For the second time in a couple of months I need to give a shout-out to Glenn Beck. Yep, Beck was one of the first to get it right on Shirley Sherrod. Even the New York Times said so in an editorial:
The administration’s haste to fire Ms. Sherrod was unfair and unseemly. She told of how an agriculture under secretary phoned her to demand she resign instantly via her BlackBerry. The official anxiously cited the likelihood the furor would “be on Glenn Beck tonight.”
By the time the conservative commentator took up the issue, the full transcript of the speech was out and Mr. Beck was citing Ms. Sherrod — but as a victim of administration recklessness. This time, he was right.
You go, Glenn!
The Obama administration seems to be in a contest with Dubya's to see whose is populated with more idiots.
Wonder if we can expect Andrew Breitbart to undergo the same kind of conversion as did Shirley Sherrod. Somehow I doubt it.
But he now has been immortalized in the language:
Breitbart v. - To intentionally make something appear to be its opposite for political ends. The pundit breitbarted Shirley Sherrod. (from Robert Creamer)
Go Bork yourself, Breitbart!
“She’s a good friend. She helped us save our farm.” -- Eloise Spooner, referring to Shirley Sherrod.
