Here's the real Charles Babington...
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 11:10 PM by nothingtoofear
For those who don't know, he's the jerkoff AP writer who KO just dismantled on MSNBC.

"Bush may be bruised and wobbly. But the president remains on his feet after another round in which Democrats hoped for a knockout.

Whether his tenacity proves politically wise in the next election or not, it seems to embolden GOP lawmakers and leave Democrats looking tentative."

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-10-20-2156290056_x.htm


"Barack Obama achieved a historic breakthrough with his nomination for president, but you wouldn't know it by tracking the official events of the Democratic convention's first three days."

http://www.macon.com/272/story/446831.html

"Babington has not learned to choose his sources more carefully or fact-check himself. Which is another way of saying he’s still shilling for the Republicans as a reporter for the Associated Press"

Examples of what he wrote...


http://content.usatoday.com/community/tags/topic.aspx?req=tag&tag=Charles%20Babington


"One was gone within hours. Another lasted a few days. The most famous hung on for weeks.

In dealing with associates who have dragged him into controversies, Barack Obama has shown great patience with a longtime friend, but much less forbearance with those whose ties are weaker."
