Let's take all the facts, omit the ones that don't work for us, re-arrange the others and make a statement that is COMPLETELY factual but is, in fact, wrong.
Case in point--we all know that Bobby Jindal supported Lee Domingue for the Louisiana Senate District 16 seat. We know that Dan Claitor beat the shit out of Lee Domingue. Finally, we know that Dan Claitor won because he's a good guy and Lee Domingue lost because he's a slimy, swindling douche (at least, according to every one with an opinion and Paula Pennington de la Bretton).
Of course, that's not how it plays out in the D.C. left-wing rags....nooooooo. Exhibit A--writing for The Washington Monthly (in a daily column, no less) Steve Benan explains Domingue's loss thusly:
And while I don't usually report on state Senate races, there was a big contest in Louisiana over the weekend, featuring Lee Domingue, a right-wing Republican who enjoyed the enthusiastic support of Gov. Bobby Jindal (R). Domingue, a Biblical literalist who wants creationism taught in public schools and supports banning single Louisiana citizens from adopting children, lost badly.
I'm pretty sure that Mr. Domingue's ultra-fucked-up, literal Bible view had NOTHING to do with his loss...but it plays well for the left to present it that way.
You have to be careful with these people....they're slimy, swindling douches.
No shit. I didn't know he thumped the good book.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't matter to me though b/c like you so succincly put it, "he's a slimy, swindling douche."
