A Media Filled with Bimbos

MSNBC continues to comb the depths. From what you are about to see, I'd say Jon Stewart was perilously close to being correct in assuming equivalency between MSNBC and Fox.

Watch a totally clueless, disconnected panel of wealthy elitists discuss the Super Committee's failure and whether or not Barack Obama should be blamed for all of this. The participants on this panel are two Brits - a conservative journalist writing for the Financial Times and the privately educated jolly-hockey-sticks daughter of a lord of the realm (really, one can almost hear her snort when she laughs; an ageing trust fund babe, scion of the radical chic, whose every achievement has been bought and paid for by either Mommy, Daddy or her much older husband; and a corporate millionaire media hack, who's sucked at the Huffington tit (literally). The panel appeared to be moderated by Moon Unit Zappa, who's grown up to be Alex Wagner.

Like ... gag me with a spoon, you guys ... fer shur fer shur.

Prepare to be mesmerized by a wave of sheer political aptitude and intellectual acumen.

Now ... take a long drink ...

So, there they all sat, eventually talking about a hyper-ventilating media when they were really ... well, doing a good job of acting the part of a hyper-ventilating media.

To begin with, I don't know why in hell the Brits were there. They certainly have problems of their own with which to contend. Gillian Tett, the bimbo on the left, is the US correspondent for the Financial Times, which is the paper of the fabled 1% in Britain, and whilst it isn't owned by Rupert Murdoch, it's sister publication, The Times of London, is.

I'm even more baffled that Imogen Lloyd Webber, the bimbo on the Right is even there, much less that she's a bona fide political commentator employed by MSNBC, in its latest round of gathering daughters of famous daddies. Already, MSNBC have offered employment to such charitable cases as Chelsea Clinton, late of Wall Street, Meghan McCain, blogette, and Jenna Bush, Dubya's diddum. Of course, all had a vast expanse of journalistic experience. Not.

At least, all of the above grew up directly in the path of politics and politicians, which is more than one can say for the Honourable Imogen Lloyd Webber (that's her title, since daddy is a lord). Here are her credentials:-

Lloyd Webber was educated at Queen's College, London and Girton College, Cambridge, where she majored in Modern Political History, specialising in the role of worldwide intelligence agencies and their impact on our times.[3] [4] She formed ILW Productions, a theatre production company, to discover new commercial theatre work by up and coming playwrights. Its debut show, Touched... For The Very First Time, written by Zoe Lewis, directed by Douglas Rintoul and starring Sadie Frost ran at the Trafalgar Studios in London's West End in 2009.

Her non-fiction book, The Single Girl's Guide, was published by Summersdale in the United Kingdom in April 2007, and as The Single Girl's Survival Guide by Skyhorse Publishing in the US in October 2007 and again in February 2011. She is currently adapting it into a screenplay for Lloyd Levin and is writing a new book.[5]

Lloyd Webber now lives in New York City where she is a contributor for MSNBC.

Daddy, by the way, is a Conservative, and her contribution to the discussion, about which, it was clear, she understood jack shite, was to wave her arms about and cry out about the fact that "in her little country, they did things differently."

Well, yes, dear, we know. We fought a Revolution some years ago to extricate ourselves from hereditary rule and taxation without representation.

Jesus Christ, if that weren't enough, we have Randolph Hearst's zombie, Mort Zuckerman, who somehow can't seem to decide if he'd rather be Canadian or American. Of one thing he is certain, however, and that's that he's having buyer's remorse about a black man in the White House. A black man who doesn't lead (because that's one thing black men have never done, right, Mort?) I love the big lie he promotes about everyone - as in everyone in the United States blaming the President for the failure of the Super Committee and the fact that this President couldn't harness Congress to do his will.

First, Mort, he truly didn't have the votes, and he had to contend with people like Joe Lieberman, your Zionist friend, and Ben Nelson on our side. Secondly, Mort, the debt ceiling brouhaha was something he really shouldn't have been forced into confronting. No President had done so previously. Congress just passed the thing. But the writing has always been on the wall since January 2009, from the GOP and from your ilk, one of whom is sitting on that panel with you, that Barack Obama should fail. The GOP did their job with a vengeance, and your fancy woman, Arianna, ratfucked all the scatterbrained EmoProgs, with a lot of help from MSNBC, most especially, the inarticulate Moon Unit Zappa clone sitting in the middle of that motley crew at the table. She worked for Queen Ratfucker Omnipotent of Medialand before being exiled to MSNBC ... duuuuuhhhh, you guys.

Mort wants a parliamentary system, where the power lies with the governing body and not the people. In Britain, when you vote, you don't vote for David Cameron or his bungy-nosed rival, Ed Milliband. You vote for your local representative. If his party happens to get the most seats, then the leader of that party, elected by the other elected reps of the same party and not the people, becomes Prime Minister. You'd really like that?

And finally, looking increasingly like a Marc Jacobs bag lady with a fifth of scotch hidden in the designer bag, Katrina vanden Heuvel, presumes to talk about the 99%, the poor, unfortunate underemployed, the little people, whilst out the other side of her mouth, she's just filled with helpful suggestions as to how the help President Obama should do his job. Because, like all wealthy white women who know nothing but somehow are regarded as political sages in this sorry media world, she just knows.

And, as ever, Katrina reaches for the stereotype when she accuses the British media of being "a media filled with hackers."

And since I've watched this via the wonders of "t'Internet," as they say here in the UK, I get to watch the beginning of this sham last, so the nature of its descent into elitist posing is brought home to me.

I'll share it with you, but it comes with some warnings:-

First, vanden Heuvel finally gets the purpose of the Super Committee, which was always ever going to fail. Zuckerman doesn't, and whilst he identifies himself as a Democrat, vanden Heuvel has enough nous about her to actually reveal him as what he truly is - a Joe Lieberman-style DINO. Kudos to her again, for pointing out to the lith-ping Conservative Brit apologiser for the Cameron government on her right, that Cameron's austerity measures actually meant that the British economy is now suffering negative growth and rising unemployment, especially amongst youth.

But I reserve my utter contempt for the cheerleader daughter of Lloyd Webber and Moon Unit Wagner. All Lloyd Webber could do was jump up and down, wave her arms and breathlessly rant about what she learned in school how America should be. At times she sounded like Horshack's English sister. Sit down. And Wagner waved back, making cutting movements in the air as she got increasingly more inarticulate, reverting to her usual bdyah-bdyeee-bdyaaah stutters and sound bytes.

I wanted to reach through the screens, grab a handful of hair together and bang their heads together, thus splitting the same brain cell they share.

Instead of a media full of hackers, as Britain supposedly has, we have a media full of bimbos.
