&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rush, I hate to break this to you, but most of American investment in South Africa came while Ronald Reagan was president and while the first George Bush was president they let Mandela out of jail and also, you’re nuts! Comedian Rush Limbaugh, today’s worst person in the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keith is the new Edward R Morrow. He is great.&lt;br /&gt;
BUT. The last half of his show stinks and is a sad waste of valuable news time.&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Mosto ought to be fired. On Aug. 13 he used a blatent racist remark. He said in talking about Paris or some other air head “that was mighty WHITE of him.” It an old white racist comment an is about as vile as the “N”word. Do the right thing Keith. Fire him now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The phrase “that was mighty WHITE of him” comes from Huckleberry Finn. Twain used it with biting irony having Huck say it after Jim risks his life and his freedom to assist Tom. Stupid Little Tom is so imbedded in the racism of his day that his best complement is saying that Jim did something “White”. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn’t see the Mosto comment and the context…but it is now often used to indicate  someone that uses Huck’s patronizing(and clueless)  attitude.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-921198&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kathleen @ 124&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-921191&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;looseheadprop @ 122&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He is actually a brilliant lawyer. Just completely ruthless, remorseless totally cold and unable to see other humans as, well, human.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He is much creepier in person&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chertoff is another dual citizen.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Chertoff&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Chertoff&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are there other officials and Reps who can have dual citizenship in other countries other than dual citizenship in Israel and the U.S.?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why is this o.k?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think Chertoff’s “Israeli Citizenship” is not due to any “act” by him. He has that citizenship because the Israeli government views any descendant of an Israeli as a citizenship. ASFAIK Chertoff hasn’t served in the Israeli Armed Forces, voted in an Israeli election or owned property in Israel. But most ethnic Jews can become citizens of Israel by “right of blood”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s like Obama being born of a male Kenyan citizen allowing him to claim Kenyan citizenship. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Countries have different standards for conferring citizenship status usually based on “jus sanguinus” (right of blood) or “jus soli” (right of soil) conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www..wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_sanguinis&quot;&gt;http://www..wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_sanguinis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That means that some American citizens may technically be inactive “citizens” of a particular other country through descent, while others are citizens of other countries due to their birthplace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only place where the latter restriction is Constitutionally prevented is for the office of President. Immunized US Citizens born abroad (not those who are US citizens through right of blood) cannot serve as President. There is also an odd, and little noticed “residency law”.  Members of Congress are not restricted in such a matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, any one that has served as a member of a foreign government or in their military subsequent to becoming a citizen may be construed as having taken “an affirmative step” ceding their citizenship rights.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Mike McConnell, the Director of National Intelligence making the startling assertion that merely discussing the Bush administration’s wiretapping of Americans will kill Americans. The reporter asked, “so you’re saying that the reporting and the debate in Congress means that some Americans are going to die?” McConnell replied, “that’s what I mean, because we have made it so public. We used to do these things very differently. He then declassified five previously secret details about the wiretap program and told them to the reporter from the El Paso Times. I may be missing something here, but that sure sounds like you have just made it so public.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our runner up. Good old Bill O’Reilly of fixed news. Citing a recent investigative report from all of places, msnbc.com. He told his cable audience, “we know that journalists, most journalists give money to democrats.” No really, no. The report said that most journalists who do give money to political groups give that money to democrats but the report only found 127 American journalists who had given money to democrats out of about 100,000. That would be approximately 1/110th of 1%. As opposed to say, most.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But our winner in an upset, comedian Rush Limbaugh explaining that Americans who want to see their sons and daughters and friends and neighbors brought home from iraq alive are actually racists. “They want to get us out of Iraq but they can’t wait to get us into darfur,” the comedian explained. “What color is the skin of the people in Darfur, he asked? It’s black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting for them if they lose a significant percentage of this voting block they’re in trouble?” Wait, I haven’t got tonight best part. Rush, I hate to break this to you, but most of American investment in South Africa came while Ronald Reagan was president and while the first George Bush was president they let Mandela out of jail and also, you’re nuts! Comedian Rush Limbaugh, today’s worst person in the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;AHA! Just noticed KO is on the Comcast (Boulder, Mountain Time) program guide for 9 pm AFTER the football game. Yay!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NBC just updated their program schedule about an hour ago. Earlier in the day it was’nt on the schedule at all for the west coast. Probably the same deal in mountain time.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;They have really F*ed up the west coast.  They say Keith is on at 7:00 pm.  Fine.  That is 4:00 here.  No Keith.  And they say goofy things like “7:00/6:00 central.”  So what?  I don’t care what time it is on THERE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Long story short.  We have 2 different “TV guides” at our house — TiVo and a local one (like TiVo).  TiVo shows Keith on at 9:00.  The local one shows him on at 10:00.  And when you go to the NBC website, at the time it is on, it says, “This show is NO LONGER available.”  Really?  When WAS it available?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They are trying their hardest to make Olbermann have a small viewership.  Bastids.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
