I love this:
Isn't there some association to a serious medical condition when you can see the whites of someone's eyes above their pupils? One which leads to pathalogical [sic] conditions such as paranoia and dementia? I forget what it's called. But from that photo Liasson clearly has a serious case and needs medical attention soon. And no one should believe a word she says.
--A comment on the "Think Progress" weblog
The commenter was referring to the accompanying screen capture of Mara Liasson as she participated in a panel discussion on FOX News.
Now the issue here really isn't Mara Liasson, nor FOX News, nor the story which precipitated the discussion which precipitated the comment (told best by NPR's ombudsman, Jeffrey A. Dvorkin). The issue is what this guy said and what it says about his own level of understanding about the world. One wonders if it was a right-winger portraying a mentally deficient liberal in order to help to build the impression that the term "mentally deficient liberal" is an oxymoron. Unlikely, I think. I suspect that it probably was an actual liberal. But the other liberals must be wondering, "With friends like these...."
It brings to mind a comment that I received just today (3rd comment down) on an entry which I posted 20 full months ago about President Bush, but I'll leave it to you to work out how they're related.
Day by Day Cartoon
Has anyone else noticed that Jan, from Day by Day Cartoon, has undergone quite some changes over the last year? At the minimum, I'm seeing a boob job, here. Overall, the effect is to take her away from her old appearance as a frail and mousy intellectual university type of bookworm character, headstrong with idealism but without experience in the real world (and thus absent of real-world wisdom). Such a position in life shows in the physical stature of the individual. But now she looks genuinely successful, like someone to look up to, someone to want to emulate, someone who knows what she wants and knows how to get it. She exudes power now, and sexual energy. What kind of thoughts does a person have which creates such success? One wonders if Chris Muir is becoming a Democrat.
Here's a photo which relates well to what I'm expressing above:
