Perpetual Worst Person Bill O'Reilly downgrades to the bronze on Friday's edition of Worst Person in the World for his rather tired and mindless water-carrying of the GOP framing that Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama is big on pretty words and light on substance. *Yawn* You know, it might be a little more persuasive if 1) the substantive issues weren't available with a couple of clicks on his campaign website; and 2) the entire GOP and their official propaganda office, FOXNews, hadn't been defending the biggest "all hat, no cattle" president this country has ever seen for the last eight years. I'm just sayin'...
The silver goes to the New England Patriots, with the news that Sen. Arlen Specter is going to proceed with the investigation of the Spygate scandal, which as Keith Olbermann says, if true, will make the whole baseball doping scandals small peanuts indeed.
And finally, the gold goes to Jeff Hunt, Director of the Military Forces Museum on Camp Mabry, Texas. Apparently, Mr. Hunt felt that a diorama created by high schoolers was lacking in accuracy. His solution? Destruction, naturally. Way to instill a love of learning in these kids, Hunt.

"Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama as being big on pretty words and light on substance...."
Agreeing with Billo makes me feel all icky inside. Eeeeuuuuu.
lol...museums in Texas?? let's be serious
Hunt would be fired from any other museum. We'll see what this one does now that the spotlight has been focussed on his despicable act. Somehow, I have doubts that he will get much more than a "Heckuva job, Jeffie."
I love the way conservatives are constantly trying to define whmoever the frontrunner in the Democratic contest is. Between that and unasked for advice, the Dems have no need of staff. Just ask your local pinhead - er - conservative.
On Specter and the super bowl.
Think about this the fake patriots won through lying and cheating in 2001.
Go to 2008 ,the year of change,and where do they play but Sundevil stadium with the statue of one hell of an American hero, the one who pledged his fortune, his honor and his life none other than PAT TILLMAN. Did the phony patriots think they could prevail in that setting? The only acceptable punishment for the cheaters would be to strip them of their name. They can call themselves the cheaters, the corporates or the corrupts but the only true punishment would be to strip them of the rights to call themselves the patriots the poor losers.
See children it's like this, if you ignore the advise of the self proclaimed absolute and excellent expert of all times on the diorama that you are building you may face the scorn and ridicule from that expert in a controlled and dignified manner.
Principal on receiving the bad news:
"He did what! Why that stupid %$# dumb@!& mother ^#%^! what the %$& was that @%#clown thinking! The $%#@%^^@!%%%%%^%$&& on a pogo stick can #@%%^ his $@#self with a hot %##$%poker with his %#@^^&& oyster eating ^%$# relatives watching!
On Specter and the super bowl.
Think about this the fake patriots won through lying and cheating in 2002.

I voted for Obama, I support Obama, but he makes me cringe every time I hear him talk about bringing Republicans and Democrats together to get things done. The Republicans set the all time record a few of months ago for obstruction through filibuster and we still have almost a year to go in this congress. Republicans need to marginalized not listened to. No compromises, no bipartisanship, no input. They have done their best to ruin this country and the sooner we take their power away the sooner we can get the country back.
Specter wants honesty? Why doesn't the asshole investigate this administration instead of wasting our tax dollars on sports? let them regulate themselves. I could personally give a shit.
Another proud moment for Texas and it's National Guard.
Stoopid students. Why didn't they just read that bonehead's thesis? Why did he even waste the time writing it if nobody's going to read it - especially diorama-building high school students? What, did they think they would be learning something in this project or did they just do it because they hate 'Merica?
Jeff Hunt: Everything this country (under the current administration) has come to stand for -- destruction, bullying, and treating children like CRAP.
I hope Mr. Hunt's next gig is picking up cans by the highway. He ought to get a kick out of stomping them.
I wonder what was so "historically inaccurate" about the diorama? The article didn't specifically say. I guess the Confederates won that battle, even though the war was officially over for about a month (not surprised... it's not like they had mass telecommunications back then).
Cheating and lying in football, steroids and lying in baseball, election rigging and lying in politics, this has become the norm throughout the U.S. If you spent your time investigating all of the scandals in this country, you wouldn't have the time to breathe.
My bet is that Jeff Hunt was pissed that the
damned YankeesUnion wasn't shown as having been obliterated off the map. At the very least he should be forced to cough up the ~$150k that went into it."big on pretty words and light on substance"
Wasn't that lifted directly from Hillary's last speech? If so how come Keith didn't give her the honor?
L.A.C's Best People in the world countdown.
David Walker, US Comptroller General, is stepping aside at the Government Accountability Office. His next mountain: A foundation to alert the public to the problems of the financial soundness of the US - in debt to the rest of the world for something like $53 trillion already and more coming thanks to a snoozing CONgress stampeded past thinking by staged events.
Keith Olbermann has become the worst person in the world. I notice Obama made his latest sexist remark about Hillary Clinton on Countdown.
That museum display piece, since destroyed, could still serve a great purpose:
It could be displayed as living demonstration of the contempt those in power have for the common people.
Jeff Hunt reminds me of a former boss of mine who threw a hissy fit over how I folded a letter. I'm for real, the name and address had to show through a windowed envelope, but because I folded it differenty from how he did it he went ballistic when I said "What difference does it make which fold I make first, just so the name and address show through the window?"
He replied, "That's not the way I do it, so it's wrong."
Yea, he was a republican!!!
RayC @ 7:
Not to mention, too many Dems have supported them to get their agenda done. The Repugs wouldn't have passed jackshit since 2006 if it wasn't for Dem help.
Hunt should be dismissed, period. In destroying the diorama, he showed contempt for the students that put the work into the piece. If he had issues with the accuracy, the appropriate course of action was to either identify the issues and send it back to the students to correct, or correct them himself with the students permission. I hope this outrage gets reported beyond Keith's show...
kaT @ 16:
I noticed Bill is still lying through his teeth when he states only a Clinton can get universal healthcare. Um, he had 8 years, where was it?
I'm hoping Bill-O can give us the "specifics" on McCain's plans for all the issues he criticized Obama on. Because personally, I'd have to *guess* because I haven't heard him exact address ANY of those issues (beyond keeping the troops right where they are for the next 100 years).

WASHINGTON - Hundreds of U.S. Marines have been killed or injured by roadside bombs in Iraq because Marine Corps bureaucrats refused an urgent request in 2005 from battlefield commanders for blast-resistant vehicles, an internal military study concludes.
The study, written by a civilian Marine Corps official and obtained by The Associated Press, accuses the service of "gross mismanagement" that delayed deliveries of the trucks for more than two years.
Cost was a driving factor in the decision to turn down the request for the MRAPs — an acronym for mine-resistant, ambush-protected — according to the study.
Cost? Um what the?
ConcernedCanuck @ 23:
"Catch-22" is common idiomatic usage meaning "a no-win situation" or "a double bind" of any type.
Here is Mr. Hunt's email museum@tx.ngb.army.mil
Dear Mr. Hunt,
I can only imagine how embarrassed you must be after destroying a donated gift to your museum. As someone who is so obviously passionate about learning and education, it must be difficult to accept the fact that you most likely have destroyed the academic interests of hundreds of young people along with their work.
On another note, when will the museum reimburse the school for the time and materials you personally destroyed. My understanding is that that six figure payment due by you to the school could help fund another program targeted at repairing damage to many young academic careers.
Wishing you the best of luck in your future assignments.
Actually, I don't think O'Reilly is as far off the mark as he usually is here. If you listen to Barack's speeches, they're very persuasive and inspiring, but they tend to focus much more heavily on the attitude he brings than the things he gets done. For the casual observer who doesn't spend a lot of time browsing the candidates' websites, it's easy to see how somebody would get this same impression.
No wonder kids hate the grownups. Let this be a lesson to You ,children- You've learned a valuable Life Lesson.Grownups suck.Peter Pan had it right.Now,go forth and never grow up.
War is hell, even in miniature.
Just goes to show that kids in Texas should stick to playing violent video games instead of building something special with their own hands.
Ajt @ 8:
I agree, why now for fucks sake? I get tired of saying that there are SLIGHTLY MORE URGENT MATTERS to attend to!
I still can't believe that something DONATED that he was in charge of overseeing, that hundreds of kids put thousands of hours into.......was........destroyed?
What kind of person would do this? I cannot, for a second, think that the Texas National Guard would put him in charge of a two truck convoy after that stunt.
This transcends politics, war, and "historical inaccuracy".
I doubt ANYTHING was inaccurate, that man needs professional help. I hope he is shamed into getting it.
Thanks for his email address, I sent a little feedback his way. I hope all the parents of the children disrespected by Mr. Hunt can get together and feed him his own ass on a platter. The man needs a reality check in a way only outraged parents can provide.
ConcernedCanuck @ 23:
Fucked up ain't it? Those vehicles must not be expensive enough. Had they cost, say a billion dollars each, then they might have purchased 1000 or so. Gotta keep those defense contractors happy ya know!
What is it about Texas? Has someone checked whether their drinking water is contaminated?
kaT @ 16:
So criticism by Obama about Hillary is sexist? You need to take it down a notch.
Wouldn't it be doing the GOP bidding to be supportive of Obama, another milquetoast can't-we-all-just-get-along Democrat? What would be a better for a 2008 Republican win!?

Relatively speaking, I could not care less about cheating in sports as compared to our country. So which of these two does the Congress and media spend their time on?

It might keep Bushy quiet.
Otay @ 36:
Specter being a Senator from Pennsylvania is not concerned with cheating in general, no Repug seems to be. More specifically he is interested in any teams from Pennsylvania(Pittsburg,Philadelphia) that may have been cheated out of a win especially in playoff games.

It really is a sad commentary on our govermental officials when political corruption takes a back seat to to "my sports team lost".
are republicans steering this sport investigation crap?

nobody cares about sports and doping!
geeezz have the senators probably take Viagra....that's doping!
everybody is on dope one way or another, get REAL!
I called the museum Hunt is a civilian and not in the military.

Doesn't matter, civilian/military ... he's still a loser. He should be on the night shift sweeping the floors.
Why is the inevitable response to any criticism that Obama is light on any specifics "Go read his website!" How about he actually tell them to the voters from his own mouth instead?
Olbermann has become a Obama Talking Point.
Sorry to say, but Mr. O is definitely light on substance, and definely light on ethics.
From his site:
Throughout his political career, Barack Obama has been a leader in fighting for open and honest government. As a U.S. Senator, he has spearheaded the effort to clean up Washington in the wake of the Jack Abramoff scandal. In a politically charged election year, Obama acknowledged that corruption was a problem that plagued both political parties.
From the Boston Globe:
In Obama's eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns -- $296,000 of $461,000 -- came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions.
Obama's US Senate campaign committee, starting with his successful run in 2004, has collected $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs.
His $1.3 million from PACs represents 8 percent of what he has raised overall. Clinton's Senate committee, by comparison, has raised $3 million from PACs, 4 percent of her total amount raised (at that time).
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/08/09/pacs_and_lobbyists...
In addition, Obama's own federal PAC, Hopefund, took in $115,000 from 56 PACs in the 2005-2006 election cycle out of $4.4 million the PAC raised.
Obama then used those PAC contributions -- including thousands from defense contractors, law firms, and the securities and insurance industries -- to build support for his presidential run by making donations to Democratic Party organizations and candidates around the country. (Including SUPERDELEGATES.)
Why is it that each time I try to post Obama's PAC data from the Boston Globe, I have trouble. Try again...
Obama on Ethics. (Search; Obama PACs)
In Obama's eight years in the Illinois Senate, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns -- $296,000 of $461,000 -- came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions.
He tapped financial services firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests.

Olbermann has, unfortunately, become an Obama talking point. He has tarnished his credibility.
cg @ 26:
You know, "getting things done" in the governemnt usually means compromising your ideals and making back-room deals. It's fun to imagine that such a system could be harnessed for good, but it's just not practical. Obama wisely avoids excessive details because they aren't as persuasive and inspiring. Also, people don't like him for the details of his campaign (not that there's anything wrong with them). They like him BECAUSE of his attitude, and the perception that he's a young, hopefull, change-oriented outsider.
Clinton certainly hasn't been any more revealing in the details of her plan for America. Upon further researching her history and the details of her campaign (on her website), I feel worse about her than before. She's hardly more experienced at politics than Obama, she's simply a more familiar face.
Clinton is the darling of FauxNews. She's buddy-buddy with freakin' Rupert Murdoch (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/09/politics/main1600694.shtml). Haven't you asked yourself why his "conservative" network would trash McCain, an obviously conservative candidate, in her favor? Of course, the FauxNews viewership (what's left, anyhow) hates Hillary, thanks to the extensive conservative media smear campaigns of the 90s, so it's been a tough pill for them to swallow. I'm not arguing that they were justified, but I find it very odd that she would get in bed with those same people. Well, not really. I mean, her term in the Senate has been a string of compromises with conservatives, so she's proven her willingness to abandon her ideals (not that Obama won't do the same, he just doesn't have the record).
So, we have one candidate with "a flimsy record" of doing the right thing, and another candidate with a "proven record" of spineless cover-your-ass-and-vote-with-the-majority compromise. One of them "talks a mean game" about compromising with conservatives, while the other has a "long track record" of compromising with conservatives. Both of them have been shoved down our throats since 2005 as our choices for president in 2008 by the MSM.
This shit is bananas people. I don't really think the American people win in this election, no matter what. We're at a critical juncture in our nations history, and we're just playing the same tired old game. This is the legacy you're leaving to your children.

One minor correction: the last Super Bowl was not played in Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, but rather University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale (nice, to go from an actual college stadium to one that has the name of a college on it), which does indeed have the Tillman memorial just outside its gates. I'm glad that Congress (even if it is a Republican senator that's pursuing this) as well as a few pissed-off Rams players and fans are letting the NFL and the Patriots have it.

Just for the Record: Murdoch's NY Post endorsed Obama.
You may be right in that these are all politicians, no matter how well their oral skills are.
But make no mistake, the GOP has been scared of Hillary for years. They owned the media. The media has lifted Obama to mystical prominence.
GOP knows they'd rather face O.B than Hillary.
Anyone that scares the GOP like she does has my vote.
loubie @ 54:
And just for the record, I will point out that as early as July, 2006, Rupert Murdoch was throwing fundraisers for Hillary Clinton, and has personally given her campaign the legal limit-$2300.
First off, check your spelling: Pittsburgh is spelled with an H at the end.
Secondly, the whole Spygate thing isn't limited to Pennsylvania-based teams, so let's keep the fact that Specter is Pennsylvania's senator out of this.
It was the New York Jets - based in New Jersey - that caught them cheating (coincidentally, it was the other Jersey-based team, the Giants, that beat the Pats in SB 42). There are charges of cheating being brought against the Patriots by the Missouri-based St. Louis Rams, the first of the three teams that New England beat in the Super Bowl. One has to wonder if the Carolina Panthers (the Charlotte, North Carolina-based team that also lost to the Patriots in a Super Bowl) and perennial playoff rival Indianapolis Colts (based in Indiana) will get in on the action.

I was watching a segment on the News Hour on PBS and the repuplician talking head said with a straight face that the congress was about act (spew) and that Fisa was a much needed law (spew) I mean Hoeksta (R) was such a pinhead that whereever he came on camera I had to turn on the mute button because I of the scooby doo effect. If anyone thinks that the repigs in congress will want to play nice just look at what they did during Lantos memorial and then walking out like a bunch of spoiled babies not getting their way and when they do get their way they'll drive the country further into the abyss following the chimp into the trash heap of history it took the democrats 40 years to see themselves above the will of the people the rpugs took only 10 what progress.
Type: Pecker, Hunt A.
Jeff Hunt, Director of the Military Forces Museum on Camp Mabry, Texas, should be FIRED.
The museum needs to make full financial restitution to this school.
NO school should submit projects to this outfit again.
Better use of school kids' time?: How about a PEACEMAKERS museum? Just an idea...
loubie @ 54:
I'm not particularly afraid of the GOP. Not that they're not evil. Believe me, I know about how evil freakin' GOP wingnuts are; I live in the freakin' nexus. However, if you think the real power structure that's screwing this country is a political party, then you're obviously drinking the partisan kool-aid.
I know that YOU know that money and influence is what really matters in D.C. We all know this. We also know that Obama, Clinton, and McCain are all fueling their campaigns with big-money contributions that don't get awarded to a candidate without some measure of assurance that the favor will be reciprocated. They battling this thing out on a freakin' 4:3 box that's controlled by more big money. Why don't they get called out on this during debates? Why hasn't somebody compiled a list of contributers and grilled the candidates about them? Honestly, I think most politicians wear their big contributions as a badge of honor. You don't get the big bucks unless you have big influence, so why not flaunt it?
Dollars = power just about everywhere you look. Justice is rare. We're even encouraged, when faced with corporate fascism, to "vote with our wallets". As if our wallets are frightening at all to these people. The vote is just about the only equalizer this country has. It's the one instance where the average person has a chance to stand up to the people that are tanking this country. However, they've quite adeptly subverted the voting process as well, by making sure to control the primary process. Honestly, buying off our government is a bargain for these people. They only really need to pocket 3 or 4 people every 4 years to make sure they have a man in the oval office.
Do you honestly think the DMCA and NAFTA were awesome ideas that Bill came up with himself? They were terrible ideas masterminded by those who stood to make a lot of money off of them, and those people obviously had the GOP Legislature and the Democratic Executive in their pocket.
I'll cut my rant short here. I don't have any alternatives to offer, so it's pretty pointless. The Michigan primary is over (not that it mattered anyhow), so I need to just chill out and stop paying attention to politics until October.

Obama speech:

Here in Galesburg, you know what this new challenge is. You've seen it.
You see it when you drive by the old Maytag plant around lunchtime and no one walks out anymore. I saw it during the campaign when I met the union guys who use to work at the plant and now wonder what they're gonna do at 55-years-old without a pension or health care; when I met the man who's son needs a new liver but doesn't know if he can afford when the kid gets to the top of the transplant list.

Beyond such talk, there is little evidence that Obama went to any lengths to fight the Galesburg shutdown. Some analysts say his ties to the Crowns--Lester's son, James, is the Illinois finance chairman of Obama's presidential run--leave him open to criticism

Good, that means its more likely he will lose his job.
He would anywhere else, but this is Texas we are talking about. He likely got his job by virtue of who he is related to
I can't believe that someone like Mr. Hunt could be so cruel...oh wait yes I can. I've been living 8 years of the worst presidental administration in U.S. history. What a jerk! I hope he gets fired!
Pride seems to get the best of everybody these days! Hunt is a prideful little piggy. I say, tie him up (spread eagle and naked) and give the students paintball practice for an hour or two. All is forgiven! Would that be torture cheap justice ol'Scaley?
Jeff Hunt sounds like a textbook example of a bully.
If he really did destroy the diorama just because he felt it was lacking accuracy he's going to get his ass kicked.

Keep drinking the koolaid, "Unka' you'll catch on eventually. Oh, you'll be thirsty again right away but just cue up another one of Obama's "inspirational" stump speeches on yer VCR...Watch...Repeat...Watch...Repeat. Ahhh, you feel better already, don't you?

This is not about Texas, it's about assholes. We have plenty here - tell me which state doesn't and I'll move there.
My state had a majority Democratic congressional delegation until Delay's illegal gerrymander stole 5 seats. We picked up seats in the legislature last election - and we're gonna take it back this year. The Bush family (carpetbaggers from Connecticut) and Rove made us the first victims - then the rest of the country ignored our warnings and the Supremes installed him.
It is easy to blame a whole state for the actions of the undemocratic actions of the corrupt cabal now running the country - like others, in other countries, blame all of you for the idiot-in-chief. When you blame me, you blame yourself!

Damn. Heckuva job Hunty!
I dont watch football, but sort of half watched the Superbowl, I was shocked by the violence and bad attiotudes in the game by the players.
You had scuffles and fights breaking out and camera views tactfully changing when the fights broke out to keep it off the TV, one incident when one player grabbed the opposing teams players head from behind (he was airborne) and brought him down backwards across his knee thigh with the threat of breaking his back... plus plenty of players pushing other players from behind for no good reason ie they were nowhere near the ball or in play.
Far removed from generally non contact Soccer, and even Rugby is much more civilized than NFL football, sportmanship was very lacking from what I watched.
Does "Magic Bullet" Specter think he is serving America's needs and interests with his idiotic sports inqvestigations? Well, if that's what he has to do to avoid investigating any of Bush's crimes....
Otay @ 36:
Relatively speaking, I could not care less about cheating in sports as compared to our country. So which of these two does the Congress and media spend their time on?
I'm with you. Why is the United States Senate spending all of this time investigating sports yet shirking their constitutional obligation to investigate the blatantly anti-Constitutional behavior of our president and vice president?
