1. Dems are IN! Stop censorship now!

K&R! :kick:

[Lautremont]

2. Hmm...

A) The conspiratorial, mutually-dependent relationship between CNN and Ken Mehlman demands that such speculation be muffled; or

B) CNN has lawyers on staff.

I'll go with B.

4. Really.

[The Count]

3. They are known to get regular phone calls from Cheney

I for one wonder why, the Rummy press conference they all announced was muted today. BY ALL.

5. That bathouse line is hysterical!

[Quantess]

6. That was cool!

The edited clip, I mean. I guess it's too controversial for people to actually hear about hypocrites in government office. And yes, the "bath house" crack was hilarious!

[Ranec]

7. Larry King didn't know Mehlman was gay!

I don't believe that for a second. I knew that and I haven't been in the same bathouses as Maher in a long time.

8. Of course Larry King knew that. Closet-case Ken is the WORST kept

secret in DC. The issue isn't that Closet-case is a gay man, the issue is that he's a FUCKING HYPOCRITE! I wish Closet-case would sue somebody. Let him!!! Do you know how many Queens would line up to testify? Bring it on!

9. not_a_robot

Can't say I'm surprised. I read CNN daily, to see what they are covering and omiting for the republican party.

10. Possible libel

I can see why they bleeped his name. I saw the midnight one, and thought there was something missing. Maher was on fire...Larry looked kinda nervous when they got into the gay thing. But this is all public knowledge in DC. It's almost like saying there are a large number of gay males working at hair salons.
