Remainders: Still Inside the Media Bubble
- Rush Limbaugh on Hillary Clinton: “She sounds like a screeching ex-wife.” Heh, he should know. [Media Matters]
- Former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan lands an $8.5 million book deal — and he doesn't even blog. [NYT]
- If you liked the Martin Sheen sighting from today's installment of Wonk'd, you'll love these “West Wing” stalker photos. [DCist via Law Dork]
- Yeah, we disagreed with a lot of Tom Shales's Oscar commentary too (such as his description of Reese Witherspoon's acceptance speech as “ingenuous” and “beguiling”). [tomatoes are delicious]

That's funny, especially for Rush, given that I'm sure he "sounds exactly like an asshole ex-husband."

What are you talking about? Witherspoon's speech was more fake than the stage set. I like her. But she was giving a speech for class president. She does that ridiculous over-earnest thing with her eyes and her head. And Ryan Phillippe looked like he had seen that puppy dog face one too many times. I thought he was going to through a shoe at her.
Perhaps this is all because she makes the same face and voice cues in Election. But just as my partner said, she is not credible. She's like the smart good looking girl, who is an actress because she loves the attention and its easy.

I'm assuming that the "you" in 1974's comment is referring to Shales, not Wonkette (since Wonkette is saying that they DISagreed with the characterization of Reese's speech as "ingenuous" and "beguiling").
