John Amato’s virtual online magazine…OK, It’s a blog!

Can we start with the bowtie?
and is that Mike Celizza or whatever the hell his name is, that's on Countdown alot?
WTF were they thinking? I mean jesus christ, this was so very lame. Why did they do it and do they do it often? Reporters? More like Saturday Night Live wanna-bees.
I doubt we'll ever see Richard Engel in that sort of silliness. Why? Because he is a serious reporter and journalist and not a silly shit.
What's wrong with it is that it exists as all.
such shenanigans.
Friedrich?
Friedrich?

It explains perfectly what's wrong with the Village - and Milbank in particular. I've long known that he has more interest in performing than reporting.
When Milbank showed up in a hunter's outfit to talk about Cheney shooting Mr. Whittington to see that. We already have far too much of the Villagers stroking their own egos. Why do we need any more?
that wasnt even funny.
Will someone please take these two behind the barn and put them down.
It looked like something two junior high school kids would have put together. I mean no insult to junior high school students because these are supposed to be grown professional men.
There's a great job for Chris Salizza as the next host of Weekend Update on SNL.
On SNL you're supposed to make people laugh. This was embarrassing or should have been for the both of them.
imagine the Obama in tights line being said of Dumbya. There would of been cries of treason from the wingnuts.
I wish you hadn't placed that image of bush wearing tights in my head. It's not pretty, not one bit.
When was this video made? I ask because that was the best they could come up with for Palin? Hell, you could do a half hour show just on her fu*k ups alone.
Well he was a cheerleader.
I always pictured him in a short skirt with pom-poms and a megaphone, singing "I Feel Pretty". ;D
I always pictured him as a wise assed jerk trying to feel up the female cheerleaders or get a glimpse of their underwear.
He creeped me out when I met him at age ten.

We're facing real problems and have real issues to deal with, and these schmucks would rather be working for People Magazine

Yet they do feature a pet peeve of mine: What is so damningly difficult with correctly pronouncing "nuclear", a word frought with such present-day gravitas and consequence?... One therapeutic exercise I offer to any coalition of the willing might be to repeat "new" (or "noo") then "clear"- slowly but very distinctly in succession 10X. Rest a moment- repeat another similar set of ten. Rest again- then execute a final set of 10, gradually increasing speed and fluidity throughout the set. Should this not cure the elocutionary ill, then consider yourself.... well, y'all can fill that in-
Apologies from this linguistic prude to anyone offended by a stodgy and unprogressive observation - Oh- what th'Hell!
"Dipshit Theater". I could only get halfway through. This makes that horrendous Fox half-hour "comedy" show SEEM like Masterpiece Theater.
These fools just elucidate the real problem - the ruling class (including the corporo-fascists, all the government goons and the press and other various hangers-on) think that everything is a big joke!
They're yukking it up, starting wars, stealing IRAs and homes, moving jobs offshore and generally pillaging the world, meanwhile the rest of the People are scrounging for food and shelter and wondering how they'll pay for that emergency appendectomy.
All of these people have no ethics.... and no shame either.
Sociopaht's and fascism go together like Bush and f**king up. They are inseperable.
the lot of them! We should require all potential political candidates to go through a battery of psychological tests and make the results public.
Of course, that would have been a waste of taxpayers money in the case of Bush, as anyone who voted for him in the first place also needed his/her head examined!
Let's face it, as an ongoing megaphone for the lies and bs spewed by Drudge, Chris Cillizza is nothing but a gossip columnist--at best--anyway.
He belongs with the "Washington Toast."
I can see why Olbermann ditched Milbanks. What a loofa.
(clapping) "Awful!, Awful!"
I thought it was, "Jane you ignorant slut!"
It is terribly unfunny?
Lame?
Boring?
Stupid?
Proof that journalism is dead?
Proof that one can't get 4 minutes and 4 seconds of their life back?
