I should have thought that after the last hatchet job Andrew Breitbart was behind that lessons would have been learned. You’d think by this time the media would start doing some actual journalism and dig. Shirley Sherrod should be appointed AG secretary. Tom Vilsack should be appointed secretary of sniffing Andrew Bretbart’s ass. And Andrew Breitbart should be used to plug a hole in some deepwater oil spill off the coast of Nigeria.

Disgraceful. Righties like Breitbart are a bunch of snakes who don’t report but exploit, its in their DNA, but at least they put up a real fight to protect their own.

The Obama administrations is a collection of sniveling wimps who will anyone throw under the bus to avoid (gasp!) “controversy!”

“Oh, please, no, we can’t have Glen Beck saying nasty things about us!”

Amy Goodman was on CNN’s John King on the 19th of
July. The segment ran for 12:21 minutes. Amy got in
1:26 Minutes of talk. The majority of the time was
used in JK’s set up the piece and other CNN
correspondents’ opinion.

When the Media is more interested in listening to
itself than a guest who may provide a fresh
perspective, then you get a vacuous echo chamber
whose echo is not the reality that most of us are
living, but an alternate Universe populated by
Celebrities/Personalities. It’s a Universe where a
Breitbart can be a player to stir up things up, but a
Universe where the likes of a Chomsky, Zinn, Chris
Hedges, Goodman, could not. 

What could you possible get across in 1:26 seconds?

Our Political World takes the Form of the Theater of
the Absurd and plays by the rules that Orrin Klapp
outlined in his book “Heroes, Villas, and Fools: The
Changing American Character” way back in 1962.

There remains a sort of “mystery” about the job that Ms. Sherrod had at the DOA. Was she an appointed “official” who served at the “pleasure” of Mr. Obama who was then the only person with authority to fire her? In that case Mr. Vilsack wildly overstepped his authority if he did not get presidential approval for firing of Ms. Sherrod. If he did get presidential approval someone is shielding the president by preventing this information to come out. If she was a civil service employee she had recourse to review. Why was she not told during the phone call at roadside which is a standard procedure in firings of civil service employees? The issue of her right to review never came up in any of the numerous reports and discussions on TV, on the radio, and in my newspaper . Why not?
There is a German saying which seems to be relevant for this Whitewash House debacle: “bury it under sand”.

The White House is truly incompetent if it fired Sherrod based on misleading,
modified information.  Gibbs should not be apologizing anyway.  It should be the
President of the United States.  And, he should not be making such elementary
mistakes.

Obama is an appeaser. His pathological need to be “liked” by the right-wing keeps him up at night knowing that somewhere, somehow, a Republican is unhappy.

An apology doesn’t cut it. The Obama administration has been played by Fox Noise so many times that its strings are worn.

Ms. Sherrod apparently was not a Civil Service employee but was a Presidential appointee serving at the pleasure of Mr. Obama. If that is the case how was it possible hat the Secretary of Agriculture fired her without an order from Mr. Obama who was the only person who had the power to fire her?

Glen Beck and Fox will now run the White House personal department directly.  Neat!

The right wing is calling the shots again, and Obama is still jumping.
