Desperation Smells Like Shit

Oooh, Hillary and them done stepped in it and you can't escape the smell lingering on their shoes.

I'm not even talking about that random photo of Barack as a "sand nigger" posing as "real nigger." Nah, that has been discussed by enough people in the blogosphere. We all know that the Hillary playbook requires attempts to play on the latent fears and hostilities of Americans, but we also know that it didn't work when she pulled that crap in South Carolina or anywhere else.

Nah, I'm laughing because her campaign is aggresively trotting out the storyline that the media hasn't been paying enough tough attention to Obama and now that needs to change. This ain't a new refrain, hell Billy Boy was saying that all the time before he got muzzled. But, the funny thing is that Hillary and company are using a recent Saturday Night Live skit to buttress her point.

Are they serious?

I don't know which public relations school Hillary's advisers attended, but here's a quick primer from a media type.

If you want to get journalists on your side you don't accuse them of being biased by using a wack ass sketch comedy show as your proof. Not only does it piss them off that you are using faux news to contradict them, but it also reeks of the one thing a political campaign cannot afford to stink of.

Desperation.

See, journalists hate being contradicted, but if you raise your claims in a measured reasonable way they have this compulsion that requires them to at least do a surface analysis of their work if only to prove you wrong. But, when Lorne Michaels is a campaign's Deep Throat, well any points made are almost guaranteed to get the brush off.

In fact, dumbass attempts probably only convince the media that Hillary's campaign is being run by idiots, a conclusion media types have been gradually arriving at for weeks since she lost almost a dozen contests and didn't know the rules of the primaries in Texas. Lashing out at the media while getting your ass handed to you is a sure recipe for getting the same rep as Kucinich or Gravel.

Journalists react to desperation like crackheads react to a dropped rock. It pushes them into attack mode, releases them of all their inhibitions and actually makes them feel justified in doing horrible shit. If a candidate is desperate that candidate is no longer credible and journalists can take their shots without feeling guilty or risking sanctions. If there is one thing journalists hate it's a desperate loser.

Anyway, I find it hilarious that Hillary's privileged arrogant ass is this desperate. It seems like a just dessert for someone who thought the presidency would be handed to them like an after dinner mint. Her attacks and distortions have only made this implosion more sweet.

So, I'll leave Hillary and her bumbling sidekicks with this one piece of advice.

Wipe your asses, you all smell desperate.
