Normally, when someone gets to a topic before I do, I'm more than happy to front-page it (as Mike did with Ray's take-down), but Jinnyfer Danahew's latest piece is so mind-numbingly stoopid and misleading and misinformed and Republican-cheerleading it deserves a second round.
I really didn't think it was possible for there to be anything left to add to the long trail of verbal wreckage she's left behind, but this piece today takes the Political Director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics to a whole new level of UR Doin it R0ng.
Since Ray dissected today's nearly incomprehensible, typo-ridden, barely concealed Republican glee pretty well, I'd like to focus on the predictable sight of how bad pundits carry bad memes like infectious diseases. Follow the bouncing meme:
* Someone in New Hampshire who wants Kelly Ayotte to run (Jennifer Donahue, maybe?) puts a bug in Chuck Todd's ear about it.
* I write a post highlighting date inconsistencies and the Sununu dilemma to keep in mind the reality of the current GOoPer Senate situation. I then email it to a few interested parties, writing "People are going to be hyperventilating over Chuck Todd's post about a rumored Kelly Ayotte...run."
* Ginipher Donnahue hyperventilates. I can't even understand what the title means: "If Ayotte Runs in NH, It's a Sign Democrats Have Electoral Problems Holding Senate/House Seats in 2010" And evidence-free clauses like "Another poignant issue: AG Kelly Ayotte has young children and huge popularity in the state. She won't run if she doesn't think she can win -- and it increasingly looks like she may run." Remember when Donahue peddled that storyline about the "brilliant" choice of Sarah Palin?
* The stenographer press repeats this "punditry" right down to the sloppy typos, gets egg on face in the process (h/t Mike).
Painful. Just painful.
