Loud noises!

Let there be no doubt that Matt Drudge is the world's biggest douchebag. The gigantic screamer headline above leads us to this ridiculousness, written by Drudge himself:

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Ethical firestorm? How is broadcasting from the White House an ethical firestorm? Even someone as thick as Drudge should know that every major press agency has a reporter INSIDE the White House every day reporting the, you know, news. Many of them -- GASP! Siren Light Animated GIF!!!! -- report live from inside the West Wing press room or on the front lawn.

By the way, remember when Fox News Channel's resident Monchichi Brett Baier did a whole thing from "inside the White House"?

O'Reilly, too. And then there were all of those Bush White House press releases that FOX News Channel aired verbatim.

But since Drudge is making a big pee-pee dance about this, expect all of the press to soon follow -- despite reality.

David Shuster takes Karl Rove to task for daring to accuse President Obama of misleading people. Rove seems to have forgotten about all that "catapulting of the propaganda" they did during the Bush years. Project much Karl?

John Amato:

The DNC released an ad called Pot. Kettle. Black about Rove after he, the one and only called President Obama " an arrogant guy' with Bill O'Reilly.

FOX uses him because he's a sleazy---propaganda machine--who would probably smear his own family members just out of habit, (I have no proof of that) but does the FOX audience actually respect Karl Rove as an analyst after what he's done to our country? OK, I'll rephrase....but does the FOX audience actually respect Karl Rove as an analyst after what he's done to the GOP? Fitzgerald chickened out indicting him. He's lucky he didn't have to get a pardon from Bush.

It's about time someone said it. David Shuster calls out serial adulterer and two-time divorcee Newt Gingrich for this Tweet:

It is sad to see notre dame invite president obama to give the commencement address Since his policies are so anti catholic values

Shuster's reply:

We learned today that Gingrich is converting to Catholicism in the weeks ahead. Amazing! He isn't even Catholic yet and he's already telling Notre Dame what to do. Mr. former-Speaker given the way you've led your life when you lecture anybody about upholding Catholic values, that's hypocrisy and it's wrong.

Shuster is right and Gingrich has no room to talk. Why this is not pointed out every time he opens his mouth about "family values" or any type of religious values is beyond me.

David Shuster calls out Michelle Bachmann for her double talk on earmarks. After claiming that she requested zero earmarks for her state Bachmann now admits she requested millions of dollars in earmarks, but now says she took them but it's not a big deal:

Bachmann: Well, the average earmark I think for the state of Minnesota for the members of Congress is somewhere around 70,000– $70 million, so mine is very, very small on that level and that’s in the first two years that was in. After I saw the way that the process worked, after being a freshman, I saw how corrupt it was and took an earmark pledge and that’s why I personally have no earmarks in the current budget bill and the stimulus bill that was passed this year.

As David Shuster notes:

Shuster: The problem is, that level is wrong. According to Legistorm in 2008 Minnesota's Congressional delegation delivered 158 earmarks costing $330 million. The average earmark from Minnesota members was not $70 million as Bachman claimed but $2.1 million which is less than the $3.7 million Bachman earmarked.

Congresswoman, when you insist that your record be put in perspective and then you mislead people about the record of your colleagues, that's hypocrisy, and it's wrong.

David Shuster takes Senate Republicans to task for their double talk on executive pay and bonuses.

Shuster: Senate Republicans we know it's unsettling to have so many of your constituents outraged and infuriated over something like AIG, but when you claim the government should stop these executive bonuses a month after saying that the government should butt out, that's hypocrisy, and it's wrong.

David Shuster takes Eric Cantor to task for getting his facts wrong during his interview on Meet the Press.

There is nothing in any bill about a train to Las Vegas. The stimulus bill does contain $8 billion for high speed rail projects but the entire pot of money goes to the Dept. of Transportation. The Secretary Ray LaHood, a Republican will decide how to spend the money. But there is nothing in the bill or any other referring to any particular train project or idea.

Congressman Cantor produced another apparent whopper while criticizing the budget. He said Republicans will offer an alternative.

.....

Wow! The Republicans are going to produce their own budget proposal except watch Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell on ABC's This Week.

.....

Oh those silly little procedures like producing an alternative budget. Clearly Senate Republicans are not interested in producing an alternative budget despite Congressman Cantor's claim.

Congressman Cantor when you highlight honesty and are dishonest in the very same interview that's hypocrisy, and it's wrong.
