The Daily Snark

John Ridley: Stop the Presses: Al Sharpton's a Hatemongeringt Hypocrite"...Toward the tail end of that TV news cycle whipped storm, when it was pointed out to Al that a variation of Imus's rant could be heard with an exponent in heavy rotation within a certain variety of rap music, Al promised to go at the extreme ends of the music business with the same camera-whoring zeal with which he attacked Imus.

On the 12th it will have been a month since Imus was dropped by CBS.

Though I make a point of closely following the news, I was apparently otherwise occupied during the ten minutes Al was flogging his big Anti-misogyny in Music Campaign...."

Chris Kelly:"Every time Michael Medved interprets a poll, a statistician dies. According to Medved, a made-up non-quasi-plurality of Democrats don't not not think that the president didn't see 9/11 coming..."

James Wolcott:"It has not been a bravura week in the right blogosphere.

Despite giving it her Diamandas Galas banshee all, Shamela of Atlas Shrugs was able only to whip up eight to ten stragglers for an anti-CAIR protest rally in midtown Manhattan. So sad. As one disillusioned citizen-soldier moped, "There were no press at all, not even a kooky cable station. I was so surprised, I mean here I am in a city where there are what, 20 million people in a 30 mile radius, most of which read the internet, hopefully concerned about our fate, and 8 people show up?" I blame the low turnout on Shamela's foolhardy decision to defect from Pajamas Media and exile herself to the cold, distant, obscure interstellar reaches of the internet. She shouts into the void to no avail..."
