This clown used to be a lawyer, folks:
As I’ve said before, I don’t usually pay attention to the items in the “Reading Assignments” section of Neal Boortz’s daily program notes, and that didn’t change when he changed the format to be more blog-like. But occasionally, there will be some nuggets of unintentional wingnut comedy gold mixed in among the diarrhetic effluvium. And today is just such an occasion. So without further ado, let’s don our HAZMAT suits and dive in!
Let’s see… well, he hehindeeds* a column by Victor Davis Pericles Thucydides von Goethe von Clausewitz “Not Me” Hanson the Red** that dishonestly accuses Obama of having “a talent for dishonesty in political discourse” (that was invented by Bill Clinton, I’m sure). He points out a Gallup study of American Muslims that’s being pimped by ClownHall, characterizing it simply as “interesting.” I’m guessing that’s because it doesn’t exactly confirm his stereotype of Muslims as incurably violent reprobates who need to be shoved into Adam Yoshida’s macrowaves. There’s some standard-issue fearmongering vis á vis Iran. Ooh! Here’s a good one:
You’re kidding me, right? Madoff wants to keep his penthouse in NYC and another $62 million in assets? If he’s allowed to be one iota better off than the people he scammed then there is something bad wrong with our bankruptcy laws.
Don’t you just love the lack of self-awareness? Denial, it’s not just a river in Egypt. Here’s a hint, Neal. Problems with the bankruptcy laws have nothing to do with Madoff’s rank corruption and criminality. It’s this anything-goes “Greed is Good” Gordon Gekko culture that you and your ilk have been pimping nonstop for the last 30 years that allowed Madoff to get away with what he’s done.
I sense there’s still more comedic gold to be mined here, so let’s continue. There’s a couple of Murdoch Street Journal articles to serve as a sad testament to the precipitous decline of that fishwrap’s journalistic standards since The Takeover. There’s some rank paranoia on Speaker Pelosi’s alleged “Enemies List”… Ah, there we are:
Attorney General Eric Holder says that “waterboarding” is out of the question as a possible interrogation technique for terrorism suspects. I’m sorry but it is not a form of torture.
Funny, we considered it torture when the Japanese did it to us in WWII. We even executed Japanese officers for ordering our POWs waterboarded. I guess WEIOKIYA. I think I have an idea why Boortz is no longer a lawyer — he sucks at it!
Okay, time to get out of the cesspool — the HAZMAT suits are starting to melt…
