BUSH CRITIC SLAMS MEDIA COVERAGE OF BUSH

BUSH CRITIC SLAMS MEDIA COVERAGE OF BUSH: How's that for a headline, huh? Well, here's the story. Mark Crispin Miller, author of The Bush Dyslexicon, now has a one-man show, "Bush are Us," playing off-off-off Broadway. The "so-called liberal media" aren't reporting on it, and some big newspapers have been highly critical of Miller's work. It just proves that the media are in Bush's pocket, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

A little more than a year ago, I blogged about an article Miller wrote that revealed his utter contempt for those who hold political views different from his. Check it out here. As I wrote at that time:

Miller's article can be summed up thusly: people who don't agree with Mark Crispin Miller are anti-intellectual dolts, and their sometimes unsophisticated criticism of the enlightened Mark Crispin Millers of the world threatens to engulf us all in a dark night of right-wing censorship and bad grammar.

Again, go here for more.

UPDATE: Well, it seems Mark Crispin Miller was being a bit dishonest in his interview. Check out this passage:

Even the oft-labeled "liberal" newspapers can fall victim to touch-up jobs, Miller maintains. He refers to a recent Washington Post profile of News York Times columnist Paul Krugman, which described how Times Executive Editor Howell Raines barred Krugman from accusing Bush of "lying" during his presidential campaign. Yet on the same op-ed page, conservative columnist William Safire called Senator Hillary Clinton a "congenital liar."

It turns out Safire called Hillary Clinton a "congenital liar" in 1996, when she was first lady and not (openly) running for any political office. Safire used the term in a column about the Travelgate escapade. (Read all about it here.)
