No More

Somebody, please, please stop these idiotic little twerps from writing this crap. I just can't stand it any more. Here's Jamison Foser at County Fair:
Politico's Glenn Thrush, seeing a news report that Hillary Clinton said she likes the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, "decided to fact-check."
What would make him decide to fact-check the unremarkable statement by a baby boomer that she likes the two most popular band in the history of the world -- bands that took the world by storm during her teen years?
Thrush explains:
We decided to fact-check, remembering the ambiguities that swirled around Yankees vs. Cubs, Dubai Ports World and Bosnian snipers.
Look at that first example: "Yankees vs. Cubs." Let's be clear here: The only "ambiguities" that swirled around Hillary Clinton's comments about the Yankees and the Cubs came in the form of reporters and political opponents lying about Hillary Clinton.
Anyway, because a bunch of people lied about Hillary Clinton, Glenn Thrush -- who doesn't indicate that the Yankees/Cubs flap was a made-up smear perpetrated by his colleagues -- decided to "fact-check" Clinton's claim to like the Stones and the Beatles.
Thrush's fact-checking is an absurd waste of time, premised on previous lies about Hillary Clinton. And it isn't even an original absurd waste of time. We've been down this road before. And it doesn't go anywhere good.
Foser goes on to remind us a previous sickening case of the trivia police hounding Clinton over her musical tastes, insisting that should couldn't possibly listen to both the Beatles and the Stones. She's "calculating" dontcha know. (I'm sure you all recall that the bitch is so calculating that when she calculates how much cleavage she needs to show to pass legislation.)
I don't know what Hillary Clinton ever did to you boys, but get over it. There's lots to write about these days. Knock it off.
