"Cronkite's best moment was when he did exactly
that which the modern journalist today insists they must not ever do -- directly contradict
claims from government and military officials and suggest that such claims should not be believed.
These days, our leading media outlets won't even use words that are disapproved of by the Government."
-- Glenn Greenwald, Link
Today's media whores are toadies for Bush bastards and rich Republicans.
Excerpt: House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre
Reyes will launch an investigation
into the CIA's communications with Congress.
The House Intelligence Committee formally announced
Friday that it will probe whether
the CIA broke the law by failing to inform Congress
about Cheney's secret assassination
program reportedly aimed at targeting leaders
of al-Qaeda.
Reyes said the probe would be part of a wide-ranging
investigation about the way in which
the CIA informs Congress about its covert activities
and other matters.
As always, Cheney's hit squad never hit a single terrorist.
I wonder how many billions Cheney stole in this scheme?
"If he walked away from his post and his buddies
at wartime... I don't care how hard it sounds, as far as I'm concerned, the Taliban
can save us a lot of legal hassles and legal bills.
-- FOX News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, suggesting deserters
should be murdered Video
Butt Colonel, would that apply to rich boys from Texas who deserted
in wartime
to get drunk, screw hookers and snort cocaine?
"Let us hope with all our hearts that the Taliban
aren't doing the same thing to the US soldier who was recently captured in Afghanistan
that Dick Cheney and George Bush ordered to be done to Taliban soldiers held in Baghram
and Guantanamo. Hey, Taliban! Let's have a prisoner exchange! Please give us back our soldier --
and you can have Dick Cheney instead."

Excerpt: Walter Cronkite anchored the CBS Evening News
from 1962 to 1981, leading their coverage of the
civil rights movement, JFK's assassination, the
Vietnam War and Watergate. He had been ill for some time
and was being cared for a hospital in New York
since last month. CBS said his family was with him when he died.
“It is impossible to imagine CBS News, journalism
or indeed America without Walter Cronkite,” said Sean McManus,
the president of CBS News. “More than just the
best and most trusted anchor in history, he guided America through
our crises, tragedies and also our victories
and greatest moments.”
And he didn't lie for the Republicans to further his career like
some
people...
"Long ago in the days before journalists became
celebrities, their enterprise was reviled and poorly paid, and it was understood by working newspapermen
that the presence of more than two people at their funeral could be taken as a sign that they had disgraced
the profession." -- Lewis Lapham,
author of Gonzo:
The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. ThompsonLink
“There was a time in America when the press
and the government were on opposite sides of the field. The press was supposed to speak on behalf
of the people. The new tradition is that the press speaks on behalf of the government. An example?
Tim Russert was a spokesman for power, wealth, and privilege. That’s why 1,000 people came to his memorial
service. Because essentially he was a shill for the government."

I’ve been deployed five times, all under the presidency
of someone named Bush.
It pisses me off to no end to have someone say
they won’t go do their duty because
they don’t think the president was born in this
country.
We take an oath to support and defend the constitution
and to follow orders of the president.
There’s no caveat that says we have to have proof
that the President was born in this country.
We follow the orders. Period. If
you want proof, look at the election results. There’s your proof.
I think someone should publish this guys address
so we can all mail him a white feather.

Excerpt: "The Vietcong did not win by a knockout [in
the Tet Offensive], but neither did we. The referees of history may make it a draw. . . . We have been too
often disappointed by the optimism of the American leaders, both in Vietnam and Washington, to have faith
any longer in the silver linings they find in the darkest clouds. . . .
For it seems now more certain than ever that
the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate. . . . To say that we are closer to victory today
is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past" -- Walter Cronkite,
CBS Evening News, February 27, 1968.
"I think there are a lot of critics who think
that [in the run-up to the Iraq War] . . . . if we did not stand up and say "This
is bogus, and you're a liar, and why are you doing this," that we didn't do our job. I respectfully
disagree. It's not our role." -- David Gregory,
whore who took Russert's place and Karl Rove's dancing partner,
May 28, 2008.
Of course it's not your role to dispute the lies coming from
the Republicans.
It's your job to read the script that Karl Rove writes for you.
If a concrete barrier stopped that speeding truck
cold,
why would you expect an airplane to fully penetrate
a concrete and steel building and THEN explode?
Why do you accept that a flimsy aluminum airplane
pierced through steel and concrete, remaining
intact
until it was fully inside the building, THEN
exploded?
It would have exploded right away, on the outside
of the building. Some of the plane would have
penetrated
the building, but much of it would have bounced
off
the building and fell to the ground.
Do you think if the truck were going faster that
it might
have pierced the concrete barrier, remained intact
until
the truck fully passed through the concrete barrier
and
THEN explode?
It's right in front of your eyes, Bart.
That thing about
planes being hijacked and flown into the WTC?
Never happened.

I don't have a strong opinion about the temperature at which jet fuel

I've enjoyed his writing, as well as been scared
to death by it, and love your site,
so I'm curious as to what you are referring to
when you so emphatically state Taibbi's a liar?
Honest question as I admire you and your work
immensely
and I will consider any evidence when evaluating
Taibbi's words.
Thanks

Taibbi was one of those 2008 mind-readers who knew what Hillary was
thinking at all times
and was eager to share her thoughts with us - along with the most outrageous,
salacious and damning
slant he could possible conjure up in his evil little mind.
Apparently, Hillary's every waking thought was how she could scam her
way into more power
ao she could dismember and filet all the little children in America
- according to Matt Taibbi.
Excerpt: Not only will the Democrats’ government-run health
care plan raise your costs, but it also will raise costs for our
nation’s employers – particularly small businesses.
At the heart of their proposal is a small business tax that, for tens of
millions, means diminished job security.
The NFIB warns that the small business tax and mandates in the Democrats’
plan
will destroy 1.6 million jobs – one million of
them in small businesses alone. And according to Dr. Christina Romer,
of the
WHCEA, the government takeover would cost Americans
4.7 million jobs over the next 10 years. With our economy at
its weakest since the Great Depression and unemployment
soaring, why promote policies that make jobs even more scarce?
Is Obama going to pull this off?
Is he doing a good job of explaining his plan?
If he is, I haven't seen it.
He needs to explain his plan to the stupid people in short sentences.
He needs to simplify things by saying, "Health
care costs your family more every year and that's because the lobbyists are bribing
the crooked Republicans to screw you."
But he's NOT saying that because he wants to be friends with the Fascist
dogs.
When will Barack learn that that's not going to happen?
How many times will zero Rethugs vote with him before he sees that?
Like I'm always saying - if the Democrats would list the facts,
the poor people could vote themselves free health care
for life.
Poor people have the power - they just don't know they have the power
because the idiot Democrats can't figure out a way to explain it to
them.
"What do I regret? Well, I regret that in our
attempt to establish some standards, we didn't make them stick. We
couldn't find a way to pass them on to another generation."
-- Cronkite, with a quote today's whore media would never air,
Link
"It's impossible even to imagine the likes
of Brian Williams, Tom Brokaw and friends interrupting their pompously baritone, melodramatic,
self-glorifying exploitation of Cronkite's death to spend a second pondering what he meant by
that quote?" -- Glenn Greenwald Link

Shortly before he died, Russert admitted under
oath that he was a sell-out whore.
I have too much respect for the dead to call him
a perjurer.
Excerpt: The records detail more than $468,000 worth of
state-funded travel for Sanford and show that he routinely
billed taxpayers for high-end airline seats,
racking up more than $44,000 on business-and first-class tickets.
He often stayed in pricey hotels that far exceeded
the rates he imposed on other state employees.
On one overseas trip, the state appears to have
spent more than $12,000 for the GOP governor’s
business-class tickets for a 2007 trade mission
to China, while his aides flew in steerage for $1,900.
How long are they going to stick with this loser?
He threw away over $10,000 on one trip so he could stretch his feet
a little?
I haven't read this book, but from the reviews,
it'll read like I wrote it.
"We've moved into an era in which stupidity
is celebrated if it made people money. That is 'glorifying ignorance.' The reflexive
instincts of the Gut are celebrated at the expense of reasoned, informed opinion."
Handjobs like Bush and Palin are VERY proud of their ignorance.
They mock "the elites" which is anyone smarter than them

"Jim Bunning, the former pitcher for the Philadelphia
Phillies, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1996. Bunning will sign "flats/balls" for $50, "bats/jerseys/equip"
for $65 and offer inscriptions for $10. Jim Bunning is also a U.S. Senator, from Kentucky.
Is this even legal for a U.S. Senator to do? Go out and public and sell your signature

Ball-Peen: After returning from Viet-Nam (and
Cambodia - shhhhh..) I finally had a way to shut up the racists.
I had a standing wager to give anyone 10,000
dollars if they could tell me why Eddie Johnson, an African American
from North Carolina or Paul Espinosa, a Chicano
from Salt Lake City, should be a Crew - Chief on a quarter million
dollars worth of "Huey" in Viet-Nam, but a nigger
or spic when they get home.
I never had to pay up 'cause they never could
get around that.

walked on the moon
40 years ago man first walked on the moon. But
in 1972 man quit walking on the moon
because Nixon canceled the moon program and we
haven't been past low Earth orbit since.
If we want a nation that values science and we
want to explore space and go where no one
has gone before then we need to elect leaders
from political parties that don't hate science.
Someday we may go back to the moon and on to
other planets. But in order to do that
we're going to have to stop electing Republicans.
Republicans set the human race back
too far to allow us to explore space.

Elizabeth Byrd while he was "a US congressman

The Capitol Hill whorehouse owned by an organization
affiliated with "The Fellowship" also housed John Ensign.
Gov. Mark Sanford was a frequent visitor to the

She moonwalked out to greet the crowd.
She could've been more brutal in her remarks - maybe she felt enough

After all, how many Diprivan jokes can you make?
She was funny - we enjoy her scathing but she spent a lot of
time on the Real Housewives of New Jersey which the gays in the crowd really enjoyed, but we don't watch those
shows. She'd say, "Wasn't it
awful what Jessica did to Lou Ann?" but
it's not very effective if you don't know who those people are.
She did all her Paris Hiltons amd Britneys and Seacrests - can't go
