		<description>Talking about soft balls, I don&#039;t remember Dana having a problim with white house shill and Karl Rove Boy Toy jeff Gannon asking his questions,  Hypocracy is endemic in the MSM that the right laments when they are questioned about their bathing and deoderant problems.  What sensitive fellows they prove to be.  Prima Donnas!</description>

		<description>hanshiro @111 -
thanks!
i caught that too - you say it very well:
&lt;em&gt;
Apparently Milbank missed the slam entirely. As I understand Boehlert&#039;s point, Milbank criticized Pitney within hours of asking a single question, but Gannon, a fake journalist with a fake name and phony journo credentials for two years since 2003, operated openly right under Milbank&#039;s nose without Milbank making a peep, until another organization exposed Gannon.&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>&lt;em&gt;wiley Says:
Katy, you nailed something [...] the worst attributes of our cultural male principle and the worst of the female principle.
&lt;strong&gt;&quot;dickish-pussy&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;

wiley - a long time ago the &quot;elders&quot; here got into a discussion about using that word - pussy - because it could be sexist.

it COULD.

but not in MY case.

i use it EXCLUSIVELY as a description of one who is afraid,
a &#039;scaredy cat&#039;, hence, a &#039;pussy&#039;... 

any other use of the word, except as it relates to felines,
is untoward and you won&#039;t hear it from me...
MY word of choice to refer to female genitalia is &#039;twat&#039;.

which is why i get annoyed with those who confuse the words
&#039;twit&#039; and &#039;twat&#039;... twits and idjits - same thing...

just sayin&#039;...</description>

On to better news, it looks like the bible quack has found a church!

Now, in an unexpected move, Obama has told White House aides that instead of joining a congregation in Washington, D.C., he will follow in George W. Bush&#039;s footsteps and make his primary place of worship Evergreen Chapel.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;qmslager Says:. . . I always find these watch lists disappointing, especially from the political right as they tend to be guided by the bias of those who w&quot;right&quot; them. As a person who likes facts I would think you&#039;d rather quote actual facts rather than a package handed to you by some group supported by a right wing fundamentalist church leader. And many times you do, so I will just chalk this up to accidental misinformation and not intentional disservice to the cause of truth.&lt;/em&gt;

And what a &lt;em&gt;shock&lt;/em&gt; that RepublicansLoveFacts failed to respond to this post. I appreciate the time and thoughtfulness that went into your message, qmslager.

Unfortunately, truth, facts, and reality often get in the way of one&#039;s long-held, pre-conceived notions.

Wayyyyyy too disturbing to open one&#039;s mind to new information. Muuuuuuuch easier to just call names and deny the truth.</description>

		<description>Pitney certainly did more than hold his own in that exchange. He got a heavy dig in on Milbanks rotten coverage of the lead up to the invasion of Iraq and he easily shot down Milbank by pointing out that his question was not a softball question. More proof can be gleaned from the fact that it was Milbank who did the name calling. Let&#039;s see how this plays out on MSNBC tonight. I am sure it will have coverage.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s something that wants clarifying:

Milbank, on his insufferable &#039;Washington Sketch,&#039; claims that he did coverage on Jeff Gannon extensively.

There&#039;s just one problem, as I read it. Here is the salient excerpt on Milbank&#039;s &#039;Sketch:&#039;

&lt;blockquote&gt;The left got all stirred up by my column, naturally enough, by the Huffington Post. My favorite bit of outrage was from one Eric Boehlert writing for the liberal website Media Matters (UPDATED: Why the Village is so mad at Nico Pitney):

&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Within hours of online writer Nico Pitney asking a single question at a WH presser, the WashPost&#039;s Milbank swooped into action, loudly mocking Pitney&#039;s involvement as being terribly troubling and phony. But please note that in 2005 when it was revealed that right-wing partisan &lt;em&gt;James Guckert had been waved into the WH press room nearly 200 times without proper credentials, wrote under an alias (Jeff Gannon)&lt;/em&gt;, and asked Bush officials softball questions, Milbank remained mum.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;

Oh? I did a quick Nexis search and found transcripts of four segments I did on Gannon on Countdown with Keith Olbermann and Hardball with Chris Matthews. I was doing so much Gannon coverage that when Keith introduced me as a Post reporter one evening, I joked: &quot;I am also your Jeff Gannon correspondent.&quot; Replied Keith: &quot;That`s true -- I`m sure that`s at the head of your resume.&quot;

Actually, Boehlert didn&#039;t need a Nexis account to find this out. He could have looked at his own website&#039;s account from 2005 (&quot;Media Matters,&quot; week ending February 11, 2005; by Jamison Foser)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Apparently Milbank missed the slam entirely. As I understand Boehlert&#039;s point, Milbank criticized Pitney &lt;em&gt;within hours&lt;/em&gt; of asking a single question, but Gannon, a fake journalist with a fake name and phony journo credentials &lt;em&gt;for two years &lt;strong&gt;since 2003,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; operated openly right under Milbank&#039;s nose without Milbank making a peep, until &lt;em&gt;another&lt;/em&gt; organization exposed Gannon.

That&#039;s some investigative instincts on Milbank&#039;s part.

Two &lt;em&gt;years.&lt;/em&gt;

Milbank is evidently unable to connect any dots whatsoever unless someone else either does it &lt;em&gt;for&lt;/em&gt; him or, as in Pitney&#039;s case, Milbank fills in his own dots to satisfy a predetermined suspicion...

<p>That&#8217;s some investigative instincts on Milbank&#8217;s part.</p>
<p>Two <em>years.</em></p>
<p>Milbank is evidently unable to connect any dots whatsoever unless someone else either does it <em>for</em> him or, as in Pitney&#8217;s case, Milbank fills in his own dots to satisfy a predetermined suspicion&#8230;</p>

		<description>qmslager has an excellent point about Republicans Love Facts (ironic name, that one. LOL.). Where are all the missing days and guests? That&#039;s the first point. But the second is this: so what if Olbermann has a plethora of Democratic guests? He is only on one hour a day during the week. Faux News spews their unedited Republican talking points 24/7! I think that Olbermann is a drop in the bucket compared to Faux&#039;s GOP propaganda machine, the hosts of which, when they have Democrats on as &quot;guests&quot; proceed to shout them down, frown at them, talk over them, cut their mics, etc. Some way to treat your &quot;guests!&quot; My mother would be appalled, but she doesn&#039;t watch Faux.</description>

		<description>Republicans Blow Goats for food.

Do either of the original losers where you lifted the list know you are lifting their work without credit to them?

You lifted an Oct 7, 2008 blog post that refers to another loser.

In the ultimate case, the credit goes to Mark Koldys. Loser blogger with 3 regulars and a homosexual obsession with Keith Olbermann. This idiot started collecting his list on May 22, 2006, with the latest entry on Feb 26, 2009.

For a CEO/Managing Editor/Internet marketing/new media consultant to be charging an hourly rate (all prices are negotiable) of $50.00 an hour, I see being a CEO is not what it used to be.

And the October 2008 post, a grand total of ZERO tweets and ZERO replies.

The new moniker fits you quite well:

		<description>Katy, you nailed something I&#039;ve been pondering today. The Bush administration, neo-cons, and most Republican statesmen and pundits manifest the worst attributes of our cultural male principle and the worst of the female principle. 

&quot;dickish-pussy&quot; 

like you say

Sure it would be great if we could see a critical mass of the best of both in our culture, but it would be a profound improvement to dilute that negative...geistgechichte? of dickish-pussiness in half.

BTW, I wonder if this cussing among these pundits lately isn&#039;t a symptom of their study of blogs.</description>

Joe the Plunger what?

Charlie Krauthammer and Fox&#039;s alternative reality why?

Seriously, why is anyone giving any attention to the sore losers?

They keep using their straw man argument of the LBRUL MEDIA.

For all the years Fox and the BU$HWIPES had unrestricted access to the Chimp&#039;s W.H., they kept whining all along.
