“I just hate it when the media edits the quotes. Here is the whole quote:
Last week, Dobbs told reporters that he is "considering career options including possible runs for the White House or U.S. Senate, [I also may try my hand at brain surgery, speed skating, or even competitive eating] " and that "I am ruling nothing out."”

“It had nothing to do with the Right and the rape connections they make but it reminded me of the interview so I included it in this comment.
You must have watch a different interview than I did then because from my observations Chris couldn't stop with the self exam comments and innuendos.”

“The interview was about the report and how it didn't jive with Shultz's own experience. More to the point, if the report is to be now used to limit managrams by say insurance, one should still self exam. My wife has often asked me to examine a possible lump. I'm getting the impression you don't like Chris much, cause I didn't see anything untowards, and we should be thankfull someone was talking about how stupid the report sounds, givin the history of breast cancer.”

Harry Reid: 'I'm Not Using Reconciliation'

“I think that would fall under the heading of "arm twisting" and is no longer allowed in the Senate. Remember Tom Delay - that is what he did to get something passed - he held open the vote on the floor while he harranged the opposition within his party until he got the votes he wanted. He even threatened one Rep. that had a son running for office, Tom told the Rep if he didn't vote for the bill, his son would never get elected - he voted against it and his son was not elected.
You cannot do anything to "win" someones vote - you cannot offer anything, demand anything, or threaten punishment for anyones vote. The only thing you are allowed to do is debate the bill on the merits and hope for the best.”

Did anyone catch Chris Mathews the other day when he was interviewing Rep. Wasserman Schultz about the change in policies for mamograms? She had discovered her breast cancer through self exam - Chris went apeshite and kept trying to bring the discussion back to self exams, young women giving themselves exams, husbands getting involved in examining their wives, etc. It was classic Chris - I swear he had an orgasim right in the middle of the interview!”

“I saw that. It made me very uncomfortable. I didn't want to hear about him helping to give his wife her breast exams.
I know he feels very strongly about abortion, he has been badgering everyone about it for months. He pushed the whole debate. That whole abortion thing stems from men like him thinking they own women's bodies and have the right to tell all women what to do. As he calls it, it is a 'moral' issue.
I call it a 'control' issue and it is deadly dangerous for a woman to go up against it in real life. It is the biggest killer of women by homicide. Men who are overly controlling, like him, tend to get violent if displeased, or denied. His affirmations of that culture are scary.
He positively gave me the creeps talking about his wife's breasts - like he (and all husbands, naturally) owned them. (shudder)”

“I watched that interview and didn't get from it anything negative. Indeed only positive reenforcement about self examination, inspite of the latest edict from the health pros. And what's it have to do with the Right associating all the ills of the world, real or imagined, with rape?”

“This simply does not pass the sniff test:
1. Man beats cancer but then kills himself - not likely but possible
2. Man spends a lot of time rigging ropes to hang himself, strips off his clothes, carves "FED" on his chest, then manages to duct tape his hands then somehow hangs himself - I am sure that it is physically possible but why go through all that - he had a car, he had duct tape - why wouldn't he just sit in his truck and run a hose from the exhaust to the cab and go that way?
3. This is Kentucky - where some people really hate FEDs which is a more likely reason for his death.
The only logical reason for him to go through this whole murder hoax is if he wanted his family to be able to collect on his life insurance but there are 800 better ways to do it and nothing has come out about his financial status or anything else that would make me think he wanted to go - not that I have studied him or this case but if there was something we would have heard about it by now.”

FACT CHECK: GOP Math Suspect In Stimulus Debate
Commented Nov 02, 2009 at 12:49:49 in Politics
“What a croc, you can't generalize on the college educations that conservatives or liberals have. There are Ivy leaguers on both sides as well as liberal arts majors. The post was not about which side has a better educational value when determining cost/benefits analysis - it is about the GOP calculating cost per job creation without decreasing the stimulus amount by the cost of materials, planing, etc. that is not related to jobs creation.
You can make any math problem come out the way you want as long as you use fuzzy math - case-in-point:
It takes 20 people to build one house in 20 days so therefore it would take 40 people 10 days, 80 people 5 days, 160 people 2.5 days and 320 people could build a house in 1.25 days! That is fuzzy math because it doesn't take into consideration any of the variables that is necessary to build a house, like time to dry the cement used, etc.
BUT NONE OF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH LIBERAL'S OR CONSERVATIVE'S HIGHER EDUCATION VALUES AND NEITHER DOES THE ARTICLE!”

In this way Obama can appoint some truly liberal appointees, knowing full well they won't be confirmed by Congress--but he still gets brownie points with progressives for the apointment and Congress gets the blame.”

Jake Tapper Challenges White House Over Fox News Claims

“Fox News is the prime example with Rupert Murdoch on why we need to go back to FCC rules preventing media consolidation. Rupert went about buying up all the local and national media outlets to include newspapers, radio stations, and TV cable news stations. He then put together syndication packages that were sold to these outlets - this is why the Rush, Beck, and other liars were able to get these big market ratings without having to get it based on fans demanding their shows. The local stations had no choice in the matter - accept the whole package or pay ridiculous prices for individual canned shows. Rupert didn't care about ratings just markets that he could saturate with his shows.
What bothers me the most was when they allowed Rush on the Armed Forces radio that is heard by soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan but Air America radio was not, so they only got to hear one side.”
