What would be worse: if Norah actually believes it--or if she doesn't?
Norah O'Donnell has claimed that the Washington Post and the New York Times provide straight-up information, without bias, of the sort that would be appealing to members of the putatively non-partisan "No Labels" group.
Norah's mind-boggling assertion came on today's Morning Joe during a discussion of AOL's acquisition of HuffPo for $315 million. Reacting to indications that Arianna Huffington may be be guiding her creation toward the center and away from its leftist roots, WaPo's Jonathan Capehart argued the move made sense on the theory that people such as those at No Labels are hungry for straight-up reporting. That's when Norah broke in to claim that such unbiased reporting is already being provided by, yup, WaPa and the Times.

There is no use trying, Alice says. One cant believe impossible things.
I daresay you havent had much practice, says the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes, Ive believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!

She's a looker but someone must have bonked her brains out somewhere in the past. Oh...pretty lights.

WayneS: Its sort of like the statement: There are only two kinds of people in the world: those who divide people in to two different kinds of people, and those who dont
Colonel_Flagg: Actually, there are three kinds of people: those who understand math and those who don't. :)
Actually, there are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who do not.

She doesnt have to be. Shes good-looking
Right. And you parrot almost the exact words that Chris Matthews did a few years back, as he swooned over her pretty face. Wish you'd seen that...if you had, you might realize how ridiculous you sound.
