Cable’s worst network, MSNBC, the official network of the Democrat National Committee, went Category 5 stupid yesterday when Dan Abrams interrupted the coverage of Gustav Monday afternoon just as the levees were being over-topped to advance a lie.
Abrams breathlessly repeated an erroneous Associated Press story that indicated McCain’s Vice Presidential Nominee Gov. Sarah Palin had just hired an attorney to represent her in an ethics investigation in Alaska. Palin had actually hired the lawyer two weeks earlier, before she was offered the Vice Presidential spot, according to Abrams hurried disclaimer a short time later.
The not-so-subtle implication was that Palin was conspiring to dump more bad news into the day’s busy news cycle, a technique perfected by the Clintons during their scandal-thon days of the 90’s.
Earlier in the day, the news broke that Palin’s 17-year-old unmarried daughter was pregnant, when suddenly the liberal media, with their pro-abortion views and permissive attitudes toward public decency, suddenly became as prudish as a 19th-century schoolmarm. Even Barack Obama, the beneficiary of the fawning and obsequious coverage by the MSM, was grossed-out by the coverage.
No doubt, Gov. Palin’s daughter would have risked less press scrutiny is she’d simply had an abortion, turned lesbian, advocated CNG and wind power and starting touring with Madonnna. For his part, McCain is, shall we say, ready to open up a can of whoop-ass.
Because they are so out of touch and anxious to torch the Alaska governor, the press is missing the criticism many Republican women are voicing about Palin: should she have turned down the offer with an infant special needs child and a pregnant 17 year old at home? It’s plain to see that radical feminists will have nothing to do with Palin; after all, feminism was created only to advance the careers of liberal women But Republican women are grumbling, and Gov. Palin must prove to the base that she’s not neglecting her home to advance her career, and that’s the story to follow over the next few days. So somebody go tell Dan Abrams since he has such a hard time with news judgment.

The McCarville Report Online: ‘Journalists’ Fail Most Basic Test: Truth
We’ve been documenting the beanie propellers and compressed natural gas snake oil job that T. Boone Pickens has been peddling to the American people.
In Oklahoma and Texas, he’s bought influence by giving away money he’d otherwise have to pay in taxes, thus rendering many legislative and business leaders, and of course the MSM, deaf, dumb and blind.
Other parts of the country are not so intoxicated from freshly printed money/feedlot smell that emanates from the confidence job being sold by the former greenmail pirate gone “philanthropist.”
So it seems there are two types of people who are buying Picken’s folly: those he buys and those who are idiots. Some, it seems, wouldn’t know a renewable resource from an oil field sludge pit. Read about one of those poor ignorant souls here.
All we have to say is, “Pray for America.” With the clueless leadership we’ve had, we’re going to need a lot of Divine intervention to survive.

Under the ‘what were they smoking’ tab in today’s news, an organization, apparently with a straight face, is distributing a “study” that claims that the media is biased AGAINST Sen. Obama.
The George Mason University’s Center for Media and Public Affairs, says the Big Three networks were tougher on Obama than on McCain. No, really. They say that CBS, NBC and ABC were tougher on the Illinois Senator tahn Senator McCain. No, I’m serious. They claim they weren’t drunk when they did the study. That one we’re a little shaky about believing.
We’ll be waiting for the Center for Media and Public Affair’s study proving that it was actually Elvis in the Bigfoot costume and another study that proves Rush Limbaugh is actually a militant Marxist.

I am Press I Guess
I am Press I Guess
Can you Guess if I am Press?
Press I Guess, I wonder why,
You let old Dirty Harry lie?
Don’t you like my Harry Coates?
I Love my Coates, on him I dotes.
But Randy Terrill, gets my goats!
About that Harry’s missing wrapper?
Of course he left them in the crapper.
In a plain manilla wrapper.
We knew it soon would be a mess,
but you know we are Press I Guess.
As Press I Guess we’re in the bag,
with Harry’s tale, we do not gag,
His docs were hacked, hacked we say!
Don’t let the facts get in the way,
And we won’t check that story out,
We’ll never, ever, have no doubt!
We will not write about his lies
We’d never ever be so wise,
We’ll never ask for the cop’s report,
If the truth comes out, would that be sport?
We’re Press I Guess, the verdict’s in,
We know his story’s pretty thin,
but dogging Harry is a sin,
We’re Press I Guess, believe OUR spin.
So Press I Guess,
How will you stop this Harry mess?
We’ll keep looking the other way,
ignore, refuse to ever play,
Inspector Clouseau would be proud,
of how our silence speaks so loud.
We won’t ask for the security tape,
for then our Harry could not escape!
The probe it ended ’cause Harry’s true,
the cost too much for me and you,
we’ll never ask, ‘o the cost, how much?’
We’re Press I Guess, so out of touch.
We’re Press I Guess, If we did our job,
we’d have old Harry by the knob,
We’re MSM, our mission true:
To help keep Harry snowing you!
But now come blogs, they want the facts!
They think that Harry’s lines doth smack,
of lies and phony insinuations,
they care not of our fascination
with Harry and his bumbling crew,
How dare they tell the truth to you!
We’re Press I Guess,
and here’s the deal,
we’ll never make our Harry squeal,
we’ll let him lie, and preen and strut,
and stay here on our lazy butt!
…and the ‘Coates Calamity’ continues
