Update On Boobus Americanus

If you're interested in how the media, mainstream and otherwise, determine what Boobus Americanus (H.L. Mencken's term for the leftward section of America's intelligence bell curve) thinks about the various political candidates, you could do worse than read Jamison Foser's July 20 "Media Matters" column .

Of course, if you've found yourself asking yourself, "Who gives a fuck about John Edwards $400 haircut (which was actually two $200 haircuts plus traveling expenses for the barber), and besides, why do they keep referring to that three-month-old story when Mitt Romney's $300 bill for make-up before his first presidential debate is just a couple of weeks old - and besides, isn't the fact that Bree Olsen is the new Adam & Eve contract girl incredibly more important?", then that article may not be for you.
