By ZamboniWe cats have been alerted to a new right-wing bugaboo: The number of journalists who have joined the Obama Administration. To them, this is sure proof of left-wing media bias — which they're certain not only elected Obama last fall, but helped destroy the prospects of their do-no-wrong goddess, Sarah Palin.
All this fussing puts big Cheshire grins on our faces, especially now that Jill Zuckman from The Chicago Tribune has taken a job as the public information officer for the Transportation Department.
Never mind that reporters may find more economic security in public service than the dying industry of print journalism. Never mind that Ms. Zuckman worked at a newspaper with a vast and storied Republican history. And never mind that she's gone to work for a Republican member of the Obama Cabinet, Ray LaHood. She's a Commie liberal socialist Marxist!
But here's our favorite little exchange du jour, over at Free Republic. It was started by someone who calls herself "autumnraine."
"Can you imagine if George Bush had picked a Fox News reporter for an adminstration post?" she huffs.
"Like Tony Snow?............. " replies a Freeper named Red Badger.
Whoops!
"OK, good point," autumnraine admits.
Now if only Red Badger could tell autumnraine, since she likes to quote him so much, how to spell Kris Kristofferson's last name. Or break the news to her that Kristofferson's official website says, "God bless Obama. God bless America. And God bless the others outside our borders."
UPDATE, February 21: We don't know if Red Badger or someone else told her, but autumnraine has made a valiant attempt to correct the spelling of her lefty hero's last name. Unfortunately, now she's got it as "Kristoferrson." Poor darling.
