'Eunuchs in the Harem'

Mark Steyn details what to expect from the Tank Media/Obama Support Team on election night, on Hugh Hewitt's radio show.

Noteworthy:

HH: Yesterday, I watched CNN’s Rick Sanchez mug Joe the Plumber, mocking him, along with David Gergen mocking him, for daring to have an opinion on Israel. It’s really gone over the top in many places, Mark Steyn.

MS: Yes, and I mean, I find this revolting. I mean essentially, they’re saying that Joe the Plumber being a citizen is unqualified to do anything except stand in the chorus and sing hail the great Obama. Maybe it takes a subject of a monarch to point out to these poltroons like Gergen that this is a citizen republic of citizen legislators. And the idea that somehow Joe the Plumber is demonstrating grotesque lese majeste, and having the impertinence to ask a question of King Barack the good, I think is revolting, and I think is one thing, actually, people are disgusted by when they look at the media. The media basically are behaving like a corrupt version of the House of Lords. So actually, it’s not even that good. The media have simply announced that they’re content to be the eunuchs in Sultan Barack’s harem.

HH: Now there is, however, if they’re in the business of electing Barack, they’re not doing…well, they’re probably doing it as well as they’re doing journalism right now. The new Fox News poll puts Obama’s edge over McCain at 3 in the likely voters, and at 3 in the registered voters, Mark Steyn. Do you believe that this alleged tightening is real?

MS: Yes, I think the tightening is real. I think the tightening in the swing states is real, and the tightening in all the national polls is real. What we should be prepared for, though, and I say this, it embarrasses me to have to say this, but round about 4:00, 5:00 Eastern time on Tuesday, there are going to be starting rumors that it’s a landslide, it’s an Obama landslide, anybody living west of the Florida Panhandle shouldn’t bother voting, shouldn’t bother going to the polls, it’s all over, it’s an Obama landslide. And it’s important that when we, that we stay focused until the very last poll closes in Hawaii, because the media, I believe on Tuesday afternoon Eastern time, is going to be making a concerted effort to depress turnout west.

You heard it here first, folks.

Hide and watch.
