Tabloid.

Checking out at the supermarket today, I noticed the headline on The Globe.

ADDED: The visual:

Icepick said...: Ann, I was thinking it sounded like a dessert made from old people.; 6/21/06, 2:10 PM
John said...: You should contribute the $10 to Madsen! He's in the middle of a pledge drive.

With news like this:
June 21, 2006 -- "Nevada Democratic gubernatorial candidate Leola McConnell, who revealed that she witnessed George W. Bush perform a homosexual act in Tennessee in 1984, reports that she has received a number of death threats from right-wing extremists."
...he is truly a beacon of light in the fog of the MSM!; 6/21/06, 2:21 PM
Troy said...: Come on Icepick -- everyone knows that Soylent Green is made from old people.

I agree, when I saw Lyndon Larouche (French for "the rouche") come up I was looking for alien probing to come next.

I don't buy the story anyway... Everyone also knows (besides the Soylent Green thing) that Bush hates Black people -- unless the boots were just too much to resist. Bring it on! Let's Roll! Let's go "look for WMD!"

This sets the grounds for a Rice family to claim Bush heritage sometime in the 23rd century. Of course Neil Bush will be the actual father.; 6/21/06, 2:49 PM
Beth said...: What is it with the insistent and feeble attempts to find a Coulter-counter on the left? There is none. Who the hell is Wayne Madsen?; 6/21/06, 4:52 PM

John said...: Elizabeth: "What is it with the insistent and feeble attempts to find a Coulter-counter on the left? There is none. "

It isn't that there are none, it's that there are none as financially successful. Al Franken and Randi Rhodes have delivered their share of ascerbic rhetoric. James Carville isn't known for his civility. Michael Moore? The problem is, no one can listen for long.

I'm not a Coulter fan, but she does something the left wannabes don't - she sells!; 6/21/06, 5:07 PM
Beth said...: John, if "ascerbic" is your criteria, you're not even in the ballpark for Coulter. She's despicable. That she sells is a comment on the people who buy what she's selling.; 6/21/06, 6:18 PM
Beth said...: Who is taking this seriously? It's inane to attribute any kind of credulousness to "the left"; this is on the order of Aliens Visit the White House. It's tabloid idiocy. It's not about right or left, it's about lunacy.; 6/21/06, 7:55 PM
Beth said...: despite the fact that it was planted into the blogosphere by Hillary's people

Well, it ended up in this part of the blogosphere through Ann's being amused by it at the grocery checkout. Is Ann secretly working for Hillary?; 6/21/06, 7:56 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Yeah, who's taking this seriously? I saw it in the checkout line and laughed. Why not take that bat child seriously?; 6/21/06, 9:50 PM

One of the reasons that this story hasn't had any legs, despite the fact that it was planted into the blogosphere by Hillary's people.

Do you have any evidence of this?

It seems that the answer by the right to outrageous claims in tabloids (which as we well know are journalistic beacons of truth and integrity), is to make outrageous claims of their own, which usually involve the Clintons.; 6/22/06, 3:36 AM
