The First Amendment is under attack by the Obama administration's Justice Department, the integrity of the IRS has been besmirched by efforts to target conservatives, and it has become entirely plain that the Obama administration systematically misled Americans concerning the nature of the assault on the American consulate in Benghazi. So what does Gail Collins write about in her latest New York Times op-ed entitled "Somebody Did Something" (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/23/opinion/collins-somebody-did-something.html?_r=0)? Immigration reform and Republican nastiness.
You go, girl! Times readers don't want to be told about the incompetence of their favorite president. It's too depressing.
How about another reference to Seamus in your coming opinion pieces, Gail? That would have us all in stitches. We could pretend that none of this ugliness ever happened.
Kudos to Andrew Rosenthal, his editorial board and the his op-ed columnists, who - with the notable exception of Maureen Dowd - would have us believe that nothing inappropriate involving the Obama administration ever occurred.
Apparently The Times is today guided by the philosophy that if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, it didn't make a sound.
After all, if the president didn't need to be told by his chief counsel, chief of staff and cabinet members of these misdeeds, why should The Times be any more forthcoming with its readers?
Let's all agree to muffle the crash . . .

Carney: "With all due respect, Mr. President, I feel extremely uncomfortable lying through my teeth every day just to cover your ass."
ReplyDeleteBO: "But Jay, that's your job, that's why I hired you!"
Carney: "That WAS my job. I won't be the fall guy when the shit hits the fan. Don't you get it? Benghazigate, using the IRS as your personal attack dog,
flexible red-lines on Syria, using the DoJ to spy on Fox News, AP and now, getting Lois Lerner to take the fifth? What were you thinking?"
BO: "Well, Jay, it really doesn't matter what I think. And, according to the latest polls, with a 45% approval rating - it looks like it really doesn't matter what I do or don't do either!
The American people love me for who I am."
Carney: "I guess you're right, sir. That smile and your eloquent speeches got you this far. But quite frankly, in your current predicament, who's going to want to take my place?"
BO: "Hold on, I'm on the phone..."
"Hello, Jen... yes, of course you'll have to lie... that run in you had with ADL regarding Allan Houston, no big deal...in this economic climate, everyone is an anti-Semite, even Jews hate Jews...I told you I'd come through for you and Soros...you'll fit right in here...see you on Friday."
BO: "Carney, you're fired."
