Crybaby Conservatives

Not satisfied with control of all three branches of government, talk radio, and business, conservatives' complaints have lead them into a featured role on the mainstream media.

Apparently some in the media haven't' been following the GOP script over the past few year and have ventured into digging into stories and reporting facts as opposed to a what's presented on the All-Spin Zone, also know as Fox News.

Unlike the 2000 Presidential election when, like good little boys, as the American Prospect recently wrote, "the MSM deputized itself judge, jury, and executioner for [Al] Gore's 2000 presidential campaign, spinning each day's events to portray the stolid, capable vice president as a wild exaggerator, ideological chameleon, and total, unforgivable bore.

Lately, like a Rip Van Winkle who awoke from a conservative spell, the media have been rising off their knees and questioning the administration. Knowing this day would come, conservatives have been complaining for years about lack of representation in the MSM, hoping they could infiltrate and overtake this habit of looking for the truth.

So in effort to balance well-reported, thoughtful work (which, if anything supports conservatives more than liberals) the Post knuckled under and opened its website to a Republican operative and not surprisingly he immediately act like as a traditional conservative, complaining about how conservatives are treated well and how they don't get enough respect.

Unknowingly, Red America gave an inside glimpse of itself and its supporters when it attempted to criticize a Toronto Star story on sociology study that explained that said Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative.

Well, duh! Just look at George Bush. He loses the 2000 election but like a spoiled baby he gets his way and the White House. And just as a spoiled baby grows up to be a spoiled brat, Bush now demands he get his way, whether or not it's good for the country.

Perhaps the country could hire the SuperNanny to straighten out Baby Bush, but instead just as parents can only look forward to when their spoiled brat leaves home, America will be left to count the days until the Crybaby in Chief leaves office.
