On Judge Alito, the San Francisco Chronicle is Unfit to be a Newspaper

The Chronicle is typical of most of the lib-Dems both in and out of office in this editorial. It demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to have a written Constitution, and why that is rendered a nullity if Justices pick and choose whether they will obey and enforce it.

In some ways I actually enjoy reading liberal tripe like that pointed out in this article. Liberal control freaks are hilarious when they aren't in control.

Tsk, John, I'm sure if we went back and checked the Chron archives, we'd find its editorials decrying the nomination of openly liberal Ginsburg to replace the largely conservative White.

Right? Of course we would!

/sarcasm.

San Franciso is unfit to be anything

Here is the original thread on that editorial:

That last sentence summarized the entire MSM, plus detailing why they're rapidly going the way of the Dodo.

As long as they don't claim to journalists or chroniclers, who cares? Oh my!! This rag is named the Chronicle. Perhaps they use a different language that English.

I would rather read a back-issue of Pravda.

[No Longer Free State]

A back-issue of Pravda would be more accurate

Who exactly was Ginsber nominated to replace?

[SwinneySwitch]

Byron R. White

Democrat nominated by Kennedy in 1962.

I just brained myself on a low beam in the basement and have a towel pressed to my head to stop the bleeding.

And suddenly, the points in the Chronicle Editorial make sense.

Maybe if I go back down in the basement and run into that beam a few more times, I can become a liberal.

[concentric circles]

Easy pickin's for today's commentary. Every writer needs a day like that.

I'm surprised the editorial board didn't just keep on digging the hole they were in and criticize Judge Alito for denying the relevance of foreign law in cases before the Supreme Court.

Sorry to wax into a vanity post, but The American Heritage Dictionary definines "Chronicle" as follows: (krŏn'ĭ-kəl) n. An extended account in prose or verse of historical events, SOMETIMES legendary material, presented in chronological order and WITHOUT authorial interpretation or comment. The San Francisco Chronicle, contrary to the definition above contains MOSTLY legendary material presented WITH MOSTLY authorial interpretation and comment. For that matter, how many other worthless rag sheets also carry the name "Chronicle"?
