New, nauseating phrases of the moment

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 3, 2004 12:43 PM

Well, now that the talking heads don’t have to say “Too Close To Call” anymore, a new batch of mindlessly repeated phrases are polluting the airwaves

“The Country is Deeply Divided.”

“It’s Time to Heal.”

“We Need to Heal.”

“The President Must Reach Out.”

Oh, blecch. Yes, civility is all well and good. But it is hard to stomach the sanctimony from liberals who had nothing to say when Teresa Heinz Kerry was insulting the First Lady, when the MSM/ULM was mauling John O’Neill, when Ted Kennedy was smearing the President, when John Ashcroft-haters were celebrating his hospitalization, and when left-wing bigots were mocking Condoleezza Rice and gloating over Ronald Reagan’s death.

Yes, the country is divided. Divided between gracious winners and mud-slinging, hypocritical whiners who have nothing else to do now but point to their emotional boo-boos and decry the dirtiness of politics.
