In a NewsBusters item posted on Jan. 4 at 9:00 a.m., Noel Sheppard heartily approved of Jay Leno insulting Harry Reid by saying of John Boehner telling Reid to “go fuck himself”: “Doesn’t he look like a guy who heard that a lot in high school? Usually followed by a wedgie then getting stuffed in a locker?” Sheppard added that “it’s nice to see someone in the media go after Reid.”
But just 28 minutes later — 28 minutes! — Sheppard was upset that Arnold Schwarzenegger “took a cheap shot at New Jersey Governor Chris Christie” by saying that “Chris Christie does not have a weight problem. He has a water retention problem.” Sheppard huffed: “Yeah, those fat jokes never get old when tossed at a Republican – especially if they come from a Republican In Name Only.”
Is Sheppard really that un-self-aware, or is he really that blatantly partisan?
