Isn't He Cute

One thing I've noticed during the eulogizing of George Carlin on TV... Several times this week, I've seen a television pundit air a particularly biting clip containing some important social or political satire. Not one of Carlin's jokey jokes, but a really serious remark about religion or yuppies or voting. And then, when the clip ends, the pundit laughs out loud and reacts as if the clip contained a wacky, innocuous, jokey joke punchline.

It's a similar kind of condescension the very serious types show to bloggers. Aren't they cute with their outrage? Hoo-hoo! Then they throw to a story about a shark attack.

Whoa... there was a shark attack?!? Hope they get footage! Or a car chase! Yeah, them car chases can be very amusing! Except when people die. Hope they don't show that. But they show the chase. Or the shark. Whichever.

What were we talking about, again?
