News you can't use

OK, time to get back in the swing of things here at Between the Columns. The news has been so exasperating of late that I frankly had nothing of worth to say or analyze over the past week. Seriously, here's what I feel the media has provided us ever since Obama won the election:
  • There's an economic crisis, and while Obama is smart, will he be too liberal?
  • There's an economic crisis, and while Obama is smart, will the change he brings be experienced enough?
  • There's an economic crisis, and Bush is out to lunch.
  • There's an economic crisis, and while Obama is smart, will he bring the change he promised?
  • There's an economic crisis, and Palin is a bumbling headline addict.
  • There's an economic crisis, and while Obama is smart, will he annoy his base by bringing in the Clinton administration?
  • There's an economic crisis, and Bush is being gracious during the transition. What a guy.
  • There's an economic crisis, and while Obama is smart, will he spend us into oblivion?
  • There's an economic crisis, and Palin pardons a turkey and gets one beheaded. Let's watch that again, shall we?
  • There's an economic crisis, and while Obama is smart, why isn't he campaigning for that dude in Georgia?
  • There's an economic crisis, and while Obama is smart, should he have so many press conferences now?
  • There's an economic crisis, and while Obama is smart, how much time will we give him to turn things around?
  • There's an economic crisis, and Bush is not intellectually curious, which might explain why there's an economic crisis.
So, there you have it. Now you know why I have no analysis. What the heck am I going to add to this repetitive, depressing, self-absorbed drivel?

Well, maybe one thing: Bush's Escape from Responsibility Tour '08 actually makes the Iraq War Disaster seem almost acceptable in comparison.
