What makes me happiest about Hillary's win tonight is every media pundit looks like a complete idiot |
|
All the stories about Clinton losing by double digits, dropping out after NH to save face, embarassing the Clinton brand, going broke......
They all look like the fucking idiots that they are. And every tv viewer knows it. It's a great day.

Sadly...it seems that being wrong gets them more prestige and makes them more of an expert.
It's kind of baffling.

9. I don't think they will change much. |
|
They are too used to telling us what to think, what is important, how to vote.
We are all supposed to think Brittney Spears is important, too. If and when she dies, which I think is possible and imminent, they will be busy dissecting how she was crucified by the paparazzi and her fans. They will be too stupid to see their own complicity.
The media is out of touch. That is the irony. If they could just report the news without the self-importance, they would be doing their jobs and regaining their credibility.

19. To paraphrase Chris Matthews.. |
|
"HA!"
When Brokaw dared to suggest they should dial back their forecasts until everyone has had a chance to vote, Matthews scolded him with the proclamation that whole industries depended on such predictions. Don't expect much to change.

It exposed in 3-D living color that they are complete idiots. (The first person that invents a TV where I can reach through and smack the candle out of that pumpkin head Russert's mouth is going to make a fortune off me.)

10. I love it, and I'm not a HIllary supporter! |
|
It did my heart good to see the pundits and pollsters crash and burn. Did NO ONE think about the huge percentage of independent voters in NH, and how that would skew any poll? I'm just a dirty hippy, and I knew that.

11. So nice to see Brokaw take Tweety to the woodshed |
|
KO also took Tweety to the shed. It was just sheer joy to see Tweety finally get his!

18. I loved Tweety's "I'll never underestimate Hillary Clinton again." comment. |
|
Yeah, wonder what his new meme will be? I'm tired. Did I spell that right? I just can't sleep tonight. I'm so stoked over this win that the eyes won't close. Good friends and Hill supporters, maybe we did it all just by wishing it so? Never can tell, can you. Gosh this win feels tremendous. I hope she goes all the way.

22. That is so true, Herman. Something good to hold onto. |

Thanks, guy. I may not share your enthusiasm for Sen. Clinton, but reading this post brought a smile to my face.

23. I stayed up much later than I wanted |
|
just to see if Matthews could spontaenously combust. I loved it when Rachel Maddow (I think it was her) informed Chris he was the reason Hillary was winning. Watching the pundits was a lot of fun tonight. Maybe now they'll let the voters have the final say.
