this has real potential to be awesome. the "controversy" has already crossed into the non-fox mainstream media, i heard it on the radio yesterday. but the story i heard was more about the weird stuff that people get excited about than echoing their point. i think this is yet another example of something that may make sense to the folks blowing a gasket over it, but looks totally bizarre and stupid to anyone who doesn't live in their little persecution complex bubble.
but the funniest thing about all of this is that the breitbarts and o'reillys of the world misunderstood the sesame street skit. in the context of grouches talking to each other, "now there's a trashy network" is supposed to be a complement. on sesame street, grouches love trash. one could even say that's the defining characteristic of a sesame street grouch. to them, the word "trashy" means something good.
why am i not surprised that certain right wingers can't conceptualize the context of a statement to determine what the speaker might actually mean? this is something that six year olds watching sesame street are able to understand. but i guess it's too complicated for andy breitbart.
