Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Bizarre story of the day, “French gay soccer team” edition

Isn’t “French” and “gay” redundant?  I mean, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that!”  :lol:   Excerpt:

A French gay soccer team says its members were victims of homophobia when a team of Muslim players refused to play a match against them.

The Paris Foot Gay team says Tuesday it received an e-mail from the Creteil Bebel club canceling a match scheduled for last Sunday.

“Because of the principles of our team, which is a team of devout Muslims, we can’t play against you,” the e-mail said, according to Paris Foot Gay. The e-mail received Saturday said, “Our convictions are much more important than a simple football match.”

Exit question #1: Is there a designated “straight” soccer team?

Exit question #2: Since when was sexual preference a descriptor of a soccer team?

CNN fact checks…SNL spoof?

Saturday Night Live did a skit where actor Fred Armisen, impersonating B.O., said (among other things) that he had accomplished two things since taking over: Jack and Squat.  It was an amusing skit, although Armisen needs to work on his B.O. impression a bit more.

Anywho, it was a spoof.  That’s what they do at SNL.  Yet what does Wolf Blitzer do at CNN?  He puts together a fact-check segment to debunk a friggin’ SNL skit!  Details (video at the site):

CNN: Thy name is shameless.

Stooping to depths only MSNBC would explore on a bad day, CNN’s The Beard attempted to rescue his Dear Leader from SNL’s “not fair” and “not true” segment of Obama over the weekend. Can you believe this? When has this been done before? Did SNL get fact-checked over their “I can see Russia from my backyard” comment by Tina Fey? [BTW: For all of you who failed to receive a fact-checking from CNN, Palin actually said you can see Russia from Alaska].

Grabbing a second helping of shamelessness, CNN labels Tina Fey’s impression of Palin “dead on” at the end of their fact-checking segment. No matter what side of the aisle you stand on, you have to admit this is embarrassing and distressing. [H/T: Lee Habeeb]

No wonder CNN’s 8:00 pm show with Campbell Brown is getting creamed by Fox News Channel’s Red Eye…which comes on at 3:00 a.m.! Maybe CNN should worry about their own programming instead of running interference for a thin-skinned president being lampooned in a comedy skit?

Nope…no liberal media bias!

How to gin up support for ObamaCare, “botched photo op” style

Nothing says “The medical community wants ObamaCare” quite like sockpuppeting the medical community, no?  Details:

President Obama yesterday rolled out the red carpet — and handed out doctors’ white coats as well, just so nobody missed his hard-sell health-care message.

In a heavy-handed attempt at reviving support for health-care reform, the White House orchestrated a massive photo op to buttress its claim that front-line physicians support Obama.

A sea of 150 white-coated doctors, all enthusiastically supportive of the president and representing all 50 states, looked as if they were at a costume party as they posed in the Rose Garden before hearing Obama’s pitch for the Democratic overhaul bills moving through Congress.

The physicians, all invited guests, were told to bring their white lab coats to make sure that TV cameras captured the image.

But some docs apparently forgot, failing to meet the White House dress code by showing up in business suits or dresses.

So the White House rustled up white coats for them and handed them to the suited physicians who had taken seats in the sun-splashed lawn area.

All this to provide a visual counter to complaints from other doctors that pending legislation is bad news for the medical profession.

“Nobody has more credibility with the American people on this issue than you do,” Obama told his guests.

The president was flanked by four white-coated doctors at a podium as he delivered his pep talk.
