It's not like being a professor is mutually exclusive with being moronic. Prof. Smith needs to grow up and realize that stamping his feet about his qualifications is not in itself convincing.

Oh my, you sing it brother, and I'll turn the pages. The good professor seems not to realize that the readership here is teeming with those who either have tons of alphabet soup after their own names, and/or who are highly insightful autodidacts.

Professor, you'd best be about examining the actual points Greenwald made, rather than spewing ad hominems and pitching a hissy fit. As an (adult) faculty brat, I can assure you that your credentials here, merci a dieu, mean exactly *nothing.* Substance reigns.

Very truly -- and well-credentialed, and whose mommy and daddy both have journalism degrees, one of whom holds a Ph.D. and taught with other infantile egomaniacs at a university -- yours,

Purely hypothetical, but if King had conducted a "real" interview that had exposed some wrongdoing and CNN editors kept it in and CNN broadcast it, who would take responsibility for the story? It is absurd to think that Glenn should have based his critique on anything other than the final product aired. The piece essentially has King's name on it. It is and was King's story, King's responsibility. If King actually asked "real" questions that were edited out, his beef is with his editors and CNN, not Glenn.

Glenn assumed that the broadcast portion was the entire interview and, based on the footage, he may have been right to do so

The 'broadcast portion' is what was presented to the public, and therefore all that matters.

You're trying to dance around that fact, and clumsily at that.

You're also attempting to base an argument on evidence you don't have.

Keep digging. We find this amusing.

You sensitive?

Hm. Surprises me too.

You need to put on a cup?

Without going into detail, it's on now and properly fitted.

Laila tov, Friend.

Judging from who seems behind an effort to keep Nevada union members from having time to caucus, I think Hillary learned from Chicago style politics while growing up in the nearby suburb of Park Ridge.

Court case could alter Nev. outcome

By KATHLEEN HENNESSEY, Associated Press Writer 21 minutes ago

LAS VEGAS - A last-minute federal court battle over caucus rules demonstrates just how important a tight three-way Democratic presidential contest in Nevada has become in the battle for momentum headed into Super Tuesday's votes.

At issue in a federal court hearing Thursday is whether Democratic caucuses will be held in nine casinos along the Las Vegas Strip. The special locations were designed to make it easier for housekeepers, waitresses and bellhops in the state's biggest industry to caucus at midday near their jobs rather than returning home to neighborhood precincts.

The rules were unanimously approved by the state Democratic party last March and ratified by the Democratic National Committee in August.

But last Friday, six Democrats and a teachers union, which has ties to the Clinton campaign, sued to shut the sites on grounds they allocate too many delegates to one group. Of roughly 10,000 delegates to Nevada's presidential nominating convention, more than 700 could be selected at casino caucuses, depending upon turnout, which could make them more valuable than some sparsely populated Nevada counties, the lawsuit said. Four plaintiffs are on the committee that approved the sites.

The DNC petitioned to join the suit on behalf of the state party Tuesday.

The Clinton campaign has denied any involvement in the lawsuit, but Obama noted it was filed two days after he was endorsed by the powerful Culinary Workers Union Local 226, which has organized many workers along the Strip. The union is the state's largest with 60,000 members, more than 40 percent Hispanic.

The Illinois senator drew cheers at a Culinary Union event Sunday when he said the rules were fine until the union decided, "I'm going to support the guy who's standing with the working people instead of the big shots."

By Monday, Bill Clinton was defending the lawsuit. "I think the rules ought to be the same for everybody," the former president told high school students near Las Vegas.

It doesn't take any great insight to see that we're getting bullshitted because we get bullshitted all the time. And we're fed up with getting lied to.

They're not even good lies. Most of them are just reruns. And they do so much of it they have to give up on quality just to make production. It's turned into just a job for a lot of these guys, and it shows. Quality right-wing propaganda requires a certain passion, and it can't be easy to maintain that level of sociopathy long-term.

"Since the site suggests you have law training, maybe you forgot that good lawyers to a little research before they spit out words."

Is this guy kidding, or what? How many political nonfiction bestsellers has King had published? "You obviously no little about the princely profession of 'JOURNALISM!'" he says. So he's a "journalist." The other morning I was watching "Morning Joe" (just channel-surfing) and Scarborough called himself a "journalist." Great company Mr. King is in, huh? Neither of them would know a real journalist if they were bit by one on the butt. Whatever happened to the glory days of "All the President's Men," when real jounalists found it their duty to uncover the TRUTH, rather that kiss politicos' butts?

The indignation King showed to you is often almost verbatim of the "drivel" I get formt he likes of Kos and FireDogLake. Of course I have not been on Kos for almost two year, just does not pay off. These MainStreamBloggers have cult followers that like sharks attack anyone who challenges their precious.

Not you. If anyone were to see you on C-SPAN address issues, certainly would not question that you are a lawyer. But you also have a cult like following that is a bit less rabid that the MSB trolls.

You see we are all human and have egos. It takes quite a bit of ego to produce a blog that people actually read (unlike mine). That ego needs to be kept in check. The bloggers were supposed to do that for the MSM, but now we need a new blogging class to puncture the egos of the MSB.

In fact, the MSB are really more over the top because there is less accountability. If you criticise you are deleted. I know, I take pride that FDL, Kos, and Huffington Post all delete me. I just go to my unread blogs and repeat what they deleted. One day it will all come round, and someone has to read those comments to know to delete them.

Ah me, what it is to be human.
