Judy Woodruff: Potential Brown Win "A Tragedy of Greek Proportions"

"Nonpartisan" PBS hack Judy Woodruff instantly wins HazZzMat's January Glass Navel Award today. This much-coveted award is bestowed monthly, more or less, upon the individual whose head is so far up his or her hindquarters that he/she needs a glass navel to see clearly ahead. (Even then, it generally doesn't help.)

Here's Judy's prizewinning prounouncement, courtesy Politico:

PBS’s Judy Woodruff, quoting someone from the White House, described the situation on ABC’s “This Week” as “a tragedy of Greek proportions if Ted Kennedy's successor is the one, is the one who was responsible for the death of health care.”

"Someone" from the White House? Why blame it on the usual unnamed source, Judy? You wouldn't have pitched it out there if you didn't agree with the sentiment which might've been yours to start with. After all, no one knows your source so no one will ever know, eh? And a Brown victory wouldn't be the "death of healthcare" and you know it. "Healthcare" will go right on being provided by the usual suspects who've been providing it. How utterly obtuse can you get?

Honorable mention goes to the impossible Chris Matthews. Neither logic nor intellectual balance can penetrate his lead-lined skull as per this astounding observation, via the same online newsrag:

Chris Matthews, on Tuesday, said that Democrats were facing a “disaster in their works,” and expressed the view that it was better in the old days when the party leadership would have made sure Democratic voters got to the polls.

"You get them lunch, you get them a car,” Matthews said, “you’d make sure they got there and in some cases you’d be buying people to get them, not officially buying them, but getting them there as block secretaries, as block captains, you’d be getting them there with street money, legitimate but it’s a little bit old school."

Don't worry Chris. If this election is even close, there'll be plenty of "legitimate" ACORN street money out of there buying plenty of talented forgers. They'll quickly create more than enough Coakley ballots after the fact to make this election turn out the way God and Ted Kennedy's ghost have ordained. But, as Tip O'Neill's protege, you knew that.
