Fasten your seat belts, Breitbart promises MSM a bumpy week

by

Those who read conservative (and libertarian) blogs know by now, Andrew Breitbart, who through his BigGovernment.com website released the videos which drew the corruption at ACORN to the attention of the nation, says we should preepare for a “blockbuster” “from left field” next week.

Patterico thinks it will involve the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) where an Obama appointee was caught “seeking to use government funds to promote Obama administration initiatives.”  That the leading post on Big Hollywood (as I write this post) is a “Pregame report” on the “NEA Conference Call” does seem to bear him out.

No wonder Tom Maguire is in Patterico’s camp, speculating that we might “be treated to tapes of undercover reporters posing as artists and proposing over the top Obama-boosting ‘art’ to enthusiastically nodding NEA grant directors.”  Mickey Kaus, while calling ACORN a bad apple, offers that it’s “apparently not another” story about the controversial left-wing organization.

Whatever it is, I share Patterico’s prediction that just “as the media was caught flatfooted by the ACORN scandal, so too will they be rocked back on their heels by the next bombshell.”

As Jim Hoft says, “get the popcorn.”  Fasten your seat belts fellows, it’s going to be a bumpy week.  And far bumpier for the MSM than it will be for bloggers.  So, let’s let Bette help get us ready:

  1. Channelling federal money to pay for partisan propaganda is not Orwellian. Bailing out left wing newspapers is not Orwellian. Never ending face time on TV (not FOX) is not Orwellian. Rounding up the disaffected, the confused and the dead to vote is not Orwellian.

    Orwellian is resisting the Obamamessiah. Call the Ministry of Truth and listen to the tapes and get with the program, folks. Resistance is futile.

  2. “seeking to use government funds to promote Obama administration initiatives.” — Apparently this idiot has never heard of the Faith Based Initiatives program for the past eight years. Suddenly this is illegal? Apparently Jack Abramoff is a complete mystery to this missing rocket scientist as well. The tea-baggers and their dual sets of laws for themselves and everybody else.

    This should prove to be amusing. Hey, at least 60,000 tea-baggers and birthers thought the ACORN videos were something of interest.

  3. Ah syntax, you poor fluffer you.

    apparently it’s ‘of interest’ to congress, as both houses have voted to defund ACORN.

    As to the faith based initiative red herring you tossed out there… I do recall the debate on witchvox whether to accept faith based funding. Also allowing religious organizations to sup at the same table is different than taking a ‘non-partisan organization’ such as the NEA, and using it to fund government propoganda. Or do you recall the outrage when Rudy Gulianni wanted to suspend funding to the Brookland Museum over the ‘Sensation’ exhibit.

    *yawn* new nickname, same old attempts at obfuscation.

  5. You know, I never can decide if All About Eve or The Philadelphia Story is my favorite classic movie. Did you know that All About Eve was based on Tallulah Bankhead and Lizbeth Scott? Am I really that gay that I know that?

  8. Arise, poor Dr. Syntax, you have been in torpor and deathlike sleep for so long.

    Ah, Syntax, William Combe knew you best:

    The school was done, the bus’ness o’er,
    When tir’d of Greek and Latin lore,
    Good Syntax sought his easy chair, And sat in calm composure there.
    His wife was to a neighbour gone, To hear the chit-chat of the town;
    And left him the unfrequent power Of brooding through a quiet hour.
    Thus, while he sat, a busy train Of images besieged his brain.
    Of Church-preferment he had none;
    Nay, all his hope of that was gone:
    He felt that he content must be With drudging in a Curacy.

    Combe reveals the heart of Dr. Syntax as he (Syntax) addresses his old mentor, the Provost, about how he (Syntax) will cash in on life and abandon integrity:

    Syntax.—
    “I now perceive that all your knowledge
    Is pent, my friend, within your college!
    Learning’s become a very bore— That fashion long since has been o’er.
    A Bookseller may keep his carriage,
    And ask ten thousand pounds in marriage;
    May have his mansion in a square, And build a house for countryair;
    And yet ’tis odds the fellow knows If Horace wrote in verse or prose.
    Could Dr. Grey in chariot ride, And take each day his wine beside,
    If he did not contrive to cook, Each year, his Tour into a book;
    A flippant, flashy, flow’ry style, A lazy morning to beguile;
    With every other leaf, a print Of some fine view in aqua tint’ ?
    Such is the book I mean to make And I’ve no doubt the work will take:
    For though your wisdom may decry it,
    The simple folk will surely buy it.
    I will allow it is but trash, But then it furnishes the cash.”

    So. there you have it! Dr. Syntax was the first cartoon character and he cashed in on meaningless decorations and poses which the unschooled masses bought up like penny candy. He has left us his name and truly dreadful aquatints full of pastel fluff and signifying nothing of meaning.

  9. I’d like to encourage conservatives and other moderates to continue to pull back the web of corruption in the Democrat left. They have gotten so lax and lazy that they don’t even try to hide their illegalities and unethical behaviors. Now that we all have cell phones that record sound and visuals,we can all be soldiers in this war to uproot the corruption. If we have proof positive, even the MSM eventually has to agree. Now that the light of day has brought down ACORN let’s see how many other rotten entities we can uncover. NEA, union halls, welfare offices, teachers unions, churches used for political purposes, even workers standing around at the local DMV collecting paychecks.
