In reference to ’s review of the on Faux News, Roy over at Aclicublog had this to say:

the wants souls turned his way because he wants them to do something for him. He wants results. In his black, rubber heart, he does not get the appeal of Madame Bovary or Lolita or The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. What action plan follows upon these? What agenda is advanced? What polling results will be affected? Whereas a well-crafted Swift Boat ad, or blog, or column will make people do things — vote, or fail to vote, or stay mad at the people you want them mad at, or stay worshipful of the people you want to remain unquestioned.

That is why David Frum — whose soul, if he ever had one, must be fatally wearied by the lifelong application of his verbal talents to propaganda — looks at this failed comedy show and thinks — says! — that the great failure there was not a failure to clear a grateful public’s minds and lungs with laughter, nor a failure to provide them with a fresh angle from which to view their world, but a failure to “create a conservative institution with cultural power.”

To him is not a spring that refreshes the spirit, but a storehouse of destructive to be used against his enemies.

Perfect :) I’m going to be reading Alicublog more often ;) - Barbara Frum, the late great CBC journalist must be spinning in her grave to see what a fucking wanker her son became.
