She was the sham "Independent" on the Civil Rights Commission. (The "Independent" who had donated to the Clinton senatorial campaign and who was well to the left of most of the Democrat Commissioners.)

1) It must feel good for Rove to not have to hide his relationship anymore, and...

2) Yes, Elephantman, it is different. CNN, ABC, etc., are actually NEWS programs that do a fairly reasonable job (at best) at presenting both sides. FOX is 100% propaganda for right-wing loonies.

With all of the right-wing rhetoric at FOX, presented by bleach blonde bimbos in short skirts, tell me; does it feel really strange to feel that much hate while having a hard-on? I guess after a while, venomous diatribe and sexual arousal all blend together....

Why do you all complain about Fox News? You're not paying for it. No public funds support it. No state universities are hosting Fox stations. Nobody gets tax deductions for making pledges to Fox News.

And yet the left-wing NPR enjoys all of those public perks.

You don't have to watch Fox News and you don't have to pay for it. Fox isn't public broadcasting. The right has so much more to complain about in MSM politics.

Kaufman would have no trouble tolerating rough language if it came from a hip-hop-loving NBA player. And he'd probably find it easy to accept some emotional outburst if it involved some deprived inner-city all-stater.

So I think I'll devote the rest of 2008 to checking on how King Kaufman applies the Bob Knight behavioral test to others in sports.

And, of course, the Romney number was what led to a smirky "War Room" entry about Romney's dollar-per-delegate ratio. Just about three stories down from this one.

Isn't it amazing how quickly the Clintons have made not just a small fortune but quite a large fortune in less than eight years out of public office?

What a dick...

I freaking hate Bob Knight. I can't say it any plainer, and I'm ashamed to make such a blanket statement of antipathy. I fucking hate him, I have for years, and hell, I hate the state of Indiana in general although I know that is totally unfair to say. I blame him.

Fuck you, Bob.

I doubt that serge's record as a head coach is as good a Coach Knight's.

Again, I am surprised that none of the Salon readership is honest enought to say what is really on their minds; that Knight is the perfect hate-object because he is a conservative Republican white male.

When I read the title of this article, I instantly said to myself, "Why are they bothering? The perfect Salon candidate on the issues is Dennis Kucinich!" Then I read the text. Like reading The Onion...

The part that is freaking me out is that Obama is all but 1% of a Kucinich! So have I got this right -- Obama encompasses nearly all of Kucinich's far-left liberalism, without the gritty, midwestern Eastern European immigrant populism... right? Instead, Obama represents the vast demographic of, what, biracial Hawaiians?

So you're going to nominate Barack Hussein Obama for President of the United States, Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces?

-- What's that, you say? It was David Schuster, an MSNBC anchor? You mean, Fox News had nothing to do with this?

Oh. Nevermind.

I'm going to start with Keith Olbermann. And then, continue my protest all the way through Keith Olbermann, to the end of Keith Olbermann.

Can you just freaking imagine Olbermann's manufactured outrage if this dumb comment had been uttered by someone at Fox News?

What are the odds? I'm not betting on win, place or show. That race is fixed.

But I'm still trying to picture what the same feminist leadership would have said if a Fox anchor had said the same thing.

...but then again, most American voters don't have a lot of confidence in fighting al Qaeda with armies of lawyers steeped in the traditions of the ACLU.

I remember the same kind of thing occurring on NPR's "Fresh Air" with host Terry Gross. Her guest was Ron Suskind, who was on the usual NPR book tour for his book "The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House and the Education of Paul O'Neill." (Every one of Suskind's books earns him a standardized travelogue of NPR shows, from Terry Gross to Diane Rehm to All Things Considered to Amy Goodman, etc., etc., etc. Such that any one of the relaible left-wing authors that NPR favors can often get the benefit of three-four or more shots at the Public Radio audience.)

Anyway, Terry Gross had a bonus for her interview with the Bush-hating Mr. Suskind. Suskind was joined by former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, and in the course of the interview, Terry Gross tried to get O'Neill to agree with some of the harshest criticism of Bush that she was imagining from Suskind's book. But even O'Neill wasn't biting, it was such an embarassingly slanted and ideology-driven interview. Hard questions for Suskind? Forget about it.

And yet NPR masquerades as real journalism, right, Glenn?

Don't believe me? Here's the link to the story.

Glenn, the interview was on Fox -- the network not the cable channel.

It's called "Fox News Sunday" but it airs on Fox.

I'm therefore not sure I agree that this propaganda has a right to be broadcast on our airwaves. Unlike basic cable, this is not subscription based and should therefore be subject to public regulation (since it's provided free on our airwaves)

You don't want freedom, or a free press. You want a government-controlled press. I presume that would probably be in keeping with desires for a government-controlled health care system, a government-controlled education system, and a government-controlled economy.
