CRIER'S Video Report on Busby/Bilbray, Clint Curtis, BRAD BLOG and More!
VIDEO - CourtTV's Catherine Crier: Scathing Video Editorial Covers Busby/Bilbray 'Sleepovers', Clint Curtis, Tony Anchundo, DeForest Soaries, Brad Friedman and BRAD BLOG!
An Incredible Report Tying Together Dozens of Stories We've Been Reporting for Months here at BRAD BLOG!

(Thus exposing our secret news reporting center to the world! Damn her!)



Wow…CourtTV's Catherine Crier on Crier Live just covered virtually everything we've ever discussed on this blog in one fell swoop! Had I known it was possible, I would have used 5 and a half minutes to tell all these stories instead of the past two years!

As well, she included several incredibly kind words about both The BRAD BLOG and yours truly (and a picture of me to boot, sorry about that!) generously urging folks to visit this site:

If you want to learn about the state of our election process, I urge you to visit BradBlog.com. Brad Friedman has worked doggedly on this issue, amassing tons of valuable news and information on this subject.

She covered loads of stories that we've been secretly reporting here where the rest of the MSM could never ever notice… From the recent Busby/Bilbray Diebold voting machine "sleepover" fiasco to the Hand Count Fee scam that's followed, to the video-taped testimony of vote-rigging whistleblower Clint Curtis naming Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) as the rigger, to Bush-appointed former EAC commissioner DeForest Soaries' exposure of the cruel federal hoax, to now-disgraced Monterey County, CA Registrar of Voters Tony "Trust Me" Anchundo who faces 43 criminal counts and much more!

I was contacted recently by the show and they informed me they have been BRAD BLOG readers for quite a while. Their report this evening demonstrates that quite clearly. They managed to smartly show, in a single report, how all of these items we've been reporting on — for what seems like forever — actually all tie together. (What, no Ann Coulter Voter Fraud to boot? Maybe next week…)

I'd pull out some more quotes, but it won't do her report justice. See the full video (courtesy of David Edwards, natch) or text transcript which are both linked below...

I've been asked to appear on the show next week, and we're trying to work out the dates to see if it's possible, since — theoretically — I'm supposed to be hitting the road for a long planned and much needed vacation for several weeks after appearing at this weekend's DemocracyFest! in San Diego. But hopefully we'll work something out…

1. WOW! What a report! She played the Clint Curtis testimony!!! AWESOME!
I hope you work out the schedule to be on her show. She's hitting this HARD! It's about time someone in the corporate owned media did. Great job Brad!

fucking land one on me just right there, right between the eyes! I just want to see if I'm still alive! INCREDIBLE! Another sweet ass that deserves kissing tonight! Did you see the report on the Mexican election ballot stuffer on DU here tonight? Obrador, I hope they tear the fucking place down to see that you reap the righteous fruit of your office!

44. Ozarks here I come!

If I can ever manage to get out of here (as I'm trying to) I'll be heading in that direction! Back "home" to St. Louis, a chip shot from the Ozarks where I try to get to the Lake whenever I'm in the hood!

48. Viva Friedman!
viva Crier! Great work Brad, looks like it's all starting to come around. You're an Ozarks child? Spent some time in beeootiful southern Missouri, with the exception of the 10 different types of ticks and the chiggers i would've thought it was paradise... (ever heard of East Wind?)

Anyway, thank you for your "doggedness"!

As an aside, i use a Mac and Safari and have been recently having some trouble with your site. Links still work, but formatting has gotten skewed. The text runs on top of itself...

Peace and Goodwill...

That was a spectacular display of critical journalism. Not something we are used to viewing.

36. Size matters?

Actually, not sure what you mean. But if you mean the size of the video itself, if you're watching the Windows Media Player version, just resize it to your taste.

The Flash version is already purdy big.

Then again, if you're talking about something completely different...never mind :-)

45. AH...

Then keep recommending till Skinner and the Boyz put it on the front dang page where it belongs (if I say so myself!)

Don't know that we've ever seen such a smart MSM report and overview of just what the hell is wrong here. Even if I wasn't named in the report!

Well, a five minute report is a start. I'll be spreading that link all over the place. Get this snowball a-rollin!

47. I've liked her for years -- even when she was still reluctant Republican
Ex-judge from Texas... her show was ALWAYS fair and relatively unbiased. She has been fully "converted" the last few years, though... yay!!! Everyone HAS to read her newest book -- it shows how unconstitutional The Cadre is, lays out in layman and legal terms why the US was NOT founded as Christian nation, and socks it to the Religious Right.

LOVE HER!!!
