It seems like purposeful miscasting for political and "hey, look at us" reasons to pop an easy/quick rating in both cases. Neither reason a very good one...other than a short term rating pop or some cheap advertising, it'll probably end up falling flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Santorum, the anti-pink bowling ball candidate By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 3/28/12 7:44 PM EDT From Ginger Gibson, on the trail at the latest bowling alley with Rick Santorum in Wisconsin: Santorum stopped a college student in Onalaska, WI from using a pink bowling ball. The student was part of a group of college Republicans who had gone to bowl with Santorum. When he went to use the neon pink bowling ball, Santorum and an aide stopped him. A nearby reporter led in, "Friends don't let friends...?" "Friends don't let friends use pink balls," Santorum replied.

EvilMonkey Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just a couple of weeks ago, Nicholas Kristof at the New York Times claimed he'd interviewed a former underaged prostitute. She said she'd been pimped when she was 16, often via ads her pimp placed in "Backpage.com." Backpage.com is owned by Village Voice Media -- yes, publishers of the venerable, lefty Village Voice. Backpage.com seems to have a lot of ads for escorts. It's franchised in a few cities. Village Voice countercharged that Kristof had "concocted" the story, because the girl in question was not 16 when Backpage.com existed -- that is, it simply did not exist in 2003 when this girl was 16. It later existed, when she was older, but was only published in a few cities, none of which she lived in. Kristof rebuts "I didn't know there would be any math" in this journalistic career, and also claims she was pimped up and down the east coast, and worked in a few places where Backpage.com was published. A little later than 16 years old, but who cares about such details? (Answer: I do. The fact that she was 16 is what makes this a child sex-trafficking story. Without that, it may be a sex trafficking story, but it's not a child sex trafficking story.) So, shock: Leftist media is involved, hypocritically, in the exploitation of women; another member of the leftist media cooks a story and juices it up and then, when the facts come out, claims the facts don't really matter. It's a gestalt thing or something. Now, here's where it gets biased (as opposed to merely dishonest and shoddy). Goldman Sachs, until recently, owned a stake in Village Voice Media. They decided to sell this off recently. Whether this is about the Kristof cooked story, I don't know. Ann Romney has a blind trust with Goldman Sachs. A blind trust. Meaning she has no idea what they're investing in. Further, of course, it's Goldman Sachs itself which owned the stake-- not their investors. The firm owns things on its own account. So what are the headlines? Ann Romney trust invested in fund that exited sex-site firm (reuters) http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/03/...E83201V20120403 Mitt and Ann Romney? Sex Traffickers? (The Examiner) http://www.examiner.com/liberal-in-baltimo...sex-traffickers Anyone still think they are 'lazy'? The contortions needed to come up with those headlines are amazing. Could have easily been 'Obama White House staff filled with Ex-Child traffickers' since he has so many former Sachs people working for him. Hell, they could have NAMED Goldman Sachs and Village Voice somewhere where the most people see it, but that would be taking too much away from the hype. If two arch-liberal organizations were involved, how can a passive conservative blind-trust investor be blamed for the actions of liberals? And why is she the focus here, rather than the actual active participants? Oh yeah, politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a good laugh out of it? Allow me to explain. If this were, say, George Clooney being cast as the Gipper, I'd do exactly what you expected. Laugh and make fun of the director. Clooney's a goof who I totally disagree with, but I can put up with him. Heck, I'll even watch his movies. His liberalism isn't anything unforgivable. But Hanoi Jane is not that. She's not just some annoying, outspoken liberal. She is a traitorous b**** and I fully believe that in giving support to the VC, she cost many of my brothers and sisters their lives. If you disagree, fine, and if non-vet Repubs only hate her for her views, then whatever. For me, this is very personal. This feud will end when she's dead.
