honesty is such a lonely word

Dave Henry, wingnut emeritus at the Amarillo Globe-News, publishes yet – another – misleading – screed cut-and-paste from Republican talking points this morning. Surprisingly, Dave Henry doesn’t believe Howard Dean will be a very good chairman for the Democratic National Committee. Naturally, this should be filed along with all the other “well-meaning advice” given us so frequently these days by Republicans.

Rumor has it that Dave Henry spends a bit of time worrying about “liberal web sites” that expose and harass right-wing media. Well, guess what Dave? Unlike many of your paranoid fantasies, this one’s true! There are such sites! We’re one! BOOGAH-BOOGAH-BOOGAH!

Frankly, I don’t care anymore if Dave Henry is to the right of Newt Gingrich, or Atilla the Hun, or Alberto Gonzales, or whoever is the extreme standard of rightness these days. I don’t care if Dave Henry chooses to supplement his glorified-sportswriter’s income with some Armstrong Williams Media Grants. But, Dave, you go on an on about the long-discredited “scream.” You imply that Dean was a poor fundraiser because he was out of money when his campaign ended. I know right-wingers have decided not to be “reality-based” anymore, but, jeez!

Dave, could you please not actually lie in your columns? Can we have a minimum standard of truth here?
