A Wall Street Journal story today asks whether a nation of obese slobs would stand for a president like Barack Obama, who apparently has very low body fat content. It's supposed to be a serious story, actually. Atrios points us to an explanation, on SadlyNo, of how the WSJ reporter did her research.
The reporter first asked a leading question about Obama's physique on a Yahoo financial message board, and then based her story largely on one probably prankish reply she received that met her need for a "news hook." That reply indicated that the reporter's source, one "onlinebeerbellygirl", would prefer a doughy, potbellied chief executive to "any beanpole guy." The other responses posted to that same thread were from "people saying that the question is stupid, and/or making fun of [the reporter]," SadlyNo informs us. Ample documentation is provided. Arabesques of stupidity will stream through your power cord like beer flowing over your grandmother's paisley shawl.
I must say I completely agree with Alex from the SadlyNo comments thread, who sums it up like this:
If McCain were a homosexual, the WSJ would be questioning whether Obama sucked enough cock to be President.
