I read this book:Bad Moon Rising: How Reverend Moon Created the Washington Times, Seduced the Religious Right, and Built an American Kingdom
It is insane.The shit is so out of this world that I had to research what the author was saying-as best I could- because it was THAT ridiculous.Let me just say that US politicians sank a new low in my eyes after this.
Give a Colbert power madness for 40 seconds, he writes an hilarious email. Give a Colbert actual power for a few years, and who know what drollery might ensue? Declare yourself into more positions of power, please, Stephen!
Honestly, all this Argentine Mistress and Appalachian Trail wank is just ha-ha fun. But I don't care that he was off cheating.
What the huge deal is that he r-u-n-n-o-f-t while still Governor, didn't transfer power over to Lt. Gov and was incommunicado for days. He abandoned his elected duty PERIOD. That alone should get him out of office. It's not a morality or a hypocrisy thing. It's total dereliction of duty. In fact, this is the definition of such.
@The Real JR: This is usually how these things go. It is rarely the act that's the problem, it's the cover-up afterwards (Clinton) or the sheer hypocrisy (Spitzer) that does and should piss off people. I don't care that some politicians aren't faithful, but I do care that such morons are our leaders. These things keep happening and all you can think about these people with really fucking crappy judgment is, THESE are the people in charge?
You hope that the market corrects itself and that someone like Sanders - that would just up and abandon his duties for some pussy in South America - just won't get elected again, that's how it should work. But this is America, and he probably will get elected again, and if not, he'll do a reality show or something. There is no accountability anymore.
I've been a fan of Stephen Colbert's since his Strangers With Candy days, but I had no idea of the fearful symmetry of his genius until I read this. I find myself both awestruck and terrified. And I kind of have to pee.
@lawyergay: So brilliant. Didn't he say last night that he has applied for VA benefits now that he's back from doing his show in Iraq? It's so great that he can bring attention to important things like the care of our vets while simultaneously mocking the establishment.
@lawyergay: He even added typos, presumably to make it seem more legit. Incredible! It's not all that surprising to me that Repubs haven't figured out he's making fun of them.
"you can spend your money better than the government can spend your money...unless, of course, it's to subsidize captain cheney and kid dubya's dashing adventures fucking shit up in the middle east! woo-ha!"
@alorsenfants: One of the saddest spectacles of our lifetimes--and a symptom of the right/left equivalency that has rendered the political dialogue to spectacular heights of inanity--is the legitimizing of this newspaper, which is owned by a cult leader and convicted tax cheat who believes he is the modern day reincarnation of Jesus Christ and who marries total strangers in mass ceremonies 20,000 couples at a time. Every pronouncement about and by this "news" outlet should be preceded by the disclaimer, "According to people who work for the mass marrying Korean reincarnation of Jesus Christ,..." To exclude that information is to legitimize and organization that employs slave labor; that absolutely cannot and must not be separated from their editorial blather, which is every bit insane as its unhinged, but close friend of the Bush family's owner, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, aka, Korean Baby Jesus.

Does this mean if you stop eating sushi, the Washington Times might improve?

Moon himself actually studied Confucianism before converting to Christianity.

Exactly.
"a story so big and important that the Times didn't bother to insert quotation marks before posting it to their website."
And when you wrote that -- I'm just getting to coffee this morning -- I read 'New York Times'.
I mean if you want to refer to the London Times as 'the Times', I'm okay. But this litterbox liner? REALLY.
