Walter E. Wallis on Jerry Pournelle's Current Mail page, commenting on typical Mass Media Podpeople misconduct at White house press conferences:
The latest "You are dethpicable" response to White House critics demonstrates the need for a change in that office to someone who can respond more in the language of today’s discourse. Gulag/Nazi accusations need something more than prissy tsking. I propose that the office be shared between Ann Coulter and John Bolton, with the occasional addition of a sock puppet to respond appropriately to the more idiotic, Helen Thompson type questions. If that does not bring the press conference back from the gotcha game it has become to a sincere machine to answer questions, we can borrow one more device, pouring green goo down from the ceiling on really inappropriate commenters.
(Hmmm... that's a lot of green goo!) And Jerry Pournelle's addendum: Maybe we can expand on this idea...
Anyone wanna have a go at it?
