The Old Brown Lady of the New York Times [Old Gray Lady] Works the Smear Machine and Reinvents the Constitution.

We are always privileged to read the New York Times, the Main Propaganda Machine of the far left, the drug and rabid abortion crowds and their Islamo-Fascist allies. I normally look to the bright and sassy prose of The Old Red Lady, Maureen Dowd for insights into matters of right-wing corruption and greed. The dowdy Dowd has earned her Red Label from her hair color[1] and not from her politics as one might first presume from reading my blogs. My emphasis on the font color and boldness for the New York Times’ moniker as the Walter Duranty Papers [2]is based on the Communist and Bolshevik politics of Duranty and his Soviet handlers so her hair is also red, but only by coincidence.

 Gail Collins is another matter. Lacking sufficient cognitive skills, a praiseworthy countenance or even approaching the electric prose style of the other old lady at the Times, I have chosen to give her a slightly different color, also based on her [rather plain] hairdo and not, necessarily, in honor of her politics. Thusly, she is anointed The Old Brown Lady[3] of the Old Gray Lady. [Do they still use bowls for haircuts like that?] Today, she works the fluff and fill-in sections of the Slime Machine as today’s nifty smear artist. Along the way she seems to be rewriting the constitution as well. Gail is given the menial fluff-fill pieces because these trinkets are about the only job she can do but is a loyal wordsmith with solid training in liberalism. She plods along in her narrow assignments and, as such, is a great asset to the paper.

 The Motto of the New York Times is: Slime over Substance.

 In this episode, the Slimers attempt to bend and twist a simple comment given by their dire enemy Sarah in the VP debate. [She is so famous we can safely omit her last name] She is bright and honest and quite beautiful, those attributes being gross insults to most reputed females in the Party of Democrats, which probably includes Barney Frank.  This Times staff apparently selects ‘females’ by some esoteric  metric of repulsiveness so as not to offend N.O.W. or the diseased  bag ladies of the streets in NYC. Sarah entered  the lists in full combat regalia against the saggy old bald plagiarist and liar Joe Biden, known as The Hot Dog[4] in Delaware, or more  recently, as  ‘Plugs’[5]. “He sports an interesting forest of randomly spaced wispy pellage on his dome. The message offered here is not very clear.  She destroyed this freak show poser in the debate—and the NYT is enraged. Revenge is necessary.

The ‘moderator,’ an old hand in leftist politics and hoping to make bags of money off her new Obama book posed certain questions that prompted this curious attack on Richard Cheney, who is not actually running for any office.

“IFILL: Governor, you mentioned a moment ago the constitution might give the vice president more power than it has in the past. Do you believe as Vice President Cheney does, that the Executive Branch does not hold complete sway over the office of the vice presidency, that it it is also a member of the Legislative Branch?

PALIN: Well, our founding fathers were very wise there in allowing through the Constitution much flexibility there in the office of the vice president. And we will do what is best for the American people in tapping into that position and ushering in an agenda that is supportive and cooperative with the president's agenda in that position. Yeah, so I do agree with him that we have a lot of flexibility in there, and we'll do what we have to do to administer very appropriately the plans that are needed for this nation. And it is my executive experience that is partly to be attributed to my pick as V.P. with McCain, not only as a governor, but earlier on as a mayor, as an oil and gas regulator, as a business owner. It is those years of experience on an executive level that will be put to good use in the White House also.[6]

Freak Time!

 Quoth the Slimist:

 “She appeared to agree with Dick Cheney’s manic theory that the vice president is a member of both the executive and legislative branches, although it’s hard to tell since she began her answer this way: “Well, our founding fathers were very wise there in allowing through the Constitution much flexibility there in the office of the vice president. And we will do what is best for the American people in tapping into that position and ushering in an agenda that is supportive and cooperative with the president’s agenda in that position.”[7]-- Talking in Points by Gail Collins Op-Ed Columnist Published: October 3, 2008

 This uses the Slime by Association smear mechanism, a favorite carnival trick by this paper. We could do the same by associating Obama with Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers or Tony Rezko as a comparable comment in this vein, but the salient point in this episode is that Cheney did not modify or usurp the Constitution. What the NYSlimes are angry and frustrated about is that he cast the deciding vote several times as President of the Senate.

 I wonder if we can take this opportunity to read the Constitution in its original form before the Walter Duranty Papers manages to revise it and get it passed by Congress.

 “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.

 The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a President pro tempore,

in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the office of

President of the United States. “--Article I Section 3 of THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]

 Do the Marxian supplicants of the Times realize that the words pro tempore are Latin and mean “for the time being"? [8] Cheney could have opened and closed the Senate and acted as the highest officer of this body.

 It is astonishing that the Slimes work the bug holes in every soggy mattress in the flop house to raise such worthless ‘points’ as this. But, they do have fears.

 Plugs gives us a lesson on the Constitution:

“BIDEN: Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history. The idea he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that.

And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there's a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit.

The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress. The idea he's part of the Legislative Branch is a bizarre notion invented by Cheney to aggrandize the power of a unitary executive and look where it has gotten us. It has been very dangerous.”[9]—Joe  Hot Dog Biden’s Rant.

Recall that Joe cheated in his law school days at Syracuse.  He lifted the work of others and plagiarized to get his ‘law degree.’ We should not look to the Hot Dog to deduce the Constitution for us. After we wipe Joe’s sputum off his podium, we must state that Cheney only acted as a tie-breaker, a legal function that infuriated the soggy Marxian stooges from the left. This was no bizarre notion—this was only sour grapes by Democrats.

Clearly, the VP is the highest officer of the Senate and could act as one any old day.  He [or she!!] probably could set the agenda and open and close sessions and perform other duties as a president could do.  He [Cheney] prefers not to do so as he has to associate with slimy idiots like Harry Reid, Chuckles Schumer, Chris Dodd [a crook] and other disgusting personalities.  The VP actually has broad constitutional powers and perhaps the Walter Duranty bunch fears that Sarah might be a force in the next Senate even if there were no instances of an even vote. This might be a valid fear.

 This is a wonderful example of political cipher text that attempts to preempt any future powers of the right by a retrograde rewriting of the Constitution on the stage with tinsel, tambourines and lights.  

 Then, a cheap smear:

 “This is all a terrible shame. For us, mainly. But also for Palin, whose intelligence and toughness may wind up buried under the legend of her verb-deprived ramblings.”

 This from some hack desk editor who is a cliché monger?

 This is the kind of sleaze t hat makes the New York Times the best mechanism to wrap old stinky fish. The intellectual content of this rag compares only to tautological rants of leftist icons like Allen Ginsberg, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and Squeaky From.

The Old Brown Lady did here job with her pointless talking and worked up this little piece as a good little worker and now should get her usual prize for this propagandistic smear effort. She did well. Menial political mimicry absent any original thinking is a leftist virtue. Turn the crank.
