Your true wage
Media Matters
This is where Oliver is going to be working and I wish him all the best and I hope it's successful (hey, we're ideologically knocking heads, but that's just politics), but hopefully when he gets there he can let David Brock know that there is more to the world than Rush Limbaugh.
If you scroll down through the items, the majority of them cover El Rushbo. Don't get me wrong. There are some legitimate items they hit on and I like the blog format (though their design needs work. It's kind of sloppy in it's presentation and needs a more eye-catching format) which makes it easy to link to items, but focusing on Rush all the time would be like the Media Research Center every day going after Al Franken.
I've never liked him. It just sticks in my craw that a this man allowed a woman to drown while he scurried his drunk ass to shore and then used his political influence to cover it up.
He's been a hard core left winger since he became a United States Senator and he's often used some of the lowest political rhetoric that can be used by a man occupying such an office (his behavior during the Robert Bork nomination was a disgrace). It was bad enough when he started in with the "Iraq is Bush's Vietnam" bullshit, but his latest statements with regard to the prison abuse issue takes the cake.
The man is an absolute disgrace. It's as simple as that.
This is un-fucking-believable. A United States Senator actually compared what has happened in Abu Ghraib with the reign of terror Saddam Hussein inflicted upon his own people for almost 30 years. Does this man have no shame? Does he have no perspective?
That's a nice morale boost for the majority of troops over there who are doing good things Senator. Good job asshole.
UPDATE: Worse yet, you have some morons who are saying, "What should I be upset about?"
I mean, how are they able to see what they are typing with their heads so far up their asses?
UPDATE II: Josh makes the following comments and pretty much slaps away the people defending Kennedy's statement. I am posting them here because they deserve to be up front
