          "Liberals are going to miss him, he was so wonderfully odious. Remember that old Time magazine
           that had him on the cover with the dark shadows under the eyes and he’s this dark and menacing
           figure? And it was very comforting to the East Coast media establishment to know that there was an
           evil guy out there that you could really fear."

           As I was reading this, I remembered the ominous magazine
           covers of  OJ Simpson before the trial.  What a ludicrous leap
           it is to apply this to....

           – Newsweek’s Evan Thomas discussing Senator Jesse Helms’s retirement, August 25 Inside
           Washington. [27]

I thought exactly the same thing as I read that. It was an exact description of the OJ cover (where a liberal rag was caught red-handed, scaring up the white folk with racist bugaboos). How very insensitive of them!

Somehow, Evan Thomas morphed the image further, turning OJ into Jesse Helms! What an idiot.

Gee, I can't imagine why the liberal press is continually losing credibility and ratings.

Bill Maher, host of ABC’s Politically Incorrect: "I do think, if it turns out that this beautiful young girl is gone, I think, and he [Condit] is responsible in some way, you have to look to Ken Starr for a little bit of guilt."
Larry King: "Why?"
Maher: "Because, you know, Ken Starr made it so that you, in the old days, you had an affair with somebody, and you know, okay, you had an affair. The press didn’t report it. They didn’t make a political criminal case of it. Now, it’s almost like you have to get rid of them."

I'm sorry, but nobody, I mean nobody can top this one. "Hey, the guy has a reputation to protect! What else could he do except kill the girl! And it's all the Republican's fault!"

Is this guy's lousy show still on the air, or has it been cancelled on the grounds that it's a biohazard?

It all makes sense to me now! I can't believe I never noticed before how full of it the media is about EVERYTHING!

Here's a kicker for you, and I believe I heard correctly unless I'm lying of course, but the other night on World News Tonight, Peter Jennings said something to the effect that a study or survey found that people lie 25 times a day.

Of course this is ludicrous on its face. Newscasters may lie 25 times in a day, but the average person probably doesn't even have 25 conversations a day.

Thanks, that got the juices flowing again. Just when I was basking in all this American unity post-9/11. "Let's roll" over them.
