Real Reporter Brenda STARR Pegs O'REILLY as Jerk and Murderer

[UTUSN]

It was only a matter of time until the few MSM members with integrity rebelled against the unscrupulous faux "journalists". Expect O'REILLY to call Brenda "a coward" for not appearing on his circus and to be yelling, "SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" at the funnies in his newspaper.

The Further Adventures of Brenda Starr
Our comic gal reporter, who denounced "pundit payola" last week, now gets involved in a murder case involving a thinly disguised Bill "Slash" O'Reilly. Welcome to the no spin zone!

By Greg Mitchell

.... In their daily strip syndicated by Tribune Media Services, the writer Mary Schmich (also a columnist for the Chicago Tribune) and artist June Brigman have been lampooning the punditocracy, denouncing "bribes" that "compromise us all."

It began with flame-haired Brenda attending the annual pundit party in Washington, D.C. Guest speaker: a U.S. president who looks suspiciously like George W. Bush. Other attendees: pundits who resemble Pat Buchanan, Arianna Huffington, and Al Franken (or Fred Barnes).

When the president announces an award to Brenda’s colleague Slash Burns (a thinly disguised Bill O’Reilly), who has not yet arrived, she has to go up to the stage to accept it for him. Brenda notes that Slash Burns is probably in the bathroom (“You know men”), then proclaims: “Imagine! In a democracy, the government tries to bribe journalists!" ....

When Slash (O'Reilly) arrives, disheveled, Brenda wonders if he's fooling around with his assistant (who is not his wife), though there are no references to loofahs or falafels. Slash angrily seizes the award, announcing, "I feel I've scaled journalism's Mt. Everest!"

But then someone rushes in to announce that a woman has been murdered outside. One pundit mutters, “I hate it when news interrupts my social life.” Slash moans, “The news! It’s killed my big moment!” ....

1. It looks like an amalgamation of an scaryborough and O'Lielly

biopick to me. O'Liely may be a misogynist groper but Joe's the slasher.

3. If that's supposed to be Pat Buchanan, then it's a little unfair...

Not that I agree with him on many subjects, but let's be fair here, Pat has never pretended to be anything other that a true-blue conservative pundit. I'm sure nobody ever had to pay Pat for his opinion.

4. & the Other One Is Ariana

So the references are a bit mystifying, but so long as they are going after Shrub, O'LIELLY, and the rest, ce la vie for me.

As somebody pointed out, above, so far O'LIELLY ain't a murderer either, so there's some poetic license going on.
