You were wondering how stupid they could be?

Barbaro‚s Desperate Fight for Life Gripped a Nation in Anguish
By HARVEY ARATON (NY Times)

Why this national obsession with Barbaro? Maybe, as the fallen champion, the horse was reminiscent of a country that was seriously wounded on 9/11 and has been wobbly ever since.

The Wapo had similar nonsense. I can only say ummm and burn my journalism degree. Is the nation really gripped with anguish about the travails of this horse? I speak to a lot of people every day, people from all parts of the country, and I’ve never heard anyone say a word about it. And the horse is reminiscent of a country that was seriously wounded on 9/11? How out of touch can these top level journalism creatures be?

Way fucking out of touch, and that doesn’t even begin to describe them. I’d suggest that we avenge Barbaro’s death by bombing Iran, but it’s possible that a journalist might read it. We sure don’t want to put any more stupid ideas into their empty heads.
