Sprinkles in the Tank

Just when I thought Liz "Sprinkles" Sidoti and her enabling wank of an editor could not commit more crimes against the legacy of the Associated Press, comes this:

Before Ron Fournier returned to The Associated Press in March 2007, the veteran political reporter had another professional suitor: John McCain's presidential campaign.

In October 2006, the McCain team approached Fournier about joining the fledgling operation, according to a source with knowledge of the talks. In the months that followed, said a source, Fournier spoke about the job possibility with members of McCain's inner circle, including political aides Mark Salter, John Weaver and Rick Davis.

Salter, who remains a top McCain adviser, said in an e-mail to Politico that Fournier was considered for "a senior advisory role" in communications.

So it comes as no surprise that the AP's coverage of Obama has been full of slanted pontificating as Fournier pushes not just straight reporting, but comments and analysis -- so much of it amazingly unfair and non-analytical about Obama.

For, just this year alone Fournier has penned some real slimes against Obama, the first one coming to mind being this one:

Barack Obama better watch his step.

He's bordering on arrogance.

The dictionary defines the word as an "offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride." Obama may not be offensive or overbearing, but he can be a bit too cocky for his own good.

Fournier knows how to put an "uppity negro" in his place.

And now we know there is more than just his own offensive agenda in place, there's water to be carried.

He should be fired.

Immediately.

So he can get that blessed McCain job and operate in the open.
