Nothing else. Just that.
I wonder how he'll comment on that tomorrow. My condolences to the entire family, she sounded like a really nice, genuine person.
But I'm betting the would lose money if they did went even more Right. Who do they want to be, FOX?
Hate to tell you, but the accent was legit. It was Quebecois, but legit.
Even if you give her a mulligan on just about everything that was said in the conversation (and there were lots of things that should have made her realize something was up - I mean, Nailin' Pailin?) how the hell does she not know who the Prime Minister of Canada is? The country she really CAN see from Alaska? America's biggest trading partner?
Stupid, incompetent woman.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to be repeating thoe stories all week. I thought you were remarkably polite to that woman.
Wolfmason, have you heard that Obama is actually a were-hyena? That african blood, you know. Can't trust it.
If the MSM gets increased viewership, and therefore ad revenue, from having "sxclusive" stories, is some kind of lawsuit viable? I'm pretty sure it's money that's behind this attitude.
I'm not sure anything would upset Chuck D as much as anybody belly-dancing to P. E.
At least this isn't the same Lakers - Celtics article everybody else is writing. And hey, it could happen.
These people are embarrassing. For anybody who cares about the state of journalism, or what the profession should be, the way many reporters behave is like continually being punched in the stomach.
Should we call him Kenneth the Carpet-bomber?
This guy must have a hole where his soul is supposed to be. I'm not too sure what he's using in his head for brains either; I couldn't believe some of the answers he gave you. Long-term bombing, because of Iran's aggression, of course. We have to stop them from waging war by...waging war. The illogic makes my head hurt.
Of course, these people need Iran as villains, because they've got oil, and Americans are used to thinking of them in that role. If "W" was a different man, they'd probably be US allies right now...they made some overtures after 911. For sure, relations could easily be better, but that wouldn't sell more missiles, would it?
Really good interview Glenn. I feel worse hearing it, knowing that someone like this can get people who matter to listen to his ravings, but it's better to know.
What do you mean, "could" get dirty? You don't actually think the last two elections have been valid, do you?
This, or any other, race-based analysis only applies to minorities. White people are assumed to, you know, think.
I think the craziest of the Republicans keep hoping the "liberal" line in the sand keeps getting pushed so far right that they don't look so bat-shit crazy anymore.
I needed the laugh. Good job, and your point is taken.
I love the smell of desperation in the morning.
If they were a news organization. Since they aren't, well, I'm sure Judith has to eat to.
What I said to OhioP goes for you too. Take that feeble, annoying diatribe somewhere else.
Here's a question you could have asked him, Joan: "does that mean that every white person who's endorsed McCain did that because he's white too?"
I don't think these people even realize how offensive that is.
As is every endorsement McCain has picked up from white people, right?
Go home, you racist troll.
That pucklady woman...I don't even want to start the stream of expletives that comment made me shout. She doesn't get to talk about Dr. King, period. That may have been, in it's way, the most reprehensible comment I've seen today. Of course, now that I've said that, someone's gonna try to top it...
It's not a bad day here. I think I'll catch some fresh air.
Of COURSE it's about racism. What else were they gonna come back with? Their tame black guy bucked against his masters, and now they're gonna have a conniption fit - that's pretty much the way they're looking at this. You think Colin didn't know this was gonna happen?
The second Powell ever became less than useful, the comments were gonna start. What else would you expect of a party that's been pandering to racists for decades?
I think the comments by Powell were a bit late, but were very well said. It's one of the best endorsements I've heard, in particular the points that Glenn is writing about. That said, whether you think Powell is a war criminal, a sell-out, whatever, there's no doubt in my mind that a lot of soft Republicans will at least consider what he says. I think many military families will consider what he says. The endorsement is useful for that alone, if nothing else.
Oh, and to the people saying "well, of course the black guy is gonna endorse the white guy?" Some other day, when I feel like writing more, or have more time, I'll really tell you what's wrong with that argument. For now, I'll just thank you for my daily dose of racist speak, you racists.
Ta.
The reason to vote early is to try and make sure, as much as possible, that they don't steal the vote. That's the issue, more than anything else. Get them in and counted.
Yeah, I think he is. At least, that's what he said at the debate. While he didn't seem to want to claim some of the more violent statements, he's done nothing about the stuff his running mate has been saying, so I think he's got to take ownership of the entire package.
Sherrie, that beat-down was awesome. I'll bet RR doesn't want to have anything to do with answering that, and why would he? He's not real big on answers anyway.
That's the post that needed writing. I hope people pay attention.
