Update (April 3, 2008) at bottom of post: Charges dropped against Corral. Statement appended.
I'd like to take a break from our usual program of pointing out the absurdity of liberal bias in the press to let you get to know some of the people who provide the news for public consumption. First up is C.P. Smith (pictured), page-one editor for The Orange County Register and husband of LA Times deputy editor Sherry Stern. When the cameras roll in his newsroom, he likes to do things like walk up and pick his nose and then wipe it on his shirt. It's gotten to the point where the news director doesn't even want to shoot in the newsroom anymore.
Next up is Miami Herald reporter Oscar Corral. Apparently Oscar is so fond of Bill Clinton that he wanted to emulate his most famous act... in his car... with Yamilet Lopez, an 18 year old. Unfortunately for Oscar, the police were listening in while he tried to negotiate the price. The Herald covered the story, of course, with 90 uninteresting words that left out the typical embarrassing mugshot, mention of the prostitute being 18 and the fact that the police overheard the transaction. Not surprisingly, Corral is proclaiming his innocence. Perhaps this was just his attempt at a unsanctioned undocumented migrant social program. After all, they are doing the work that Americans won't do.
Update (Ken Shepherd | April 3, 2008): It has come to our attention that the charges against Corral have since been dropped. In an e-mail statement Corral wrote, "This all stems from a misunderstanding. The charges were dismissed and my name has been cleared. No crime occurred. I should have never been arrested." Yamilet Lopez was also not prosecuted.

Wonderful stuff. Keep in
Wed, 08/08/2007 - 12:41 ET by buddycWonderful stuff. Keep in flowing. I would also really like to see their voting registration, contributions, social events etc. Anything that exposes their personal prejudices. Normally I wouldn't care to know about the sexual indiscretions but they have deemed them significant as to republicans so I say GET THEM!

What a grand article.
Wed, 08/08/2007 - 12:49 ET by kgWhat a grand article. Perhaps you can make it a regular feature or even a weekly feature. I am sure people would love to see who is feeding them the news.
Kind of knocks them out of

He's not just wiping it on his shirt
Wed, 08/08/2007 - 13:26 ET by Dad GummitThat booger eating moron is saving up for a snack. No way is this a joke. If he's not fired he must own the place. No way would anyone in their right mind do that on the air & still expect to keep any job.

I'd be amazed if this guy
Wed, 08/08/2007 - 13:35 ET by sarcasmoI'd be amazed if this guy wasn't fired in any normal workplace just for the disrespect it shows to his employer if not the nastiness. OTOH, this is the no-consequences news media, where sleeping with the mayor you're covering is only a 2 month unpaid vacation, so he probably won't lose his job, IMO. I might be off-base, though, so informal poll: Do others here agree that while there may be consequences, this guy WON'T lose his job over this?

Liberals are nose-picking, booger-eating bedwetters.
Wed, 08/08/2007 - 13:42 ET by Dave RIf you ever doubted that liberals were nose-picking, booger-eating bedwetters, now you know.
Help Fred defeat everybody.

Wed, 08/08/2007 - 13:51 ET by balboaIt would be much better if they just stormed off of sets, blurting out "This is bullshit!" as they went.

Wed, 08/08/2007 - 20:45 ET by Dave RLOL-Yeah, it would most definitely cut down on the embarrassment factor. For his family, that is.
I mean, if you were that guys wife, what would you be thinking?
Help Fred defeat everybody.

Perverted Propagandists
Wed, 08/08/2007 - 15:13 ET by Lame CherryI blogged on this extensively yesterday here in pointing out that the Moses from the mount liberals like Bob Woodruff's wife Lee and the foul mouthed Bill Maher KNOW very well which of their colleagues are pedophiles, being stationed in the far east to sex kids and taking pervert vacations there.
Ask a reputable travel agency sometime about "Thailand trips" and they all know what that means and most will not handle them as they are child molesters.
Everyone of these liberals knows who is getting women drunk and raping them, forcing some green kid into BOHICA, got high tailed dogs and a host of other perverted crap they are pushing.
Want to know why the billions in bribes coming out of Saddam's "oil for food" the UN set up at the instigation of Bill Clinton story was dropped? It is because these "news bodies" were taking kickbacks too just like the UN, most of Europe and all the Clintons.
Goodness, Vince Foster before the people who murdered him was the Clinton bagman for funds. He ran PROMIS along with Hillary in laundering money for the CIA. Foster though got his account stolen of about 2 million and raised a fuss and was elimated. Ron Brown faced the same scenario but out of Vietnam bribes run right into Bill and Hillary's accounts.
The reason Bill is running around "speaking" earning around 50 million now is so the Clintons can launder out of their Swiss Bank accounts the millions deposited there by Marc Rich and others in these schemes.
This is a dirty bunch and will not expose any of the sex, lies or digital pics as their bosses are either dirty or they are. It is why they are obsessed with the subjects in trying to tag Republicans as they sit on this on the liberal side daily terrified someone in America is going to read a blog like this and it will start a national conversation.....and the next thing you know Larry Flynt has pictures of them and they are caught digging not boogers on live television but "receiving" a new boy toy out of homoslavia sold to them by the same narco cartels which run all of this and corrupt enough of the elite to keep it all quiet.
