Last night, just to be self-masochistic, I watched a good chunk of the 3-hour live orgy of self-congratulation that was the CBS 75th Anniversary celebration. Two things really stood out for me:

1) A scarily high percentage of CBS's biggest stars over the decades - and I'm talking entertainment here, not news - have been people that ended up becoming major liberal activists (or, at least, a scarily high percentage of the people CBS wanted to showcase last night): Mike Farrell, Alan Alda, Rob Reiner, Ed Asner, Candace Bergen ... so many I lost count. But for this thread, that's not as important as #2:

2) At the end of the CBS News fellatio segment, they brought out all the top tier of CBS News personnel onto the stage, over a dozen people. These were all the members of the Old Guard that aren't already dead, the top tier of what was once, a very long time ago, one of the premier journalism outlets in America: everyone from 60 Minutes and 60 Minutes II, Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite, Lesley Stahl, etc ... and all the way over on the end, sticking out like a sore thumb, was Julie Chen. She was probably the only person on stage under the age of 55, and it was just so obvious that she didn't belong there.

The part of her brain that handles shame impulses must be damaged.

A big part of being a liberal is having no sense of shame.

Did you hear the audio of Howard imitating Moonves rutting Julie Chen like a dog in heat? HILARIOUS!!!

I had to pass this CBS monstrosity on the way to work last night. There were literally three blocks worth of limos parked on 34th Street, and average people weren't allowed to park there. And the traffic was abysmal. Typical -- limousine liberals gathering together, and preventing the little people like me from getting to work on time!
