Newsweek's "Conventional Wisdom" is pissing me off.
This is what they have today:

Bush: <-->

Vacationing Prez takes three days to address disaster, but as with 9/11. later gets the import.


How this fuck is this "sideways"? It should be DOWN! They do this all the fucking time! Have they EVER moved him down?

Bush: <-->

Eating babies in public probably bad for campaign. On the plus side, he looks so cute with those little bloodstains he was unable to completely wipe off.

BTW I love your spoof, funny and oh so true.
<---> Lying about the Iraq war is a bad thing but it gave the American people a chance to see him fly an airplane. :).

4. I stopped reading Newsweek after seeing the editor or one of them
John Meacham? whoring around cable news punditing about the election. He was Bush's waterboy.

buggering that ten year old in front of the cameras on the South Lawn wassn't his best moment, but his love for children knows no equal.

8. I have noticed this too over the last 4 years. He doesn't get
many down arrows in CW even though they trash him in the written word. But they have a really hard time aiming that arrow down.
