ThinkProgress: Too Hot For CNN

See for yourself:

Watch the video (QT Streaming)

Here’s the transcript:

The blogs have been checking into Michael Brown’s background, really just after Hurricane Katrina, and that is something not lost on Michael Brown himself. He actually mentioned a blog during testimony today before the congressional committee. We’ve covered over the name of the blog because it has kind of a bad word in it, but this is from ThinkProgress.org, Brown talking about the blog that looked into his background with the horse association.

Here’s a link to the original, uncensored, post.

  1. Jon says:

    An under-reported aspect of the Michael Brown story is the comparison of FEMA’s 2004 performance in hurricane-ravaged Florida with its 2005 Katrina disaster.

    What a difference a year makes, especially when it’s an election year in a swing state governed by the President’s brother. From millions in FEMA payouts in Miami-Dade County (not hit by the four hurricanes) to paying for hundreds of non-storm related funerals statewide, Michael Brown’s FEMA helped carry Florida for Bush in 2004.

    For the details, see:

    “FEMA: Florida Election Management Agency.”

    Goddamnit, “ass” is not even close to one of the 7 dirty words you can’t say on TV! But this is our country tipping ever closer to the Fractured States of Bibleland.


  3. Zookeeper says:

    Naughty, ThinkProgress…


  4. Zookeeper says:

    I think it’s so funny that CNN does this blog report. It’s like an “us” and “them” thing.


  5. Anti Warhol says:

    So, you can say horsesass.org under oath in front of a congressional panel of publicly elected officials, but not on a basic cable channel that I privately pay for?

    Will Sen. Silverback call for Drownie to pay the FCC fine for bad language?


  6. David B says:

    #4, yea, blogs will probably get busted along with porn sites when the religious ultra left conservatives get around to it.


  7. SpudgeBoy says:

    Fvck them and their uptight rules about telling us we can’t say sh!t. Their just a bunch of puss!es that can’t stand a little harsh language. What a b!tch. Can’t she just leave people alone and let us talk however the fvck we want?

    :)


  8. Skid says:

    FCC can’t touch CNN anyway. Those “blogger-girls” are so tepid in any sort of topic “annalysis” it’s apparent why they are even on the set. Move over weather girls, here comes the blogger-babes!


  9. Ryan Neat says:

    I think some of those words may have been posted by me :)

    Glad to know I’m too hot for CNN, because their tepid coverage of anything useful leaves me cold!


  10. Say No To Trolls says:

    CNN = Hores’s Ass


  11. Say No To Trolls says:

    Whores’s ass? Whatever? Media Whores On-line!


  12. Concerned Citizen says:

    See guys, we do make a difference…the majority of americans (save trolls) actually know it’s time for this SHAM of an “Adminsitration” to go…


  13. Navy Vet says:

    What they should have said was the south end of a horse going north. Nothing dirty there unless your mind is in the gutter. Hows that for spin?


  14. Patriot says:

    CNN’s blog segment is the only real news they have.


  15. spyder says:

    One of the pleasures of living out here in the Northwest, is that there are several very excellent blogs, that encourage forthright political and philosophical discussion; horsesass is just one of them. Please use the following link to sample some of the others that are around here.

  16. wisedup says:

    that word is in the bible… ‘He mounted his ass,and rode away’….a donkey! ok,how about ‘horsesdonkey.com


  17. Goldy at HorsesAss.org says:

    Well, thanks to sites like Think Progress, the MSM hasn’t been able to hide my blog from the public, just because it has the word “ass” in the domain name. I really appreciate the link.

    “Politics as unusual.”


  18. Marie says:

    #15, Nice blog outlet, spyder. Thanks.
    Isn’t it ironic that Brown said “horses ass” on tv, and in the hearing room, but CNN censored it.
    CNN is having an identity crisis.


  19. good vibes says:

    its all just really really humorous!


  20. Ryan Neat says:

    I love the name ‘horsesass’, there couldn’t be a better description for virtually every member of GeezassW’s inept coup d’etat!


  21. pixel says:

    If Jesus rode into town riding on an ass, then that must definitely be a word too dirty for CNN to use. I hope they cover their ears at mass when that reading from the Gospel comes up.


  22. Constant says:

    One of those, “They’re talking about what they want the world to ignore.”
