WHAT'S THAT WHINING NOISE OVER THERE ON THE RIGHT?

AUTO-DA-FE-BACK'S A BITCH

Vatican Decries New "Inquisition"

OK, nobody on the Right can take it any more. The Pope sends this jack-ass to the EU Parliament, where he's supposed to become a Commissioner whose portfolio includes Civil Rights. So, first thing, he lets everyone know his policies on single Moms (bad), Gays (worse), and marriage ("marriage exists to allow women to have children and the protection of a male" Ugh-ugh!). A few (hundred) socialist EU MPs object, and that bastion of civil liberties, the Catholic Church, cries foul. THEY even used the word "Inquisition"! What's next, accuse the Jews of ignoring a "new Holocaust" against the Church? Hey, who's the EU Commissioner of Historical Ironies? Is he also the Grand Inquisitor? Can I be Torquemada? Awww, I NEVER get to torture anybody! At least let me burn this guy at the stake! Have a heart! Jeez, I never get to have ANY fun...

"Vatican condemns EU 'inquisition'"

O'REILLY CAN DISH IT OUT

But He Can't Take It

Kiddie-book writer and TV bar-stool bully Bill "Felafel" O'Reilly has cancelled all his off-Fox interviews for the duration. Presumably, he can't bear to discuss his sexual-harassment suit and countersuit against the harassee. I know most conservatives avoid combat duty in the military. AAAAH! GUNS! BULLETS! DEATH! And they can't stand to pay their fair share of taxes to support their country. OUCH! that REALLY hurts 'em. I just didn't realize that they were all quite such PUSSIES in every possible way. GIRLS! LAWYERS! PUBLIC SCRUTINY! EEEK! Way ta go, O'Reilly, ya freakin' punk-ass BITCH! HAW-HAW-HAW-HAW! Better stay outta MY neighbourhood, "tough guy" Some little girl might kick your fuckin' ASS!! AH-HA-HAH!!!

AND, AFTER THE WHINING, THE ACTING OUT

Sinclair Fires Too-Ethical Reporter

Jon Leiberman was the Washington bureau chief for Sinclair News. Seems this award-winning professional journalist was uncomfortable with the pressure being put on him by his television news organisation's right-wing corporate owners, the Sinclair Broadcast Group. They wanted him to make a virulently anti-Kerry movie look like legitimate news. And they only gave him a few days to do it in. When he objected, he was ignored. When he spoke out publicly, he was fired, escorted from his office, cut off and denied all benefits and severance pay. Sinclair also refused to lift a contractual ban on competition in their markets, meaning that the reporter, a twenty-nine year old family man, cannot get work anywhere in the country that Sinclair has a competing TV station. Sinclair controls almost 25% of the entire US television market. You may be watching them right now. Don't.
