I found a witch! May we burn her?

Is it me, or has Fox News and the Republican Party become the conservative equivalent of the Maury Pauvich show? For the last few weeks, it seems like all I'm hearing from these guys is some crap about Obama's birth certificate. Really? I mean...Really? I understand a need to question policies and proposals and the like with some degree of intelligence, but to go on a witch hunt over a birth certificate to get the man out of office is pretty weak. Not as weak as Glenn "Poppin Fresh" Beck calling Obama a racist with no real evidence, but weak just the same. I know I've had my rants and raves about the sensationalist spin the media has taken, and it just seems to keep getting worse. I fully expect to see Rush Limbaugh doing the running man on the stage when Maury announces to a quiet audience that the results are in, and Obama is "Not American."

To make matters worse, some crazed Russian broad living in California thinks she knows the Constitution better than the U.S. government (Though under the previous administration I'd be inclined to agree with her), starting a movement that has been labelled "The Birthers", which in and of itself makes me physically ill.

Seriously guys. Come up with rational, well thought out, unedited and sensationalized reasons why the guy is doing a bad job and something should be done about it, and maybe then Jon Stewart will have nothing to pick on you about. Then again, come up with the same reasons why the last guy shouldn't be held accountable for war crimes, and I'll consider taking you seriously too.

The same goes for the liberals though. Last time I checked, the economy still sucks, the healthcare system is still expensive as hell, and the sun isn't shining out of the President's ass. Did real television journalism die with Cronkite? I'm going to say yes. Journalism has been the Terri Schiavo of television, and someone needs to pull the feeding tube and start the whole thing over. How about instead of trying to spoon feed us bullshit opinions, you give us the information and let us process it? If I want a circus, I can go to Gibsonton, FL and see it any day of the week.

Oh, and I called Glenn Beck "Poppin Fresh" because he's white and doughy. In case you guys missed that.

He's also a jackass.

Possibly worse than Kurt Loder, and you all may recall how much I hate that asshole.
