« Dana Milbank, Vicious Partisan Liar | Main | When Thin-Skinned Parents Attack! »

Too Precious

In a Dana Milbank "Outlook" piece on the "cottage industry" of media criticism....

The most priceless sentence is this: "Regardless of the merits, the pervasive accusations of bias are making it increasingly difficult for the traditional media to play their role of gathering and reporting facts." Media critics are wrong to criticize, regardless of the merits of their criticism? Well yes, you see, because Milbank believes their nefarious goal is to "steer readers and viewers toward ideologically driven outlets that will confirm their own views and protect them from disagreeable facts."

Unlike, say, Dana Milbank, who's as fair-and-balanced a down-the-line straight shooter as you could imagine. Why, I could never even hope to guess at the man's politics from his writing.

But, you know, gun to my head? I'd guess... John Bircher? No? Maybe a member of the Right to Life Party? Getting colder? Okay, just as a final stab in the dark, I'll guess Stereotypical Eastern Urban McGovernite Left-Liberal.

But honestly, that's just giving it the old college try. Because I swear, the man's political agenda is as much a mystery to me as female genitalia.

Seriously. I'm asking for the last time, ladies: What the hell is going on down there? It's like a foam-latex version of the old Operation game, and I'm always fumbling around and getting the red buzzer.

Isn't Milbank the one with long-standing ties to the Afghanistan Taliban?

Foam and latex?????

Maybe it would help if you tried stuff on a real girl.

Fingers crossed!

Posted by: ace on November 22, 2005 01:36 AM

ok. Not sure what that means, unless it means you have date tonight.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on November 22, 2005 01:38 AM

Geez, what about the media's role of reporting the news? Or of being a common carrier. Yellow journalism is back, only in a more literal sense.

They won't tell you. Ever. You're supposed to figure it out.

The basic rule of thumb is: start real gentle. When they begin to vocalize, you can get rough and nasty. Wait for the vocal cues.

Michael, I learned this in the (eeeeeeeeevil!) lgf comments section, and thought I'd pass it on to you:

If you think you're too drunk to post a comment, you are.

last one mine

Posted by: someone on November 22, 2005 02:10 AM

someone:

Good advice. Thanks.

Posted by: Michael on November 22, 2005 02:40 AM

So,

You don't think Milbank will appreciate that I signed him up for a lifetime subscription to the Storm Front newsletter and e-mail alerts?

Damn, I'm losing my ability to read people...

Posted by: Purple Avenger on November 22, 2005 03:18 AM

Baby, don't just fumble around down there all sweaty and nervous. You have to ask your girl what she wants you to do before and during. Girls know what they like; it's your job to pry it out of them...nicely. If you want to get some action, a nice, long, detailed, hot steamy discussion is the #1 key to success. If you plan ahead correctly, you can almost have a fumble-free, one-shot, no re-takes porn movie which includes what she wants and what you want. Seamless. Sexy. Of course, minor adjustments will have to be made during, but you just have to ask if she's enjoying whatever debauchery is being performed. Feel free to ask questions. "Can I do such-and-such?"

Added bonus: The discussion itself is a major turn-on and will likely get you laid immediately following.

It's TOTALLY hot when guys ask you what you want instead of just trying to do what they saw on some grainy RealPlayer 30 second porn clip. NOT ALL CHICKS LIKE THE SAME STUFF EITHER. If your ex-girlfriend liked it, it doesn't mean next girlfriend will like it. Pay special consideration to speed. Some chicks like it good and fast...other chicks like it more slow.

Those are some Feisty Basics. I can give ya a more--ahem-- detailed "analysis" if you want. You got my email. ;-)

I really didn't know Milbank was a guy until about 3-4 months ago. I just assumed based on the name, and the hyterical reaction every time he/she was criticized by anyone.

Posted by: RDub on November 22, 2005 08:19 AM

Feisty,
I think I'm in love.
Never mind the model from the Conservative Tees ad. Run away with me :)

And that red buzzer you're hitting? It's a good thing. Just ask her.

Posted by: VRWC Agent on November 22, 2005 08:53 AM

you're getting real advice. and tutoring offers.

son of a bitch.

why would you care about crazy blog money? money's just something we use to get laid.

Who is this "McGovern" of which you speak?

Sorry, my sense of history doesn't go back any further than Hardcastle & McCormick.

Cheers,

Dave, I know you're always lurking in Ace's large, throbbing, commanding, um, "shadow"...But fear not, for you've been on my FeedDemon list for a couple of months now.

I tutor anyone who asks politely. And forks over lots of money or tells me I'm much hotter than the Conservative Tees chick.

Oopsie. That was Dave in TX, not Dave at Garfield Ridge.

Seriously, males between the ages of 33 and 46 are all named Dave or Jeff. I get confused sometimes.

Posted by: Feisty on November 22, 2005 10:37 AM

The unexplained absences around the weekend supports my belief that Ace is cheating on us. But contrary to his self-depreciating humor, I'm sure he's quite popular with and knows his way around da ladies.

Posted by: on November 22, 2005 10:46 AM

Maybe I haven't done it with enough whores, but there are a lot of prudish women out there for whom "discussion" seems an irrational turn-off.

tell me about it. a parent hollerin "David" in my neighborhood would have 6 kids show up. my dad developed his own particular whistle to get me running back home.

What he meant to say ... was that those who question the White House's use of prewar intelligence were not only "dishonest and reprehensible" but also "corrupt and shameless."

I like that quote.

"Did I say you were a douchebag? I'm sorry, I was misqouted. What I meant is you are a douchebag who should be taken out and shot."

Posted by: Zorachus on November 22, 2005 11:11 AM

Ace, don't chase women. Chase crazy blog money and the women will follow.

After reading Feisty's comments I have to go have a smoke, anyone got a light?

[A]n asshole is somebody who looks at a painting of two toddlers doing something totally normal for toddlers and decides that it represents homosexuality and then thinks that publicly saying that is somehow edgy and clever. Instead it is doing what we accuse the Left of, that is sexualizing young children. If that describes you, own it.

It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
