2fer: Marta Is Liberated from LIMBOsevic; Wingnut SAJAK Collects "Bias"
Edited on Tue Mar-22-05 11:09 AM by UTUSN
Marta, you would get a lot more if you wrote a book. We would all buy it.

2nd Item: Whatever would make a nice boy like Pat SAJAK be a wingnut? A blow to the head, perhaps? And, Pat, it's right-to-CHOICE, not "right-to-DIE".

AMPLE EXIT

IT cost Rush Limbaugh a few million to get divorced from his wife, Marta. Palm Beach Post columnist Jose Lambiet reports the talk-radio star appeared with his lawyer Dec. 21 in a court in Key West — 250 miles from his Palm Beach home — with a separation agreement and a divorce petition. "Redefining 'quickie divorce,' the judge pronounced the childless couple officially split within an hour," Lambiet reports. As part of the settlement, Marta, a former aerobics instructor, got title to a $9 million house just across Caribbean Road from Limbaugh's $26 million compound.

.... ...There is a very limited spectrum that the press generally uses to describe a person’s politics. There are Conservatives and then there is everyone else. “ Conservative Senator so-and-so debated Senator what’s-his-name today.” In the world of the press, a Liberal rarely exists unless he or she is so identified by those hateful Conservatives. ....

I have a little hobby of collecting these examples of subtle bias, and they are very easy to find. The problem is that you appear to be nit-picking when you point them out; however, these kinds of ingrained prejudices are endemic. One Senator merely states a fact, while the Conservative Senator “claims” something. Unnecessary and prejudicial adjectives are used with abandon, usually to the detriment of the more Conservative side. Alarming statistics about global warming, spousal abuse, homelessness or dozens of other issues are given without challenge if they come from activists. The challenge comes only when those issues are discussed from a more Conservative point of view. (“Conservative Senator Smith claimed homelessness is dropping, but the Center for Homelessness reports…”) ....

2. Let me guess... Pat Sajak, the Republican, only collects the
"liberal" bias, right? Get a life, Pat. The "Liberal Media" doesn't exist!

3. Marta will go on to a healthy, rewarding career...
designing butt-ugly ties.



Can you say 'Versace knockoff'?
