The bullshit keeps a-flying

In typical NY Times fashion, just as the newspaper has no problem hiring an intellectually bereft asshole for their op ed page (even as they let go 100 from the newsroom) who has said the NY Times editors should be tried for treason, and find it funny when Ann Coulter says Timothy McVeigh should have blown up their building, they let Limbaugh say bullshit like this unchallenged:

“I would like today to announce a tentative decision — I’m still thinking about it — to endorse Barack Obama,” he said, his head cocked slightly toward his 18-karat-gold-plated microphone, his hands spread wide like the wings of his sleek G4 jet.

Mr. Limbaugh then listed nearly a dozen qualities he said he found admirable in Mr. Obama. “Barack Obama is pro-life,” he began. “Barack Obama is a tax-cutter extraordinaire.”

If neither statement was descriptive of Mr. Obama, a liberal Democrat, nor was there much hope for what followed. “Barack Obama will establish a college football playoff, once and for all,” Mr. Limbaugh said. “Barack Obama will offer free-beer Fridays.”

His point, Mr. Limbaugh said, was that Mr. Obama represented “a blank canvas upon which anyone can project their fantasies and desires.”

As I said, bullshit. It's the narrative Clinton's tried to create and, of course, Limbaugh is happy to push it forward, especially if he can disguise it as anti-McCain flack. And in the pages of the NEW. YORK. TIMES. His faux nemesis. That's a two-fer. Maybe a three-fer.

Via Atrios, Attytood takes on another example of this growing false narrative.
