Don’t Read Politico, Urge Politico Editors

http://gawker.com/5914657/dont-read-politico-urge-politico-editors


OH SO WE'RE ONLY WRITING ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO ASSESSING A CANDIDATE'S READINESS FOR OFFICE, ARE WE NOW, POLITICO?

Here is a list of stories Politico has published soberly assessing Barack Obama's readiness for office:

A 1,300-word story on how Obama's use of "Black English" when addressing African-American audiences constitutes "dog-whistle politics."
A 700-word story on how Obama is "too 'cool' and detached to fully grasp the public anxiety over mounting job losses and economic worries" because he laughed during a 60 Minutes interview.
A 500-word story on how BARACK OBAMA USES A TELEPROMPTER.
A 700-word story on how Obama hates retarded people because he mentioned the Special Olympics in a joke.
A story wondering what U.S. President Barack Obama will do on the 9/11 anniversary, an observance for which he has "few options" BECAUSE HE HATES AMERICA.
Obama's supporters think Republicans are racist, according to this press release we got from the GOP.
The White House once sent an email to a guy.
Roger Ailes is going to run for president.
Obama is in thrall to fatcat college professors.
Obama seeks to undermine his political enemies, scandalously, by meeting and talking about them.
A dispatch on how Obama "flashed irritation" when a reporter asked him a question ("flashed irritation" means didn't answer).
Obama touches people, with his hands. Look out!
No cheap voyeurism there. Substance over sensation! Slavery is Freedom! Down with Drudge!

MSNBC used to invite that Jim VanDehei (sp?) guy on ... no longer.

They are basically sellouts to Republicans, now, who probably fund some of their stuff.
