25 October 2011 | A Phony Cat Fight

The Media Glitterati love nothing more than a slap fest between political rivals, and they're in overdrive mode covering the "increasingly bitter" feud between Rick Perry and Mitt "Mittens" Romney.

It's about as real as these alleged debates are substantive.

Our hapless media fucks love handicapping political races because it provides endless hours of flapping mouths that might otherwise have to deal with mundane infotainment. So the narrative they've chosen to push is that Rick Perry is doomed: his poll numbers are terrible (though he still raises a lot of money), his debate performances suck, and he seems addicted to birtherism. The question now posed is: is this man ready to be president?

Unforunately for the media, they're not so in love with Mittens. In the Perry as Loser narrative, Mittens is the presumptive candidate and the one to beat, or as they like to say, "it's his race to lose." Sure, the media might be distracted by the Herman Cain Clown Show, but that's only because Michelle Bachmann is no longer as entertaining as she was a couple months ago. So like easily distracted children, the media has decided that the cat fight between Perry and Mittens is more entertaining, more *serious* and that warrants the attention and the narrative they need to push to frame their endless blatherings.

Remember that John McCain was written off early in the 2008 campaign season as well, with every loudmouth on television signing off on his obituary. But then look what happened. Likewise, the media had resigned itself to dealing with Hillary Clinton as the presumptive Democratic candidate, until they fell in love with Barack Obama and decided to push his candidacy as the favored one. Then they all did a phony post-mortum and decided on all the "mistakes" that Hillary had made as an effort to forgive themselves for driving the bus they threw her under (Matt Taibi, Randi Rhoades.) So despite the doom and gloom from these fucks, I'm not so sure Perry should be written off so easily.

After all, it's not as if another moron from Texas was prevented from sitting in the White House, right?
