Media Leftovers

This story sounds like The View without the cameras - which would be merciful indeed:

Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and Rosie O'Donnell are backing a new left-wing radio network that plans to appeal to women listeners and counter the dominance of conservative talk radio and its "male point of view."

The new talk-radio network is called GreenStone and will be officially launched on Sept. 12, 2006. Its Web site describes it as "a clear alternative to the polarizing, highly political talk commonly heard on AM radio."

Steinhem, in a recent interview with the New York Times, has also made clear that her network is at war with Rush Limbaugh for audience share.

"We know what women want," says GreenStone's mission statement, "and have the entertainment, political, social and business connections to deliver it . . . Our goal is to build the leading brand for women's talk programming."

Wow. A left-wing talk radio network rising up to challenge Rush Limbaugh. Gee, there's a novel concept. Guess Fonda, Steinem, and Rosie O'Dingle didn't want to waste their pocket change on Air America.

Well, I guess having a gratingly feminist flavor at least differs from all the pretenders that came before GreenStone. And they certainly don't lack for arrogant presumption; I personally know quite a few women who would want to see these three dykes set adrift somewhere on a raft with only one dildo between them (oh, wait, Rosie has a penis, doesn't she? Never mind).

Well, maybe GreenStone'll last long enough to run through other pithy slogans like "Five minutes sounds like a Lifetime" and "Sucking up all the Oxygen." Regardless, they'll certainly have the "sucking" part down pat.

Another sign of the Apocalypse: ABC to air a semi-accurate depiction of Bill Clinton's criminal foreign policy negligence that led to 9/11, and Sick Willie can't raise enough bribe money to squelch it.

UPDATE: What he can't buy off, the miserable old reprobate now seeks to squash through direct bullying and intimidation. Kinda animates the adage that for the wicked, the truth is more lethal than any lie.

Can you imagine the media reaction if George W. Bush had attempted to shut down Fahrenheit 9/11 like Clinton is The Path to 9/11? It's yet another telltale addition to the latter's true legacy - of infamy.

ANOTHER UPDATED: Jim Geraghty sagely asks why the Dems would want to spend the next sixty days before the election defending Bill Clinton's anti-terrorism record.

How do we know that Plamegate is dead, dead, dead for a ducat, dead? When the New York Times starts calling for Patrick Fitzgerald to close up shop and go home. And why not, now that it's finally public knowledge that the whole thing was a fairly massive plot on the part of Colin Powell and the REAL "leaker" of Valerie Wilson's identity, Richard Armitrage, in cahoots with the Enemy Media and the Democrat Party, to hang a Watergate frame on the Bush White House - which Fitzgerald knew from the fifth day of his almost three-year travesty of an investigation.

When even the house organ of the neoBolsheviks sees more loss than gain in continuing a centerpiece Bushophobic gambit, that mother really has jumped the shark.

Now if only Dick Cheney would reinstate Scooter Libby, and arrange for Joe Wilson to be added to the GreenStone raft, justice might actually come close to being done....

UPDATE: Another sign of the Apocalypse - David f'n Broder, dean of the Beltway punditocracy, says the press owes Karl Rove an apology. No wonder even the Times is pulling the plug, while still trying to avert any accountability for their rather gargantuan role in the mammoth smear.
