Bill Clinton Blasts Olbermann For Politicizing Health Care Event, Refuses To Go
Commented Nov 21, 2009 at 18:35:24 in Politics
“How is calling attention to a healthcare emergency in Arkansas "politicizing" the event? Senator Lincoln has her head in the sand and the only way to get her to see what is painfully obvious to everyone else was to call her out. Bill Clinton is wrong on this. Olberman did the right thing and I support him.”

“You are absolutely correct.”

“Completely agree. And, regardless of one's opinion R or D, the free clinics are helping people who need it. How can that be wrong? KO isn't running for an office, that I know of, he's just using his nationally televised position to bring an audience to a problem.”

David Axelrod Gives Interview To Fox News' Major Garrett
Commented Nov 04, 2009 at 15:35:34 in Media
“"...the latest sign that the administration is ramping down its feud with the cable news outlet."
When did the White House say that they were "feuding" with Fox Noise? I went over all of the interviews and not once did I hear anyone connected with the White House say that they were "feuding" with Fox Noise.
They never even said that they wouldn't give interviews but somehow the incompetent press, feel free to include yourself, has printed this as if it was a fact.
You lie!”

“"What it's really about to me is the Executive Branch of the government trying to tell the press how it should behave. I mean, this democracy -- we know this -- only works with a free and unfettered press to provide information," he said.
Mr. Zurawik, I would be very interested to know where you and the Baltimore Sun stood when the Bush Administration was doing exactly that. Funny how the rules have changed. The hypocrisy of your position just reeks!”

Fox News Ratings Undamaged By White House War
Commented Oct 22, 2009 at 13:57:22 in Media
“Of course the ratings are the same. The White House has no influence over what entertainment shows I watch and Faux News is definitely entertainment.
If I needed news and information, I would never tune in to Fox. The White House has simply confirmed what I knew all along. Faux News is not a credible news source.”

Al Gore And Phelim McAleer Spar Over Global Warming: Climate Change Denier Challenges Gore (VIDEO)
Commented Oct 13, 2009 at 15:45:12 in Green
“McAleer is just another delusional, anti-science misfit who is hell bent on leading us all like lemmings to global disaster. He and his like are afraid of the future because they can't see themselves in it. They don't fight scientific fact with scientific fact. They simply steer the debate to anything other than the facts.
Stop providing a platform for this idiocy. Would you entertain an argument that the earth is flat or that the sun revolves around the earth? No, because science has, with the preponderance of facts, proven those arguments would be false. So why should we even have to listen to McAleer at all?
As long as we keep presenting stupidity alongside scientific fact as if they were equal, civilization loses.”

Obama's Nobel Prize Inspires Conservative Outrage And Confusion
Commented Oct 09, 2009 at 14:12:52 in Politics
“First, he was too inexperienced to run for President.
Then he was too Black to become President.
Then he was not born in the USA so he wasn't really American. So he wasn't really President.
Then he was trying to do too much.
And now, he doesn't deserve the Nobel Prize because he hasn't done enough.
To a person who grew up in racist America, this sounds all too familiar. Nothing a Black person accomplishes is ever good enough; no matter how accomplished they are.
We have a saying for this: If Obama walked on water, the American media headline would be
" Obama Can't Swim".”

Arianna On Leno: Memo To Men: Don't Have Affairs With Your Employees Unless You're Letterman
Commented Oct 05, 2009 at 15:18:47 in Media
“I agree. It probably was a bad idea. Office relationships usually work out badly.
Letterman was unmarried when these flings took place. Isn't that what single people do?
If he were married and cheating on his wife, I could understand the outrage. If the women involved started suing him for harassment, I could understand the outrage. But when a single man or woman engages in "sexual play" what is so outrageous about that? A bad idea. OK. Outrageous!
I don't think so.
Unless and until we find out more details about this Letterman fling with his female employees, I think that we all need to get off of our high horses. Most of us know someone who is cheating on his or her spouse right now. OMG!”

Producers Scramble To Explain Oprah's Ratings Decline
Commented Sep 14, 2009 at 15:01:35 in Media
“Only in the strange and fantastic world of television could anybody come to the conclusion that Oprah is "in trouble". She's had a long running and wildly successful TV show, she used that platform to do a lot of really good things, and she has more money than "god". I would like to be in so much trouble.
It only stands to reason that after a while her ratings would dip and if she could not keep up with the times and reinvent herself, she would eventually go off the air.
I was never a huge fan of her show. I am genuinely surprised that she lasted this long.
Best of luck to you, Oprah! Surprise them all and last another 10 years.”
