more dead pelican dirty tricks

we couldnt help but notice how the dead pelican is trying to stir up some nonsense over a walter boasso for governor campaign commercial. if you click the link you will see a "big news story" over there called "WALT'S WATCH: PRICEY TIME PIECE COULD STIR CONTROVERSY."

the dead pelican has a screen grab of a frame from one of senator boasso's commercials in which the dead pelican alleges that this "pricey time piece" costs around $10,000 [7,432 eur] and so the dead pelican asks through one of those mysterious "puzzled sources" "How can a guy who wears an expensive watch relate to 'the little guy?'"

first thing you have to understand is that the dead pelican is a shameless piyush shill and one thing you cant miss is the great big ol piyush for governor banner ad they are running at the top of their website. so the dead pelican is taking piyush's money while at the same time really, really reaching to write some kind of boasso hit piece. for all we know piyush's people wrote and gave the dead pelican the story to post (for a small fee of coz.)

another thing that makes us wonder... is if the dead pelican or its source can tell that this is a ten thousand dollar watch -- then why cant they tell us what brand it is so we can check for ourselves? another thing is that for all you and the rest of us know: senator boasso's employees could have all chipped in and gave him the watch for his birthday or christmas or some such. this is a typical republican, no facts required, rovian divide and conquer strategery. its based on creating a negative emotional response like jealousy and classism and even racism. so dont be a sucker!

this isnt the first time that the dead pelican has resorted to fuzzy journalism and its funny cos it reminds us of another dead pelican post from a few days ago:

back on 11 june 2007 the dead pelican had a piyush post....
