Under American law you cannot libel the dead. That is how he gets away with it.

ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider adds, “Terry is one of the smartest guys in the whole building.

Yup.

Just when you think they have scraped the bottom …. I don’t think we even know where it is.

ABC is a disgrace. Never tune it in.

One of the advantages of living in DC is access to MHzNetworks with all the foreign broadcasts. I never watch American news.

Good morning, pups. It’s Bobo and Krugman today. Bobo has his sciencey hat on today. He scrawled a thing called “Human Nature Today,” in which he loftily opines that evolutionary psychology has had a good run. But now there is growing pushback. Critics say the theory is being used to try to explain more than it can bear. Mr. Krugman, in “Not Enough Audacity,” says President Obama has eloquently explained the case for health care reform, but wonders whether he will compromise so much to get a plan through Congress that it won’t do the job. My bet is yes, he will.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got waffles with maple syrup to start off with. The pitchers of lemonade, iced tea and ice water are in the fridge for later. Now I’m off to try to find some small, out-of-the-way corner of the world where I can avoid the All Jackson All The Time furor. Have a great day.

Need. More. Caffeine. Actually HERE they are.

What is it with ABC News and a complete inability to not act insufferably? And yes, I’m still looking at you Charlie Gibson

What is it? Well they could be on the take just how much does the healthcare industry spend on advertising?

As for Big Pharma, TONS. And actually it rather annoys doctors who have to deal with patients coming in demanding the latest drug they saw on TV whether or not it’s indicated for them.

Bobo has what expertise in science? Given his track record why does he still have a job?
I think I have consistently said Bush was wrong about everything for years my track record on that area is perfect!
But does the Times let me or any other Lefty write for them NO!
Its all who you know Bobo is a Reverse Darwin, Wingnut Welfare, Crony hire selected because he writes what Karl tells him to.
Its amazing just how coordinated all the GOPers are on topics like ORCs fighting to win the Ring.

Letting drug companies advertise Reagan’s fault its something we should stop.

Now in Chicago
11-4
I loves me some Austrailian Football on Monday nights too

I mean if I repeat something often enough I catapult the propaganda to paraphrase Bush, people unskilled on the subject will then react when confronted with sickness with what they know.
Never mind the facts, its on TV and the Bush FDA well Mercury in cat food just how many food recalls resulting in how many deaths, refusing to test for mad cow stopping, Private Enterprise from testing for Mad COW?
I have no faith in Private INdustry or Government run by the GOP (same thing) to police themselves.
Greenspan has shown us that the Markets do not police themselves enlightened self interest turns to gluttony without self regulation and outside criticism or the worry about outside criticism.

Who do we contact? An outrageous thing to say….do we know what medical school he attended? Not the way I want to start my day or think of FF….What’s not fair is his useless and disrespectful speculation.

Agreed.

What an asshole to say something like that! How about maybe she got cancer from what she ate? It has to pass through there, YOU MORONIC RIGHT WING IMBECILES!

I hope Fawcett’s estate sues the crap out of ABC!

Perhaps ABC should interview “doctor” Bill Frist so he can give a “diagnosis,” just as he did for Terri Schiavo. No doubt it’ll support the Moran’s made-up claim.

Maybe Bobo is right about Evolutionary Psychology he himself seems proof that evolution has never happened.
But seriously Class Warfare he is linking people who like Skynard in the dumb group I do not know if the book makes that comparison and given Bobo’s record its worth checking.
Certain things being considered Smart Behavior driving a fuel efficient car are more because you want to save money, care about the environment and yes that does attract a certain kind of mate.
The funny thing is I doubt Bobo listens to Skynard or drives a monster truck in fact he seems to be striving to create a state of class warfare against the very women I presume is attracted too.
NY Times readers who are college educated

Skynard 38 special song about gun control, Give me three steps song Mark Sanford should listen too Hispanic men do tend to be over protective even of ex wives, That Smell anti drug song.
Who says we don’t listen to Skynard?

Moran’s constant visual self-inspection for this problem has given him a unique perspective which the majority of us cannot appreciate, having our heads in sunshine.

But only if he doesn’t count the janitors and building maintenance people and receptionists and the guy who puts toner in the photocopy machine after he fixes the paper jam.

or the vermin

Touche!

I saw 38 Special in concert back in the 80’s. They were great in their day. ;-)

Correction…it’s “MorAnic.”

Find this reasoning by the bobblehead propagandist odd, considering it’s right on the heels of a Repub state governor using taxpayer money to fly to Argentina to schtup his mistress, literally disappearing for days and completely incommunicado leaving a state in the lurch, and during Father’s Day no less.

Of course, two weeks ago there was a self-proclaimed “family values” and “promise keeper” Nevada Senator who also admitted to an affair, and like Guv. FathersDay, only when caught.

Here are some facts for ABC’s intrepid little Jimmy Olson, most adulterers like Sanford and Ensign, are repeat offenders, so it’s likely they’ve slept around before. And, who knows how promiscuous they’ve been in their pasts if they’re able to sleep around on their wives now.

So using his reasoning, “it’s fair to say (and sad to say)” that these Repub leaders could be serving as carriers of a sexually transmitted disease, and passing it on to women, perhaps their wives and mothers of their children, which very likely could give them cancer and lead to their early deaths.

Why would these Repub leaders, and rumored candidates for the Repub Presidential ticket, want to kill the mother of their children? Since Terry Moran obviously has such incredible insight and journalistic skill, I can’t wait until he starts investigating this, before these Repub men, and others not yet caught, continue to kill women.

If I’m not mistaken, Frist is only an expert on patients where he sees a viable life with those who have liquefied brains. See?

GOVERNOR SANFORD SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR HIS DERELICTION OF DUTIES!

You can be smart and thrifty and poor and uneducated Bobo seems to assume that Peacock behavior is only for the lower classes.
Bush and Darth certainly both have issues regarding Macho Behavior probably a result of dodging the draft.
Drill Now Drill baby Drill Peacock behavior of which I have been guilty of in small but certainly different ways.
I think having a regulator on your peacock behavior shows that you have evolved past 17,some people never get past 17.
I think being thrifty just shows you have a brain a mature mate would be attracted to this yes.
Not that there is anything wrong with peacock behavior provided you can afford it but after 17 it stops being the big thing in your life.
Bobo seems to think that uneducated people drive Trans Ams all their lives and never switch to mini vans even after they get a family.
Hybrid owners are Fashion car snobs what kind of car does Bobo drive?
I think the first car company with a hybrid mini van will clean up practical and thrifty go together.

I meant the Skynard song 38 Special but yes I like the band too:)

Good point the MSM should ask Sanford’s wife if she has been tested…for AIDs and well everything.
I bet THE DUMMY never used protection! The MSM should ask Sanford that question but Men do lie his wife should be tested.

One can only hope she has at least enough intelligence to get tested…..especially if she’s concerned about her children and her continuing ability to take care of them.

Oh. *looking at my coffee cup & thinking I should make more* LOL

What baffles me about Sanford is, why be incommunicado? Why didn’t he keep his cell phone on? The whole idea of ‘deriliction of duties’ could have been avoided. Was he afraid someone would trace the call to S.A.? Would anyone have known where the call was coming from? Was there no service there? Was he to cheap to pay the charges? I don’t get it.
I know a guy who was cheating on his wife. His cell phone was his best friend. She never knew where he was and it enabled him to get away with it for quite a while.

Crap real good point the MSM has to ask her now if she has been tested for the children’s sake and somebody has to tell her this because the GOP would never provide her with any real information about sex.

Back on topic, that’s a shameful quote. Such compassion.

You are right the cell phone should have been on unless maybe Sanford was thinking of leaving his wife?

Well,according to Rush Limbaugh, Sanford was forced into this behavior because of the stimulus funds that he didn’t want to accept. It’s Obama’s fault! See? Rush knows everything because he’s the leader of the American Taliban.

You’re right, Attaturk. That pic never gets old. I wonder what anger issues the moron Moran has that he would email that statement. His mea culpa is just as bad:

“I wanted to raise some issues about a disease and I did it in a very stupid way,” he says.

The moron Moran cannot tell me his first thought when he saw that FF had anal cancer wasn’t “she takes it….” Another sexually repressed Rethug Disney employee.

It’s not even the governor’s duties. One of his kids could have gotten ill, a family member could have had an accident….there are countless personal emergencies. What kind of parent would not be reachable?

Self-centered? Irresponsible? Asshole? All of the above? There’ll be an exam later.

Ok, I’ve got another OT that just thrills me. Here’s a quote from Jay Rockefeller regarding healtcare. Per TPM:

There is a very small chance any Republicans will vote for this health-care plan. They were against Medicare and Medicaid [created in the 1960s]. They voted against children’s health insurance.

“We have a moral choice. This is a classic case of the good guys versus the bad guys. I know it is not political for me to say that,” Rockefeller added.

“But do you want to be non-partisan and get nothing? Or do you want to be partisan and end up with a good health- care plan? That is the choice.”

Is Mark Sanford a believer in Abstaining from sex until marriage and Creationism? Maybe he thinks only sinners and poor people get sex diseases the GOP is very Pharrisse like that.
His wife might think that she does not need testing herself for that very reason.
Its amazing how many GOPers with degrees and advanced degrees are anti science but probusiness Bobby Jindal thinks volcano monitoring is government pork.
No Science no Vocational Classes but GOPers all can Manage stuff
they finance/gamble and laugh at manufacturing they say we should not worry about outsourcing (unless they are appealing to Tea Baggers).

So Terry…

Is the “sexual revolution” why these prominent Repub men are sleeping around then? They’d be able to actually keep their “promises” to their wives and kids, and actually respect the “sanctity of marriage” if it wasn’t for those damn Liberals in the 1960s?

That logically follows from Terry’s reasoning.

Oh, maybe he means it’s okay for men to sleep around, but not for any respectable woman? See what happens ladies if you enjoy life too much? You kill yourself with cancer! Terry Moran says so. Of course, we have no idea and Terry offers no proof that Sarah Fawcett slept around a lot. For all we know she was a very faithful wife and girlfriend, but Terry doesn’t need to bother his beautiful mind with details, now does he?

Not when there’s slandering to do of someone and her family THAT DIED JUST A FEW HOURS EARLIER with completely MADE-UP ACCUSATIONS.

This asshat should be fired immediately for this.

A parent thinking of leaving and not coming back.

Good morning. I see everyone’s in a fine fettle this a.m.

Might have been better for everyone if he’d done that.

Geither answers questions from HuffPo readers

“Overall, we do not believe that you can build a system based on banning individual products – our core challenge is ensuring we have a system that has a proper balance between innovation on the one hand and consumer protection on the other,” said Geithner.

So now the banksters are the makers of “products.”

Interesting reading.

I can’t get over this…

Famous woman dies, an icon of a generation, and WITHIN HOURS this pea-brain goes on national TV and calls her a tramp and says her trampiness killed her.

Nevermind, for all we know, Fawcett could’ve been the most faithful wife and girlfriend you could ever find. Unbelievable.

False choice any plan that can pass is likely a bad plan the Blue Dogs and GOP do not want to pass a plan that works and saves money.
We need a French, Japanese type plan private enterprise has had decades to bring medical costs in line with other nations they failed.
I want Michael Moore’s “Sicko” on National TV primetime especially in the red states.
Would Red States even be Red if they had access to any liberal media outside of KO, Rachel if they have cable and public tv?

Just to lighten up a bit, a friend of mine, now in his late 60’s, is fond of saying: “Just think. Man has been on the planet for hundreds of thousands of years and I missed the sexual revolution by about five years.”

Yes if your thinking of immigrating.

Would Red States even be Red if they had access to any liberal media outside of KO, Rachel if they have cable and public tv?

I’d argue if they had access to any actual journalism, not just Liberal media, then we’d hardly have any “red” states at all. This is why I’ve felt that busting up BigMedia is issue numero uno, since all the other changes, like single-payer, would be easy if people just knew the facts.

Instead, they have Terry Moran, and most redstaters would consider him part of the “liberal media.” We have far to go….

Huh?

I’m sure the kids think so especially when school starts he could have just retired for health reasons and saved his kids and wife a month of being on the news.
Instead he took how many days to break up with his girl friend? Phone call, e mail heck one night over dinner thats all it takes.
I think he was thinking of leaving his wife the wife maybe in denial but the kids won’t be Mark Sanford is not likely to be welcomed home.

Geithner saying stuff like that makes me worried about the economy.

How about reading the entire piece.

I’d argue if they had access to any actual journalism, not just Liberal media, then we’d hardly have any “red” states at all.

Agreed but as Colbert says Reality has a liberal bias. I think the big MSM media companies are doing poorly and may very well break up.

I keep thinking of a personal situation. My late husband died 22 years ago and I haven’t had the slightest interest in forming another relationship. I hear thru relatives that his first wife also sez she is better off alone. Seems Sanford’s wife & kids might be in a similar situation.

So you are saying you are better off alone?

Yep.

Swim is upstairs…

or ‘moranal’? I remember all the tittering back in the 80’s when one or more nuns were found to be HIV-positive. From blood transfusions during surgery, but not a small number of people preferred to harken back to the ‘Adventures of Maria Monk’. That was a propaganda hitjob against Irish immigrants back in the Know-Nothing Party’s heyday in the 1840-50’s. Wait a minute: isn’t Moran an IRISH name? Come to think of it, ‘Know-Nothing Party’ is not a bad monniker for the current GOP. Many points of similarity.

It’s telling Moran got his “break” on Court TV during OJ trial. Stay classy, Terry!

Well,according to Rush Limbaugh, Sanford was forced into this behavior because of the stimulus funds that he didn’t want to accept

I’d be willing to sign up for a little experiment whereby the Feds GIVE me lots of $$$, and then see if I go crazy.
