Keith Olberman the NEW Edward R. Murrow

[aoxamaxoa]

Do you think Olberman will again point out that the Condi Rice coverup of being forwarned by the CIA prior to 9/11 is taking a back seat to the page scandal?

[iplaw]

Old news.  We already knew about the PBD.  No one knew that what happened on 9/11 was coming.  We knew terrorists wanted to strike the US mainland...duh...but to extrapolate that into foreknowledge of 9/11...

That's why no one cares about the story other Slobbermann.

I bet he won't bother to interview  Michael Sheuer who was the head of Alec Station who said that Bubba is a liar...as if we didn't know already.

Well, if Bush had such bad advisers, Conan, why doesn't he fire them?

Hubris. It's impossible for Bush to ever admit that he made a mistake about anything and firing them would be a tacit admission that he appointed a pack of idiots.

Of course, having idiots for advisers doesn't let him off the hook for taking their advice.

Bill Maher was great last night. Richard Clarke, Robin Williams, and John Kerry.

All you repugs should watch it to raise your blood preasure. Dems will find it hilarious. It airs on HBO several times this week. Don't miss it.

"Since that first commentary, Olbermann's nightly audience has increased 69 percent, according to Nielsen Media Research. This past Monday 834,000 people tuned in, virtually double his season average and more than CNN competitors Paula Zahn and Nancy Grace. Cable kingpin and Olbermann nemesis Bill O'Reilly (two million viewers that night) stands in his way."

HEH HEH .... that is strong.

I bet KO covers this shameful Bush policy....


http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/10/08/bush_brings_faith_to_foreign_aid/

"For decades, US policy has sought to avoid intermingling government programs and religious proselytizing. The aim is both to abide by the Constitution's prohibition against a state religion and to ensure that aid recipients don't forgo assistance because they don't share the religion of the provider."

I have several problems with that whole Faith Base Initiative thing. Aside from questions about its constitutionality, it creates problems in dealing with OTHER religion based governments. In a way, it kind of turns our invasion and occupation of Afghanistan from a security matter into a New Crusade (at least in the eyes of many, I suspect).

[Conan71]

"Faith-based initiatives" originally sounded like a good concept.  The idea, as I understood it, was to try to shift charity back to the private sector like it used to be prior to the Great Depression and take some of that function away from government.

I'm disappointed though it appears it's just become another venue for the government to quietly filter tax dollars into and a way to appease the far-right Christian element of the GOP.  It definitely blurs the separation line between church and state.

Okay, trying to keep an open mind, I finally got to catch J.O.'s schtick last night.  

He went after ABC about two of their producers driving around with John Mark Karr in a limo and taking him to a school he used to work at because they were going to interview him for GMA.  Then he lampooned Diane Sawyer for teasing the public for two weeks that Clay Aiken was going to "come out" in an exclusive interview with Ms. Sawyer.

Is anyone starting to see a pattern here?  ABC took an accused pedophile, who ostensibly is only walking around free right now because prosecutors lost their evidence, to a school where he was relieved of his duties for suspect behavior.

They try to go into the details of a celebrity's private life and insinuate he's gay when he obviously doesn't think it's anyone's business.

So how much credibility does the Foley story have now?  It appears to be nothing more than a sexual harrassment issue at this point.

I just find it interesting that J.O. is willing to cast dispersions on ABC's journalistic judgement and neglects to mention anything about Brian Ross sitting on the Foley story for at least a month or longer until, by odd coincidence, the timing became more politically expedient to blast the story out.
