I just read Elaina Calabro’s opinion of Lara Logan. It brought to mind an old saying, “Opinions are like a%$holes…everybody has one.”
I just read her piece on Ivanka Drumpf in the Atlantic. Wow, I didn’t know a person could lick the bottom of somebody’s shoes to that degree.
I feel gross and sick now. This woman could write a puff piece on how wonderful Charles Manson is with a straight face.
She exemplifies ‘access journalism’ if you use the word “journalism” very loosely. Writing about other pampered silver spoon buffoons is clearly her forte. Going to Yale used to mean something, not anymore. Burn in hell lady…you’re utterly useless.
Ahh.. the tolerant left….. Nice comments Mike. 🙂
Wow Mike! Talk about OVERKILL… All she did was write a piece about someone you don’t like. All you had to say is that you didn’t like the article. It’s really that simple. Saying the writer is “useless” and she should “burn in hell” shows that YOU are the problem, not Elaina or her writing.
Gun-happy states, Alabama and Mississippi to name two, for example, are just a reflection of a country that is in love with their guns and has no regard for public safety. This is clearly an example of a state-run amok with no adequate gun laws, where a person gets shot and the criminal is still not caught.
Thank God this young lady wasn’t murdered. This country lives in a Civil War, Wild Wild West mentality where their views on guns are blinded by ignorance.
