Via Shawn Wasson, it’s a few days old but salvageable as a mid-day palate cleanser thanks to the currency given it by the rubes at the Observer. How does a newspaper so famously culturally literate miss the fact that this is (a) a joke (b) aimed squarely at one of the most notoriously stupid things ever said by his dopey brother?
Likewise, why does a news network as media literate as Fox persist with these microscopic video players when the also-rans at MSNBC are giving us big, bold, high-rez canvasses? And why does a broadcaster as generally literate as Laura Ingraham not pause to remind herself before bringing on celebrity guests that, per her own instruction, we’re not supposed to care what Hollywood types think about politics? Or is Stephen Baldwin an exception because he doesn’t really qualify as a “celebrity”?
