wallace winfrey - Mission Accomplished: The Fourth Anniversary of Dumb

Dumb as in (as Atrios would say): “TEH STUPID! IT BURNS!”

Media Matters has a nice roundup of the amazingly dumb things major media figures were saying and writing about that day. I’m sure you’ll find favorite moments in pundit stupidity on your own, but my favorites were definitely Chris Matthews & G. Gordon Liddy going on and on about Bush’s manhood and crotch bulge. Of course, it was a noteworthy enough event that day that I even blogged about it here.

At the time, I said it was “textbook, Chinese-style propaganda”. I think that assessment holds up pretty well.
