VIDEO- Rep. Alan Grayson on Palin: "She's an Inspiration to Quitters All Over the Country"

By GottaLaff

Leave it to Grayson to give it to us straight, and, well, give it to Quitty McDingbat straight between the eyes:

"She's an inspiration to every student at school that cheats.... She just wants to make money."

His Medicare You Can Buy Into plan is something I have signed on to (via petition). He has at least 80 co-sponsors so far, and now that health care reform is becoming a reality, this looks more promising than ever. Go Alan!

The Madam's Apple deer-in-headlights moment, courtesy of CNN's Rick Sanchez:

Rick Sanchez brought her up short and asked her "You just compared the Iraq War to World War II. Do you think that's an apt comparison."

And for once, Ann was genuinely speechless. At least for a moment.

VIDEO: CNN's Rick Sanchez ambushes Ensign on sex scandal

By GottaLaff

Gotcha:



Aww, someone had to answer actual questions from an actual Tee Vee Machine questioner with actual Tee Vee Machine questions? Unheard of!

Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) does his first CNN interview expecting to discuss terrorism but gets grilled on his sex scandal instead. It's must-watch video.

"Sir, that's an illegality." Why, it most certainly is.

Wait. What? Confrontation? Attempts to get the truth? On a "news" program? Other than on The Rachel Maddow Show?

Of course, that doesn't mean Sanchez got answers... but kudos!

Rick Sanchez has some excellent moments. This is one of them.

VIDEO: CNN begins airing network promo... that calls out Fox News

By GottaLaff

From the Department of Neener Nanner:

Yesterday Paddy posted a video of Rick Sanchez's justifiable outrage over Fox's accusation that CNN didn't cover the 9/12ers.

Today, CNN is using ClusterFox's lies against them.

In the blink of an eye, and using stills from CNN footage of the event, CNN began airing a general network promo specifically calling out the Faux network. Yes, CNN has pulled a dee-lish switcheroo, and they have you-know-who to thank.

To quote Rick Sanchez, "Can you say, 'reality check... mate'?"

Happy face time:

Neener. Nanner.

UPDATE, here's the ad: (blog title edited to reflect)

Video- CNN's Rick Sanchez Calls FOX News Liars

You've got to give Sanchez credit, he's not afraid to call people out. More here.

At 3:15pmET today, CNN's Rick Sanchez delivered an impassioned editorial regarding the Fox News ad we reported on earlier today that claimed ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN "missed" the story of the 9/12 protests.

Sanchez said the ad is "an offense to myself and to my colleagues who risked their lives for our viewers in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world to break the news. They're actually telling people that we didn't cover a rally on Washington. Really?" Sanchez then showed a series of clips from CNN's 9/12 reporting. He also showed a clip of Bill O'Reilly discussing CNN's coverage of the event.

Between this and the Holocaust survivor/Obama = Hitler incident, it feels like this country is imploding:



Paddy posted the back story here. Beyond awful:

From CNN's Rick Sanchez: Troy Dale West Jr., of Poulan, Georgia, is facing charges including misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct after allegedly beating African American Army reservist Tashawnea Hill, 35, after the two had words at the entrance of the Morrow, Georgia, Cracker Barrel restaurant the evening of September 9, 2009

This was brutal. The FBI is investigating this as a potential hate crime. Good.

As Paddy said earlier, what ever happened to the Rushpublic "support the troops" mantra in this case, hmmm? Do you hear anything from them on her behalf? No? Of course not. Why not?

Hint: She's black. Probably a fascist, socialist, communist, birth certificateless Nazi from Kenya, too.

Tom Coburn: Compassionate Conservative:



Rick Sanchez:

"He just told her to come and see him. Isn't he the government? By the way, after helping her, what will he do about the other 46,999,000 Americans who don't have insurance...?"

Thank you Rick Sanchez.

You all know Rick Scott. If not, you do now. Rick Sanchez:

"How much more wrong can you be?... You're playing with the facts, sir!... Some people are gonna look at your record ... and say, 'This is the guy leading this charge? Is he the one we should be listening to?' Not exactly a perfect past when it comes to what's right for taxpayers and patients."

Well done, Rick Sanchez!



"No one went to jail"? Some comeback. As Lucy would say, "Ohhh, Rickyyyy!"

VIDEO: Rick Sanchez interviews his Mom, who "is proud" of Sotomayor

By GottaLaff

Say adios to the Hispanic/Latino vote, los Rushpublicos.




Oh, Rick. You and your wise Latina women...

CNN's Rick Sanchez continues to break ground in nationally televised journalism, today interviewing his mom about Judge Sonia Sotomayor in her kitchen. The interview—which was mostly in Spanish—captures that Sanchez signature off-the-cuff style and unpredictability.

That Rick Sanchez is so gosh darned improv-y, isn't he? Que espontáneo. What a scamp.

Remember this loverly video of Rick Sanchez's smackdown of Bill O'LIElly? Well knock me over with a feather, pigs are flyin', and hell has temporarily frozen over:

VIDEO-- Tom DeLay: Hispanic rights groups like La Raza & LULAC: "bunch of radical leftists"

By GottaLaff

Why on earth are they giving this thug any credibility whatsoever? Why is he allowed to speak for anyone?

The Rushpublic Wall-O'Shame is littered with wanted posters. The corporate media ambles over, throws a dart, it lands on one of the many criminals, and they interview the face in the picture.

This conversation should not be taking place. Sotomayor is getting smeared and the punditiocracy perpetuates it. Are you listening, Sanchez? If you need ratings this badly, your career is in big trouble.

Sheldon Whitehouse: Bush lied, criminal prosecutions more likely, more

By GottaLaff

Rick Sanchez:

Lawrence Wilkerson says BushCo was using torture to make a case for the Iraq War.

Sheldon Whitehouse just called Bush a liar, in an interview just now with Rick Sanchez on CNN.

Whitehouse:

If what Wilkerson said is true, it takes the techniques off the scope of the legal memos. And that raises the prospect of a criminal prosecution.

Fine with me.
