Republicans apologize
The head of the Republican Party issued a
sweeping apology to American blacks on Thursday for a decades-old practice of writing off their vote and using racial polarization to win elections.
So Republicans are apologizing for being bigots and dividing the American people to win elections. What are the odds they'll be apologizing to
Gays and Lesbians in 40 years for the same thing?
Rick is a Dick
Rick Santorum blames
Boston liberalism for the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandal. I always that it was the sick f*cks who thought molesting young boys was an appropriate thing to do who were responsible. Now I realize it was liberal sick f*cks. Thanks for clearing that up for me Rick.
More fun at the White House Press Briefing
Scott McClellan is having a
bad day.. My favorite question:
Scott, I think you're barrage today in part because we -- it is now clear that 21 months ago, you were up at this podium saying something that we now know to be demonstratively false. Now, are you concerned that in not setting the record straight today that this could undermine the credibility of the other things you say from the podium?
Public broadcasting study 'amateurish'
"Frederick Mann, was secretly hired last year by Kenneth Tomlinson, chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the agency that disburses about $400 million in federal tax funds to public broadcasters. In recent months, Tomlinson has criticized National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service for an allegedly liberal bias and has pushed PBS to add programs with a more conservative tone.
Mann's work was released Thursday by Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., who had requested a copy from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It details the views of guests on four public radio and TV programs -- "Now With Bill Moyers" and "Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered" on PBS, and "The Diane Rehm Show" and "The Tavis Smiley Show" on NPR -- that aired between October 2003 and June last year.
Dorgan pointed out that "red-blooded" conservatives such as Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and former congressman Bob Barr, R-Ga., were classified as "liberal" and "anti-administration" apparently for briefly expressing views that differed from administration policy. Dorgan called the report "kind of a nutty project" and an "amateurish attempt to prove a liberal bias," noting Mann had apparently faxed his findings to Tomlinson from Mary Ann's Hallmark, a card store in Indianapolis."Read the whole story.
