Talking Points - O Liberal Media, Where Art Thou?

So the L.A. Times apparently received the same talking points communiqué the infotainment bores were blathering on about on Rupert's air earlier this week.

I already pointed out the ridiculous nature of this report here, but it's worth noting as this showed up in an L.A. paper. You know, the paper from the land of the people who are all supposedly worshiping before the great and powerful Gore.

Even a hack like Gary McChuckles might bristle at a cheap line like this one:

"Perhaps what we really need next is a live global concert to raise awareness about the omnipresence of live global concerts trying to raise awarenesses."

How about this? Perhaps we need reporters who get busy uncovering real stories instead of trying to out yuk each other. Leave that to the bloggers.

And They Say I Don't Have a Sense of Humor

I hope I have a chance to cameo again when Futurama comes back. Thanks for pitching in Matt! I'm no Gary McChuckles by any stretch of the imagination, but I am not afraid to poke fun at my image.

Please, Liberal Media, Stop Helping

If I am supposed to get by with a little help from my friends I am totally screwed. It seems Gary McChuckles filed a story with the AP (bastion of the evil liberal media) that makes me believe he is paid per pun rather than per word.

Seriously, liberal media, stop helping me if this is the best you can do.

Let's start with the headline.

"Gore's son in joint after drug bust"

Mmmmm. Pun-a-licious. Joint, get it? He's saying one thing while meaning another. You're a sly one McChuckles.

It gets better.

"Talk about going green!"

Zing! See what he did there? They should totally have embedded some schecky horn or rimshot audio to go along with this story. How has Lorne Michaels not snapped this guy up? You go, McChuckles. You're on fire.

But wait, there's more! I know, I know how could there possibly be more? Such genius already laid bare for all the world to see. Clearly this is the greatest comedic mind of our time.

"The deputies said they smelled pot smoke - a potential greenhouse gas - and searched the car."

Look out David Sedaris, your reign as the king of dry wit and subtlety is officially under siege. Gary McChuckles is coming for you.

McChuckes then trots out the old chestnut about my home in Tennessee as the encore to his tour de force of schtick. Snopes already cleaned up the mess about my home/office here.
