Undeclared Super Pundits
By John Amato Sunday May 18, 2008 8:00pmWe've heard so much about delegates, delegates, and more delegates---declared and undeclared Super delegates for the Democratic party ad nauseam, but I wish the Village Elders of the teevee punditry class would also make a declaration if they have made a choice for the nomination and the general election. Day after day, we hear the same pundits pontificate on the ins and outs of the campaign season in such a way that you can close your eyes and know who they are supporting. I think it hurts their credibility if they are going to constantly slant their perspective to the American public. They aren't the reporters covering the stories and campaigns, but the opinionators that take the information and run with it. There's nothing wrong at all if they have a candidate they prefer, but it would be nice if they came right out and said it. Here's some quick observations:
Cafferty=Obama
McLaughlin=Hillary
KO=Obama
Dobbs=Hillary
Hume=McCain
O'Reilly=McCain (OK, these two were jokes because FNC is solidly for McCain across the board)
And have you seen the way Russert interviews McCain compared to any major Democratic politician? There are many more and I expect a big shift once the general election officially starts. In other words---some will switch and we'll see a solid McCain base permeate the airwaves. They sure love their doughnuts.
Begala and Carville were forced to say they are Hillary supporters every time they go on CNN which was the right move to make, so why shouldn't that same label apply to all that are trying to shape the narrative?

You left out Karl Rove = Hillary. But Will Hillary Still Cite Rove, Even After He’s in Jail?

Shitt Fumes is a McCain man? No.........
Does this include you???? You have been pushing Obama for months. Is it because those ads he pays for you have on your site?
[Nope. We have paid ads from a lot of people on this site. And we haven't been pushing one candidate over another. We're interested in seeing the Democratic Party's nominee beat John McCain. We've said so many times-Sitemonitor]
Webb 4 VP and Edwards 4 AG
win!
Since we already can tell who's supporting who, let's simplify it further : replace the word "news" with "opinion" on their banners . CBS Evening Opinion, ABC Opinion, Fox Opinion Network, or my favorite, CON instead of CNN . Then we can watch them without as much guilt .
just to add to your list:
John Stewart=McCain
I wish the ones who are CIA would come out and declare it, though I usually know a mockingbird when I see one.
and I keep saying it. If. (big IF) Hillary exits the race with grace and aplomb, let her name stand for the SCOTUS. After this fall any name will be bulletproof. And She will have the legal forte she has chased all her life, with (g-d willing) a 30-year tenure.
Can't we all come to an agreement here?
Pity the poor monster, McCain
Either senile or merely insane
He skips all the votes
To give pundits their quotes
But (my friends) all he gives me is PAIN.
Haim 'one-issue' Saban tries to buy super delegates ie Young Democrats of America with $1 million to vote HRC at the conference.
what you could buy with $1 million, or even $130 million from the Kazakhstan uranium miners which was given to the Clinton trust fund recently.
link to Huffpo article on Haim Saban and the YDA offer (they could refuse)
I know this is off topic, but after reading this essay at huffington post, if there were ever a reason to impeach both Bush and Cheny, it is starring us in the face.
www.huffingtonpost.com
Dear Mr. Bush,
Your speech on the Knesset floor today was not only a disgrace; it was nothing short of treachery. Worse still, your exploitation of the Holocaust in a country carved out of the wounds of that very crime, in order to strike a low blow at American citizens whose politics differs from your own is unforgivable and unpardonable. Let me remind you, Mr. Bush, of your words today:
"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along," Bush said at Israel's 60th anniversary celebration in Jerusalem.
"We have heard this foolish delusion before," Bush said in remarks to Israel's parliament, the Knesset. "As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."
Well Mr. Bush, the only thing this comment lacked was a mirror and some historical facts. You want to discuss the crimes of Nazis against my family and millions of other families in Europe during World War II? Let me revive a favorite phrase of yours: Bring. It. On!
The All-American Nazi
Your family's fortune is built on the bones of the very people butchered by the Nazis, my family and the families of those in the Knesset who applauded you today:
WASHINGTON -- President Bush's grandfather was a director of a bank seized by the federal government because of its ties to a German industrialist who helped bankroll Adolf Hitler's rise to power, government documents show.
Prescott Bush was one of seven directors of Union Banking Corp. (search), a New York investment bank owned by a bank controlled by the Thyssen family, according to recently declassified National Archives documents reviewed by The Associated Press.
Fritz Thyssen was an early financial supporter of Hitler, whose Nazi party Thyssen believed was preferable to communism.
Andrew, you can't post an entire article like that in tje comment section---JA
With the Clintons and their trust fund, we are seeing clearly how the foreign lobbyists bypass the DC rules on domestic US politicians and PACs accepting foreign monies, it gets channeled through laundering domestic trusts first and 527s.
Andrew @ 13:
there are myriad crimes that Bushco ie GWB and Cheney could have or could be impeached,
but theres only a handful of Congresscritters pushing for this,
the others are scared and or dont want to rock the boat.
EVERYONE is a pundit NOW. *Sigh*
Atilla the Appeaser, Bitter Despot @ 8:
who are the ones on TV with big fat salarys and tenure for life.

Dobbs=Hillary?...I would have to say that one is still up for debate. I think Dobbs = 3rd party candidate.
Sorry to continue to be off topic but having just come across this i had to share it immeadiatly.
Vincent Bugliosi, the man who prosecuted Charles Manson:
[Vincent Bugliosi received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the L.A. County District Attorney's office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his classic, Helter Skelter, the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history.]
Has just written a book The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder and has writen an article.

There is a reason I no longer go to the Huffington Post. Must I have to deal with it here, too?

A lot of Congresscritter types tend to be lawyers or come from related backgrounds,

I know, law and ethics are annoying distractions.
McCain's Foreign policy is a danger to all Americans and the world and who does he plan appeasing next , who the hell is going to " talk to " next or deal with , Canada the State Sponsor of Hockey or maybe France the state sponsor of smelly cheese .

The whole dem process, a joke they call an election, stinks to high heaven.
Rewarding a candidate for losing by 40 freaking points with supers that have been bribed and corporate media and blog bias was anything but a fair and free election.
It was bs.
there are lots of other posts for talking about Bush war crimes etc... why do it here? So...moving this back to the topic at hand, let me again add to the list:
Jon Stewart=McCain

well, as long as it's important to you, I guess. However, my browser is capable of GOING to the Huffington Post IF I want to read it.
I think Andrew, that it would have been more appropriate to have posted a link to the Huffpo article instead of chewing up our host's bandwidth. See xoites post at 19 for example.
ferrofluid @ 26 said,

I say yeah your right...
people would have to examine each candidate closely,
and thats way too much to ask of the average american voter...
besides, its real convienient to just (blindly) vote along party lines.

Clay @ 33:
^^^^^^^^^^^THIS
Seriously John, just declare your support for Clinton and get it over with. This is clearly a "it's not FAIR to Hillary" post.
Please do this for everyone on every network. Keep a running list, and post it on every political blog possible. It would be interesting debate for those with differing opinions. It will likely also show the extent of Right-wing pundits and the lie of liberal bias in the media. It might even make the cockroaches scatter, and put pressure on the corporate media to hire real journalists that have some professional ethics/standards in the future.
Alright, anybody want to venture a guess who Russert supports? Matthews? Couric? Brian Williams? Limbaugh?
JR @ 32:
As a longtime fan of The Daily Show I'd have to say that JR is correct. Stewart is a comedian however and makes no pretense of impartiality. With regards to this site I'd say I could make a pretty good guess as to which staffers support which of the current candidates with the exception of Mr Amato who is particularly adept at keeping his cards close to his chest. I bet he wins at poker. Still the staff here have done a much better job collegially than the so-called professionals at maintaining impartiality. Given the rough waters we've been going through that is no mean achievement. Kudos to all.
Who the hell are these assholes to tell me what to think? Why should I give a shit what Chris Matthews or Spawn Insanity think? They're good for laughs, but not much else.
JR@32 said "Jon Stewart=Obama"
Peter G @38 said "As a longtime fan of The Daily Show I’d have to say that JR is correct. "
But Peter G you should have said, "As a longtime fan of The Daily Show I wish Jon Stewart was for Obama, but alas Stewart's non-stop, straight-talk John McCain ass-kissing makes it hard for me draw such a conclusion"
HDon @ 37:
I may start a "Pundit Watch" page soon to keep tabs on them. And as for who I support, it's the Dems over McCain...
u forgot...
THE HUFFINGTON POST (arianna, etc) = OBAMA
I heard coal equals diams if you put them under a mountain until the mountain washes away.
Then again you may think by name that i equal Obama.
Nope.
I just support him. :)

archmunster @ #40 --
Jon Stewart does nuance. Aparently you do not.
My predictions (Have shows or sub for hosts)
Blitzer = Hillary*
Matthews = Obama
Stewart = Obama*
Beck = Paul*
Dobbs = Someone White*
Russert = Obama
Stephanopolis = Hillary*
Gibson = McCain*
Couric = McCain
Williams = Obama
Cooper = Obama
Maddow = Obama*
Grace = McCain
* = Obvious
Only candidates still running were considered, non *'s are more of a leaning / guess / would vote for.
Obama's TV supporters (generally) tend to be less obvious and non-hostile / fair to others IMO. Hillary's tend to shill for her, McCain's tend to tear down other candidates.
archmunster @ 40:
If you watch The Daily Show on a regular basis, you would note that Jon Stewart undoubtedly hates Bush and his foreign policy. McCain's foreign policy if anything, is more militarily aggressive then Dumbya's. I'm sure, down inside, Stewart despises all neocons. I say Stewart kisses the ground Obama walks on.
abarts @ 29:
I have my browser house trained, Pounce and a rolled up newspaper keep it polite.
Commentator @ 46:
Blitzer = Hillary*
Matthews = Obama- I think Matthews may now be leaning towards Obama. Liked McCain.
Stewart = Obama*
Beck = Paul*- Big mistake Beck hates Paul, he thinks he's a nutcase.
Dobbs = Someone White* LOL!, but true
Russert = Obama No Way- McCain is his man
Stephanopolis = Hillary*
Gibson = McCain*
Couric = McCain - You're sick
Williams = Obama
Cooper = Obama
Maddow = Obama*

my choice is for sex, drugs and rock n roll
In Susan Morrison's book 'Thirty Ways of Looking at Hillary', Leslie Bennetts' "Beyond Gender" is the longest essay and also the last, so many will never get to it:
http://dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=103916&ru=279 ,
But it is a scathing, funny, thoughtful review of Hillary's career in the context of feminism's failure. I do think Hillary win herself. Because it's acceptable to attack a woman for being a woman, because sexism is still A-OKAY here in America.
JR @ 47:
Let's settle the argument and ask Jon Stewart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F12ndQmmdc0
I was basing the Beck/Paul thing off an hour long show /w Paul as his guest - it looked very lovey. Of course, I couldn't stand to watch more than a few minutes of it so I probably missed something. Beck tastes like burning, so I avoid him at all costs.
I don't watch Russert except when he's on MSNBC Special Coverage shows, but I always assumed he was kind of the "Village Idiot" who could, given enough time, piece together enough logic to get behind Obama. I didn't think he was the self serving evil type - but the more I think about it, his iconic position among the "Brain Dead Pundits" probably means he's a lot smarter than he looks. I stand corrected.
John Amato @ 41:
Seriously? This is a ludicrous premise, especially when you won't come out and declare your own leanings. This witchhunt mentality is the kind of thing I'd expect from Malkin or Townhall, but not from what I used to regard as a fine progressive news blog. If a reporter or presenter misrepresents facts, surely they should be taken to task. But to tacitly condemn or praise a television personality based on the candidate they favor is silly and a touch childish. If there are actual (and not vaguely percieved) biases they'll be apparent.
KO has lost me as a viewer by being so obviously and blatantly in the tank for BO, he once was one of the most credible newsmen on TV, but now that he's drank the Kool-aid, he's just another shill...
Travis @ 54:
Presumably you no longer regard this as a "fine progressive blog" because they don't agree with you 100%. Well there's lots of other blogs. Heck you could even start one of your own. In fact this blog has a very obvious declared bias towards democrats. You may have noticed that. This thread is about pundits who pretend to be unbiased as between Republicans and Democrats. This site has done a remarkably good job keeping a balance between the democratic candidates that both sides feel welcome to post, even the toxic nut jobs. Other sites, such as Huffpo and Kos have become nothing but ditto head sites.
archmunster @ 7:
Stewart likes McCain very much on a personal basis, but he's not a supporter of his politics. Jon Stewart is for Obama.
Commentator @ 53:
I despise Beck almost as much as Hannity. Beck is 100% neocon and masquerades as a libertarian. I watched the same show, but Beck bad-mouthed Paul ferociously prior to that show and decided to give Paul a fair shake and a whole hour. Paul's foreign policy is totally unacceptable to fear-mongering neocons like Beck.
I just don't see Russert as having a liberal bone in his body. Of course he could be just playing the center and be a closet liberal, but I don't think so.
I don't think there is anything wrong with blogs showing their support for one candidate or the other, unless they go overboard like Huffington Post. I supported Hillary during her reign then Huffington Post was beginning to get on my nerves. I now support Obama. I think most informed dems who are loyal to the cause of the Democratic Party will support Obama, meaning most liberal blogs......including this one. Come out of the closet, Amato!
OBAMA '08!!
Matthews = McCain. FACT. If you "think" anything else then you are deluded. Save this post and book it. 2 months from now, the twits that "think" Matthews = Obama, will be humiliated in defeat.
David M. Quintana @ 55:
But if he was a shill from Hillary, you wouldn't be whining. Hypocrite. Go run to faux, you're not needed on the left.
Without a doubt, the whores at all news media outlets, are against Hillary. They killed her campaign with constant nit picking, especially OverlyObamann. They all suck. When u all see the results Nov. 5th, look in the mirrror and say"WTF happened"? "WE should have had a lock on this, but oh no, you Hillary haters just were looking through rose colored glasses". By the way, before your continued vile comments to a Clinton supporter, I'll VOTE for Obama, in a losing cause.
----Peter G you should have said, “As a longtime fan of The Daily Show I wish Jon Stewart was for Obama, but alas Stewart’s non-stop, straight-talk John McCain ass-kissing makes it hard for me draw such a conclusion”
-----Let’s settle the argument and ask Jon Stewart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F12ndQmmdc0
OKAY, I watched the video and now i have to admit it...Jon Stewart loves him some McCain. Please tell me what part of that clip tells you that Stewart favors Obama to McCain. Maybe, just maybe, he loves them equally based on this clip...but if you look at the McCain/Stewart interviews you can only conclude that he "loves" "his good friend" John McCain (both of which he has said repeatedly on TDS). For god's sake, as he readily admits in this clip of yours, he thinks ultra conservative, right wing nut job McCain is non-partisan...
Stewart has done more for making McCain a palatable choice than any other pundit there is. ("If my American Idol, Jon Stewart, feels this way about McCain, maybe I oughta give him another look," --Mr. and Mrs. Right-Leaning Democrat). My only question is...why isn't Stewart on McCain's payroll?
Matthews I think is for Obama because he's popular. Matthews goes with the tide. If McCain suddenly becomes supercool, he'll be a solid McCain man.
Dobbs is in the tank for the Republicans, he just likes to pretend he's totally independent because it gives him credibility when he bashes Democrats and spouts racist propaganda.
Beck? LOL does anyone care? That guy make O'Reilly seem like a Classical philosopher. He'll probably write in Joseph Smith or something.
CNN American Morning's John Roberts has made several comments which make me think he's pretty fond of Ron Paul.
Olbermann is not really hiding that he's for Obama, but he also said he was originally for Hillary, until the campaign tactics of the Clintons became a little unsavory. As much as people complain about him being the evil Hillary hater, I think the reaction to him is a bit extreme. He liked Hillary, made sure he showed his gratitude to Hillary before getting into his Special Comment on Ferrarro, and when he had her on the show, he didn't exactly grill her. He let her do most of the talking and did no follow up questions. So I don't think he loathes Hillary, he just doesn't like the way her campaign has been run. And he's not the only Democrat who feels that way. *raises hand*
Russert is definitely a McCain man.
Dan Abrams is for Hillary.
Jon Stewart I think is for Obama, but he really does kiss McCain's ass WAY too much. I understand McCain is a friend of the Daily Show, but he doesn't need to be so soft on the guy. He makes comments frequently which add to this media-perpetuated myth that John McCain is an honest standup decent guy who would never do or say anything unsavory. That he's not like those OTHER politicians, when in fact, he's exactly like those other politicians.
Anderson Cooper I think is for Obama.
And, is anyone else depressed by the fact that they watch enough 24-hour cable news to make these assessments? *cries*
Olberman and Cafferty strike me as being fiercely against political dishonesty, so it is no surprise that they have been turned off by Hillary and drawn to Obama as this campaign season has drawn out.
On the other hand, Lou Dobbs is clearly an asshole, so it is no surprise that he has chosen Hillary.
getalife, I suggest you take your own advice. Bitterness in a loser is not attractive. To answer the question, yes, pundits should declare their alleigances and even their leanings. It would help keep the discussion honest.
Is there a reason why all male candidates are referred to by their last name and the female candidate by her first name? Language DOES matter. Language DOES reflect the beliefs and attitudes of the speaker / writer.
I don't know that KO is in love with Obama. But he sure don't like Hillary.
lorac @ 66 - Is there a reason why all male candidates are referred to by their last name and the female candidate by her first name?
Well, there was a previous Clinton that is still in the news. It is quicker and easier to be specific by using "Hillary". I typically hear Pelosi referred to as Pelosi. McKaskill, etc.
Yeah, language DOES matter. But stop seeing boogeymen (or boogeywomen) behind ever word.
JR @ 32:
How about, Jon Stewart, KO, and many others simply know how to do math. They can see what has happened, and they know what the delegate count says. The process has spoken. Let's move forward.
lorac @ 66:
This is so January.
Hillary's own campaign refers to her as Hillary to distinguish her from another prominent Clinton that you may have heard of, Bill. Let's keep up, people.
You say that Foxnews is for Mccain across the board which may be true, but why don't you also mention the over the top support that MSNBC is giving to Obama? Typical liberal B.S.
The media has been a deciding factor since the campaigns began. Take the 'debates' for example. It had already been decided by the media that Obama and Clinton would be the forerunners, thus, few if any questions of substance were directed to Biden, Dodd and Richardson. The citizens of the United States can thank the media for the current candidates. Given their fair due, any of the three aforementioned could and would have made it to the top. I only pray that Joe gets a shot at a cabinet post.
Actually on FOX you have Colmes, Juan Williams, Maura Lyason, Mort Kondracke, all voting for Democrats not to mention others. You've probably never watched only what you've been told.
When O'Rielly interviews Hillary, McCain or Obama (if he will ever keep his promise and come on) we actually learn something about the canidates, unlike the other puff piece adders. Where else did we learn Clinton will not go after the Sanctuary Cities or McCain will not drill for oil in ANWR?
With the masks of news people, these pundits, either beholding to their lord and master's political or religious convictions or their own closed minded egotistical selves. One side lies and spins about the other, while only putting the best foot forward for who they back. No wonder the U.S. public comes away with falsehoods and ignorant thoughts about each candidate. Everyone wants to say that the media is biased for liberals. That cannot be farther from the truth, not only the ones mentioned, Joe Scarborough is most pro republican (MSNBC), John Meier. Different stations have their pundits, but Fox is all the way republican. When they hire these neocons like Rove... and make statements that are just lies. Fox is the one station that I know of the is completely entrenched with the republican view of things. The rest seem to have pundits from both sides.
The Russert's have been democrats for generations and that includes Tim!
Pundits are T.V. ratings pushers with not alot of worthwhile info of their own. Fox has its republican slant HBO has its humor with Real Time, MSNBC is more to the Dems. The fact is the candidates we have to choose from are not that good. To be honest not one of these folks will do what is good for this country as they are all motivated by $. We have more headaches in this country than we can deal with and not one of them could truly solve one of them without screwing it up. Health care, education, a war we should not be in, and an economy going in the crapper faster than the dollar devalues. If you think anyone of these 3 goobers left to vote for are going to fix whats ailing us then worrying about what pundits thinks seems about right to be a topic of concern.
You are all off base in this election year. Politics is all about control. Never ever forget that. Those in charge of this so called nation of ours are the rich and powerful corporations. They want in charge not someone who is strong and tough like Harry Truman but someone like Barack Obama. And it is the young that seek the change and they are as I was once wooed by change. But guess what, they don't. The one who gets the attention is the one that can be manipulated the most and in this case Obama. Of all the candidates we can all agree he brings nothing to the table except hope. And hope can be dangerous. Look at JFK, WW3 was a wink away for we took the change and inexperienced. Why am I right? For the media and money is flowing one one directions, Obama he is the least exprerienced of all to sit in the oval office. And that is just what corporate America wants. McCain would be fine but Wars never did anyone good, So Hillary is the choice. For you forget real fast that Bill Clinton left this country is good shape and the Bush's have made a Reagan mess again. So lets say Hillary case is good on Florida and Michigan, she has the popular vote, and Obama has elected delagates. You know I heard a black commentator on Hardball say if Obama does not get nomination there will be race riots in the streets. Why is that allowed? Because of control. I leave you with this. You do not live a democracy for if that were the case we would revert back to popular vote. So the best to be controlled is going to win the money and bull shit award on speeches.
FNC all for McCain? How about Colmes, Rivera, Van Susteren to name a few who aren't. All you are telling us is that you have a conventional Democrat view of the FNC. Guess you better stop complaining about news bias.
I am shocked! CNN pundits and the mainstream media are all for the Democratic candidates??!!? DUH
All this could of been avoided if dumb ignorant America would vote for Ron Paul..We keep shooting ourselves in the foot as we have the same parties elected, either a Democrat or Republican..We always keep whining this isnt fair..Thats because we r chicken s--t to choose a 3rd party, a real choice for America..The District of Criminals have purged us enough..Why dont we have a real Independent..The media is govt. controlled, and dictates to u how to vote..I am in favor of a Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, in addition to Ron Paul, , Rob Barry,or Pastor Chuck Baldwin..
We must strengthen ourselves as a nation and take care of us the USA citizens..We need a strong economy, jobs created..Why r we giving our funds to foreign countries..We need Border Protection and stop the flow of illegals..We need our troops home and to protect us on these borders..There arent enough National Guards or border police to manage this..We need to go back to the gold back currency and throw out this worthless dollar..What a joke...It isnt to us..Lets get up and protest..Lets choose what Jesse Ventura says vote for 'None of the above' come November..
I stopped watching CNN and MSNBC and of course, I haven't watched Fox for years. Why tolerate their lies? Olbermann is a raging maniac. Matthews is a dumb clown. Russert is unreliable. And Jack Cafferty is just plain pathetic.
It is pretty much a no brainer that most celebrities, and the media have a deep seeded contempt for America. They will do anything to undermind her and try to form her into something that will destroy her. Liberalism hides behind many veils such as openmindedness, compassion, intellect and enlightenment. It will do anything it can to hide from the truth that it will be the undoing of all civilization.
Who cares what candidate the left wing infected media cronies support, the majority of them hate America and all that it stands for, and will stop at nothing to destroy it.
PUNDITS.....well let's just break the word apart....Pun= a play on words or usually a very bad joke. Dits=slang for someone who is not altogether with it. So, if we put them together why should anyone listen to these people. :)
I'm tired of the pundits and analysts and commentators who are more interested in making a name for themselves than they are in the news or their guests. I want to watch an interview that will be a good interview.. and that takes a journalist who is not blatantly there for their own self-promotion.
I still do not understand why the majority of the people do not want Hillary in office. We were all very happy when Bill led this country. So what is the problem? I hope Obama turns out the way you think he will for our sake. We cannot afford another blunder in this country. If Obama gets in and he turns out to be dead meat than all of the other countries will really look down on us. God forbid if McCain gets in. What a mess!
Acknowledging the risk of yet another law/regulation, major TV and Radio networks their affiliates and on camera or on air commentators should be required to proclaim thier political bias six months before the national elections
Tim Russert served as counselor in New York Governor Mario Cuomo's office in Albany in 1983 to 1984 and was chief of staff to Democratic Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan from 1977 to 1982.
