"Your GOP operative should have had the courtesy to stay sober before noon"

Heh - this is the way to treat idiotic crap in the media:

A source points out that President Barack Obama's new typeface is Revolution Gothic, a style inspired by retro Cuban propaganda posters. Who vets the fonts? (Obama press secretary Ben LaBolt emails: “Your GOP operative should have had the courtesy to stay sober before noon, and BuzzFeed should go back to labeling cat slideshows.”)

To me it was nostalgic. Leave it to the wacky tea bagger right wing nut jobs to make something bad out of it. They really need to get a life.

Republicans always accuse the media of having a liberal bias because they really want the media to go easy on them. They even call it "working the refs".

Democrats should be adopting the same tactics, and they should be chastising the corporate media whenever they give credence to right-wing talking points and conspiracy theories.
