Former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer appeared on CNN and told his lovely blonde and brunette anchors the truth about what is really happening. The hilarious Stepford Wives reaction and the unprecedented cognitive dissonance the ensues is worth the price of admission.

4. Lovely? Perhaps in "not" speak. The blonde is a hag.
And her body language is shocking to say the least.

5. Six minutes and 42 seconds? That is a long exhaustive interview? What are they afraid of?

20. Strange bedfellows
Edited on Tue Apr-05-11 10:45 AM by SoulSearcher
From what I read, both the interviewers and guest may be shills.
I don't like the oil-agenda claim, but I know that has happened before. Just
don't know what to make of this after reading the backgrounds.

7. Loved how he cocked his head in disbelief when she said, "You are no fan of this administration."
Edited on Mon Apr-04-11 09:44 PM by pacalo
And his answer was beautiful. "This isn't a Democratic problem. It's a Republican & Democratic problem by those who love to intervene in problems where there are no American interests. They're trying to install democracy where democracy won't take hold at a time when this country is bankrupt."

I agree with him that it appears to be about oil. Whoever replaces Gaddafi will be no different.

He's just telling it like it is.

8. This guy being interviewed is a Fox News stooge
Edited on Mon Apr-04-11 10:38 PM by TheeHazelnut
He is featured in many clips on Media Matters making extremist right-wing statements:

9. Thanks for the link!
Here's another where Scheuer basically says Obama got involved in Libya because he is "racist and arrogant": http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/judge-napolitano-and-michael-scheuer-chann

11. Kiran Chetry, the hot one (right side, yellow dress) was a FOX anchor
Edited on Tue Apr-05-11 02:58 AM by jakeXT
In 2001 Chetry joined the cable news network Fox News Channel as a general reporter, first appearing on March 8, 2001, in a story about eating ice cream. The next year Chetry was honored with the Making our Mark (MOM) Award from the Association of Nepalis in the Americas.<8> During her time at Fox News, she worked as a rotating anchor for Fox News Live and the early morning news program Fox & Friends First. In late 2005, she became a regular co-host on the network's weekend morning news program, Fox & Friends Weekend.
Departure from FNC

American Morning co-anchor

Reportedly, CNN signed Chetry within an hour of her release from the Fox News Channel. After the deal had been inked, Chetry stated, "CNN is the gold standard when it comes to journalism, and I am thrilled to be part of the team."

15. It is that simple
Because "The Northerner" is not as popular as "kpete".

DU is more of a popularity contest than it is a place to gain and share information.

17. I only noticed that with the unrec feature DU lost a lot of it's edge

Maybe it's just my impression, but in the past you could always count on getting stories on the greatest, found only on a couple of webpages. Now I'm not so sure.

18. maybe
Unrec would be a great feature if one was required to leave a signicant reason as to why they feel the post desreves an unrec.
