1. Are you speaking of Keith Olbermann?
Edited on Sat Feb-19-05 12:33 AM by Clark2008
Or is this someone else?


On edit: I see you edited it. OK. :thumbsup:

Keith has had this story nailed - from the Valerie Plame leaks to the admitting of a non-reporter into the White House - since Day One. :)

5. Hi cry baby!

:hi:

He also says my name by accident during the news quiz. I was flummoxed to say the least (he was searching for Bugs Bunny's girlfriend, Lola, and came out with "Lara." - Heh!)

7. OMG, that is GREAT!!!!! I was too late to get into the KOEB tonight
but I read that about you and a couple of others!!! Did your heart skip a beat or did you do cartwheels, oh I guess you can't do that with your hurt knee, which by the way I hope is OK.

Keith has lead the way on this story, I'm so proud of him! :loveya:

10. It's OK.
I have, get this, football knee.

It's bursitis, actually. Anti-inflammatories and TLC for the next two weeks. Whew. Thank God it wasn't broken.

13. It's the Barberini Faun
I didn't want to defile myself by putting up a picture of GannGuckert, so I used a work of art to make my point.
:)

2. That's so true.
They're supposed to be reporting the truth, no matter what that is, not spewing the spin of those in power.

6. I don't know who Oberman is, but Olbermann rocks.
He's been reporting on the ins-and-outs (no pun intended) of Gannongate since it first started breaking - he even got into the Valerie Plame outting.
He also is the only MSM to cover the election fraud.
He regularly shows the other side of Bush's policies (for example, how SS reform is stupid).
I don't get what you're saying.

8. That was a trick question...
Olberman KNOWS that the media already is the fourth branch of government.

The question was cleverly disguised.

The real question was "When will we all be working for this administration?"

He could easily make it a brand new issue had the subject dissented.

11. Remember when Keith read the suggestions made to him
by the White House regarding his questions of Joe Wilson on the air?
I think that's when I feel in love with KO.

14. From Eberle to Endevor Media Group- could Scotty be using that
Edited on Sat Feb-19-05 01:00 AM by caligirl
for his latest excuse he gave E and P today. He is now saying GiGi got his first day pass based on being with GOP/USA. That was registered to Eberle, not a media organization. Making it just a Repug business Eberle owned.

But as soon as this story started to come out the domain registration for GOP/USA.com was suddenly changed to Endevor Media Group.Early last week. This is a fraudulent registration, no real business, fake contact info etc.

So the average person not being savey about this stuff might look at the name Endevor Media Group and think Scotty must be telling the truth. But they have no idea why that is a fake registration and that the previous registration was to Eberle a Texas GOP activist. They had no news organization, it was Eberle's GOP business to help his fellow repugs and it was faltering. He used Gannon to try to boost his business, getting him into the WH and he could not have had a legit news business. Endevor in a cover up and Scotty is using it as the basis to todays lie.
