My internet connection at work is whack today.
January 31, 2008
It’s super slow, killing my productivity, and it’s giving me the same feeling of frustration as I get when I see faded black jeans.
A few reasons why…
1. Recent Whack quote about Hillary on Hardball:
“…the reason she’s a U.S. senator, the reason she’s a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around.”
2. According to Media Matters, sometime in late 2006, Chris Matthews told Republican pollster Frank Luntz that Clinton gave a “barn-burner speech, which is harder to give for a woman; it can grate on some men when they listen to it — fingernails on a blackboard.”
3. Chris Matthews had George Packer, a lame journalist at The New Yorker, on last night’s Hardball. George Packer had a feature article in this week’s magazine that also happened to lambaste MPS Journalism’s Assoc. Dean Barbara on her work with HRC’s book It Takes A Village. I consider BFT a mentor and I like HRC for her trailblazing. I don’t like journalists who revisit a 12 year-old controversy to make… what point? It should also be noted that Packer’s mean words were not backed up for background by a comment from BFT. She signed a confidentiality agreement. Fair reporting? No. Relevant to the HRC campaign? Not really.
I especially don’t like Chris Matthews lauding lame journalists. The transcript for Harball is not out yet (will be out Monday, Jan 28). Now I like Chris’ fast talk and good points, and I remember last night he did say he liked the article, but it was tough. I don’t think he meant it was tough on Barbara, though.
Not sure how I feel about the school’s paper editor endorsing Obama…
