ignore him
is that none of these clowns even say a word about Senator David "Diapers" Vitter. Wasn't he caught using a prostitution service? Oh, that's right!! They can only get outraged at Democrats. Even though Democrats don't go around talking nonsense about family values and all the rest of their hypocritical BS.
which is silly .. because BillO would never ask about Gannon ... then again ... I doubt anyone from the Big Four(ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN) would bring it up either .. so Fleischer has just further outed himself as a fraud ... I bet Fleischer wouldn't try that stunt on Olbermann or Maddow ... because they'd ask him about Gannon
Glenn:
re: Fred Hiatt, Tom Friedman, David Ignatius, Maureen Dowd and Nedra Pickler(Don't forget Nedra's soulmate, Liz "Sprinkles" Sidoti). Maybe you know how to get ahold of these five but I bet most of your readers don't. On the other hand, it is pretty simple to get ahold of AMC(whether she replies to you is another matter). If you contacted AMC when she worked at time, it was fairly simple to figure out what Jay Carney & Joe Klein's email addresses were/are. I have received a few replies from Klein. Some nice, so not so. I suppose it is even pretty simple to get ahold of "The Shrill One", since he works at a prestigious university. The point being, the five above don't do anyone any favors in trying to hold them accountable. Was it Friedman or Brooks who said they'll only answer readers questions if it was sent typed via snail mail? Do George Will or Charles Krauthammer read the email readers send them? Doubt it. They are too good for it. A lot of columnists are too good to interact with their readers.
someone like Al Giordano .. he thinks any critique of Obama is unfair .. and that we all should continually sing his praises no matter what happens .. in fact .. he called Glenn out yesterday because Glenn is not cheerleading sufficiently enough
You are right ... I don't know enough about Al to know why he is repeating the sins of the other side(meaning the blind worship) .. just look at the leaks of the new "Geithner Plan" ... it looks like the taxpayer is taking all the risk ... how is that any good? And we shouldn't dare complain if it stinks? Al needs to chill .. because no one here(except maybe Shooter) wants to see Obama fail ... I know I am afraid he(or his appointees) is too beholden to Wall Street
who'd take on Giordano ... the guy is so full of himself .. it is not funny .. it's like he didn't learn anything during the 8 years of BushCo
as Spencer points out:

We haven't heard much about them at all. Tell Jake Tapper to get on it!!
remember last year ... the night of the New Hampshire primaries ... she "wrote" a story bylined Derry, NH ... about the Hillary Clinton victory party that night ... yet it turns out .. she was in Jerusalem(Yes, Israel) at the time ... so as it turned out .. someone else was ghost writing her column for her ... I bet that's not the only time ... though it has been the only time she was caught .. I wonder if this might have been the case yesterday as well .. it doesn't change the fact that she's a dirt ball though
It's not just health care ... it's DADT .. it's repealing DOMA ... I could go on and on .. hell .. if the Blue Dogs bend over like this for Obama .. why not Single Payer health care? .. or financial/banking reform... but the list is endless of course
As for Sotomayor, the Court's 5-4 decision today ought to put an end to the attempt to use Ricci to depict her as being somehow out of the judicial mainstream and thus unfit for the Court.
I don't have to go very far already .. to see the glee in wing-nut land that a Sotomayor decision was overturned
Everyone should watch his latest PBS show ... he really does take Obama to task for not living up to his campaign promises .. especially health care
"the interwebs"? ... he sure has thin skin ... and Brokaw .. for all his bleating about his dad being an FDR Democrat .. is nothing but another idiot who thinks the 50's were the idyllic time in America ... ugh!!!
what is sad .. is that Harold Ford, Jr. is the present head of the DLC .. and he's on there to represent all Democrats .. and he is nothing of the sort .. he's a right-wing DINO .. if you remember 2006 .. he was trying to run to the right of Corker .. thinking he could win that way .. he's a big tool .. he also had the stones to try and challenge Pelosi to be Minority Leader back in 2004 .. needless to say .. one .. he hadn't been in the House that long .. and two .. he got smoked badly)
you missed my point .. my point is .. is that the DLC is the furthest left allowed on TV .. so in essence .. for Gregory's dog and pony show .. Ford is the liberal on that panel .. and that's a problem ... because Ford isn't a liberal .. he's a DINO .. he's a better fit with J.C. Watts and Michael Steele
MY is just a DLC Democrat .. he's not as committed to the cause or have you noticed Ezra Klein? .. He's become an Obama mouth piece .. because now he has access .. sad really
