Plumbing the depths baby.



Ransom Stoddard: You're not going to use the story, Mr. Scott?

Maxwell Scott: No, sir. This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.

(The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, 1962)

One of teh intersting things in that movie is the comparison between the old, political Senator and the young, idealistic attorney.

What a difference a few years in office will do.

This whole Joe the Plumber thing is bringing out all the lefties who don't know what to do with themselves now that Palin's not here to kick around anymore.

sigh.

I watched the Joe T. Plumber video on Pajamas Media. Other than a bit of rookie stammering, he did every bit as good a job as Christiane Ammanpour. Maybe better, actually.

That's what's so funny, Michael H. JtP could be a total moron and still be just as good as all the other "reporters" we're stuck with now.

The complaints about JtP: "He's a fame whore and an attention hog!" or "He's a biased idiot!" ... standard fare for those in journalism.
