Allowed Bushco to target and belittle Helen Thomas with no repercussions. Helen Thomas for Chrissakes!

This is all you need to know about these blowhards. They shame themselves each and every day with their cowering, pathetic kowtowing.

It could have all been different. Think about the ‘fun’ the MSM could have had with Bush and his Bushisms if they weren’t so chickenshit.

Will guarantee that MSM will discover their balls as soon as there’s a Dem in the White House.

And you know what it will take to get rid of that ban?

Some rich Republican’s daughter dying at a backstreet abortionist’s hands because she was too afraid of her parents to go tell them when she got pregnant.

There is always a safe way if you have *money*. It’s just women who are not well-connected who will die in allies or be rendered sterile. So sorry for those girls/women who can’t access the money for shame, but the rest of us have next to *no* chance for a safe procedure, no matter how much we grovel.

Time for a change.

Greg Palast is an American investigavtive reporter who has to work for the BBC and The Guardian because no one in the US will touch his stuff.
From his website (GregPalast.com):
“In the new Armed Madhouse: From Baghdad to New Orleans — Sordid Secrets and Strange Tales of a White House Gone Wild you’ll find an America where Republicans sucking on Super-sized Slurpies hunt dark-skinned voters to eliminate their rights; where James Baker’s fixer in alligator boots sets up the grab for Iraq’s oil on her way to the rodeo; where educational testing profiteers terrorize our kiddies (in “No Childs’ Behind Left”); plus, my chat with Hugo Chavez about his coming assassination. AND a killer recipe for fish curry. PLUS scores of illustrations of those intriguing documents marked, ‘confidential’ — by the State Department, World Bank — and Karl Rove.”
Firepups, if your hungry for the good stuff, check him out.

Palast is an EXCELLENT investigative journalist whom I highly recommend also. He knows his stuff and he has the documents to back it up. And, yes, his excellence in his field thrives only because he is allowed to do real reporting in the UK which would be squashed here in the Propaganda States.

and just when you thought some of the blogs were above all of this
The Huffington Enquirer?
The HuffingtonPost is trashing Edwards in a very catty post on their blog today, I was so disappointed that Ms. Huffington is letting her posters take the tabloid tack in the 2008 Presidential campaign. Anyone who reads my posts on the Democratic presidential blog or some of the other campaign blogs like “The Fix” know who I support. But I have very deliberately kept my own personal Presidential campaign loyalties limited when I post here, because I think the dialogue here at FDL typically rises above partisan pandering. I have also depended on the Huff Post, for a long, long, time for a variety of meaningful perspectives. But this Edwards post reeks of personal political propaganda, and I took the Huffpost off my own personal bloglist because I was so disappointed.

I am all for a serious debate about ANY candidate, even the ones I support. But to stopp to criticizing Edwards paying “too much”for his haircuts only ignores the fact there’s at least one poor hairdresser out there who can pay her rent a little easier this month.

One can only speculate (quite easily) “cui bono” from this trash-talk. Did Hillary hire Rove to manage her campaign? Sure seems like it if this is any indicator. Unfortunately, when the people who you thought you can trust to call other people hypocrites become hypocrites, where do we go to find journalists we can trust?

FDL admins, commentors and posters, just a note of thanks for being reliably critical, of all the BS, not just the BS you pick and choose.

Personally, I don’t care what he pays for his haircuts, but I do not think that he should charge these expenses to his campaign.
He’ll come out sometime today and say that whoever did the campaign finance reporting made a mistake as he always pays for his own hairdressing and make-up.

Problem is that there really are “two Americas” and yes, its obvious which one Mr Edwards lives in.

No, I haven’t read the HuffPo report and there are no “poor hairdressers” in Beverly Hills.

160 killed in Baghdad, just another ordinary post Surge day.

The VT shooter was mentally ill and a stalker but still could walk into a shop and buy guns.

Women being segregated from men in public buses; no not Iran but Jerusalem, so Islam has no monopoly on fundamentalism.

Three gunned down for producing bibles in Turkey.

It is truly a mad world, my masters.

Sorry, I was typing too fast….meant:

They would have to tear up the White House beat and re-build it from the agencies back to Pennsylvania Avenue and from the Governors in toward the executive.

…sounds like a plan!

I guess I do have more to say. You are right that they would have to tear up the White House beat and rebuild.

To expect the press to effectively track down the corruption of the White House, the Department of Justice, the FCC in light of the fact that the networks are not/cannot be committed to a free press because of corporate buyouts…WHILE under attack themselves.

Dick Cheney tilted his head when Scooter Libby told him that Russert would be their alibi.
Tilted his head.
