QOTD: "The internal newsletter of the Democrat Party, which makes itself available to outsiders under the name “The New York Times,” field-tests the most pitiful spin ever attempted. We know you’re in the bag for this failing Administration, guys, but you can still exercise some discretion over which emailed White House talking points you build into “news” stories...

...the Times tries to help out by suggesting a fresh spin for Obama defenders: he’s golfing and partying as a gesture of defiance to both terrorists and his domestic critics. I invite you to try – I mean, really try, sit there quietly for a few minutes and let your mind slip fully into the clouds of conjecture – and imagine media outlets even suggesting that a Republican president’s irresponsible, self-indulgent behavior was such a gesture of defiance. You can’t do it. Even if J. K. Rowling is reading this, she can’t do it. There are limits to even the most bountiful imagination." --John Hayward
