Voice of reason

By GottaLaff

I was just talking to my dad about the ludicrous media insistence on perpetuating yet another meaningless story. They have nothing else to talk about, so they've crescendoed into some crazed, manufactured frenzy over the plethora of leaks from the formerly disciplined Obama team! Yes, leaks!! And more leaks!!! Leaks, do you hear me, leaks!!

Good god, who's doing the leaking? Hillary? Her team?? The Hill??? Could it be that Obama's gang has lost all control?! He-e-elp! The world is coming to an end! Somebody tell us it's all gonna be okay! Who will finally come forward and-- ?

"No one is frustrated, no one is anguished. Any time you involve large numbers of people in something like this, there's gonna be leaks. And there's a fanaticism almost among the news media to break the big story."

-- Obama strategist David Axelrod, quoted by the Huffington Post, on the increasing leaks during the transition.

Whew! What a relief. We've avoided Armegeddon. We can all go shopping again (well, except for that whole lousy economy thing).

Thank you, as always, David Axelrod. I'll let my dad know what you said.
