Slightly Piss-Hued

I should be getting to bed, but I don't want to miss the chance to share this strongly worded editorial from today's Boston Metro, the journalistic quality (not in the favorable sense) of which quite surprised me when I read it on the subway this morning.

The editorial mentions (straw-Iowan's) Obama with references to Marx and Mao, and accuses him of "political cowardice" (with an ironically impersonal wording). Hillary is compared to Lucrezia, Bonnie Parker, a defecting spy, and a sadist.

Anyways, I was surprised the Metro published the thing, but I guess journalism still has its old flair. Also, you get what you pay for, and the Metro's hawkers are a hard-working bunch; I've never seen anyone else work so hard to sell something free.

politics, media
