OH it is a frist.... a frist.....

Atrios,
You do so have an idea how a ...well, not a responsible journalist, but how someone could spin Lamont's letter into that article.
You obviously underestimate the power of the Clenis.
a third....... a third? do I hear a number 3?
Its always Clenis' fault.
Whew, someone putting out more bullshit about Ned.
Who'd have thought it could happen?
What's left of the NYT needs to have its pee-pee whacked.
Holy crap. If there were journalism licenses, his would be revoked.
Total misrepresentation of Lamont's letter. Total whoring for Joementum.
Fuq the Ol' Grey Lady!
Bailiff,
Take my gavel and whack NYT's pee-pee.
I'm busy countin and res ipsa loquitur is reading........ see being uninformed and ignorant can get you first outside the White House too.........
Don't even need a warrant to whack.
It looks like Assrocket has a new definition of "Republican" which probably excludes "leftists" like Maverick, the former Mr Liz Taylor and Lindsay Graham who won't let Chimpy torture people
Then a Senate committee puts out a report that airbrushes history, leaving out the most important evidence of links between Iraq and al Qaeda, for the sole purpose of making a Republican administration look bad. I think it's really important to work hard to get a Republican majority in the Senate, so the Dems won't be able to pull stunts like these!

Oh, so the New York Clenis misrepresented the position of a Democratic politician to advance their agenda?

i.e., leaving out the shit the Chimpster made up.
This is the Times' usual have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too procedure, and reflects decisions made at the highest levels of the corporation.
Endorse Lamont, and then bury him.
There hasn't been an honest Republican, either politician or voter, since Eisenhower. Anyone with that R next to their name has a questionable morality and an unquenchable gullibility. Republicans are stupid fools, all of them. All of them. That includes Lieberman.
If a politician or candidate won't voluntarily provide you with "gotcha!" material, you hafta make your own.
It's in the "spirit" of Ned's letter, but might not be the complete and utter truth.
I either need to shit, or there's another bible verse troll approaching the blog; not sure which.
Looks like Lieberman's listening to his Republican handlers. When you can't run on the issues, bring up the fact that your opponent is a Rich, Ivy League, Liberal Elite, and make up shit about what he did - or did not do - in the past. Sell it to the media because we all know they won't do any factchecking.
Wow....the letter is totally taken out of context by the NYT article....sheesh.
Great letter, shitty article.

Assrockets is really pissed the rubes wouldn't fall for the hokum.
The letter totally conforms with what Lamont said about HoJo this week. Damn the slipping standards at the NYT.
The full press media is on. Just like before shrubs invasion, just like before last mid term elections and just like before last pResidential elections.
The full court press is on to distort and disgust voters into either staying home in disgust or going out in Fundamentalist masses.......
'Cause anything in the world can be made up and put into print. That's all that's required to know.
I'm much more outraged by Lamont's use of the neologism 'alot'. The rest - well, the rest seems to indicate that we've returned to the good old days of penny dreadfuls and sensation without attribution. I don't expect Teddy Roosevelt to clean up anything however - in this world McKinley is still the goto guy, Tammany is still in charge and the fix is in.

You liberal losers should be grumpy because your party is against the 1st Admendment. Your recent complaints about the path to 09/11 shows all Americans that you can dish it out, but you can't take it.
See you at the polls in November, when you lose again...
Sniffs..ewww there's something in the air
The letter won't load for me for some reason - I have the heading and a big gray box afterwards.
I can get the gist -
When are the grown-ups going to notice that Osama doesn't need al Jazeera when he's got Chimpy? From this morning's radio address
Osama bin Laden has called the 9/11 attacks, "A great step towards the unity of Muslims and establishing the righteous [Caliphate]." Al Qaeda and its allies reject any possibility of coexistence with those they call "infidels." Hear the words of Osama bin Laden: "Death is better than living on this earth with the unbelievers amongst us."
Certainly this is the kind of thing Calame was hired to write about. It's pretty clear-cut--bad journalism.
Lamont is a sharp mother. That letter was great.
Ah, dith/augs/whoever is back.
And which of his many loser personalities is in the ascendant today?
Gummo,
Are you and Mrs. G in on 10-06?
Prithee what is this most important evidence?
NTodd's stuff over at Joe's site is pretty amusing.
OT--
Rather ironic that the soldiers fighting to maintain our access to oil are finding that alternative energy sources are a better idea:
Memo to Pentagon brass from the top United States commander in western Iraq: Renewable energy — solar and wind-power generators — urgently needed to help win the fight. Send soon.
Calling for more energy in the middle of oil-rich Iraq might sound odd to some. But not to Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Richard Zilmer, whose deputies on July 25 sent the Pentagon a "Priority 1" request for "a self-sustainable energy solution" including "solar panels and wind turbines."
The memo may be the first time a frontline commander has called for renewable-energy backup in battle. Indeed, it underscores the urgency: Without renewable power, U.S. forces "will remain unnecessarily exposed" and will "continue to accrue preventable ... serious and grave casualties," the memo says.
Apparently, the brass is heeding that call. The U.S. Army's Rapid Equipping Force (REF), which speeds frontline requests, is "expected soon" to begin welcoming proposals from companies to build and ship to Iraq 183 frontline renewable-energy power stations, an REF spokesman confirms. The stations would use a mix of solar and wind power to augment diesel generators at U.S. outposts, the spokesman says.
You know, I really can't tell the difference between a real Auggy and a bad parody.

I prefer dime novels and Tijuana bibles.
Aug's, your ability to miss the point is still stunning. What I object to is abc conflating "The Path to 9/11" with the 9/11 Commission Report, which they have done in their advertising repeatedly. And fictionalizing historical events that can be shown never to have happened. The piece of crap can say anything they want it to say,
but don't tart it up as history, cuz it's not.
This calls for a special issue of National Journal and a conference on blogger ethics...

There, fixed your typos.
Ya notice how, when the TV heads talked about the Senate committee report, they never mentioned that Republicans control the committee? Seems relevant somehow, especially considering the Republican chairman's dissenting opinion. Oh well.
As for the times, maybe they've got some YWAM/Leadership Institute grads on the payroll...
but what is True is that the Clinton Administration didn't do shit about OBL

Wow. That is deliberately misleading. I'll file Jennifer Medina into the hacks-to-be-ignored bin.

Have you heard about the graphic novel derived from the report? Sounds very interesting and worthwhile.
I'm sure our uninvited guest showed the same righteous anger when "The Reagans" was yanked from CBS.
Lamont misspelled "a lot" - he isn't fit for office!
but what is True is that the Clinton Administration didn't do shit about OBL

plantsman, lowercase
It should be remembered that trying to argue facts with The Aug is like trying to debate the facts with The Rainman:
"Oh, Wheel of Fortune is coming on, yeah, it's 5 PM . . ."
"But, Ray, the GOP blocked Clinton on OBL!"
"5 PM, Wheel of Fortune, yeah, coming on--"
Y'know, Atrios, I just reread the text of the post & the letter and I don't know why you're upset:
The usual NY Clenis coverage is 180 degrees from the truth. This one is 170 degrees from the truth.
It has 10 degrees more truthiness!

Then a Senate committee puts out a report that airbrushes history, leaving out the most important evidence of links between Iraq and al Qaeda,
-----------
Evil Tweety was on duty yesterday, and did his best to marginalize the report. He said it was the conclusion of Democrats on the committee, who got one or two Republicans to join them.
In fact, ALL committee members, with the sole exception of Trent Lott, signed off on the bombshell conclusion: that Iraq “did not have a relationship, harbor or even turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi and his associates,”
Tweety neglected to mention that, as recently as Aug. 21, President Bush said at a news conference that Mr. Hussein “had relations with Zarqawi.’’

Update:
Jesus, it's worse than I thought. It appears that the NY Times wasn't only having fun rolling around in Clinton's pants. Lieberman has now miraculously "turned up" a letter that Lamont wrote him back in 1998 which he and the Times are blatantly misrepresenting as some sort of agreement with Joe's speech when it is nothing of the sort. Did a little birdie whisper in Ann Kornblut's and Jennifer Medina's ears that they should grill Lamont about Lewinsky? Sure looks that way.

A commander-in-chief should not need to worry about the other party, when our country is under attack. Face it, Gummo, you're friend Bubba failed. His failures resulted in Vice President Gore's loss in 2000.

Acting like a psychosexually obsessed stalker of Bill Clinton has become imprinted in the New York Times's DNA.
Is there an issue where they can't drag in the Great Blowjob Affair? In Alessandra Stanley's shameful review of "The Path to 9/11" not only did she repeat the lie that the Clinton administration was too distracted by Monicagate to fight terrorism, but she helpfully provides a link to the Times' complete Monica archives.
After all this time, the New York Times still has to keep picking at this scab? Even when talking about 9/11? NYT peddles Monica reprints and blames Bill for 9/11.
Clinton's failures to stop Radical Islamo Fascist resulted in Gores loss in 2000.

I think it's really important to work hard to get a Republican majority in the Senate, so the Dems won't be able to pull stunts like these!
--------------
A Dem stunt? Sadly, no:
"Several Republicans strongly dissented on the report with conclusions about the Iraqi National Congress, saying they overstated the role that the exile group had played in the prewar intelligence assessments about Iraq. But the committee overwhelmingly approved the other report, with only one Republican senator voting against it."
Lott was the only holdout. Even Orrin Hatch, Pat Roberts, and Saxby fucking Chambliss agreed that Iraq “did not have a relationship, harbor or even turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi and his associates.”
I guess the people don't know yet that the BJ era was just a pleasant amusement compared to the hell that is ahead for them.

'cause the paper of record is trying to revive Monicagate for the midterm elections.
Will the Democrats bring suit? Will they claim libel? And what judge would grant a restraining order before the fact?
Clinton is not totally outraged. He otherwise would call Iger or Mitchell privately and ask for the program's withdrawal; and that would be followed by other private calls from Reid and Pelosi warning ABC of terrible consequences if the program goes as planned.
And when will some industrious fact-finer discover where the $40 million program's cost came from?
Clinton's failures to stop Radical Islamo Fascist resulted in Gores loss in 2000.
Gore got more votes than le Petit Prance. Gore "lost" because of the Electoral College (an anti-democratic institution set up to control the will of the masses) and a slim majority on the Supreme Court, who were so ashamed of the ruling that they wrote in its conclusions that it could not be cited as precedent in any other case.

Thank God Maureen Dowd does. I don't necessarily agree witrh everything she says in "The Unslammed Phone" but she has a more balanced view of this ABC controversy than most.

BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has sought to bolster ties with the United States since she took office, rebuked Washington on Saturday for sanctioning secret CIA prisons used to interrogate terror suspects.
ADVERTISEMENT
"The use of such prisons is not compatible with my understanding of the rule of law," Merkel said in Berlin.
President Bush admitted this week the CIA had run detention centers at secret overseas locations, months after reports surfaced that the intelligence agency had used Europe as a hub to shuttle suspects around for interrogation.
Merkel said even in the fight against terrorism, such means did not justify the ends and that other solutions must be found.
"(Instead) we must find answers to how we can combat terrorists effectively without calling our fundamental principles and beliefs in question," she said.
Wait a minute.....is it really Clinton's fault that Bush the Lesser is such a horrible president?
It all becomes clear....

Clinton, 8 years--2 attacks (WTC I, Oklahoma City) perpetrators brought to justice, less than 200 dead. Republican dominated Senate blocks substantive foreign policy response, but still terrorism is kept under control.
Bush, 8 months--WTC II attacks, over 3,000 dead. Five years later, perpetrators are not brought to justice, but roughly 100,000 civilians and 2,600 American soldiers are killed in misguided war against unrelated political enemy. Also operates secret gulag where prisoners are kept and tortured, but no useful information is generated. Mission accomplished, fuckwad.
It's a great letter. Why could't the paper of record just print the whole thing?
It would require too much ink.

Clinton's Penis
Yes, New York Times, we know you're obsessed. Still, we imagine that at some point you'd become a bit ashamed of that obsession and try to hide it. It really isn't very flattering.
Without clicking on the link, I went through this thought process: "The reason that the NYT hates the Clintons so much is that they didn't come from insider Washington and therefore were not part of the Kool Kidz Klub. If Ned Lamont were to run for president in 2008 and win the Democratic nomination, they would do the same thing to him that they did to Clinton."
Then I click on the link to Digby and find out that the article was about Lamont. Either I'm psychic and need to buy a lottery ticket or the NYT is utterly predictable. I vote for the latter, although I will buy a lottery ticket.
"The argument over which president is to blame for 9/11 is tiresome. Both obviously bear some blame. There are no West Wing heroes in this story."
More bullshit from MoDo teh Dodo.
Ok, Aug's, you indecent piece of shit who's too dull to learn how to use a fucking apostrophe, riddle me this:
What possible excuse can you concoct for Bush not taking the very simple expedient of having someone on staff type up a fucking memo to circulate to the heads of the different intell agencies following the August 6 PDB entitled "bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside U.S."? You know, some simple boilerplate instructing the heads of said agencies to circulate a memo to all agency employees, instructing them to immediately forward straight to the top any information connected to Middle Eastern types about which they were aware which looked to them in any way suspicious?
What's the fucking excuse for not doing that, Aug's? It's not like it would have been HARD TO DO...all it would have taken is just a minute amount of SERIOUSNESS ABOUT THE THREAT. Which was in very short supply, obviously, in the Bush administration. Taking just this ONE SIMPLE STEP might have entirely foiled the plot, because those at the top would have been made aware of the flight training.
So what's the excuse for not doing it, you insufferable piece of dung? You can't on the one hand argue that "Clinton did nothing" when he in fact brought to justice those responsible for several attacks and stopped other attacks from occuring - while at the same time ignoring the fact that Bush couldn't even be bothered to instruct anyone to type up and circulate a simple fucking MEMO.
History will record George W. Bush as a man too stupid, too lazy, and too cavalier about the office of president to bother circulating a fucking memo. How do you like those apples, Aug's?
And again, learn how to use a fucking apostrophe, you illiterate piece of shit.

Several former girlfriends have testified that Clinton's penis is tiny.

It's not the size that counts. That's what I've been told. LOL
Clinton, 8 years--2 attacks (WTC I, Oklahoma City) perpetrators brought to justice, less than 200 dead. Republican dominated Senate blocks substantive foreign policy response, but still terrorism is kept under control.
If you dumb-fucks believe this, your as stupid as I thought. Let's see Terrorism under control. What about the kobar towers? What about the us embasy's in africa? What about the bombing of the uss cole?
If that's under control, no wonder you freaks can't win an election.

And yet, the perps of those were nailed, too. Not only that, but the Millennium Plot was prevented.
Now how about the State Department's own report that terrorism has risen dramatically under Bush? If that's under control, no wonder you're so fucking scared of the 2006 election.

Obviously the lieberscheise camp released the letter, it wouldn't be a stretch for them to go ahead and write the story they wanted to go with it.
"His campaign manager, Tom Swan, did not address the content of the message, but said in response: “It is clear that Senator Lieberman would prefer to try to cloud Ned’s statements from eight years ago, instead of talking about the important issues of national security, the war in Iraq and health care. It is shocking to see that his Senate staff, at taxpayer expense, is spending their time trying to make up dirt on Ned Lamont.”
Am I the only one who cringes when Bush refers to "homeland?" Gives me Nazi shudders.
Bush has always had problems hiding the fact he'd like to be a dictator.
"Homeland," "heartland," it's all the same rhetorical trick -- setting up an Us v. Them mindset.
In the case of "heartland," it's about setting the anti-American right-wing extremist Bush base against the majority of patriotic Americans.
Lieberman was just jealous, more than anything he wanted to stick his shrivled little schmuck in Monica's gaping maw.

My Candidate, NTodd, has never written Joe Lieberman a letter of support.
My Candidate, NTodd, has never gorged on kitties. Snacked, perhaps, maybe even noshed. But never gorged. Can Joe Lieberman make the same claim?
In short, My Candidate, NTodd, is clearly a superior candidate, and I urge you to vote for NTodd in the Connecticut Senate race in November. You do not need to be a resident of Connecticut, or of Vermont, to vote for NTodd, or to eat an eclair.

Besides, it tells you what he'd do if we were invaded: Retreat to Kansas and burn both coasts to the ground.
Ned's letter to Joe reads like the worst weasely I-want-to-be-on-both-sides-of-this-issue cowardly clap-trap.
That is Ned's problem: he come's off as a lightweight who will take any position that is convenient. This episode does him no favors, no matter how much you think it is all so easily explained away.
I especially liked the part where Ned decries the morality of the media channels coming into his home. Hey, Stupid! You OWN the media channels!
But here is the real question: What are you guys gonna do when Joe wins? The wingnuts are counting on you splitting off for an anti-war party. Will you guys support the choice of the Connecticut voters when Joe wins in November?

- ignoring the warnings of Richard Clarke, Joe Wilson (the man Poppy called an American hero) and others all the way up to and through 9/11/01

The bottom line:
- Clinton had an admirable record of forceful response to terrorism, despite constant hamstringing by a shortsighted Republican Congress.
- Bush is a failure. Period.
Class dismissed.
Ned's letter to Joe reads like the worst weasely I-want-to-be-on-both-sides-of-this-issue cowardly clap-trap.
No, it reads exactly like a lot of Americans' thinking at the time.
But here is the real question: What are you guys gonna do when Joe wins?
Let's put a wager on it, then we'll talk.
Well, the rationale behind the dramatizations in Path to 9/11 has surfaced: apparently it's a boring, badly-written and badly-filmed movie.
So to spice things up, they had to dramatize certain things to add interest.
And obviously, you can't dramatize meetings that never took place, actions that were never taken, or plans that were never made.
So the only place where there was room for dramatization was in the parts that deal with the Clinton administration. Because they were the only ones who actually held meetings, took actions, or made plans.
See, it's all been just a huge misunderstanding.
I don't know about the anthrax, but You Gave Me the Clap.
Sorry. I thought I'd gotten the right meds.
So Tena, I can count on your vote in November?

The Big Lie
The airwaves, the printing press, (and pretty soon the Internet if we're not careful) are owned by a select few corporations. Today's media is a commodity. The free exchange of ideas has been all but squelched by monied interests.
So, when one of these monied interests sponsors a fictionalized, inaccurate and misleading account of a very critical time in recent history, on the eve of the midterm elections, it is about propoganda and and not "free speech."
This is a very different issue from an average protester burning an American flag, for example. Individuals who practice free speech (albeit in a way that is offensive to some) do NOT own the airwaves, do not stand to be enriched by ownership of the airwaves, and are not in a position to hold sway over the American populace.
Those who think this is about a media conglomerate's "right" to "freedom of speech" are completely misunderstanding the difference between David and Goliath.
But here is the real question: What are you guys gonna do when Joe wins?

NYT is as traitorius as ABC or Lieberman for that matter. This showing of filed fangs by the paper is beneficial in a sense that it shows and reminds us Lieberman was even at that time a defacto republican and expected a reward for his segment of the number to be done on this country's citizen's heads, just as Delay and Abramoff, california's Jerry Lewis and the rest of the syndicated racketeers expected to be allowed to pull the train on the Statue Of Liberty because they could and "oh wouldnt it be cool".

Jeffraham --
I feel your pain. Last night no one would even acknowledge my existence *sniff*.
Dear Ms. Medina,
I just read your article titled "Lieberman Points Out a Turnabout by Lamont", and then read the actual email by Ned Lamont that accompanies your article on the on-line version of the NYT. Your article creates an impression of the thrust of Mr. Lamont's original note to Mr. Lieberman that is completely contradicted by a reading of the actual email.
Is it your sense, on reflection, that a reading of your article is likely to convey a fair impression of Mr. Lamont's email to a reader who does not independently assess the email itself? I would respectfully suggest that the answer is, clearly not. Even if not by design, your article is the functional equivalent of a Lieberman campaign press release.
I am not accusing you of deliberate bias. Rather, I am respectfully requesting that you be more careful and diligent in analyzing the material that you write about in this election cycle. It is not enough to confirm the accuracy of a quotation brought to your attention by a rival political campaign -- you must also take care to independently assess the "frame" in which the quotation is presented to you. In this case, your article misleads readers by presenting an accurate quotation in a misleading frame -- that is, by misleading readers about the overall content of the email from which the quote was clipped.
I would appreciate the courtesy of a reply.
Respectfully,

Um... who reads the NYTimes??? And why?
The caterwauling over this or that media distortion always strikes me as wasted effort, because the real battle is against the underlying corporate authoritarian state, not against GWB or the Republithugs or Fox News. Hard to fight without risking jail or worse, politics won't do it. Unless we're willing to opt out of the system completely, we can't change it, because WE are IT... Can you live without electronics, credit cards, equity, and depending on someone else to grow and produce your food? Hah. Me neither, unfortunately, yet these are aspects of the way of life killing the planet and our souls.
Basically this means nothing will change until the country augers into the ground, which appears to be underway in any case. I'll be just as upset or dead as everybody else when that happens, of course. Interesting times. I think we need to go deep and learn what really matters. If just a few succeed, the survivors can at least ask them later just what the hell happened.
Campfire tales, you might say.
I'm serious folks. I too am sick of this back and forth on "Clinton did NOTHING" bullshit.
Every time this bullshit canard is raised, there should be one and only one response:
"Name one action that the Bush administration took to try to prevent terrorist attacks. Just one."
That's the amazing thing; there isn't even ONE thing they did. Not a single thing. And just as in auto accidents, while there may be several contributing circumstances, the blame for the accident ultimately rests with the driver who had the last clear chance to avoid the accident.
In this case, it would be the Bush administration. And they not only ignored that "last clear chance", the historical record shows that they didn't even have their eyes on the fucking road at the time it occured.
So to recap, the response to each and every wingnut bullshit criticism/blame of Clinton for 9/11 begins and ends with: "Name one action the Bush administration took to try to prevent terrorist attacks. Just one."
But here is the real question: What are you guys gonna do when Joe--

Medina's been pretty good on this race most of the time, but I have no idea how a responsible journalist could spin Lamont's letter into that article.
Sometimes you have to write the story your editor and publisher want rather than the story you have. It could be real uncomfortable for the head of the New Yuck Times to have those monthly board meetings with a member of the Carlyle Group if he was actually publishing news about the liar and thief and his enablers.
"Name one action that the Bush administration took to try to prevent terrorist attacks. Just one."
or, in fact, to make the country better in any way.

Arrest threat over police gnome
The gnome was bought to deter thieves says Gordon MacKillop
Police have taken a dim view of a man's glowing garden gnome and threatened him with arrest unless he removes it.
The solar-powered policeman figure stands sentinel in the garden of Gordon MacKillop's home in Treovis, near Liskeard.
His neighbour, former policeman John McLean, says the gnome is annoying and upsets buyers viewing his home.
Now police have served Mr MacKillop with a notice for "placing a garden gnome with intent to cause harassment".

Did you know that Path to 9/11 will be shown on the BBC tomorrow? VERY disappointing
(from AmericBlog)
Will Clinton, Berger and Albright threaten the BBC with a libel suit?
As you know, the BBC is planning to show Disney/ABC's defamatory "Path to 9/11" program in the UK on Sunday. I'm told by a friend that under UK libel laws there is no public person defense and damages and costs can both be in the millions. And, "British libel laws are considered pro-plaintiff, meaning that the defendant must prove that she or he did not commit libel."
My friend notes, and I agree, that if the BBC were to receive a letter like the one that Clinton's lawyer, Berger, and Albright sent to ABC, the BBC legal department would likely be in a state of high panic. The chances are that they would yank the program immediately.
If the BBC were to do that it would be much harder for ABC to show the program and if they did they would find it much harder to claim that it was based on fact.
Yes, it would be very interesting if someone who knows Clinton, Berger and Albright suggested this to them.

Medina is either a complete idiot or a shill for HoJo. How can anyone with a brain say there's a discrepancy between the email and his recent remarks?
Mature adults would have handled this privately, not turned it into a political crusade and legal entanglement with no end in sight.
You have expressed your outrage about the president's conduct; now stand up and use your moral authority to put an end to this snowballing mess....
It’s time for you to make up your mind and speak your mind as you did so eloquently last Thursday.
This is a carrot and a stick approach; qualified praise for past action and pointed advice for action that should have been taken already. How can this seem to anyone but a simpleton to be in conflict with the criticism that HoJo helped to create a media circus? Medina doesn't even mention Lamont's earlier criticism of the public aspect of the proceedings. How does what Lamont earlier says about the way mature adults should deal with this situation conflict with his recent remarks:
You don’t go to the floor of the Senate and turn this into a media spectacle. You go up there, you sit down with one of your oldest friends and say you’re embarrassing yourself, you’re embarrassing your presidency, you’re embarrassing your family, and it’s got to stop.
Medina's account reads like that of a bad undergraduate essay--displaying a stunning inability to understand nuance, and not terribly subtle nuance. Of course, HoJo's original response completely ignores the critical advice in Lamont's email, as did his later action. And it is part of his present political strategy to obliterate this aspect of history. But to allow yourself to become an unquestioning mouthpiece for such politically expedient sophistry is to fail completely in the principal responsibility of journalism.
You know, this ABC thing might be kind of useful if we can make the point that Clinton did act on terrorism and Bush did not.

Mission Accomplished
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's Shi'ite prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, will make his first official visit on Monday to neighboring Shi'ite Iran, whose influence in Iraq is a matter of concern in Washington.
Iraq and non-Arab Iran fought a war in the 1980s under Saddam Hussein's Sunni-dominated rule. But ties have warmed since Iraq's Shi'ite majority won elections, unsettling Iraq's minority Sunni Arabs and many Sunni-dominated states distrustful of the influence of Tehran's Shi'ite clerical establishment.

Regarding Media
ABC follows a path to shame
September 9, 2006
SURVEYING the smoking ruin that is ABC's reputation after the "The Path to 9/11" debacle, it's hard to know whether you're looking at the consequence of unadulterated folly or of a calculated strategy that turned out to be too clever by half.
At the end of the day, it probably doesn't make much difference because, either way, the lacerating controversy surrounding the network's docu-dramatic re-creation of events leading to Sept. 11 is an entirely self-inflicted wound. For most of the week, ABC rather haughtily attempted to characterize itself as the victim of philistines, or self-righteously as a champion of free speech or, more pathetically, as just plain misunderstood by people who just don't understand how television is done.
It is none of those things.
It's an opportunistic and self-interested organization that somehow thought it could approach the most wrenching American tragedy since Pearl Harbor with the values that prevail among network television executives — the sort of ad hoc ethics that would make a streetwalker blush — and that nobody would mind.
That part of this whole shabby sequence of events is the hardest to fathom. It's well understood, of course, that docudramas are seldom documentary and only sporadically dramatic. As a rule, they're basically devices to free unimaginative writers from the burden of having to make up characters' names. You simply appropriate the names of real people, then make them do whatever attention-getting thing fills the allotted time.
But did the people who run ABC Entertainment — the network division directly responsible for this mess — really believe that Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger would watch themselves on television doing and saying thing they never did or said and not object? When these fictional incidents were portrayed as contributing to the deaths of nearly 3,000 innocent people, did they think that the former Clinton administration officials and others so caricatured simply would shrug and say, "Well, that's dramatic license for you?" Did they really expect anyone to accept the preposterous notion that — as some at the network argued this week — the film's facts were wrong, but its "essence" was true? These people really need to get out more.
What am I "on notice" for?

“I supported your statement because Clinton’s behavior was outrageous: a Democrat had to stand up and state as much, and I hoped that your statement was the beginning of the end...”
-Neddy Lamont
Lamont is just another lying piece of shit hypocrite. I am through trying to make excuses for this mega-millionaire. His decision to spend his adult life as a member of a whites-only country club was the first clear sign that something was very wrong with this individual. Now, his endorsement of Loserman's rebike of Clinton on the Senate floor is the final straw. I have been used (I actually donated money to this creep) and will never again allow myself to be an enabler for a member of the super-rich. His kind lives by a diferent set of rules than the rest of us and it is always us, not them, who must face the consequences of their misdeeds.
In short: FUCK OFF NED LAMONT!

Good, I want to see a picture of Thers flapping below a 8x8 foot sled kite, with the children below giggling.
Because I'm bored: my letter to the local ABC affiliate:
Dear Mr. Nicholson,
I'm writing in regard to the controversial mini-series that ABC plans to air this Sunday and Monday, and to encourage you to consider pre-empting the series unless the factual errors it contains are corrected. I don't particularly expect that you will, given that KATV's first-ever on-air political endorsement was for George W. Bush, but I'll tell you why you should: because of people like me.
I haven't tuned in to your station - ever - since you made that endorsement. Prior to that time, KATV was my choice for local news. But I wasn't a supporter of George W. Bush, and I didn't think it was appropriate for your station to use the publicly-owned airwaves to recommend to me that I vote for him. As it turns out, I was right - the country would have been much better off under a Gore presidency, as the majority of Arkansans who disagree with the president now see.
So obviously I'm not writing to make any threat about dropping my viewing of your programming, because I did that way back in 2000. But you should consider whether there are others out there like me for whom the airing of this work of partisan propaganda might be the final straw. I understand that the endorsement of Bush was made as a "business" decision. But unlike the president, for whom apparently nothing is just cause for changing his mind, at some point you need to question whether the "business decision" to continue supporting Bush makes any sense from a business perspective, when it is costing you viewers. And make no mistake, this program is intended to bolster the president's standing. Airing it constitutes a reiteration of your support not only for the president, but for the many bad decisions he has made and refuses to reconsider.
Aside from that, it's simply offensive and immoral to smear people with suggestions that they acted cowardly in situations which never actually occured. I have no problem with depicting things that actually occured, regardless of how it reflects upon the participants. But making things up to try to demonize people and destroy their reputations among viewers who do not know the actual facts is reprehensible and perhaps legally actionable as well. I know that many of your viewers, like me, would find your participation in such an agenda repellant and unforgiveable.
And there are a lot more people out here who think the way I do now than there were in 2000.
Do I seem like someone with "Crazy NY Spinster Cat Lady" potential?
replace "NY" with "Montréal" and you got me!
The NYT endorsed Lamont in the primary - why are they spinning Lamont's letter this way?

Somebody has probably said this by now, but:
The media loves a winner. They turned on Bush only recently, after it became his demise in the polls was not a fluke.
Lieberman is touted as leading in the polls, and he's the incumbent. Of course the media is going to suck up to him.
But, if the polls are right and Lieberman wins, so does the electorate. What you gonna do with folks like that?

killings down in iraq, next week killings will go down even futher when executions are excluded from death tally.
"BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. officials, seeking a way to measure the results of a program aimed at decreasing violence in Baghdad, aren't counting scores of dead killed in car bombings and mortar attacks as victims of the country's sectarian violence.
In a distinction previously undisclosed, U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Barry Johnson said Friday that the United States is including in its tabulations of sectarian violence only deaths of individuals killed in drive-by shootings or by torture and execution."

Totally OT: When did the US government start withdrawing troops from Afghanistan? When did NATO take over? Maybe that's what Bush wants to talk about Monday. I think this Disney thing is another "look over there" moment. I just read about the withdrawal of US troops in the Guardian. Where are the headlines in the US newspapers?

This is one of those days when I feel great pressure to be outdoors -- summer waning and all that.
Yesterday was our company's First Annual Golf "Tournament". There's a reason for the scare quotes around 'tournament', as 2/3s of the participants were not golfers... including me. There's a few sunburn cases today. Townies.
I lost 8 balls and hit 4 trees.
On the upside, the golf course sends this little cart around the course selling snacks and alcoholic beverages. Some things *have* improved since my dad tried to make me his caddy three decades ago. That plus the "shot hole" definitely put a "gloss" on the experience.

Kean, in an interview Friday, continued to defend the movie as a "first-class project," adding that although the filmmakers took the recent criticisms seriously and made adjustments when warranted, much of the hostile reaction was political grandstanding from partisans who had seen little if any of the film. "That’s the blogosphere, frankly," Kean said of the controversy.
Oh, it’s the "blogosphere," is it? Just a bunch of liberal, partisan rabble rousers, eh? Hmmm…perhaps Mr. Kean should speak with JPod at the NYPost (NOT a liberal). Or Chris Wallace on Fox News (also NOT a liberal). Or Bill Bennett on CNN. (Really NOT a liberal.) Or Richard Miniter (who is not only NOT a liberal, I never, ever thought I would be quoting him in any sort of manner whatsoever). Or Brent Bozell on MSNBC. (Again, really NOT a liberal.)

In New Letter, Clinton's Lawyers Demands ABC Yank Film
By Greg Sargent | bio
On Friday evening, Bill Clinton's lawyers sent a new letter to ABC chief Bob Iger demanding that ABC yank "The Path to 9/11." We've obtained a copy of the letter, and it reads in part: "As a nation, we need to be focused on preventing another attack, not fictionalizing the last one for television ratings.

The Gray Old Lying Coot.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a big turnaround from a year ago, the U.S. Army will achieve its 2006 goal of 80,000 new soldiers despite lingering reluctance by some potential recruits to join amid the Iraq war, officials said on Friday.
Adding recruiters, sweetening enlistment bonuses, accepting older volunteers and even tolerating more tattoos helped the active-duty Army rebound from fiscal-year 2005 when it fell almost 7,000 recruits short of 80,000, officials said.
"We will make our 80,000 mission (for new recruits) for the fiscal year," said Maj. Gen. Sean Byrne, the Army's director of personnel management. Fiscal 2006 ends on September 30.
But some defense experts argued the Army, which provides the bulk of ground forces in Iraq, had been able to make its goal only by taking lower-quality volunteers who previously might have been rejected.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has applied for a U.S. visa, according to State Department officials.
The fiery leader plans to attend the U.N. General Assembly meetings in New York later this month. Official says that the application, which was submitted last month, is going through the normal processing procedure.
Ahmadinejad is known for his controversial rhetoric. He has called the holocaust a "myth" and has stated that Israel will one day be destroyed. Jewish organizations have already begun planning protests to take place outside the U.N. Headquarters during Ahmadinejad's visit.
Because he is visiting for the U.N. meetings in late September, the application is being processed with the "U.N. Headquarters Agreement" in consideration, which allows for visits for government officials who want to visit the U.N. in New York.

Will Clinton, Berger and Albright threaten the BBC with a libel suit?
by John in DC - 9/09/2006 12:48:00 AM
As you know, the BBC is planning to show Disney/ABC's defamatory "Path to 9/11" program in the UK on Sunday. I'm told by a friend that under UK libel laws there is no public person defense and damages and costs can both be in the millions. And, "British libel laws are considered pro-plaintiff, meaning that the defendant must prove that she or he did not commit libel."
My friend notes, and I agree, that if the BBC were to receive a letter like the one that Clinton's lawyer, Berger, and Albright sent to ABC, the BBC legal department would likely be in a state of high panic. The chances are that they would yank the program immediately.
If the BBC were to do that it would be much harder for ABC to show the program and if they did they would find it much harder to claim that it was based on fact.
Yes, it would be very interesting if someone who knows Clinton, Berger and Albright suggested this to them.

Are you talking about the Raygun movie that was cancelled or the supreme court that voted in favor of shrub in gore v bush?
"That’s the blogosphere, frankly," Kean said of the controversy.
Such a nice, easy, convenient dismissal tool.
Fuckwit.
I have been used (I actually donated money to this creep)
what an idiot. don't you research candidates before you decide to support them? i do.
"Dear Mr. Kean,
Consider the following scenario for a moment: a filmmaker decides to make a film about the 9/11 Commission hearings. Because the subject matter is inherently slow-moving, in order to make the film interesting, the filmmaker decides to "dramatize" some aspects of the topic. One of the areas where he takes "dramatic license" is the scene where the Commission is haggling out what will go into the final report. To dramatize the scene, the actor portraying you is shown making political threats to commission members who won't agree to your version of what the report should say. Your character is also shown accepting bribes from outside sources who want to influence the content of the final report.
You aren't given the opportunity to preview the movie, which is scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of the terrorist attacks and is being heavily promoted to attract millions of viewers, many of whom will have limited familiarity with the actual commission, its meetings, or its report. These viewers will come away from the broadcast with the impression that you conducted yourself dishonestly and criminally in your role with the 9/11 commission.
And also, your co-chair Lee Hamilton served as a consultant for the producers of the movie, and he has been out heavily promoting it and pooh-poohing all criticisms that it's not ok to make up things that slander people for the sake of "dramatic license."
Because you are a man of principle, and because we already know your stance with regard to similar circumstances with The Path to 9/11, we can be confident that should the scenario depicted above ever occur, you would just shrug your shoulders and say, "it's not a big deal; it's just a movie".
Right?"
And...tell me ...who on the right is threatening to shut down a network because of a movie they did not like?

Ask CBS.
CBS executives, who declined to be identified by name, denied that they were capitulating to pressure from Republicans and conservative groups in moving "The Reagans" to the pay cable channel Showtime, a sister network at Viacom. The decision, they argued, was instead "a moral call," reached after concluding that the four-hour television movie carried a liberal political agenda and treated the Reagans unfairly.

And don't forget that Bush didn't make a single mistake during his first term (he said so during the debates). So we've got to pro-rate all his fuck-ups across two years, which amounts to at least one major fuck-up a day.
Not like the Stalinsist-Fascist Way the Dems are using.
Stalinism and fascism are not compatible even if you were more specific about fascism. But explain the difference and provide the source for this talking point.

"Stalinist" isn't even spelled correctly.
If they're going to call us names, they should at least spell them right.
True, that. It is a tedious sort of pathology, isn't it?
rorschach
Yeah it is.
I loved my dad dearly, but whenever he and Mom would have a disagreement over some fact, and Mom would prove her side with the dictionary or encyclopedia, Dad would invariably say that the source was wrong. That was one of Dad's most childish traits.
That is the Right in a nutshell.
Out batses - gotta get dressed and go downtown.

You should read the actual decision some time. It's a quintessential small-government, "conservative" decision which defers to States' Rights.

C'mon, jac...you don't really think are trolls are all that good are reading comprehension, do you?
It was nothing more than a victory by citizens over a leftist propaganda machine..you know the American Way?

Where in that article is someone threatening to shut down the network?
Who is threatening to "shut down" ABC? Fuck off, moron.
Rightards hated the Reagan pic cause it depicted the use of astrolgers and stuff, didn't they? You know, unflattering stuff that happened to be true.
And...tell me ...who on the right is threatening to shut down a network because of a movie they did not like?
Oh, you mean like with the Reagan documentary? Let me see if I can summarize the cogent political arguments of the conservative community with regard to that particular piece of historical fiction. If I remember correctly, it went something like this: LIBERAL MEDIA LIBERAL MEDIA LIBERAL MEDIA LIBERAL MEDIA LIBERAL MEDIA LIBERAL MEDIA LIBERAL MEDIA LIBERAL MEDIA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Thanks Dr. Wu. You have completely reinforced my point that no political and/or fascist police action would be attempted.
By the way...are you really just the shadow of a man that I once knew?
He gave a rousing speech--obviously the opening of his campaign to run again for the presidency.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I love the way dipshit cannot refute anyone who replies to his crap... he just goes onto some other crap... as if a pile of crap means something.

Journalists fired for taking gov't money
MIAMI - Ten South Florida journalists, including three with The Miami Herald's Spanish-language sister paper, received thousands of dollars from the federal government for their work on radio and TV programming aimed at undermining Fidel
Castro's communist regime, the Herald reported Friday.Pablo Alfonso, who reports on Cuba and wrote an opinion column for El Nuevo Herald, was paid almost $175,000 since 2001 to host shows on Radio and TV Marti, U.S. government programs that promote democracy in Cuba, according to government documents obtained by The Miami Herald.
Olga Connor, a freelance reporter who wrote about Cuban culture for El Nuevo Herald, received about $71,000 from the U.S. Office of Cuba Broadcasting, and staff reporter Wilfredo Cancio Isla, who covered the Cuban exile community and politics, was paid almost $15,000 in the last five years, the Herald said.
The newspaper said Alfonso and Cancio were fired and Connor's freelance relationship was severed.

Yo, fuckfuck - Stalinism and Fascism are diametrically opposed. That means they are polar opposites.
Before you come on here and school us, I suggest you at least attempt to understand the subjects to which you refer.

isn't that what Pskychyatrists call "projection"?
Dad would invariably say that the source was wrong. That was one of Dad's most childish traits.
The whole "more accurate insider info" rationale seems to be a powerful tool in the minds of the Repugs.

Good one from TBogg:
Just a reminder that Monday is Patriot Day, a totally made-up holiday where the citizens of the United States are asked to lower the flag to half-mast and observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. eastern daylight time.
Sleeping Americans on the west coast, where it will be 5:46 a.m., are requested to avoid snoring. In the event of unplanned "morning sex", it should be sad and grim and silent, in the manner best described by sex therapists as "Republican sex".
Your cooperation is appreciated.

It was just a matter of time before Godwin's law became applicable to Washington, and not just the internets.
I'm watching The Age Of Innocence.
Beautiful movie but the actresses didn't measure up to Daniel Day Lewis so it feels kinda flat.

MY take on that is "Well, I know what I know and I think you're full of shit!"
"Where in that article is someone threatening to shut down the network?"
If they allow this to be seen they ought to be shut down.
I would rather discuss Lennon (http://www.johnlennon.com/) and Marx (http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/

It was good, passionate at times, as passionate as John can get. Set out a 5-point plan for moving the country in another direction.

It's projection. He means Stalinism and Hitlerism but is too stupid to know it. Whoever told him to harp on that point also knows the one thing they have in common. I'm waiting for dipshit to realize what it is.
Sure wish Kerry had talked like this when it mattered for him.

very funny, dipshit. pretending someone would bother to steal your name.
from Think Progress just now:
Rumsfeld forbade post-war planning for Iraq.
According to Brig. Gen. Mark Scheid, in 2003, Rumsfeld said “he would fire the next person” who talked about the need for a post-war plan. “The secretary of defense continued to push on us that everything we write in our plan has to be the idea that we are going to go in, we’re going to take out the regime, and then we’re going to leave,” Scheid said. “We won’t stay.” 12:37 pm |
