Punchline Drunk

by digby

The clearest sign we’ve seen yet that the wingnuts are really on the run is that they are now pathetically trying to imitate liberal-ish media and they have no earthly idea what they are imitating or what it means:

Great Moments In Fox News Dept. Forget Keith Olbermann’s “Worst Person In The World” contest — it’s now been completely upstaged by a new Sunday contest on Fox: Sean Hannity’s “Enemy of the State” award.

This is their idea of irony, no doubt, but it’s not funny because … oh why bother:

An enemy of the state is a person accused of certain crimes against the state, such as treason. Falsely describing individuals in this way is often a manifestation of political repression. For example, an authoritarian regime may purport to maintain national security by describing social or political dissidents as “enemies of the state”.

They are becoming parodies of themselves.

And I have a sneaking suspicion that Dennis Miller has something to do with this — poor, sad, Dennis “bad timing” Miller who thought he was making a good career move and ended up in the wingnut ghetto.
