This Moment of Feigned Moral Outrage Brought To You By...

Your liberal media at work again, as the MSM obediently parrots Right-Wing talking points about a Kerry comment that is clearly being twisted out of all resemblance to its original context, which was a cheap shot at George W. Bush. At least Kerry knows to fight back now. If this does nothing, it should remind Democrats of the vital importance of GOTV. Let's just recognize this artifical "controversy" for what it is, yet more evidence that the GOP's death throes.

Meanwhile, Senator George Allen (R-Wannabe Redneck) has graduated from tagging those who displease him with obscure West Africa French colonialist racial slurs to having his goons beat the crap out of them. The MSM had no comment.

UPDATE: Media Matters has a compilation of Your Liberal Media regurgitating the GOP line.

Yet Another Reason to Despise George Allen:

He was formerly a flack for the Potomac Drainage Basin Racial Slurs football team.

Wannabes

It occures to me that Sen. George Allen and President George W. Bush have at least one thing in common; they are both fakes. Bush is a fake cowboy, trying to toughen-up a life of privilege with some photo-op brush clearing down on his fake ranch. That's all well and good, though; Bush isn't the first or the last yankee transplant to pull on jeans and boots and suddenly think he's the Duke. Allen, on the other hand, is so desperate to appear Southern, he's clinging to the ugliest, most despicable aspect of our past: virulent racism. From posing with a Confederate battle flag in his California high school yearbook, to silly things like Confederate singalongs, he's develoved to hanging out as governor of Virginia with troglodytes from the Council of Conservative Citizens, the successor to the infamous Civil Rights Era state-sponsored terrorist group, the White Citizens' Council.

Gotta Love This Guy!

Virginia Democratic Senate candidate James Webb goes nuclear on his opponent Senator George Felix Allen, Jr. after being hit with the by-now standard GOP tactic of questioning the patriotism of anyone who failed to support the Anti-flag burning wave-the-bloody-shirt amendment. Yet another important example of why you should not screw with Marines.
