“Clad in her trademark butch safari suits (one kaki; another red), Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s chief international correspondent, took off “in the footsteps of Bin Laden.” In the eponymous documentary, Amanpour proves to be a good track dog, digging up everything from bin Laden’s English teacher in Saudi Arabia, circa 1968, to the minutes of the first al-Qaida meetings. A trailblazer she is not. “In the Footsteps of Bin Laden” is ultimately a dhimmi documentary. Amanpour cleaves dogmatically to the permissible narrative: bin Laden has hijacked, not heeded, Islam. Whenever a Muslim commits odious acts in the name of his faith, these must be deemedpost haste and post hoca manifestation of the inauthentic Islam.” The excerpt is from my new column, “Amanpour’s Dhimmi Documentary.” Read it here.

Bernhard Barfed
“In promoting MAC’s ‘Plushglass’ lip potion, [Sandra Bernhard] referred to the prototypic Republican woman as a ‘little freaked out, intimidated, frightened, right-wing, thin-lipped bitch.’ This, presumably, is in contrast to her own centered, courageous, larger-than-life, left-wing, and lush-lipped persona.
Bernhard’s slur, the focus of conservative ire, however, isn’t the salient feature in this coarse creature’s shtick. Her delivery is: its contents; her demeanor — everything about this woman is sickening. Allow me to talk you through the MAC ad, which I’ve transcribed verbatim. If it appears disjointed and nonsensical, it’s because this folderol is intended as a bit of choppy, esoteric, performance poetry.”

The Unbearable Nothingness of News
It doesn’t matter how many mocking clips a real newsman like Jon Stewart does of the fake news media, they never change their ways. (View “Algebra of Cable News”). They continue to run entire programs on…nothing. The number of experts willing to bang on about absolutely nothing is never-ending too.
Thus it came as no surprise when the news nincompoops repeated suspect John Mark Karr’s claim quite seriously that he was alone with JonBenet Ramsey when she died (in the basement of her home on Dec. 26, 1996), but that her death was an accident.
Are we talking about the same child who perished gruesomely by garroting and rape? You’d think the poor thing died peacefully with her loved ones surrounding her, Karr included. It reminds me of how the media persisted in calling Andrea Yates, the woman who drowned all her kids, “the Houston mom” (technically incorrect and morally reprehensible). I suspect this latest development is yet another brick in the edifice of bungling the case represents. Other than the odd meta-comment, you’re not going to read much on BAB about this latest obscenity. I’ll say this much for the record: whoever turned that poppet into a sexualized miniature adult and pimped her out like that was revolting in their own right.
