of course, any real person who practices it is doing the wrong thing, is a fool or is much, much worse.

It’s as though he is saying “Personally, I’m a conservative but I don’t think my positions should ever really be taken seriously in real life. I’ll leave that to you kind and wise liberals.”

“like a bunch of teenage girls waiting for a Bay City Rollers concert, waiting to scream at the top of their [lungs].”

Rather, I thought it was like a minstrel show with Obama as the master of ceremonies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zj6o_DZfSw

[SE Mom]

I’ve recently run out of adjectives to describe the media in general, and their coverage of Obama in particular.

Anyone who is able to pinpoint what’s going on between Obama and the media is taking on a rugged task and I respect them. Even Joe Scarborough :)

[Talisker]

Nuff said.

Indeed.

[MrB]

Yes, the equivalence of the mindset of most liberals and teen and pre-teen girls is undeniable.

Who else would whine about “fair” so constantly.

[Tax-chick]

Boy did they date themselves!

[gridlock]

The Bay City Rollers were actually had talent...

[governsleastgovernsbest]

If you think that’s bad, my frame of reference is more Beatles-on-Ed-Sullivan-show circa 1964 ;-)

[McGruff]

Tingle, tingle.

That is so true.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!

[Izzy Dunne]

Boy did they date themselves!

Don't you go blind doing that?

[Scythian]

Wow, were they ever ultra dorks !!!

[MortMan]

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!

Saturday Night, ah, Saturday Night...

[Piquaboy]

Liberal men are kitty’s and wear panties.

[kimmie7]

Boy, that one took me back!

[Sig Sauer P220]

Clueless fools.

[silverleaf]

I am reading the UK Telegraph and also- with a grain of salt but reading nonetheless- Pravda

Bloomberg (news report) also a good source of under the radar shenanigans by obama in the financial world

[Disambiguator]

Those guys look like they’re all about 5 feet tall. Love the extra-high heeled shoes.

Now we know what a pop band comprised of Hobbits would look like.

[Mom MD]

I resemble that remark!

(I didn’t have to google Bay City Rollers - I remember too)

Yes he’s Christopher Hitchens’ brother and no they don’t like each other very much.

Peter is BRILLIANT

[SharpRightTurn]

I don’t know who that is in the photo to the right of TingleLeg, but they are one rough looking duo.

[Mom MD]

Hey! Back in the day that was ultra hot (we were all dorks in the 70’s)

“Liberals in general think and behave like teenage girls,”

Yes they do...

In the 70’s, I grew up with three sisters:

1) Mid 70’s it was Roller Mania
2) 1977 it was Shaun Cassidy
3) 1978 it was Andy Gibb.

Liberals and teen girls change with whatever way the wind blows and whomever is popular at the moment.

One day soon, owning an Obama shirt will be as embarrassing to a liberal as owning a Leif Garrett tee shirt was to my sisters in the 80’s.

Well, hopefully the enraptured state of the MSM will have a life about as long as the Bay City Rollers career.

I'm not optimistic about that. The media created this monster; they're not going to admit that "The One" aint't all that one-derful any time soon.

[bray]

Kind of an insult to Teenage Girls??

[princeofdarkness]

Sounds like Peter is more in line with Mark Steyn than his brother Chris.

[rbmillerjr]

The media will eventually have their personal story of “Blowback”.

It will hit them like a ton of bricks. It’s coming.

It’s coming in a big way.

[Tax-chick]

And my mother saved the pictures ;-).

[a fool in paradise]

Just think if Wanda Sykes had said “macaca”!

[Mom MD]

I’m sorry!
Hopefully the negatives have long ago been lost!

[Tax-chick]

Must have been, given all the times we moved.
