Note scraps found around or on the tables of big-time professional journalists in America:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s not real, it\u2019s a joke! I was sick this weekend and threw it together in my fevered brain! But it\u2019s surprising how many emails I\u2019ve had from people asking if its real!<\/p>\n

Instapundit<\/strong> show us how laughable it all is<\/a>. Thank God we have \u201cgatekeepers and mediating intelligences\u201d<\/a> who ask the tough questions, conduct themselves with professional detachment and protect the public trust. Thank God we have journalists who \u201ccomfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hot Air<\/strong> on the Wanda Sykes routine<\/a>. Remember when Bill Clinton got up and told the world that Sister Souljah\u2019s words were filled with \u201ca kind of hate\u201d<\/a> that was unacceptable? When does Obama-the great unifier-have his \u201cWanda-Wake-Up\u201d<\/a> moment?<\/p>\n

Brian Montopoli<\/strong> at CBS recaps on reactions by and for the president of all the people<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jules Crittenden<\/strong> has a great round-up of reactions to the lip-smacking<\/a><\/p>\n

While the bit-time journalists are drooling:<\/strong> they\u2019re not asking questions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Treason:<\/strong> And other words they don\u2019t really understand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ann Althouse:<\/strong> That Air Force One \u201cphoto-op\u201d seems fishier<\/a> every day.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
