KUDOS to NBC Nightly News w/Brian Williams: Spoke the TRUTH about Pelosi Plane last night.
Sorry if this was posted last night - but did anybody see it? Brian Williams explained in detail what's going on. He spoke the truth that it wasn't Pelosi HERSELF asking for this larger plane, it was the house seargant at arms arranging it.

Anyway, Williams did a great job speaking the truth on this really, really petty issue care of the Repubs desperate for any crumb of potential controversy (yet if they can't find it they'll make something up as in this case).

10. Eh
At the opening ceremonies for the Olympics, Williams introduced the Iranian team by rattling off a laundry list of reasons we need to attack their country. Not a word about the athletes.

His comment on the Pelosi plane "controversy" was a no-brainer to demonstrate his supposed impartiality.

2. Yup.
Think about it--they had to dig this deep to find anything to criticize about Pelosi. (It must be a desperate feeling).

3. Yeah but he reported that it was a "just released statement" by the Sgt. at arms
when in fact that has been the truth the whole time.

Still good for him.

4. Yes He Did

In clear, concise language. Brian said (in my words)

This is much about nothing by a bunch of minority party whiners who obviously care nothing about factual data. He also implied (as I interpreted it) that all you ignorant trash which support everything bush and his kind do, this is another example of them feeding your insatiable appetite for more ignorance.

I truly enjoy Brian's subtle ways (most of the time.)

He also kicked some ass with the North Korean Nuke story.

and this was not a liberal story or a conservative story. It was the truth (ergo labeled by ignorant trash as liberal.) Isn't that ironic?

6. notice no matter what the repubs whine about or purposfully distort the
media obediantly air it. When the dems complain about real issues facing the American people the media yawn and ignore us.

7. This is just more grist for the mill. Let the GOPigs bring it on-er.

If this is the best they can do then '08 is lost for them in more ways than they can imagine.

9. The trouble is when the lies start to stick and the media will help the repubs whenever
they can to make the lies stick. Swift boating etc....

13. The 06 election has shown that the people are fed up..press be damned.

If the GOPigs and the press stick to business as usual then they are toast.

8. And he did it before the story about Anna Nicole Smith
Which was a nice touch because people who were waiting to hear about Anna were exposed to the truth.
