Or should I say dolt?
Here’s the headline from Breitbart:
DANA PERINO CALLS ‘THE BUTLER’ SCREENWRITER ‘AMAZING’
And here’s the story. Lowlights:
Perino made her remarks on Tuesday’s episode of Fox News’ The Five in a discussion about comments Daniels, who directed the film, made in which he said he believed America was more racist with President Barack Obama as president.
The Butler has been blistered for its inaccuracies, including the film’s false portrayal of the Reagans, as esteemed Reagan biographer Craig Shirley noted…
Perhaps not surprisingly, Strong also wrote the screenplay Game Change, which was riddled with lies and inaccuracies about Sarah Palin…
I’m leaning toward dolt. She continually apologizes for Jay Carney and the Obama White House’s blatant political spin. My take? She has no political convictions at all. She’s just a succubus to power, loving the inside the beltway life. In addition to no real convictions, she has no real judgment and no real morals, just demure habits that parade as all of the above.
Ick.
None of them do, RL. At best they are naïve & out of touch (Bush). At worst they are nakedly hostile towards our nation & corrupt (Obama). Their various mouthpieces are certainly no better. Perino’s cute and all, but that’s about it. I don’t take as much umbrage with the people being paid to lie at the mic as much as the people getting paid to write the lies for them to recite.
I still remember poor Tony Snow, someone I had long admired since he used to guest host on Rush long ago, marching out (in what would, sadly, be one of his final acts) with shit-eating grin affixed but a lost look in his eyes on Fox News whatever, trying to persuade whomever he was speaking with that Bush’s amnesty deal (anyone else remember that?) was a really special and great immigration plan, the attempted secret passage of which was like (remember that, too?), all a misunderstanding or something. He didn’t believe a fucking word he spoke, but you could at least tell.
The rest of these people are more professional with their dishonesty, probably b/c, as you say, deep down they don’t really care. Things can’t go on like this forever, but DC will likely be one of the last places in America to feel the pinch, so maybe they’re just following their own version of the Code of Harry.
