The KC Star gave Jason Whitlock a column, and it’s, um, bad…

Well, in fact, it’s been quite a bit more lucrative for Glenn “Rev. Right” Beck and Sarah “Gal Sharpton” Palin, the shiny new stars of the elitist, right-wing mainstream media…

Rev. Right is challenging Bill O’Reilly as the face of Fox News and now earns more than $30 million a year from the radio-TV-book empire built on the laughable notion that Beck speaks for the common man. Since quitting elected office, Gal Sharpton has pocketed an estimated $12 million as a community organizer of “real Americans…”

As some of you know (and detest), I avoid our political system. I’ve never voted. I don’t have a political affiliation or ideology. I did, however, have a naive hope that our multi-cultured, traditional-values president would usher in a teeny bit of racial harmony…

All emphasis is mine.

First, no honest and thinking person could entertain the notion that the mainstream media is right-wing, especially when “there is a quantifiable and significant bias” to the left.

Second, is he making fun of the idea of a community organizer? Well I guess it doesn’t mean anything since he didn’t vote for the president and has no political ideology…except for the one he’s so angrily espousing in this column.

And in what world is this a “traditional-values president”?

If you look at the comments, the Star’s decision seems to have backfired.
