Three Hours Of Fisking

Posted on

by Smitty

Valley of the Shadow continues its relentless fisk attack on that hoary old plate of hors d’ oeuvres, 60 Minutes. Read these reviews of the last three weeks of this hotbed of lefty horticulture.

17 October

  1. The City of David
  2. Homeless Veterans
  3. 1906 Film of Market Street

24 October

  1. The 99’ers, which got some attention in the blogs

31 October

  1. Anger in the Heartland
  2. Taxing the Rich

Their reporting is so horrendous, that even an ancient Roman like Horace would know it for a pile of hooey. We’ll stop short of using certain adjectives from Jerry Brown’s campaign to describe 60 Minutes’ horrible mattress-on-the-back attack, except, perhaps, subtextually.
Conservatives, you see, just aren’t smart enough for that sort of humor.
