I know that reads like fiction since it is based on mainly on one particular cartoon short, but it does seem to have that grain of truth.
Mark Steyn has commented (http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MzJlNDRlYjY0OWMzMjRjYWU4MTM4NjhkY2E5NmExNDU=) on the accusation that the media has been manipulated by the McCain campaign:
But, if you were really savvy, you'd "manipulate" the media into a stampede of lurid drivel deriding her as a Stepford wife and a dominatrix, comparing her to Islamic fundamentalists, Pontius Pilate and porn stars, and dismissing her as a dysfunctional brood mare who can't possibly be the biological mother of the kid she was too dumb to abort. Who knows? It's a long shot, but if you could pull it off, a really cunning media manipulator might succeed in manipulating Howie's buddies into spending the month after Labor Day outbidding each other in some insane Who Wants To Be An Effete Condescending Media Snob? death-match. You'd not only make the press look like bozos, but that in turn might tarnish just a little the fellow these geniuses have chosen to anoint.
His commentary does include another Looney Tunes reference, too.
Man, this is getting to be an exciting election. Both sides are being stretched to their limits before taking office, so the public will get a long look at how the candidates really are instead of how they pretend to be. That's good for democracy.
Possibly because we didn't take as good a look at the candidates the last time, and once we did learn more about them we said "We aren't going to make THAT mistake again!"
