BREAKING NEWS! Metaphor beaten to death on CNN!!
I cannot believe what I just saw.
AEI shill Bill Schneider just did one of his cutesy 'reports' about the Dem primaries. The 'hook' of this one was that the Dem primaries are like 'The Night Of The Living Dead.'
He went on - money is 'like blood to a vampire.' If Howard Dean doesn't win somewhere tomorrow, he'll be 'The Undead.' The only way to 'drive a stake' through an 'undead' candiate's heart was to shut off the supply of 'blood' - campaign contributions.
It started stupid and ended stupider. Between this piece of shit report and Kyra Phillips giggling like a ten year old at Janet Jackson's boob, I'm beginning to wonder why they even call themselves a news outlet any more. My suggestion - re-name yourselves 'Bad Comedy Central' and be done with it already.

It's even more frightening to consider that CNN has more gravitas than either MSNBC or Fox. And yes, I heartily agree that Bill Schneider is a seriously annoying pain in the ass.
If you get Time Warner cable in NY, you really should check out channel 103 - the CBC: it's like the BBC except you don't need subtitles.

Or you could just move on up to Canada and be able to get it free of charge. ;)
Yay for the CBC.
