The media adulation of Barack Obama has reached it's, er...climax with Evan Thomas and Chris Matthews doing to Obama what even Monica Lewinsky did to Slick Willy:
Chris Matthews: ...We Americans are that rattlesnake on that first flag, ‘Don't tread on me.’ But what I liked about the President's speech in Cairo was that it showed a complete humility. What he did was rob from the enemy, those who want to destroy us, their main case, the belief that only by extremism can the East reach equality of dignity with the West. The question now is whether the President we elected and spoke for us so grandly yesterday can carry out the great vision he gave us and to the world. If he can, he'll be honoring what happened on D-day 65 years ago tomorrow. He will be delivering the world once again from evil. Evan Thomas is editor at large for Newsweek magazine. Evan, you remember '84. It wasn't 100 years ago. Reagan and World War II and the sense of us as the good guys in the world, how are we doing?My Lord, there hasn't been a deep throat equivalent to that since Jim McGreevey was cruising truck stops servicing anonymous truck drivers (not sure if he ever quit that habit, though).
EVAN THOMAS: Well, we were the good guys in 1984, it felt that way. It hasn't felt that way in recent years. So Obama’s had, really, a different task We're seen too often as the bad guys. And he – he has a very different job from – Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is ‘we are above that now.’ We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something – I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God. He’s-
MATTHEWS: Yeah.
THOMAS: He's going to bring all different sides together. It's a very different-
The old media is as dead as FDR at this point but Thomas and Matthews have finally thrown dirt on the rotting, fetid corpse. This is why people tune into alternative news, Fox and read blogs because liberals like Thomas are running what was once a respected magazine that is now way past the point of unreadable and soon to be one of those unwanted local news rags you get sent in the mail.

That's right you idiots, the Arab world's main case is their lack of dignity in comparison with the west.??
Where on earth do they get these talking points? Do they not even listen to the other side? They just dismiss them as if what they say doesn't matter.
That's sounds like dissing someone if I ever heard it!
