There’s been lots of entertaining blogging on the Jon Stewart-Crossfire dust-up, but one of my favorites comes from Wing Chung, who has helped give the world Television Without Pity and Fametracker. Here’s a sample:
“Imagine, for a second, that you’re Tucker Carlson. (Let me help you to get into character: you’re a dead-eyed assberet.) You know that, of the conservative pundits — a group that includes such non-luminaries as Sean Hannity and your own colleague Robert Novak — you are marginally the least loathsome. You are occasionally, privately, able to break from Republican doctrine (as he did in Vanity Fair this summer, talking some shit about the even more odious Karen Hughes). But on camera, you have an image to project, and that image involves a bowtie. If you ever had any idea of being a respectable journalist, that was a long time ago, and you can never go back.”
“Assberet.” Snerk.
