Kudos to the Fox sportscaster who speaks out publicly against Bush.

I found this article last night. Some of us wrote this Stan Savran to give him thanks for speaking out so courageously. I love his comments. I got a nice email back from him, and he agreed this election was the time for people to stand up and be counted. I am posting this in GD this time because I realized from his email that it meant a lot to him to be thanked. It took courage to do that. Send him a thank you at

Here is the article of his appearance with Howard Dean last night.

SNIP..."As for the "liberal" tag the Bush campaign has hung on Kerry, Dean said, "I don't know if Kerry is a liberal or not, but not one Republican president has given us a balanced budget. ... If we need a liberal to give us a balanced budget, then we need one!"

That line drew a roar, but no louder than those drawn by sportscaster Stan Savran, who served as a warm-up speaker.

Savran, in what he said was his first political appearance ever, said he didn't care if his employers -- Fox Sports Net and ClearChannel Communications -- didn't like what he had to say.

"I'm not taking it from them -- not taking the idea that if I disagree with their views I'm not a real American, not as American as them, not as patriotic as them," he said.

He went on to criticize Vice President Dick Cheney -- whom he dubbed "Grandpa Grumpy"
