Halperin Finds New Flavors of Douchey

Posted on 03/09/2009 at 9:04 pm by JumpyPants

In this “PageCast” video Halperin twice asks whether President Obama is “doing too much.” (In case you’re just joining us, Halperin’s “PageCast” is his daily list of items to “watch for.” For example: Congress will be voting on things today so watch for that, and I collect a paycheck for saying this!)

He even asks his male companion in the video: “Should [Obama] cancel the stem cell event?”

Should he cancel the — what the hell?!

This is the establishment media echo-chamber on 11. An anti-Obama rag from England started an unsourced “Obama is too tired to think straight” meme last week and now it’s filtered its way to Halperin’s very serious video bits.

Some background. The Telegraph also published the following stories:

“Michelle Obama’s prom date describes their high school romance”

“Germany seduced by ‘Messiah’ Barack Obama”

“Is Barack Obama really too thin to win?”

Willis asks if the Telegraph writes this crap in order to bait additional traffic from the far-right blogs. It’s working. And bonus: they’re clearly fueling Mark Halperin’s “PageCasts.”

    The media dorks got their memo to run with the meme last week, and like clockwork, there they are pimping it. This and the Ayn Rand nonsense going around this week.These people must be on some serious mind-altering drug, I tell you. What a bunch of overpaid automatons.The BBQ (Swine) media figures act all animated, but when you put them all together in a room and listen to how they all try to talk over one another, but are basically saying the same thing, that’s when you notice they’re adherence to utter complacency. Damn, these “people” are full of succotash or straw.Funny, how they never get around to asking themselves whether they’re too unethical to actually be taken seriously.Now…who is this Mark Halperin person?

    Halperin’s new headline should read, “Obama can chew gum and walk at the same time, unlike that douche bag Bush”!

    Please ignore the Telegraph. We brits do, unless we are short of toilet roll. We will then perhaps find a use for the Telegraph.Online version… not so much.

    Bedlam -It is my understanding that the Telegraph is considered worse than the Daily Fail which is quite an accomplishment. Welcome to the wrong side of the pond.
