Gold: Glenn Beck. Lonesome Roads wins for his astounding and newly fabricated ‘holiday.’ Ya’ll can join right in the National Day of Fasting and Prayer for the Republic!” There’s a small glitch, September 28th is already taken – as Yom Kippur. Call me sensitive, but it doesn’t have the feeling of all-inclusiveness.
Silver: Under the auspices of an official letterhead from the Republican “US SENATE healthcare TASK FORCE” Chairman. Sen John Cornyn R-TX , this shining light is doing his level best to bomb any chance of health care reform with the diabolical questionaires which have worked well previously in elections. It’s a lil’ trick that implies guilt via polling with a loaded question which is a lie in and of itself. See Worst, it should be illegal, as it is as close to an outright lie as the law rather is sloppy in allowing. If you receive mail with this letterhead, it makes a perfect fire starter fir kindling, there is nothing official about it.
Bronze: MEDIA-ite’s Robert Quigley, Colby Hall, and Prof. Lawrence Lessig of Stanford feel that it’s better to await forgiveness than ask permission. That’s how it’s panning out regarding Keith Olbermann’s August 3 Special Comment
regarding blue dog Democrat Mike Ross, D-Ark. See Worst for Keith’s opinion of their borrowing a cup of commentary. If the boyz had been as creative with the article, and given credit where it was due, I doubt Mr. Olbermann would be as offended today.
