10. Gotta Toss His Overboard...Fast |
|
Armstrong was stupid. He got caught. He's was even more stupid, he admitted what he did. Then Armstrong all but vanished. I mean, I haven't seen a 60 Minutes or Dateline or 20/20 or CNN investigation on this matter or how it occured. I didn't see Whorie Kurtz spend an hour on this last Sunday. I've even been disappointed Olberman hasn't jumped on this story as much as he could.
For a long time, the GOOP built their media empires through PACs and friendly corporations. Over the years, a media network has developed...through friendly companies like Salem & Sinclair...that made hate radio very profitable and pushed bigger companies like Cheap Channel to come on along for the ride. This network is a massive mess of profit and non-profits, religious and PACs, large corporations and government and party officials all intertwined with one another. Several sites cover certain parts of this large network, but it's huge and now generates some nice livelyhoods for lots of people...especially the people most responsible for investigating and reporting this story.
As always, when you get caught...shoot the messenger. Hey, these people tolerate known drug users and felons as "authorities". Why should this little matter with some "enlightened black" create any outrage? If so, it's cause us "libruls" are racist.

5. Did Williams extort the administration? |
|
I am sure that someone from the Dept. Ed offered to pay him before he accepted! But that is not their fault, becuase nothing is their fault. BS.

7. And the dead Iraqi citizens also made a mistake, NOT the White House |
|
"I didn't do it" is the Bush mantra. I didn't think it was possible, but my hatred for all things BushCo continues to grow exponentially, every day.

14. He actually, literally denied the WH knew about it. |
|
I expected him to just dance around it. If I were an investigative reporter type, I'd look into that. If it could be proven that the WH DID know about it, then * flat-out lied. And that is just as impeachable as "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky."

15. I don't know, seems like when they catch a john with a hooker |
|
both of them get arrested. Not to mention the fake hooker stings where they put the names of the potential johns on TV and in the papers. Or is it different when it's a media whore?

Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 12:24 PM by LynnTheDem
NOT HIS FAULT.
He is NOT IN CHARGE.
He is NOT RESPONSIBLE.
He does NOT MAKE DECISIONS.
When he DOES make decisions, the RESULTING CONSEQUENCES ARE NOT HIS FAULT.
WHATEVER goes on in the WHITE HOUSE is NOT HIS FAULT.
NO PRESIDENT is EVER RESPONSIBLE for ANYTHING.
NO COMMANDER IN CHIEF is EVER RESPONSIBLE for ANYTHING.
REPUBLICAN...OR DEMOCRAT.
RIGHT, little freepo-fascist rightwignnuts???

19. And if you ask him ahead of time, he can maybe think up a |
|
mistake he made. I can think of 37 or so he's made just today. Maybe he needs to attend some funerals instead of contemplating his man date.

20. I didn't realize that Armstrong ASKED for the money! |
|
If that's what happened, then President Mightymouse is right for once--it IS Armstrong's mistake. If it was OFFERED to him, on the other hand, why isn't Bush outraged that it happened on his watch? Why isn't he investigating/prosecuting/firing the people in the departments involved?
On the OTHER other hand, Bush says the "practice will be stopped." Armstrong WASN'T mistaken when he said there were others, then? And doesn't Bush KNOW the practice is illegal? If any of those others peddled the propaganda over the public airwaves, it might explain why Powell The Younger resigned from the FCC so suddenly!
