Anti-Bush singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow’s crappy plan to save the planet was to make it a law that citizens only use one square of toilet paper after doing their business. As Larry the Cable Guy said on Conan O’Brien’s show last night, “She don’t eat the same things I eat!”
No doubt. Liberal-lefties like her simply aren’t like the rest of us—and I don’t just mean their bowel movements. They’re trying to make us more like them and less like us, because we’re bad and they’re good; but they should really approach us through a different orifice. Maybe getting to the brains of liberals works through that one, Sheryl, but for us in the sensible set, shoot for the the ears and eyes to get to our brains.
But here’s a new twist as caught by the superb folks at the Media Research Center’s NewsBusters blog, written by Scott Whitlock and the master himself, Brent Baker. And anytime it involves Diane Sawyer, I love it because as I always say, Sawyer is much like the state-run CBC in that she has the unique ability to actually make you dumber with each second you listen to her. To wit:
On Thursday’s Good Morning America, the ABC program touted a liberal New Yorker who is so concerned about the environment that he refuses to use toilet paper. GMA devoted eight and a half minutes of the May 10 show to promoting the cause of Colin Beaven, a man who, in addition to his bathroom stance, refuses to buy anything in packaging, won’t use transportation, even elevators, and insists that all his food be grown within 250 miles.
According to liberal weatherman Sam Champion, who admiringly recounted Mr. Beaven’s story, “The rules may seem a little extreme.” A little? Co-anchor Diane Sawyer talked to the environmentalist in a follow-up segment and gushed over Beaven’s bizarre, minimalist lifestyle:
“And so good for you. Yeah. What you were saying about the way it concentrates your mind to be free of concern about a lot of the things in your life. It really makes sense to me.”
No word on whether Sawyer will be opting to forgo toilet paper.
I note that NewsBusters indicates that in the Good Morning America story, they never once referred to Beaver as a “liberal”. But on his web site, he states emphatically:
“A guilty liberal finally snaps, swears off plastic, goes organic, becomes a bicycle nut, turns off his power, composts his poop and, while living in New York City, generally turns into a tree-hugging lunatic who tries to save the polar bears and the rest of the planet from environmental catastrophe while dragging his baby daughter and Prada-wearing, Four Seasons-loving wife along for the ride.”
But for another good Friday laugh, you really have to watch the video they captured of Sawyer gushing over this liberal poo-head.
