It is not without good reason that South Park measures turds in Courics

[Stinky The Clown]

This is a joint Sparkly/Stinky post.

(Sparkly: I wouldn't use the word "turds" in a subject line, personally.)(Stinky: That's why I married you. To lend some balance to my life.)

We sat down to dinner out on the deck, Sparkly and I. The deck teevee was tuned to our local nooz, the CBS affiliate. At 7.00, the good Ms. Couric entered our consciousness.

Our ire began to rise as she discussed the latest BPisms.

According to her (and all of CBS, to be fair), Oilmegeddon has morphed. It is no longer a problem for BP so much as it is the imminent political castration of one Barak Obama.

How has he fucked up? Why, let them count (and recount) the ways. Paraphrased:

"Pooorr little BP."

"The Obama administration is making this really hostile, and that might hurt things."

"This investigation might even lead to criminal charges against BP CEOS!"

"Look how badly the poor shareholders are losing money!!"

"The administration is interested in political calculations and has found an easy villain in BP!!"

We both spit our salad at that one.

Wasn't this BP's fuckup? No? Oh really? Ya don't say? Obama failed to do .... what? Oh yeah? Tell us, Ms. Couric. Set us straight.

And that's what she attempted to do. For the first ten minutes of her crap newscast.



And she closed with the Gores, Al and Tipper.

The models for Love Story ("as the former vice president once claimed") are getting a divorce.

(That's when Sparkly, a veteran of the "Al Gore is a Liar" Campaign of Lies, screamed.)

My dear Ms. Couric, you, madame, are a fucking moron. (Sparkly: I don't think the "fucking" was necessary, but whatever.)

5. Katie Couric.. the only 1/2 hour newscast with no actual news....

Corporate News fluff. Less filling.. fewer calories.

Although it is good to see where they are telegraphing their punches. Thank you for your sacrifice.

OTOH, so Al is single now? (Tipper you fool) :evilgrin:
