One Article, Hold The Snark

I'm not a fan of political reporting these days. It's by and large stupid, and it seems that the writers try to make up for a lack of any real content with snark. When I hit Google News today to see what was happening, the lede of the New York Times article on the President's Bus Tour caught my eye with one of the all time great combinations of stupidity and snark:

"The dirty little secret of President Bush's bus tour is that he didn't spend much time on the bus."

As the great Forest Gump used to opine, "stupid is as stupid does".
