It's His Dick, and We're Up the Crick

Breitbart declares he is "vindicated" now, of course, and that is sure to presage a new journalistic Golden Age. Apparently, Breitbart commandeered swinging-dick Weiner's already surreal press conference and rather than getting kicked out on his ass, fielded questions and took over the show. So, the serial liar and wingnut misinformation artist and manufactured outrage spinner can now do or say whatever he wants and nobody can do anything about it because he was kinda sorta right about something once. Good thing that as Drudge seems to drift into eclipse, Breitbart can now rule their world. Did you hear? The climate is not warming, voucherizing Medicare is saving Medicare, cutting taxes shrinks deficits, bombing is democracy promotion, and many other sweet-smelling rainbow gifts of unchallengeable truth are coming loud and hard to a reality near you. And won't it be nice that from here on out any Democrat who ever manages to do any good or make any sense at all in any measure can now be hounded into an ignominious retirement by the fierce need to stop looking back, stop blame gaming, keep moving forward? And surely you, like me, now await with breathless anticipation the parade of old white guys castigating sexual improprieties in ways that require, of course, endless fine-grained salacious reportage and editorializing in the form of soft porn. That's always fun and highly proper and very serious.
