"Allow Me to be a Little More Obvious"
This is something that must truly be seen to be believed. "Early Show" co-anchor Harry Smith concluded an interview with former Vice President Al Gore by attempting to pin a Gore ‘08 button on the politician. Why stop there, Harry? Why not slap a bumper sticker across your suit? (Be sure and check out the NB video clip.)
Sometimes the media make it very clear what they would like you to believe. On Tuesday’s "Today" show, various NBC reporters described senatorial candidate and former liberal radio host Al Franken, as "smart," "Harvard smart" and a "smart guy." Now, try and imagine if Ann Coulter ran for elected office. Think Meredith Vieira would laud her intellect?
"Hmmm. Have We Left Anything Out?"
On Tuesday’s "Good Morning America," the ABC program featured an extensive segment on the root causes of why Rosie O’Donnell left "The View." They covered every angle of the story. Well, except for the fact that the comedienne insinuated that American troops are terrorists.
Oh, and reporter John Berman neglected to state that Rosie ran into a lot of trouble for spouting 9/11 conspiracy theories. Those are just minor points though.
"Run For President? Pretty Please?"
PBS host Charlie Rose, perhaps in an attempt to prove the neutrality of public television, hosted a fawning interview with the aforementioned Mr. Gore. He implored Gore to run for the White House, asked him in the 2000 election was stolen and generally gushed over the ex-VP.
On Wednesday’s "Good Morning America," the ABC program looked at whether or not it was justified for a Mexican audience to boo Miss USA during a beauty contest. Diane Sawyer wondered, "Was it fair?" Reporter Dan Harris insisted that this boorish behavior simply must be understood in a larger context.

The press has fluttered out of the closet drooling for a dem
June 2, 2007 - 13:15 ET by SportPoliticsThe press has fluttered out of the closet drooling for a dem 2000 redux, and crowning queen crackpot loudmouth rosie.
Gee, why hide it anymore they say, Bush has destroyed the free world and taken over the last democratic nation, they all can't move to France now either, since Bush installed a right wing war monger there with his cia assets, and germany has a new lady fuhror. Nowhere to run dems, nowhere to hide - Al Gore and Al Franken therefore are twinned up as the dem world saviors, and rosie o nutcase can be foreign policy head(not secretary) of state, UN friendly diplomat, and worldwide USA basher/apologist for the new "take back what used to be a country" run in '08.
I'm just surprised the democrats haven't started committing mass suicide with their hopes based on that line up.
Hmmmm, the Democrat congres

Democrats hide 36,000 pork projects with 1 hour of debate
June 3, 2007 - 12:34 ET by SportPoliticsYou got that right DontFeedTheTrolls
Democrats hide 36,000 pork projects with 1 hour of debate allowed before it all passes, unopposed, and certainly, unreported.
They're massive liars and cheats.
Here it is on myway.
[ Democrats are sidestepping rules approved their first day in power in January to clearly identify "earmarks" - lawmakers' requests for specific projects and contracts for their states.
Rather than including specific pet projects, grants and contracts in legislation as it is being written, Democrats are following an order by the House Appropriations Committee chairman to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them.
The House-Senate compromise bills due for final action in September cannot be amended and are subject to only one hour of debate, precluding challenges to individual projects.]
Well, there you have it, the democrat way. 1 hour of "debate" where noone can bring any of it up to any effect at all. I'm sure the democrats will publicly declare a pork free bill and Couric will report their great porkless legislaton.
They just LIE openly, flat out lie, and they get away with it.
Come on Sport - it's only 36,000 thingys.
