Halperin Finds New Flavors of Douchey

In this "PageCast" video Halperin twice asks whether President Obama is "doing too much." (In case you're just joining us, Halperin's "PageCast" is his daily list of items to "watch for." For example: Congress will be voting on things today so watch for that, and I collect a paycheck for saying this!)

He even asks his male companion in the video: "Should [Obama] cancel the stem cell event?"

Should he cancel the -- what the hell?!

This is the establishment media echo-chamber on 11. An anti-Obama rag from England started an unsourced "Obama is too tired to think straight" meme last week and now it's filtered its way to Halperin's very serious video bits.

Some background. The Telegraph also published the following stories:

“Michelle Obama’s prom date describes their high school romance”

“Germany seduced by ‘Messiah’ Barack Obama”

“Is Barack Obama really too thin to win?”

Willis asks if the Telegraph writes this crap in order to bait additional traffic from the far-right blogs. It's working. And bonus: they're clearly fueling Mark Halperin's "PageCasts."
