UConn James Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Vanity Fair is a pretty-highly regarded magazine. It's often cited as one of the best-written magazines in the US, and its essays win national awards every year. 824834[/snapback] Who needs your facts, sir!? Don't you know, VF is writing things that don't show the admin in the best light, even with their nacissent supporters, who are now throwing Bush, Rummy and Co. under the bus in said magazine. Ergo, VF must be ridiculed. What did you expect from the pile-on group here on PPP? You need to set your standard of discourse much lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I dislike about VF is they give that pompous ass Chris Hitchens too much space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_blue_bill Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 It's too bad they can't afford to stay on the air. RTB 824631[/snapback] Ya know, I don't listen to talk radio very much. I did love listening to Hannity on the way home from work during the Terri Schivo thing, THAT WAS ENTERTAINING! 'She's about to talk!!' But I have a theory that Conservatives are much more into talk radio because their jobs are much simpler. They can do their little jobs with the radio on because they don't have to think while they do whatever they do. Liberals--who read more, btw--have jobs that require thinking, creativity and action, so no time to sit around and be propagandized. And what time of day is Rush Limbo on? Right during the middle of the day. And what time is Colbert on? At night when Liberals are getting ready to turn in to be ready to work the next day.

KD in CA Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Uhh... actually, Vanity Fair is a long-time literary mag. How you say you read Playboy for the articles, VF just has the articles. Which of course raises the question of why anyone would ever read VF. I can get all the left wing journalism I need plus beautiful naked women in Playboy.

I can't wait to hear this. 824911[/snapback] May I be allowed to alter my theory? Actually the lib and con don't even need to have different jobs, it can be the very same job. Like Clinton and Bush have the same job, one did it with competence they other dithered and vacationed. While Clinton was involved and listened to his advisors, I could very much see Bush sitting there listening to Rush Limbo. We know Cheney only watches Fox. And they do believe their own propaganda, that's pretty obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 It's good some Conservatives are totally embarassed by the like of O'Reilly, Hannity and Rush, too bad so many worship them. And yes we Dems have our scary people too. 824624[/snapback] Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Since when does not watching them equate to being totally embarassed? Totally?? What are you, 17?

Kerry had a perfect congressional attendence record, which is why he personally didn't listen to conservative radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
