1. Has she been offered her job back - if so, did she take the offer?

2. I heard it was "a job" but not sure if it's her old job.
It didn't sound like it but it really wasn't clear.

11. Thank you - If she did take a job I hope it was for a 'substantial' increase
in salary. She deserves it.

3. He's on fire! "Self-defeatingly above it all" -- best description I've heard of Obama lately

6. How do you know that Obama had anything to do with the decision
or are you as bad as Breitbart with false accusations.

26. I didn't accuse Obama of a thing -- I merely repeated a description I thought was very apt.

7. I love Keith, but sometimes his prose gets far too purple for my taste
parts of this SC epitomize that tendency.

That said, I agree 100% with what he's said so far.

15. that, unfortunately, is the media world we live in, for at least a decade now
i think part of his brilliance, is his format, recognizing that to be heard or have a 'show' today, you need to spice things up a bit.

consider the media without him, and rachel, and others who are following in his footsteps.

thanks KO, for FIGHTING back, with a PASSION :toast:

27. Yeah. In retrospect, the purple prose was frontloaded
by the third minute, he was going whole hog and it was beautiful.

Actually he may have missed a point.
Maybe Breitbart has dug his own grave, the faster without any interference.

28. No such luck...
If you go from network to network, you'll notice that this incident is being reported as being all about President Obama--even though it was Vilsack who screwed up. Breitfart barely gets mentioned. What he did is irrelevant to our whore media.

29. Loved it!!!!
And he used a line from my Favorite Movie Ever-The American President. I agree with Keith, Obama needs to watch the entire movie, eight times over...to learn that if he keeps trying to walk a fine line.....he is going to walk himself out of a job in 2012.

Time for a primary Challenger for Obama in 2012, IMHO!!!
