So symbotic is the relationship between Obama and the media that the incompetence of one fuels incompetence in the other. Even Farheed Zakaria has noticed this and I heard him commenting on it today. He was analyzing the role of “emo” in the response to the BP oilspill. The media along with supporters such Spike Lee most notably were telling Obama what he needed to do was get emo. To own the rage. The WH promptly complied, issuing the “Plug the damn hole” story and then sending Captain Obama looking for “ass to kick”.

Everything should be straight, then, right? Of course not, and now what? In the end they all look like childish, incompetent, boobs more focused on emo, process and posture than the technical problems. The tragedy is that such might actually be what they all are.

People ask: Is this the grit that lay behind the self-vaunted “reality-based community”?
