Over at worldnetdaily Pat Boone (yes, THAT Pat Boone) serves up a health dose of conservative whupass on the liberal media for their virtual coronation of Hillary Clinton as the next President and what he believes is a concerted effort to ignore the Republican contenders. The actual commentary needs to be read to be believed. Well, not so much believed as marveled at.
Perhaps, in fact, the reason that more people are capable of naming a Democrat than a Republican in the race for president has nothing to do with the much-ballyhooed "liberal bias" of the media and everything to do with the public's quite astute observation that the top-tier Republican candidates are almost as ignorant as certain neocon, has-been, aging pop stars shilling for them.
And whom does Boone (my, wouldn't great-granddaddy be proud!) hold up as paragons of journalistic integrity? Why, "Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Reagan, Ann Coulter, and Laura Ingraham and a host of other articulate and informed talk-show hosts...", of course! And just what is it that they they're doing to warn the ignorant, liberal-media-brainwashed masses of the danger to all that is good and godly? They're calling Hillary "Bill Clinton in a pantsuit", confusing "Obama with Osama", and marveling that "that little kid Johnny Edwards is trying to be president of the United States!"
Boone confuses a childlike penchant for discernment with childish commentary and applauds the conservative punditry for the latter. Perhaps he should stick to singing. Wait, on second thought...
In case you don't know who Pat Boone is/was, here's a picture from the 1995 Grammy awards
Yes, this man is lecturing the American public on propriety and political discourse.

When my mom was a kid in Philadelphia, Pat Boone had lunch at her house after church - twice!
