I would like to use the term "Tabloid Government" to describe the quality of government that we are currently paying for.
The Weekly World News and National Enquirer are news papers...
...tabloid news papers, but news papers just the same. 'USA Today' reports on money matters, the tabloids report on the location of the Leprechauns gold. 'Time Magazine' runs a story on breakthrough cancer research, the tabloids run a story on Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced boy.
...welcome to the tabloid government of the USA
The current government (all three branches) of the USA has become little more than the tabloid version of national leadership. Selling guns to Mexican drug runners, providing fighter jets for the Muslim brotherhood, sicking the IRS on American citizens, and now it seems the government has even challenged the media to a dick measuring contest by giving the AP a lesson in what its like to be on the wrong side of the tabloid government.
Well, it is my pleasure to welcome the AP to the party. The rest of us have been paying close attention to our esteemed leaders in Washington for the last five or ten years while the media was busy pretending to be intellectually gifted, using big words, and sniffing each others crotches; well its good to see that at least the AP has finally noticed that something is going on in D.C. that just don't quite seem right. I wonder if the AP is going to do anything more than just puff out their bottom lip and pout...
