Oh that silly Conor Clarke, Expecting Us to… Read…

OK, so now that I’ve made fun of Conor Clarke’s headlines , I had to be fair and go back and read the actual articles. It only gets funnier… in a sad way. I urge everyone to actually read these, but let’s go to some excerpts (creatively edited, for effect):

Obama Won’t Stop Your Tears
Michelle Malkin was going postal this morning about “new federally subsidized counseling services” for those suffering from economic hardships. Sounds like a crazy government boondoggle, right? Indeed it does. And Drudge seems to agree.

But, fortunately for taxpayers and unfortunately for critics, the new “services” in question actually consist of a single page

Obama Won’t Repair Your Car
The conservative blogosphere is indulging itself in a bit of snark over this part of Obama’s auto-industry speech…

But I doubt any of these people has actually read the plan.

If they did, they would realize that the warranty program does not put the government in the business of making auto repairs.

Big Government Will Set Your Salary?
One of the nice things about the Internet is that you no longer need to rely on a journalist’s description of a bill: You can dig up the bill and read it yourself! (If you can handle the excitement, of course.) And in the case of Byron York’s piece in the today’s Examiner — “Beyond AIG: A bill to let Big Government set your salary” — it’s worth going back to the primary sources.


I am willing to bet that none of these people has read the bill, because all of their descriptions are wrong.


But don’t take my word for it: Read the bill (it’s below). So many others have not..

Just who does Conor Clarke think we are? Intelligent Americans??
