Who I'm Worshiping Now

I've oft been accused of fickle hero worship. Of course that's hogwash. Anyway, here's


WHO I'M WORSHIPING NOW
THE MEDIA EDITION


Can you name all six?



1. Shrill, sexist and weak on the life philosophy,
but he nails the Clinton connivery every time.



2. The guys go on to starring roles
while she holds it down Gilda Radner-style.



3. "Those of us who have struggled to get our minds around the notion that a man who looks like Barack Obama could be the next president of the United States can no longer take easy refuge in the disappointments of history."




4. Rural Life makes great election-coverage detox.




5. Somehow: sexy?




6. "Her argument against Obama now boils down to an argument against idealism, which is probably the lowest and most unlikely point to which any Clinton could sink."





See, it was still about Obama. I warned you, fair reader.

Should I get a handicap, since I'm currently enduring round-the-clock CNN coverage at my household?

By the way, in response to #1, I can't believe you don't agree that life is, in fact, a campaign.

The black guy is Eugene Robinson, the columnist, not to be confused with Eugene Robinson the former NFL safety. That Eugene Robinson was arrested for soliciting a prostitute the night before Super Bowl 33. He wanted a blow job, but he didn't get one. The next day he blew his coverage on Rod Smith of the Broncos and his team lost.

Brian: Okay, you're allowed to pitch in now.

Buffy: YOU are the media personality I worship. Oh, and Joel McHale, too.

Jon: Close on #2 and yes, you do get a bonus point. Although I might rescind it if you say "ew" again.

Matt: Showoff. That's why we love you.

#5 I'd do him. Wrinkles or not.

Wow, Matt. I'm speechless.

Okay, I think Buffy and Jon tie for the top prize, but Matt gets the That's Some Crazy Shit award.

#2 is Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee, who is about a hundred times funnier than Jon Stewart.

#4 is Verlyn Klinkenborg of the New York Times. He rules.
