Three-way Wendi
The idiot partisan circus is showing its true clown-car form in discussing the Murdoch pie-throwing incident.
Republicans are instinctively and suicidally defending their worst enemy Murdoch, the man who defanged and deballed their intellects, the man who pushed them into the most absurd and tabloidish vacuity. And they're defending Murdoch's Chinese heiress Wendi with special vigor.
You can see it clearly in the comments on this delightfully wicked column in UK Telegraph. The author sees the incident clearly; lefty or non-partisan commenters enjoy the piece while conservative commenters stoutly defend the heiress.
Aside from
(1) the stupid and gullible love of the Murdoch media,
there are two other factors involved:
(2) Obviously, money. Wendi represents raw Randian greed, red in tooth and claw, beloved by all Repooflicans. She is maximizing her inheritance with all ten Mandarin fingernails. Note that NewsCorp stock went up after her tigress act. Coincidence? Nah. That's why she did it.
(3) Not so obviously, China. The real motherland of Repooflicans, the country that automatically deserves to receive all our wealth and jobs (after Goldman takes its cut, of course). If Wendi had been French or Latvian, no cheer for you. ¶ 4:17 AM
