Imus just called Potato Boy the "Edward R. Murrow" of our generation

[Gabi Hayes]

says he was SO brave to even discuss the thimerasol question, then...this is the BEST part, says fatso NEVER takes a position on anything

he then went on to disparage one of the two people interviewed (I'm guessing the doctor who says there's a thimerasol/autism link)

anyway, I'm still laughing at the the header quote.

Ed Murrow is reaching for the rollbar in his casket as I type

Imus, get your tongue out of Fatbough's bad place, and reach around for a CLUE!

and while your ad it, start subscribing to the Daily Howler

1. Who's potato boy? n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

2. Russert....they're talking about Judy Miller now

taping, not listening

3. Imus is a veggie too!

The only good thing about Imus, is that you can turn off the TV and shut him up! Should be the anchor man on the Animal Channel morning show!

4. Id say it would be Bill Moyers

[Gabi Hayes]

5. except for the fact that he doesn't/didn't have anything approaching

Murrow's exposure

AFA bona fides, I can't think of anyone of his stature who comes close

and I doubt whether anybody of his persuasion will EVER be allowed even the platform he was given

we've seen the death of investigative journalism since Reagan took over in his Iran Hostage Coup

6. Im not talking about exposure

Im talking about integrity.

[Gabi Hayes]

7. agreed. I was thinking in terms of influence, affect, etc.

ever see his interviews?

best thing I may have ever seen was the ones he did with Carlos Fuentes

[Lannes]

8. No havent had the pleasure of seeing that one.

Ive only seen a handful of his interviews a ways back,before my time.But you've got me interested in going back and looking at some again.
