Rep. Weiner GOES OFF On Republicans Over Blocking 9/11 Health Compensation Act - TPC
I love this guy
Rep. Anthony Weiner spoke on the House floor tonight in support of H.R. 847, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which was blocked from passage by House Republicans. Rep. Weiner addresses some of the false arguments Republicans were using in their opposition to the bill. The vote was 255 to 159 in support of the bill, short of the 2/3 needed for passage; 155 Republicans voted against the legislation, which provides medical monitoring and treatment to World Trade Center responders and survivors who were exposed to the toxins at Ground Zero.
Holy Shit! I totally forgot that I followed Kevin Spacey on twitter. He must not tweet a lot and then BAM! there’s fuckin’ Keyser Söze on my dash!
Jon Stewart Mocks Media Outrage Over Obama on The View
- Gawker.TV
A totally clueless Chris Matthews, who somehow doesn’t know the rudimentary facts involving the Shirley Sherrod story, acts as though Howard Dean and Salon’s Joan Walsh are the dunces here. Listen, at one point Matthews mutters something like, after Dean brings up Drudge, “you go look at Drudge if those are your sources.”
This all happened during the 5pm version of Hardball and was never truly cleared up, though they had Joan Walsh back, for the 7pm show.
For more on Matthew’s insanity go to tpc and mediaite
Also, the 5pm version has been washed from MSNBC’s website according to the above sources.

I asked Breitbart, via web chat, for his reaction to Sherrod’s lawsuit threat. He declined to comment directly, instead sending me a series of quotes from others evidently meant to demonstrate the righteousness of his cause. One was from Sherrod herself, delivered to CNN’s Tony Harris on July 20: “…The NAACP has not tried to contact me one time and they are the reason why this happened. They got into a fight with the Tea Party, and all of this came out as a result of that.”
Considering what happened last time Breitbart quoted Sherrod with limited context, you’d think his lawyers would advise him against this line of defense.

Palin supporters demand PBS censor me [Andy Borowitz]. - BorowitzReport
‘Need to Know’ a PBS news show, this week Borowitz made fun of Sarah Palin. Specifically he mocked her ‘Palinese’ and speculated what the country would look like when she became president in 2012, per the ‘Mayan Prophecy Weekly’.
“Her first official act will be to cancel the agreement between nouns and verbs. Next, she’s replace the English language with Palinese….Word number one: “mitteracy.” “Mitteracy” means the ability to read off one’s hand. Word number two: “rignorance.” “Rignorance” means advocating deep-water drilling in the aftermath of an ecological disaster that killed thousands of pelicans. And finally, “mooseacre.” “Mooseacre” means a really fun day in the great outdoors. That’s our lesson in Palinese for today. Now, you may be wondering: Where does Sarah Palin find all these new words of hers? In a little book called the fictionary.” - Andy Borowitz
…some viewers didn’t find it so funny. The segment received over 600 comments — meaning if nothing else, PBS has discovered that Palin is a reliable traffic generator — and a number of people were not pleased. Said PBS ombudsman Michael Getler: “Palin’s new word was all over the media and fair game.” - only text via mediaite because I hate their video player
Mr. Assange can say whatever he likes about the greater good he thinks he and his source are doing, but the truth is they might already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier or that of an Afghan family.
