President Bush has renominated Kenneth Tomlinson
as chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG). In August, a State Dept. inspector general’s report showed that Tomlinson had abused his position by using BBG resources to support his personal horse racing operation and receiving compensation that exceeded the maximum allowed by law.

November 15th, 2006 at 12:03 pmBipartisanship, baby!!!
November 15th, 2006 at 12:04 pmThat ought to go over like a lead balloon.
November 15th, 2006 at 12:05 pmYes, thank you for reminding us why you got your ass kicked in the mid-terms, Dubya. But, it’s only been a week now. We haven’t forgotten, yet.

Perfect candidate for the job if I must say so, has all the required qualifications for the Bush admin.
November 15th, 2006 at 12:10 pmOff topic,
To all trolls, especially MA:
I saw the Jack Murtha FBI tape from ages ago, and he refused the 50,000 dollar bribe. I don’t care for what reason, he refused it. Maybe the reason Jack gave was to appease the “bad guys” as a believable reason. Bottom line, he refused a bribe, and was never charged with anything.
Do you still want to accuse Murtha of being corrupt?

November 15th, 2006 at 12:14 pmBush leaves us no choice. The only solution is impeachment.

That’s illegal in Washington State — now.

GWB is a persistent little prick, isn’t he?

“Dense” would be another word for it.
November 15th, 2006 at 12:35 pmI’m really beginning to think that the BIGGEST THING that floats this president’s boat is to give the American people the finger in as many ways possible. This is a finger in the eye of the Progressives and Democrats. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE LOSER HE IS. I JUST CANNOT STAND MUCH MORE OF HIM.
November 15th, 2006 at 12:37 pmRules? He don’t need no steenkin’ rules!
November 15th, 2006 at 12:39 pmTomlinson is a lot like Armstrong Williams.
Too much like him, in fact.
Heckuva job, W.
November 15th, 2006 at 12:45 pmYou could f*ck up free beer.
S - I second that emotion!!! This is just another way Bush is telling us that he intends to do whatever he wants and has no intention of giving up any ground whatsoever.
November 15th, 2006 at 1:11 pmYeah Margaret……..and he LIKES IT. I mean I really think he’s in a particular dysfunctional dance with the American people–among other things. He gets a perverse kick out of thumbing his nose at us. I keep thinking of the picture of his daughter sticking out her tongue at the photographers as she sped by in the limo. Seriously. We’re talking Juvenile mental illness here.
November 15th, 2006 at 1:27 pmIt’s so depressing when we win a fight and have to fight it all over again.
November 15th, 2006 at 1:47 pmI don’t know the rule on this situation, does the nomination carry any weight or is it just W expressing his preference? Does it have to pass a vote somewhere?
Can we influence the decision in any way?
I miss real TV…
And radio…
November 15th, 2006 at 1:47 pmSo I guess he’ll be our first smackdown in the new congress.

I believe it needs confirmation from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

What the Hell is it with this Administration and Equestrians ??
November 15th, 2006 at 4:05 pm#7, these guys beat, choke and abuse women..they love horses because they are the horse’s ass.
November 15th, 2006 at 4:28 pmI thought Tomlinson was gone!
November 15th, 2006 at 6:25 pmI wrote to my local PBS channel and refused to make my usual donation, saying they’d get nothing from me until Tomlinson was gone.
Now, after charges of corruption, Bush defies the public again and again nominates him for the BBG.
Tomlinson should have to find himself a place in the unemployment line. Bush is incorrigible - he has to go.
Let’s see him try.
