Andrew Malcolm is bored, too

Village boredom with authentic answers to real problems is, sadly, all we can expect.

See....the Village needs anti-boredom stuff....like militia-man Chuck Norris, the 'all things to all people', Joe the Plumber, and "real Americans" from "real America" Palin talk.

Stuff like that keeps the Villagers from, you know, nodding off.

I guess during Bush's press conferences it wasn't as boring kind of like a train wreck isn't boring.  I got it now.

This is because the MSM is controlled by large corps who see this as entertainment, or another way to pull in adverstisers. Now, if Obama had done a variety show, then Coke & Pepsi would have made News Corp and GE very happy.

Guess Malcolm has ADD and can't handle substantive answers to questions

This kind of idiotic critique of the man's personal bearing, which of course completely ignores what he says, in favor of how he says it... it sometimes makes me think the intent is to make the man self-conscious, and to knock him off his affable charm (which is one of the things that endears him to us).

I believe it was maybe what was behind the "punch drunk" thing, and I have always believed it was certainly behind the "cackle" crap that they threw Mrs. Clinton's way.

If they the media hacks find they are not being taken seriously enough by President Obama (and Mrs. Clinton too), and even worse, if they think they are being laughed at (as both the President and Mrs. Clinton perhaps did), then they the media hacks get small-mindedly all pizzy, and become vindictive and acid-tongued ("cackled" and "punch drunk" are good examples of that), and they the media hacks bend themselves to the task of making the other at least serious in the matter, if not self-conscious.

But I say screw them, and just laugh some more, louder and right in their anguished and stung faces: because who the freak do they the media hacks think they are, someone important and worthy of respect?

That in itself is just more cause to laugh at them. And that's exactly what to do: laugh, and laugh more and laugh louder...

And the whole while you're laughing, you look right into their anguished little small-minded faces, and you enjoy how their own acid burns them so from the inside, as you (truly!) watch them shrink in stature, and (truly!) watch them burn and turn vindictive...

Laugh right at them, because who the freak do these media hacks think they are, respectful and worthy people?

What a joke!

hey, let's ne fair to laura's flak, I actually heard fat kkkarl use on fox noise that exact phrase: "mailed it in."

So, it is fully endorsed by the wurlitzer.

Well, his colleague, Peter Wallsten totally panned the press conference in an 'analysis' for the Chicago Tribune/LA Times.

Concluding that there were “no memorable moments” and that Obama was ‘less at ease’, he then included this extremely revealing comment:

… Obama seemed to use the venue, so familiar as a tool of outreach to mainstream Americans, to continue his efforts at reaching key, niche audiences.

He passed over reporters from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times, opting instead to call on correspondents from Univision, Ebony magazine and Stars and Stripes.

So in this guy’s world view, you have the NYT, WSJ and the LA Times (i.e. ‘mainstream Americans’) in one corner while in the other you have the ‘niche audiences’ consisting apparently of latinos, blacks and the American Armed Forces.

Sounds like Col. McCormick came back and wrote this himself!

"Professors are boring, because I lack intellectual curiosity, or because I am a fascist and realize that intellectuals are a threat to corporate power. You pick."

Dear Andrew Malcolm:

Obama is not a clown. He is not here to amuse you. He is not here to make you laugh.

If we had wanted a clown, we would have repealed the 22nd Amendment and given Bush a third term.

"Anticlimatic"?  Really?
