And WHY is Norquist on my tv so consistently? That tells me a LOT
about the cable newz. Ugh.
And I have a bone to pick w/the woman from the Hill, AB Stoddard. My roomies watch faux, and she's on there often. To see her on anything else makes my blood boil. :grr:

3. He caved, not Pres. Obama. The Koch Bros. must've called him in a panic.

12. And doesn't she have an inflated sense of her own importance!
Noonan, I mean!

Her worship of Saint Ronnie borders on the perverse. I have a feeling Nancy Reagan didn't care for that woman drooling all over her husband!

Creepy woman, that Peggy.

5. Amy Stoddard used to work for The Hill and never had a bad word to say about BushCo for 8 years.

9. This I know; she's a rethug for sure, but tries to portray herself
differently. When I see her on faux...:nuke: Ugh. I know better now.

14. Yes, it read like a state-sponsored rag. She set the tone as senior editor.
BTW, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good candidate to challenge Brown. I hope it's Warren because I'd love for her to run for president in 2016 but I understand she has to raise her local profile. Let's see if she even wants to run first.

Edited to add;
Norquist, "One of the most powerful men in Washington"

CNN: Who is Grover Norquist?

16. Because...maybe if Obama had appointed a more Partisan FCC Head...he could get some air time
for his OWN spokespersons. Oh...wait... WHO ARE Obama's Spokespersons? So far I see Donna Brazille, a nice young Gal on MSNBC and Steve MacMahon a DLC HACK.

SO...where was the OFA and Obama's supporters "Center for American Progress" and the "DLC, Third Way and New Democrats?"

Why is it that the Sunday Morning "Talking Heads" still have disproportionate number of Repugs to Democrats on there?

What's changed since Bush? Just more fighting and obfuscation ...but with the Left Wing of Democratic Party Silence by throwing them under the bus to shut them up.

:grr:
