The "that's not the Scott I knew" comment came up repeatedly today--Perino used it, too, as did Ari Fleischer when he was interviewed about why Doughboy wrote it on--wait for it--the Katie Couric show.
I love the fact that Katie basically admits to wanting to maintain access to the halls of power (as mentioned on the earlier thread), then she has Fleischer on and lets him hack away at McClellan with the softballs she pitches. At one point she asked him, "With all due respect, we've been hearing that statement, 'that's not the Scott we knew,' from a lot of people today. Did you get together and organize this?"
Fleischer: "Oh, no."

UK and US comedy Music hall Radio and TV has shared a lot of ideas and themes and to and froing, going back since WW2.
But the UK only had four terrestrial TV channels up into the 90s, then (SKY) satellite arrived, then cable TV in metro areas.
So on some nostalgia channel there prob is the old TV series, but not mainstream in the UK.
And the UK main channels only were allowed a 25% max import in the old days, so we only got the big modern American shows and they came bundled with film packages to the networks.
Now that I live in the US, my American wife would have a fit if I tried to watch old TV on HER TV, CIS L&O dominates etc yuck lol.

Did anyone see Jessica Yellin on Anderson Cooper? She said that at the time leading up to the war in Iraq, her corporate media bosses were pushing for their reporters to put out positive stories about the war and the Bush Administration.
The story from McClellan's book is not that Bush & Company are crooked (because most of us already knew this), it's the story of the media not doing its job. We knew this too, but hopefully this means the media will have show some more responsibility from here on out.
I want to know- the rules commitee/superdelegates can not influence VP picks can they? I'm very wary of Wes Clark right now. Beware of Hillary's side arm soldier. This whole Wasp nest is getting shook up pretty good right now, I worry they are going to get sting happy.
No military men for VP!
Beware- Trojan Horses.
Obama doesn't need them their anyway; the economy is the issue that will decide this election. Obama needs a Vice President who has been by his side since the beginning. Someone he can trust, most importantly; as well, someone who reflects his values, ethics, morals, and ideals. A VP who protects the people's interest and who doesn't profit off of corporate interests; Obama needs to find the anti-Cheney.
If he is worried about conservative, military minded and/or foreign policy based voters then he could promise and "leak" Hagel and Richardson SecDefense and SecState, respectively. Send that dynamic duo on a foreign policy based campaign tour.

question is, would he sit in a cabinet of a president that he basically disagrees with every policy save what to do in iraq and the mideast? if he can...then great
and no matter what...richardson must be sec of state...kerry is apparently vying for the post....but it must be richardson...and he must keep the goatee
It would be a shame if electronic copies of the book got passed around the blogosphere. Even though everyone would get to hear this coal mine canary's song, and it will be a very important song make no mistake; at least he wouldnt get make money off of it. Remember that the internet is the great equalizer.
Careful not to undervalue what this book means though. Yes, it is nothing that Liberals did not already know, but it is a clear confirmation from a NeoCon on the inside that the Liberals were just that- correct all along. Since the beginning. There is no more rearranging of deck chairs. The rats are bailing and this ship is finally sinking. Don't get me wrong however, McClellen is, and always will be, a rat; though he might be swimming, he can still bite if we aren't careful.
Sebelius is the Governor of Kansas, and she can't serve past 2010 anyway.
Webb(aside from my military VP anxiety) is not a good choice for VP for a few reasons. The chief one though, is that we are already losing one great Senator to the Presidency, which is outstanding, but it is at a time when we need to add to our Senate numbers. There was a question about having one Senator atop the ticket at the begining of both primaries, we certainly don't need to have two. Dems must keep all the strong arms they can in the House and Senate, that means you too Hill. There is alot of work to be done, and that is where the "fighters" need to be. Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Feingold, Webb we need everyone, and then some, in the next Congress.
With the exception of Richardson, by far the most experienced and qualified person to be President, no less Vice President, is Kathleen Sebelius. With her resume of State Representitive; an Insurance Commish who fought and won against the insurance companies; and as a two term, true blue Dem Gov. in a redder than red middle American state who recently stood up for voters and vetoed the Voter ID bill; you can see exactly what kind of success she brings.

Rupert Murdoch Says Obama Will Win
Posted May 29, 2008 | 01:20 AM (EST)
Carlsbad, CA -- Tonight at the "All Things Digital" conference sponsored by the Wall Street Journal. Rupert Murdoch -- Chairman of News Corp, new WSJ owner, and longtime torchbearer for conservative politics -- said this about Barack Obama: "He is a rock star. I love what he is saying about education. I think he will win and I am anxious to meet him."
About the presumptive Republican nominee, Murdoch said, "McCain is a friend of mine. But I think he's got a lot of problems. He has been in Congress a long time, and you have to make a lot of compromises. So what's he really stand for?... I think he has a lot of problems."
More on Murdoch's speech from Silicon Alley Insider.
---------------------------
be vewy afwaid when murdoch says he likes your candidate!
On May 29, 1917, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, American 35th president , was born. Following his death on Nov. 22, 1963, his obituary appeared in The Times.
Toppling Bush was a huge mistake, he was not a threat as we now know, and Iraq is now broken. Americans were too easily whipped into a frenzy by damned manipulative zionists in Washington with waaay too much influence over a gullible whitehouse. Dear God please may this never happen again.
Toppling Saddam not Bush.

Quote of the Day: Bloomberg on The Tragic Lag Between What We Know and What We Do - http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/05/bloomberg-on-climate-change.php
"There is a tragic lag between what we know and what we do. For example, in the 1950s, the head of the American Cancer Society and other respected scientists were already linking smoking and cancer.
And as early as the 1970s, researchers predicted that increased greenhouse gas production was accelerating global warming, with the potentially catastrophic consequences that are playing out now, all over the world. Yet policy makers failed to heed these warnings.
Why? Far too often, it’s because of what I call ‘political science’ – the willingness to disregard or suppress scientific findings when they don’t conform to a pre-determined political agenda."

The World Is No Longer Flat - http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/05/shipping-costs-making-the-world-...
Tom Friedman wrote "The World is Flat", suggesting that globalization had leveled the playing field between industrial and emerging countries. Jeff Rubin of CIBC World Markets suggests that this is perhaps changing because of the cost of fuel.
The cost of shipping a 40 foot container from Shanghai to the east coast of North America has gone from $3,000 in 2000 to $8,000 because of the cost of fuel, and for many products, the Asian cost advantage has virtually disappeared.
“In a world of triple-digit oil prices, distance costs money,” write Jeff Rubin of CIBC World Markets. “And while trade liberalization and technology may have flattened the world, rising transport prices will once again make it rounder.”
On your Markey, Rep. Ed Markey unveils ambitious new climate legislation - http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2008/5/28/144819/588
"It's been a free ride for polluters," said Markey, in a speech delivered at the Center for American Progress. "For those of us who want a safe climate, the iCAP bill I'm introducing is the market correction we've been waiting for."
But if Congress does move this legislation, said Markey, "historians will look back on the beginning of this new millennium and say that it was an era of technological development that in the course of a generation changed the course of the planet."

While warrantless wiretapping and the subversion of law is bad enough, the question inevitably arises: what other programs are being hidden from the American people?
Fuel protests rage as global solution urged - http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSL2842178620080528
The pain of soaring oil prices provoked new protests in Europe on Wednesday, and Britain called for "global solutions" to the energy crisis. Bulgarian truck drivers rallied, following the lead of British and French truckers and French fishermen in a wave of demonstrations and blockades by groups which say fuel costs threaten their livelihoods.
The U.S. will see that when $5/gallon gas is a reality this summer...and Big Oil, OPEC, Saudi Arabia, & Bush/Cheney Crime Family will be laughing all the way to the bank...
If the MSM talking heads learned any lessons in their "complicity" in the run up to the invasion of Iraq, you would think that you would see more guest who have a differing view on Iran on their programs....LIKE FLYNT LEVERETT AT THE NEW AMERICA FOUNDATION, OR PROFESSOR JUAN COLE, OR SCOTT RITTER. Anyone witnessing any of these folks on Katie Couric, Brian Williams or Chris Matthews programs? Hell no.
Because now all we are hearing about is election election election.
Anyone see Professor Norman Finkelstein on any of their programs. Finkelstein an outspoken advocate of fair and balanced U.S. policies in regard to the Israeli Palestinian conflict was arrested and banned from going into Israel for 10 years. Did Katie Couric have him on her program?
Glenn Greenwald over at Salon has written about this issue. Anyone else seeing anything in the MSM about this. Hey Matthews will your producers allow Norman Finkelstein on your program (hello Dan Abrams are ever going to allow another perspective on)

Israel imposes a 10-year ban on American critic of Israeli policies
(updated below - Update II - Update III - Update IV)
On Friday, Israeli security forces, Shin Bet, detained Norman Finkelstein when he tried to enter Israel, kept him in an airport holding cell for 24 hours, ordered him deported from the country, and then imposed a 10-year ban on his entry. Finkelstein, the son of a Holocaust survivor, is a Jewish-American author and academic who has frequently criticized the Israeli Government and provoked extreme animosity among right-wing factions in the U.S. He had flown to Israel 15 times previously without incident and was never charged with, let alone convicted of, any crime.
