Bad Romance -- Lady Gaga
I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it's free
I want your love
(Love-love-love I want your love)I want your drama
The touch of your hand
I want your leather-studded kiss in the sand
I want your love
The media's fascination with Sarah Palin and the tea party is a bad romance inflicted on us all. It's difficult not to think of the media as a monolith as they slavishly lap up every little soundbyte and video opp that Palin is only too happy to provide. And we'll be treated to some more of this Palin romance this morning on Fox News Sunday. I don't know about you, but I'm going to watch Nancy Pelosi on Face the Nation instead. At least there's a greater chance of rational thought there, instead of the word salad we're sure to get from Quitty McHalfTerm. Mercifully, we're spared David Gregory, since the French Open is pre-empting Meet the Press. Other than that, it looks like Austan Goolsbee is bringing his whiteboard to try to put a happy face on the economy. I just got one question: where are the jobs?
