In Tuesday's Chicago Sun-Times, TV critic Doug Elfman wasn't enthusiastic about a new USA Network program, "Starter Wife":
"The show just kind of lies there, like the bird poop that fell on our president's face at a press conference the other day. Oh, I mean, his shirt. Sorry. Wishful thinking."
When Elfman won an award at a newspaper he previous wrote for, the editor cited him for his "quick wit."
Perhaps among mainstream media types, wistfully dreaming of bird poop on President Bush's face qualifies as a real knee slapper. What's next at the Sun-Times, the food editor hoping to see the President slide on a banana peel?
Elfman is right about one thing: He is indeed sorry.

May 30, 2007 - 20:52 ET by acumenAm I starting to see a pattern here? No, can't be - Not after so many, many, many "respected" demediacrat(ic)s have denied media bias exists. Must be just "wishful thinking".

No, it must just be me. Better move on, nothing to see here.

May 30, 2007 - 21:04 ET by SportPoliticsSounds like he could write for the shows he criticizes. His last line is a beg for the "rest of America" shows, but his little Bush line puts him right inline with the shows he critiqued, proving him a liar. Even he can't do something other.
award
May 30, 2007 - 22:59 ET by iveseenitallThe guy got an "award" from his previous employer. Typical of the liberals. As if any of their "awards", from Oacars, to Pulitzers, to Nobels, to the Cannes mean anything to anyone but themselves. Phony hypocrites all.
NEVER,NEVER trust a liberal

the editor cited him for his "quick wit.". He is only half as fast this year.
