THIS MAY SOUND CALLOUS...
But I'll be damned if I can understand why the worldwide media rallies round the cause of a poor teenage girl from Alabama who goes missing in Aruba, obviously the victim of foul play by little Dutch cocksuckers.
Oh. Wait. Aruba. Gee. Let me see. Had this girl gone missing in Cairo, or Islamabad, or Bombay, this story would be page 21.
But Aruba! No wonder there are 2,000 journalists there, covering this Important Breaking Story, which, let's be honest, will never break unless a horseshoe crab shits a bit of her DNA.
My heart breaks for this child's family. Don't think it does not. But I see an entire media industry sunning on the beach in Aruba, yawning over the latest blurb from one of the perp's fathers.
Fucking scumbags. Given enough time, and enough horseshoe crabs, I would get my visa stamped, and wade into that cesspool of whores and rock their world in a most opprobrious fashion. And I would pull out my duffel bag, and show them Sean Hannity's head, who has been perhaps the most craven fuck of all about this tragedy.
How are your Arbitrons, Sean? You fucking whore.
Okay. I'm done.
Hannity is all about sound bites (bytes, these days?).
For the most part, I agree with his conservative cant. But he is Limbaugh Lite.
Say what you will about Rush, but he ain't stupid and he ain't unoriginal.
He is the Howard Stern of the Conservative Talk Radio genre. Love them or hate them, they are unique.
Limbaugh is a great entertainer. Hannity is a pissy little fool. I don't listen to either much, but that is what I see.

And on the Aruba-whoring, no one can top Greta.
