Sun Develops Gonads, Ovulates

Holy shit you guys, did you see the slams of Anthony Brown in the Sun today? Usually the Sun's opinions are hedged, bridled and given a shot of go-go juice before they go onstage, but their critiques of Brown have been heating up,* then yesterday someone replaced some editor's Preparation-H with Tiger Balm and today they're as are sore as a Tennessee horse. David Zurawik's takedown of Brown* is the hardest-hitting pan I've seen in a legitimate media source since Pete Wells went to Guy's American Kitchen and Bar, and the paper printed his answer to the health-care exchange question verbatim.*
     I've been a reporter, believe it or not, and the only reason you ever transcribe and print someone verbatim without prettying it up (and the only reason your editor would ever let you do that) is because you and your paper are thoroughly done with said someone. Because basically almost everyone sounds like a mutard verbatim, and no one will ever talk to you again if you print them full mutard. If you don't believe me, record yourself opining on any topic and transcribe it, you'll sound like Mr. Ed with a fishhook in your lip.
Get back to twerk!
   For what it's worth the Sun hasn't been softballing Gansler either, calling out his "sleek, well-fed look of upper-middle-class suburban privilege," a barb well-earned since he sent his kid to George Huguely IV*'s alma mater, a $34,1601-a-year school for aspiring date-rapists in a district so safe their schools don't even have recurring trash can fires or race riots. And they didn't gloss over the fact that Gansler dug himself deeper trying to explain that Bethany beach-house underaged ass-grinding teen-drinking party as being more acceptable because his progeny was a penis- toting American,* or that as Attorney General he doesn't need to take responsibility for other people's children (which would explain his continual employment of Carl Snowden, yet not why he keeps trotting out that poor 11-year-old sexually-molested girl every time he opens his beerhole. Isn't using some stock-photo model in public ads as "sexually molested girl" kind of molest-y in itself? Imagine her parents' surprise. "Oh look, a residual check! I wonder what Video Blocks used that adorable footage of Ashleigh playing that with that dinosaur for? OH MY GOD!!")
   Wait, what was my point?
   Could it be that Sun reporters and editors are just like us, tired of these entitled legacy candidates thinking they can roll in and that one beer and a beach house is enough for us to let them grind on our butts? Could the Sun really endorse Mizeur? Could she really win?
    Conventional wisdom (aka my Dad) says she has no chance. The Sun will never endorse her because the Tribune Corp would never allow it happen, she's not the establishment's person. Our rural jurors will never vote for her because she's a pro-pot lesbian. Dudebros and self-loathing ladies will hesitate to vote for any female candidate because deep down they've already concluded she's either too weak or too pushy. This is the Sun's last whinny before backing establishment candidate A or B.
  What do you think?

We're in a political world now where family values trumps substance. Anthony Brown and Doug Gansler spend most of their time talking about their spawn and how proud they are of them, while Heather Mizeur steps into dangerous waters and addresses important issues that are faced by every resident of Maryland.

Councilman William Cole sums this up in a Facebook response to John Bremerman, a resident of South Baltimore concerned that Bill isn't doing his job. Bill replied: "John I feel badly for you. I have a life, a job, a family with three great kids. You have twitter, facebook and a very unhealthy obsession with me."

Ugh! Im not F'ing with none of them truthfully. As an independent voter and former Democrat supporter, I am just dying to find out who the Republican candidates are. Not that they have a chance in Hell but anyway, after this whole 8 year O'Malley fiasco, I am so done with the Democrat party at the state level. But I guess if there isn't a strong Republican lead, I'm going with the pot supporting lesbian.

If you didn't register as Democrat by last Tuesday you don't get to pick one of the three. It's going to be Larry Hogan on the Republican side versus whoever Democrats pick on June 24, either Pot Lesbian, Pleated Khakis or Underage Beer Party Guy.

"Pot Lesbian, Pleated Khakis, or Underage Beer party Guy."

I love it.
