The hills are alive - with the sound of kvetching and retching
Sunday, March 8, 2009 at 13:43 Forgive my ‘Yiddish-isms’. That’s what happens when you grow up in or near Miami Beach. Kvetching means complaining. I think you know what retching refers to. But the media echo chamber is so alive with pain and angst over what Obama should do, hasn’t done, the way he done did it that I can’t hear myself think.
Notable examples: all the screaming heads on CNBC, and most notably Rick Santelli. The print media and blogosphere - liberal, centrist and right wingnut - has joined in as well, and then they’ve given far more attention than should be warranted to that bloated, self righteous, self important default leader of the GOP, Rush Limbaugh, that I feel like heading for the nearest emergency exit post haste.
Can we all back up and breathe, before we completely loose track of the real issues?
