Exploding Head Time

I found this charming little piece of video and felt I had to share. I have no comments since the clip speaks for itself.

    keep blogging on sites asking others who hillary is going to pick as vp. We now need to get the excitement going for it.

  • The Real Hope

    What a biddy! Plain and simple!

  • an observer

    Y’all, Obama is actually an alien. He is a Ferengi!

    Here is a defination of a Ferengi: They and their culture are characterized by a mercantile obsession with profit and trade and their constant efforts to swindle people into bad deals. They are also known for their business acumen and for exploiting females.
    Like most of their culture, their religion is also based on principles of capitalism: they offer prayers and monetary offerings to a Blessed Exchequer in hopes of entering the Divine Treasury upon death, and fear an afterlife spent in the Vault of Eternal Destitution.

    Considering British asset Sore’s puppet Obama, art reflects reality!

  • http://www.mytowntalks.com MyTownTalks

    That is actually a decent idea. I better one would be to load up all the blogs announcing Hillary as the Democratic Nominee prior to the convention to skew the search results for when the Obama bots starts searching for information about their messaih’s nomination. :-)

  • Dawnelle Leona del Puma

    she always reminds me of a rotten carrot cake!

    lmao

    HERE’s Manning’s latest if you’ve missed it

    actually he has an apology that is more recent

    apology to michelle for calling her ugly! lol

    Manning is about 98 percent righteous and 2 percent wacked!

    Makes it interesting to watch! I find myself agreeing with him most of the time. Eerie as I am NOT uber religious.

    ok now I’ll go watch carrot top

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    Well, Maureen should know that, no matter how hard she sucks up, they aren’t going to like her or trust her. Her traitorous record precedes her, and her ability to be loyal is doubtful.

    Plus, she sold herself so cheaply.

    See, she was bought so easily–with an “I like your boots.”

    There is a name for people who are for sale.

    Off the main point, she looks like she’s had a STROKE. The right side of her face, (left side as you look at her) is positively DROOPING.

    Guess the restalin wore off on that side? Or the botox was unevenly applied?

    She really does look like she’s had a hemiplegic episode.

  • yttik

    Arrrgggg….

    I did have fun watching the news tonight. They’re all a buzz with Hillary being on the roll call at the convention. The way they see it, she’s now managed to “hijack” 3 days of the convention. They claim she’s manipulated Obama and robbed him of his spotlight.

    Finally, in the midst of all this whining about poor, powerless Obama, somebody asked, “But if he can’t handle Hillary Clinton, how can he handle Putin?”

    Uhhh….good point. You can’t have it both ways, boyz.

  • Honora

    Oh my Gawd- i am not sure how my computer screen is still in one piece. What total bs, I hate all of the people on that panel. I used to like doris, no more.

  • AX10

    Maureen Dowd is THE ONE person who makes Mitt Romney bearable.

  • NObama in August

    ….and lets face it. Who wants to hear Obama speak?

  • missE

    They are making him look weak and are too stupid to see that the voters will look at him that way also.

  • meileen

    I know, they’re going bonkers! They’re running scared, and I love it! They actually think she’s trying to steal this from him, when in fact, the entire convention is scripted to their own desires.

    Boy, these folks are dumb!

  • We Will Remember in November!

    I think the DNC is starting to come around to the fact that if Obama is nominated and all the stuff comes out the Democrats will be in the political wilderness for a much longer time then carter to bill clinton. We are facing two wars and Putin is staring us down and we are staying to turn our heads away. In tough times people look to strong leadership, the economy will once again become secondary. Obama’s doveness views on war will not fly. Obama was afraid to debate Hillary after he had to actually take questions about HIS factual and actual associations. How can he handle Putin if he can’t even handle George Stephanous(sp?). Please!

    The DNC allowing Hillary’s name to be placed in nomination is an insurance policy against a full frontal assault on Obama’s secret and hidden past.

    I like Rev Manning. He’s far from perfect, but he’s brave enough to speak his mind and that’s refreshing. LOL, he can also be hilarious.

    Now see, I don’t agree with everything Rev Manning says and I do think he gets pretty sexist sometimes, but I respect him. He’s got integrity, he’s true to himself.

  • http://obamafact.blogspot.com/ Mel

    Hillary inviting soldiers from the medical facility in Germany to the convention, and a few from New Orleans and all members of the Banking Commitee along with a few ghosts to bolster Obama’s status.

  • http://www.dawnellesplace.com Dawnelle Leona del Puma

    I watched Stephanie (traitor) Miller grill some Hillary supporter with a Spanish Name (I forget her name but her and Stephanie look similar)

    anyyyyyyyway she was literally GRILLING her (on larry king’s show)

    accusing her of knowing something about Hillary trying to take control of the convention all the while making SURE we all understood that she didn’t TRUST the Clinton’s would NOT being trying to orchestrate some trouble, blah, blah, blah, (smug ugly look) making the other woman GRAVEL and have to admit NO NO there is NO deceit, Barack WON the nomination, HE’s our candidate, Hillary wi working HARD to get him elected it’s ALL about catharsis (in other words) for the OLD FRIGGEN LADIES

    I HATE THAT HACK OF A DJ – She really does SUCK at it. The guys on her show are actually more funny!!

    NO ONE will tell the truth of what all is going on under the radar. NOTHING about his birth certificate, his school admissions record surfacing, all this other crap he’s failing with GREAT ZEST I might add.

    It’s not LITTLE trivial BS anymore (not that it ever really does) but I don’t understand the twilight zone physics goin down cuz in the REAL world all that (lead weight) trouble would have sunk any other candidate weeks ago (maybe months)

    it’s otherworldly or outer limits voodoo chit man and I am tired watching this descend into such stage craft (as CNN even said) NEVER have I witnessed this kind of bizarre garbage!

    Will Bower earlier tonight on FOX was insulted and baited like an anchovy by CAVUTO (surprising me) I never thought that Oinker would behave like such a punk.

    WILL you did a GREAT JOB THOUGH and SPEAK FOR ME!!!! So far everything you say is EXACTLY how I feel as well. KEEP IT UP! PLEASE! If you ever need anything and you are in Western NC let me know I will gladly drive you anywhere for NADA!

  • AF catfish

    Immediately after he died you could tell a lot of them gave veiled criticism “he was such a good friend” and “he had so much influence” James Fallows in his September article lays it out more explicitly, that Russert had so much influence he was imitated when he set a bad example.

    Gergen said Obama made himself look weak by dragging this out piece by piece (by avoiding the situation, procrastinating.) Obama should have met with the Clintons looong ago, Gergen said, hammered out all of the details then faced the press & public with everything decided.

    They still haven’t decided how it will work on the convention floor, CNN reported.

    Oh, let’s be happy for Hillary the “champion” as Democracy goes down the tubes. Meacham, basically doing the same gloss over the party process. OUTRAGEOUS nonsense over and over again on the PUBLIC airwaves….

    I’m so sick of all this crap…what would it take to do a quick compilation of all the crap that happened instead of framing Clinton as a “whiner”…too much to ask for, I guess, these days….

  • voterinexile

    women who turn on other women, esp. when they are as strong, powerful and brilliant as our hillary are not merely jealous or even everyday meanies – they lust after the same kind of autonomy, freedom and yes, power.

    writers hide behind their words; mcdowdy has admitted she is camera shy, so she rarely appears on the tube.

    she wishes she were just like hillary and because she can’t attain hillary’s level of brilliance (particularly her ability to be on the public stage as a healthy, actualized human being) – she tries to knock her off her pedestal.

    Hillary is what the aussies call a Tall Poppy and fair game.

    i wish she’d go away.

    i can’t wait for November 4th.

    i knew SHE was a former goldwater girl but didn’t know the politics of it

    I was too young to remember any of that (and Steph should have been too so the fact her and Goldwater’s GRANDdaugher right? are friends?

    oh who cares she’s just a terrible traitor! I remember trying to listen to her show because she liked Wes Clark (I never thought she was as funny as say, ew Randi no I guess she was never really funny either, god I don’t know WHAT my mental problem was back then to be honest)

    I had bent too far left it seems

    whew, I have to thank HILLARY for taking the Looney Left BEND out of my back!! W00T!

  • C.S.

    I refuse to accept the propaganda that Obama won the primaries and always reference the three presidential candidates. And every time I read or hear about Obama literally planning the convention like some kind of dinner party; right down to and including the speakers like “boy-girl-boy-girl” place cards and with Obama as the host and Mrs. Obama as the hostess; I know the VIP members of the Democratic party must be very ashamed of their ineptness before the court of world opinion.

    Senator Clinton should pick a vice presidential nominee because in an honest convention she has as much chance of winning the nomination as he does. And I know she has more chance of winning the election that he does.

    any suggestions on who to add?

    besides the few already mentioned?

    tell me quick and I’ll add them

  • beverly leslie

    Who are all these flucking insane people on this panel?!? What a bunch of flucking morons! Tim Russert is disgusting as is M. Dowd. There are plenty of intelligent women and men who would have disagreed with the idiots on the panel. Why not have a divergent opinion? I’ll tell you why, they don’t want a different opinion. They only want to hear their talking points regurgitated. A bunch of flucking sickos. They don’t want to face the facts they took part in ahborent behavior, or stood idly by and said nothing.

    I can’t wait till barky goes down in flames. Bwwwwwaaaaaaa!!!!!

  • C.S.

    Now why would anyone think that we couldn’t see that double standard?

    Obama is the one whose stolen the convention of the members of the Democratic party away from them.

    Obama is the one who set himself up to speak in a football stadium and then charged admission to the members of the Democratic party.

    The members of the Democratic party who support Senator Clinton’s nomination also have special accommodations not quite so plush; wire cages with barbed wire and helpful authorities to taser them if they object to locking Senator Clinton out.

    And Senator Clinton’s place on the program is squeezed in after Obama’s wife’s relatives and Obama’s Indonesian born sister speak and with a bunch of other second tier party members! And they think we’ll take their whining about Senator Clinton stealing his thunder seriously! This new Democratic party is more dillusional that even I thought.

  • KendallJ

    I’m glad that asshole tubby Tim Russert dropped dead. That whole show was designed to have women sit their and deny the misogyny and sexism that those f*cking misogynists at MSNBC hurled all through the campaign.

    Since there definitely NOT “equal rejection” of sexism and racism, all bets are off as far as I’m concerned. In other words, screw em. I’m not respecting anybody who doesn’t respect me. I don’t give a rat’s ass what if a misogynist sexist pig calls me a racist. Far as I’m concerned, it’s a wash.

  • NObama in August

    I only watched the first few minutes. As soon as I saw that the video was only going to belittle sexism or Hillary, I stopped it. (I’ve learned the hard way)

  • Zee

    You should’ve stuck to the end…some guy, no clue who, said we could dislike the candidates on their own merits or lack thereof and not be accused of bigotry.

    Where the HELL was he this entire primary season? If you called Obama on his FAIRY TALES you were a “racist.” If you rolled your eyes at his ums and ahs and inexperience? A racist. If you hated his personal roster of frauds, haters and conmen….you got it, a racist.

  • Danny

    What a horrible woman Maureen Dowd is. YUK!

    and to think I once loved reading her stuff, until that is I realized she is just another woman hater like Nacy Pelosi is. If its not Maureen getting the attention she will attack other females who look larger and more bright than her. Thus her attacks on Hillary.

  • Pink Panther

    OFF TOPIC: Can someone address Obama courting the pro-lifers?

    This after he opposed a bill to care for babies born live after botched abortions, and after making the statement he did not want his "daughter to be punished with a baby" should she inadvertently become pregnant.

    Has this man no integrity or pride? Can’t he stick to any issue and principle?

  • Thinker

    Maureen Dowd is one of the main reasons why I stoppped reading NYT. She hates Hillary so much that she appeared on national television denying what Hill said about the blatant misogyny throughout the campaign.

    Something is seriously wrong with her.

  • Thinker

    Strickland

  • http://www.progressive.org/mag_reed0508 Beowulf

    It’s official:

    Maureen Dowd is a fellatio feminist of the Ann Coulter and Camille Paglia variety. They’re even worse than those “Bros Before Ho’s” feminists vis-a-vis Rachel Maddow.

    There were two subtexts in this election season:
    1. Race.
    2. Gender.

    Racism can appear in one of 3 key ways:

    1(a). Overt racist attacks alluding to stereotypes about blacks such as inferiority, crime, sexuality, and so on. A prime example of this is the Willie Horton ads of 1988.

    1(b). Unfair attacks that stick will invariably lead to whites seeing Obama in that “OJ archetype”, if you will. When the unfair attacks stick, and people see Obama as corrupt, than they will subconsciously associate his corruption with his skin color. This is the “race subtext” argument which Obama and his black supporters have been cravenly abusing, including the likes of Donna Brazille who actually used the exact term.
    However, if the attacks are fair, (for Obama is total conman who himself race-baits incessantly), then they are fair and there is NOTHING racist about them, i.e. anyone can call OJ a murderer, since it is true. Doing so is NOT racist, b’coz OJ is a murderer. (Of course, comparing a black person or black people in general to OJ is downright racist. Recall Jesse Jackson Jr. was the idiot who racebaited by comparing Obama to OJ back in January.)

    1 (c). Unfair & hypocritical treatment. Yes, the corporate media which greedily jumped headlong into helping Obama race-bait the Clintons were themselves constantly race-baiting Obama. The Jeremiah Wright coverage was unfair w.r.t. why McCain and the GOP routinely get off so easily when it comes to their crazy white preachers.

    (Note: It was more than fair for Hillary to attack Obama over Wright, since she has no pastor problem of her own. Moreover, that racist jerk Wright personally attacked her and Bill the in most scurrilous way in a tax exempt church, which is ILLEGAL. Even then, she barely did it–and certainly no where even remotely close to what Obama did with Geraldine Ferraro, who was so right on so many levels to begin with!)

    —————————-
    Now the same thing applies with SEXISM:

    1. There were tons of overtly sexist remarks made by members of corporate media, the GOP and of course Obama, “The Kitchen Sink strategy”, “she’s throwing dishes, the frying pan, the kitchen sink at me… [parapharasing]“, “Hillary’s Tanya Harding strategy”… There’s tons more, and it would take forever to list them all!

    2. There were grotesque double standards, hypocrisy, etc. “She’s so ambitious!” “What does Hillary want?” “What is Hillary up to?” Talk about loaded questions! These loaded questions inherently implied she is corrupt and ambitious.

    Why is this NEVER asked of the men? Obama is running for Prez as a Freshman Senator with virtually nothing on his resume. Obama and McCain were each telling one whopper after another; Obama was always flip-flopping left and right, up and down like a rag doll in the middle of a hurricane. Yet is was Hillary that was pegged as not trust worthy. Hillary told one whopper over Tuzla, and the corporate media made a federal case out of it. Yet any idiot can go to YouTube and find tons of footage of Obama and McCain repeatedly contradicting themselves. Obama of course was exaggerating and embellishing his pathetic list of accomplishments, and was never called for them.

    Without question, McCain is a much bigger liar than Hillary. And Obama is the biggest liar since Bush–at least as BIG.

    3. The “gender subtext”: If Hillary really is corrupt, then attacks on her are totally fair. But if the attacks are unfair–which they of course were about 90% of the time, or hypocritical much less blatantly sexist, then what makes Hillary different from others, i.e men, is also what makes her corrupt, i.e. her gender. “That fucking cunt is a liar!” A close friend of mine actually said this to me. Naturally, I told him to go fuck himself. We’re still close friends, LOL.

    It’s truly amazing how African Americans relentlessly miscite the archetypal “race subtext” argument, but conveniently overlook the corresponding “gender subtext” argument. It was none other than Obama and themselves who were mercilessly practicing not just gender-baiting, but race-baiting–as well as character assassination.

    —————————-

    A lot of people here seem to despise Keith “Obama movment Obergruppenführer” Olbermann. For me, that degenerate tin horn Chris Matthews was the BIGGEST ASSHOLE of the primary season. He was constantly overtly race-baiting the Clintons, incessantly repeating Obama’s dubious claims. Mattgews was also constantly gender-baiting in that archetypal “gender subtext” sense.

    So many times he kept saying garbage like: “Hillary’s women, those OLD women!…” (With very sarcastic emphasis on “OLD”. As if Mattews himself were any younger than the average female Hillary supporter. LOL.) Now imaging if instead if Matthews were to utter that same sentence in the context of RACE: “Obama’s supporters, his BlACK supporters!…” Again with an intense sarcastic emphasis on “black”.

    Matthews has degenerated into a pathetic race-baiting, gender-baiting, flag-waving opportunist who’s about to run for the US Senate. Asshole!

    Not sure if anyone noticed but Matthews was on Leno about 2-3 weeks ago. Leno asked him about his statement that Obama’s (vacuous) speeches sent “chills” up his leg, a comment for which Matthews has taken a lot of heat for from the rightwing. Naturally, that tin horn of an opportunist who is about to run for the US Senate in Pennsylvania pulled a bait-n-switch. Leno’s question was about media objectivity. Matthews quickly spun it into–yep, you guessed it: PATRIOTISM. [paraphrasing] “I’m a passionate guy. I feel it deeply. I root for us, for our country. I’m not one to just sit there and not root for America!”

    What a friggin’ asswipe!

    LOL, it used to be that patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel… Now it is the first.

    ——————-

    Ass for Maureen Dowd, she desperately needs to get her head outta her ass.

  • http://www.progressive.org/mag_reed0508 Beowulf

    She’s always hated the Clintons. In fact, I don’t think she likes anyone, despite here seemingly liberal to moderate worldview.

    Translation: She’s narcissistic.

  • http://www.progressive.org/mag_reed0508 Beowulf

    Repeat: When attacks on Hillary or Obama are legit, there is no gender or race subtext, i.e. no sexism nor racism. However, if the attacks are baseless, then the respective subtexts are most certainly there, i.e. Sexism in Hillary’s case and racism in Obama’s case. Moreover, if the attacks are hypocritical, i.e. white men don’t get the same treatment, then that is also racist/sexism, etc. When sexism or racism is being played, then the victims have every right to call the perpetrators on it.

    Obama of course cries foul at legit attacks, i.e. he’s the one who’s race-baiting.

    Hillary took way too long to call the media and Obama on their sexism, which the media,Obama and the GOP naturally characterized as her playing the gender card. How typical.

    As for Hillary’s claim she was the victim of sexism during her Health Care initiative back in the early 1990′s? Hell Yeah! The GOP went much further than just rampant sexism and character assassination. They sent Ken Starr after the Clintons.

  • NObama in August

    It seems that it will have to be the supporters or the public who denounce the sexism. Anything Hillary says will be turned against her by the media.

    I a sickened by this woman. Why do women who become jealous about another woman’s success always become a bitch and trash them in anyway they can with “just words” in a crappy paper or “just words” in an interview with a man who was clearly in the tank for Obama. I will vote only once more in my lifetime for a Democrat and that will be for HRC only as President. I will then vote straight Republican tickets from here on out. This party deserted the base of its supporters. It has been a real eyeopener.

    Gergen not only said this, but looked a bit irritated at Obama for handling all this as clumsily as he did–and Gergen is a fan of Obama!

    I stopped listening to Air America Radio right after the Super Tuesday primaries in Feb when all the hosts (except Hartman) were calling for HRC to step down–even though she had won the blue states and was ahead by about 200 delegates!

    Actually, Randi Rhodes was the worst!

    Doris Goodwin was disgraced a few years ago when it was discovered that she plagiarized material–in a very blatant fashion–which appeared in one of her books.

    I was thinking of the same thing!

    Actually, by her own logic hateful words and images used against women are not misogynistic at all, so I guess we should go for it!

    If this is the case, then someone should make a nutcracker out of Maureen’s vermin-like mouth! (I wonder if she would say that this comment is misogynistic?)

    Rev. Manning is an idiot and a self-hating black man. He hates all black people. He has no integrity and no shame.

    It’s a good thing that I, as an AA really don’t like 0bama and am furious at the way the DNC manipulated the Primary process to sabotage Hillary. If I were a borderline person sitting on the fence, I would, after listening to Manning and the way many of you people sing his praises, shift over to the other side.

    You all lose credibility by quoting Manning and holding him up as a paragon of virtue.

    As time goes by, after 0bama gets the nomination, you all better start being more careful about who you align with. There are plenty of people out there who can be pushed to the 0bama camp. Don’t make it easier for 0bama to get elected by giving this self-hating black man a platform to get attention.

    Dowd is a self-hating woman. She is the female version of Rev Manning. These are people who hate their birthright.

    Dowd is aging badly and I mean that in every sense of the word. She probably had her fair share of ardent male admirers as a young woman and I’m sure it made her feel superior. Like many women who get into that, she forgot that time is the enemy for women in this category.

    She’s an old broad now and I’m sure it rots her guts to watch a new generation of younger women getting the attention she once had. Unlike Hillary, she doesn’t even have a career she can be proud of. I won’t even mention children.

    I’m sure she massages her ego and vanity by feeling superior to Hillary because of Bill’s indiscretions. But the nature of intimacy and relationships leave people vulnerable to human fraility. At the end of her life, she’ll have no one who will care one iota about her mean-spiritedness and she’ll wish she had even a cheating spouse who was at least a caring companion and true friend.

    What burns me is that people get paid lucrative sums to be so shitty.

    There’s something wrong with that and it’s not helping our society one bit.

    I accidentally posted these comments under the wrong blog subject, so I’m posting them again here where they belong:

    There was someone else at that table. His name is God. And God had the last word, not those “experts”.

    Tim is dead. The life of the emperor of the reporters was taken from him by God. God had the last say – and He agrees with the Clintons…
    only it’s not the voters who were sexist… it was the reporters and their pretend experts.

    Tim didn’t get to see the reporters’ messiah get coronated. Let that be a lesson for the other reporters of how God judged their prejudice, their influence peddling, their interference and saboutage of a democracy to satisfy their greed for ratings, their expressed resentment and hatred and belittlement of women.

    Tim no longer served God’s purpose. And if the best reporter failed Him, and was no longer needed or trusted to reveal truth on earth, imagine how useless He thinks the others are.

    The reporters and their experts say that there was no crime committed by them? The least guilty of them got the death penalty. I’d say that the judgement of God prevailed, despite all their rationalizations of innocence.

    Here are a couple of choices for VP for Hillary:

    1. U.S. Senator Evan Bayh

    Bayh was elected in 1988 to the first of two terms as Governor of Indiana, where he established the state as one of the strongest, most financially secure economies in the nation. Stressing fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, job creation and lean government, Bayh’s list of achievements include: eight years without raising taxes; the greatest single tax cut and largest budget surplus in state history; more than 350,000 new jobs; tougher laws on crime; and improved environmental quality.

    Senator Bayh’s signature legislative efforts are aimed at strengthening our national security, creating more jobs through the growth of small businesses, protecting American workers from unfair trade practices, providing tax-relief for families struggling with the rising costs of college. Bayh has taken the lead in providing our troops with the armored vehicles they need and has visited Iraq and Afghanistan several times for a first-hand look at the progress on-the-ground. He has also led the fight to cut through the mire of bureaucracy to ensure our nation’s wounded soldiers receive the high quality care they need and deserve.

    2. Govenor Jim Doyle of Wisconsin

    When he took office in 2003, Governor Doyle inherited the largest budget deficit in Wisconsin history – a $3.2 billion hole. By making deep and often difficult cuts in state government, he was able to balance the budget without hurting priorities like education and without raising taxes.

    Governor Doyle’s parents were founding members of the modern Democratic Party in Wisconsin and he credits them for instilling in him the belief that politics and government are honorable professions, and that public service is a way to improve people’s lives.

    Governor Doyle attended Stanford University for three years, then finished his senior year at UW-Madison. He is a 1972 graduate of Harvard Law School. Inspired by John F. Kennedy’s call to public service, after college the Governor and First Lady worked for two years as teachers in Tunisia, Africa in the Peace Corps. After he graduated from law school, the Governor and First Lady moved to the Navajo Indian Reservation in Chinle, Arizona to work as an attorney and teacher, respectively.

    He was elected as Wisconsin’s Governor in 2002 and reelected in 2006 with more votes than any candidate for Governor in Wisconsin history.

    What does eveyone think of these candidates for Vice President under our President Hillary Clinton?
    Any other suggestions for VP? This is fun and meaningful too.

    That was a mouthful, mimi. Have felt that way since Reagan took office…definitely since the first time I heard Lardass Limbaugh.

    Wow! I could only make it through about one third of that video. Val, I think Dowd knows on some level she can only continue her career if she hatchet job on Hillary. There is a post down thread from mimi and I agree with her sentiments re. Russert and Dowd. Ten years from now, they will be forgotten by everyone except, maybe, their families. They will not even be a footnote in history books because they are recognized for being exactly who they are/were. They have never taken a chance or gone out on a limb for truth. Edward R. Murrow will be remembered forever in journalism schools as someone who put his life on the line by telling the truth and, then, everyone saw it (like the naked emperor) and ended the reign of terror of Joe McCarthy. Walter Cronkite saw the truth of Vietnam and had the courage to speak out. Nothing and no one disgusts me, however, in the media as much as K. Olbermann because he dares to invoke the name of a courageous man at the end of every show and I wouldn’t watch again if it were the only news show on. Mathews spits, literally, in everyone’s face and pretends to be an honorable man all the while surrounding himself with people who agree with his point of view and deriding anyone who dares to question his veracity and mania. This election has clearly demonstrated the lack of free and objective press in this country and everyone needs to pay attention now and through whatever means they can, boycott these programs and their advertizers until they are forced off the air.
