Can we all give Mr. William Pitt a round of applause?

[Marnieworld]

How does it feel Will to scoop CNN and all other "major" news outlets? First the news of Kerry's intent to filibuster spread among the blogs and they did source you. Now, over 2 hours later, it's "Breaking News" on Cnn. Ha!

So once again it shows that the real media is the blogosphere! Long live DU!

:applause: :woohoo: :thumbsup:

On edit: He scooped them by about 4 hours now that I see the time of his original post. It's amazing what happens when someone is actually investigating instead of regurgitating.

28. Weirdest. Post. Ever.

[Marnieworld]

29. Wow that was a while ago and you still hold a grudge?

Were you the mascot?

So this one possibly insensitive comment negates all of his work? So what giant freakin news did you report before all the other so-called major media today? :eyes:

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Yeah and he called my candidate a bad choice. Your point?

:sarcasm: Drop it already...people are allowed to have differing opinions. I don't always agree with everything everyone says/does all the time, but I'll acknowledge a job well done when I see it.

35. Huh???

[Just Me]

36. ROTFLMAO!! OMG!!!

:rofl:

Ahem :wow:

[Midlodemocrat]

37. Frankly, I wouldn't care if it was me that Will Pitt hit with a baseball

bat after the great job he did today.

A good job is a good job.

[undeterred]

32. We are damn lucky to have Will Pitt on our team.

I forward links to his articles to friends around the world who want to know what the hell is really going on over here.

:patriot:

[KansDem]

34. Give CNN a break! After all, they are "conservative" over there...

Probably wanted to be sure they had all the facts in before announcing it...:spray:

But thanks, Mr. Pitt. Your diligence and perseverance point to a professionalism that surpasses the "professionals" of CNN and the others...
