THE MESS

THE NEW BUSH BUMPER STICKERS

Compassionate Conservative - WHAT'S THAT?

THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE REPUBLICAN DICTIONARY:

W is for Waterboarding - George Bush's middle name.

4,000 SOLDIERS HAVE NOW DIED IN IRAQ

A few more details about the Obama passport breach. According to a new piece out in the Post from Glenn Kessler, the breaches occurred Jan. 9th, Feb. 21st and March 14th.

That would be the day after the New Hampshire primary, the day of the Democratic debate in Texas and the day the Wright story really hit.

OH CRAP I GOT SOME GOOD NEWS AND SOME BAD NEWS. . . -- Former SLA member Sarah Jane Olson was mistakenly freed a year early from prison Monday, and is back in custody.

EXPANDING A LITTLE ON MY POST FROM YESTERDAY

I watched CNN'S Reliable Sources yesterday and they did a segment on the Rev Wright dustup. Did you see a Sunday show that didn't do at least one segment on this. I sure didn't.

I was so impressed with one guest Eric Deggans that I sent him an email to tell him what a great job he did on the show. See below.

What I don't get is that these SO CALLED JOURNALISTS don't even seem to do BASIC let alone investigative reporting. It would have only taken about $9.95 for them to buy the CD and listen to the full speech. My god that might mean they where doing there job.

By the way when you can see that a 4 minute video clip has been put together by using 11 different sermons don't you think that that is just WAY TOMUCH CREATIVE EDITING.

Here is Mr. Deggans web site: Click to visit his site.

Hi Mr. Deggans,

I saw you on Reliable Sources this morning and I was so impressed with your response to all this "CRAP" (excuse my French) about what Rev. Jeremiah Wright said in his church. Honestly, it brought tears to my eyes.

I'm a 71 year old white guy that supports Barack Obama. I'm retired but I manage to send his campaign $25 per month, so it's not just talk for me.

I thought that back a year or so ago we would see an honest discussion about race in America when Don Imus made his stupid remarks about that woman's basketball team. I saw a number of new faces on TV that I thought would add a new and different perspective to this issue. It didn't happen.

Cable TV can follow a car chase in southern California for several hours without breaking for a commercial. On this issue it's over in about 8 minutes and then we are off to see what Paris Hilton or Britney Spears are up to.

Today for the FIRST TIME on TV you where able to bring a little background and context to this discussion. It's funny because on my blog (www.thebscorner.com) just this morning my post was on this very "CHICKEN COMING HOME TO ROOST" comment that I saw on The Huffington Post. It provides a YouTube video that is about 17 minutes long that gives that context you talked about.

Just this morning I saw another YouTube video that is 4:14 minutes long that puts this clips together. I counted what Rev. Wright was wearing and there was 11 changes of clothes, remember the total video was 4:14 minutes long. So every 23 seconds on average is the time they used his words from different speeches. There were also some seven obvious splices so it's impossible to know what kind of "CREATIVE EDITING" was done.

I fully understand the agenda of the right wing nut jobs, but don't get why the Main Stream Media don't provide just a little context to this kind of stuff. It's not like the video wasn't available. I guess it's just to much work when they have a sound bite they can use.

This is the first time I've seen you on TV and hope they will use you more. It's important to hear the truth and to see someone stand up to these lies.

Sincerely,

Mick Horan

Bremerton, Wa.

ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION

Also on that Reliable Sources program they had right-wing tool Michael Medved on and Howard Kurtz asked him a very specific question which was. "Why didn't the journalists seek to do any investigative reporting."

So what does Medved do he says "That's a complicated question"

Is he nuts? What's complicated about that question? They simply didn't do their job.

Then he says "Obama is trying to change the subject."

Did he even listen to the Obama speech? Doesn't sound like it.

So why can't he just answer the damn question?

BUSHED

Keith Olbermann has listed the various scandles in the Bush administration. Here are three more.

Libby disbarred. Bushed! A three-judge D.C. Court of Appeals panel has disbarred I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby for his conviction on obstructing the investigation into the administration's outing of Valerie Plame. President Bush cannot reinstate him.

WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD

Keith Olbermann picks the three worst persons in the world.

FoxNews.com hate speech. There's a string of user comments on FoxNews.com relating Barack Obama to the Black Panthers. The site, which is moderated, has some hate-filled language. But can we expect another Bill O'Reilly tirade?
