I hear they served watermelon and sang a lot

13 Jul

Hat tip to DoubleSpeak [1] for this little gem from the Post.

Robert C. Bobb, a D.C. official, recently attended an event for Scott Bolden. Hmm ... one pol visiting the campaign of another? Very interesting. Surely there's a story there somewhere. No? Well, the two men did happen to be black. Still no story, huh? Well, ok. How about running an article titled, "Maybe it was the free chicken [2] ."

Pause for a moment and read that again.

Ready? Here we go.

What the ^&@!@#% were you stupid ^%&*$^*s thinking? Is the Post seriously just trying to channel Strom Thurmond? Or was this just some dim-witted blunder that managed to slip through the author, the fact-checkers, the editor, AND the printer without anyone catching the craptastic moronicy behind it?
