What a bunch of nimrods!

Some in the media had a field day with a report by a gossip columnist claiming that Rahm Emanuel spoke to Blago and his staff on 21 separate occasions about filling Barack Obama's senate seat, and that each conversation was recorded by FBI wiretaps.

Only one problem: the report was the work of fantasy, fit for a Grisham or Turow novel, but not for the airwaves. As it turns out, Rahm only spoke to Blago once, and it didn't focus on the Senate seat. He spoke to Blago's Chief of Staff four times, and in those conversations did nothing improper.

1. The magic number is 21.

21 conversations, 21 hours, 21 minutes.

Did not Sean say 21 hours?. Sean sure has a way of stretching the lies of other people.

2. to label Michael Sneed of the Suntimes a

"gossip columnist" is to insult the fine profession of gossipers around the world. She is not only vacuous, insipid, typically in error, she also seems to be a pretty obvious prostitute. The Rich and Famous have their PR staff drop notes to her regularly, and she dutifully reports what she is told, assuming that the price is right.

She lied repeatedly about Obama, thinks that Palin walks on water, and makes shit up routinely.

MAKE THEM IRRELEVANT

6. The Right Wing

Media, the propaganda machine, the US' Pravada needs some serious attitude adjustment. If there was true justice in this country, everyone of their noses would grow an inch everytime they spewed their lies.

One more reason I haven't watched a national tv news report in almost 8 years.

7. It never ceases to amaze me how the right wing media can accumulate

so much evidence against a Democrat for something that didn't even happen, yet can't muster the balls to find any evidence against the many crimes the Bush cadre of corruption has perpetrated the past 8 years.
