Depraved Whore to Be Corrected by McMurtry
speakingcorpse writes:
All of the negative Clinton biography reviews, and especially the spat-out bile of Michiko Kakutani, have reminded us of the poisonous psychic dynamic at work in the mainstream media's coverage of our last President. Perhaps it's hard to grasp or articulate clearly, but the sickness has something to do with unacknowledged loneliness and grief, image-worship, violent masturbation, projection of guilt, and sacrificial expiation in the form of hateful blind denunciations of the last competent President we're ever likely to have. Apparently, Bill Keller and the Times gang realized that the stench from the psychic rot was a bit too pungent in Kakutani's demented, meaningless denunciation of Clinton's book. Now they've gotten a wonderfully written and effusively laudatory review from a real human--the great author Larry McMurtry. It was supposed to be published two weeks from now (in the Sunday Book Review, as opposed to the daily arts section, already soiled by Kakutani). But the Times has (unprecedentedly) rushed the new review into print, and announced to all their colleagues (at the Poynter Forum) that the review is online. Well, I'm grateful for McMurtry's review, which really makes me want to read Clinton's book. But it won't undo the obvious: Kakutani and the rest of the whores want to be raped by Clinton, and they hate him because they know he's too good to do such a thing.
