I was dry heaving for ten minutes after I saw that earlier.

Why are the media so servilely complicit with Clinton-campaign propaganda and trickery?

Whenever anyone on the right has ever questioned this, it's existence is always denied. Now the far left questions it and it's a valid concern. Hmmmm. I'm reminded of the immortal words of Carl Spackler: "I have to laugh".

I'm pretty sure Kepler has denied its existence.

Camile Paglia is as nutty as Kepler, and that's saying something. This is why I fear they stopped handing out weed at Sanders rallies and started handing out peyote!

EDIT: "Conservative though she may be, I felt that Palin represented an explosion of a brand new style of muscular American feminism..she was combining male and female qualities in ways that I have never seen before. And she was somehow able to seem simultaneously reassuringly traditional and gung-ho futurist. In terms of redefining the persona for female authority and leadership, Palin has made the biggest step forward in feminism.." - Camilla Paglia :eek: :eek: :eek:

But you bring up a good point, which is Sanders supporters are as into ridiculous conspiracy theories as the typical Glenn Beck follower. The media is in the tank for Clinton?!?!? Ooookaaayyyyy.....

On a list of, who gets the most kid-glove treatment from the media it goes like this:

1) Marco Rubio. Empty suit. Boring. Got crushed in key debate. Has yet to win a state even in his backyard. But, he's the frontrunner.
2) Bernie Sanders. At least he's won a state. No mainstream coverage of the utter absurdity of his proposals which put Mittens Romney's tax proposals to shame.
3) John Kasich. Getting the Republican Jesus treatment. No mention of anti-women legislation nor being a Gingrich foot soldier. Looks and acts like corpse during debates.
4) Ben Carson. Stories of how nuts he is tend to have a lighthearted chuckle about them. Maybe because he's in no danger of being a serious contender.
5) Ted Cruz. Media does have it out for him because they're in bed with DC politicians who hate the guy.
6) Hillary Clinton. Cottage industry in mainstream media has sprung up to be the one who takes her down. Any fake scandal given front page headlines in NYT or CNN or WaPo - retractions when stories turn out to be false put on page 30, bringing back the days of Judith Miller at the NYT.
7) Donald Trump. Hate the guy all you want, but he gets by far the worst press. No media outlet is in the tank for him, and he's been pronounced politically dead about 9 zillion times by now.

I have to wonder if Matthew Weiner wouldn't have been in position to have made a run, had he not sent those dick pics. He seemed like a real rising star of the leftish before he resigned.

Anthony. I think Matt Weiner is the guy who did Mad Men.

But for prez? No way.

Weiner and Spitzer are the Doc and Straw of NY politics. The sky was the limit and they really had juice and chops (beg pardon), and they BLEW IT, and they have nobody to blame but themselves. Like Gary Hart -- what idiots. Very frustrating.

You mean Anthony?

He always wanted to be mayor of NYC.
