It's frustrating as I have a killer "Gotcha!" meme all ready to let loose the second the old fucker croaks it. He'll probably outlast me so i guess I'll just have to pass it on to next of kin.
Y’all waited out Thatcher and were rewarded. You’ve got this.
I've listened to so many snivelling Murdoch hacks talking about what a wonderfully benign influence he was on British journalism today that I'm wondering whether there was a similar agenda to whitewash Thatchers monstrousness after she snuffed it. In my head, the whole day was one long joyous chorus of ding dong the witch is dead. I think i just blotted all the rest out.
Perhaps because Thatcher was a very public presence and people could tie events to her that it's harder to paper that over for many. Murdoch's evil comes off as more indirect.
Yeah, I'd say that's spot on. Murdoch did a pretty good job of remaining in the background all those years despite a very hands on policy with the crown jewels of his empire. I think the phone hacking enquiries might well have been the first
(and possibly only) occasion i heard him speak in public and i remember how sad and feeble he sounded which was probably all part of the act.
Just an incredible run of very public self-induced humiliation for Taibbi. One of the greatest to ever do it.

I have a UTI from just reading this.
I'm sure HuffPo has an unsettling alternative treatment for that, too. Now, you need to boil pistachio pudding, then mix it with a can of Mountain Dew that has sat out for a day, to get rid of the carbonation, you see …
