Saw that at HA a few days ago. Priceless!

Especially,

BARNICLE: Whatever. She was the next, new face. No one had ever heard of her. So you’re going to send as many people as you can afford up to Alaska to explain to the reading public who she is. You’re sitting there, you know Obama, you know the governor of Illinois –

SCARBOROUGH: You don’t know Obama. You can’t even tell me whether he ran the 2002 campaign of the most corrupt governor in America.

BARNICLE: I can tell you this much: he was a state senator then, and he ran that campaign about as much as I did.

SCARBOROUGH: Oh really? How do you know that?

BARNICLE: Just instinct.

Why does the editor's last name not surprise me?

In the navy we scrape barnicles off because they impede forward motion. This one seems intent on impeding any investigation into Barry going forward.

MSM is filled with them...to quote Capt. Haddock "billions of blue blistering barnicles!"

This just goes to show the continuing discrimination against Italian-Canadian candidates by the Canadian press versus the much more enlightened approach of the US press corps.

You need a backhoe graphic for this story Kate. Somebody is going to be visiting the earthworms by the time this is over.

Seems to me that the only ones who were talking about this stuff for the last couple of years was Hannity and Oreilly. The MSM had absolutely zero interest in vetting Obamarama. I believe that history will look back at this election and see it as a tipping point in the grand decline of responsible journalism in America.

Nice to see Scarb getting his groove back )or whatever it is you "get back" if yer a tightass white boy);I was starting to wonder about him there.

A little too little a lot too late .

I am still waiting to hear if BO has produced his birth certificate as ordered by a judge.

Putting the "stink" back into "instinct."

Curious, where was the vaunted Clinton slime machine? How did THEY miss all of this?

I still think Emmanuel has a very very short half life and will be gone within a year. Americans think well of Obama and will forgive lots about him as long as it is pinned on the people surrounding him. Just the feeling around the guy, Americans want him to do well. But there will be a limit, and if this stuff doesnt get cleared by summmer, then the lookout for a nasty Fall of '09.

I think the editor of the NYT knows they didnt do their job, and like the press turned on Clinton, they will turn on this crop. But it will start at the edges first.

Prediction for 09...Barack Obama will say words like this

"I am disappointed that someone I thought I knew well had engaged in these activities......"

Read this Chicago columnist before cheering Obama's latest bipartisan appointment.

Change? Change my derrière! Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

It seems to me Companies hiring employees in sensitive positions do more background checks than were ever done on BO.

The press has to wear and is responsible in large part for obama's success. I think the fun will really begin as we discover more about the great 0, stuff that should have come to light and forefront before the election. Even more fun will be watching the CNN trust me types covering their slanted asses.

Take CNN and it's phoney impartial panels explaining away or burying anything negative about their wonder boy. My 19 year old grand son put it real simple, gramps, those guys [the panel] really seem to like him don't they.

The left wing media has NO DESIRE to INVESTIGATE anyone, or ANYTHING that might blemish their Messiah.

These guys make me want to puke, and it was refreshing to see their feet held to the fire.

Most shocking is that a type like Barncile can make that kind of comment without any second thought, and then 52% of the US electorate nod in agreement.

As far as the Obama associations are concerned, knowledge of all the ramifications would not have made a difference. The people who voted for Obama simply did not care. They still do not care.

They all WILL care later on, but it will be somebody else's fault.

Obama is either the dirtiest POTUS ever elected, or the most clueless. Well, ok, probably both.

We were at a party the other night where a bunch of people were expressing their shock at Obama's associations. The general consensus was, 'What's a wonderful guy like that doing with friends like those.' I sat in stunned silence until finally saying, "Maybe he isn't all that wonderful.' The topic was changed rather rapidly.

Living in a capitalist society, from the time we were kids we have been cautioned, 'If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't.' Obama fits that description perfectly. How did Americans (and Canadians, I guess) ever become so damned gullible?

Corrupt Democrats just aren't as, well, newsworthy as corrupt Republicans.

Speaks volumes !!

A person's REAL character traits are a reflection of those around him. aka, actions speak louder than words.

spare change we can believe in.

spare change we can believe in.

See my post just above for a reference to the fact that AP has cut the word "Democrat" from the original newspaper's piece.

It must be in AP's Manual of Style.

Come guys/gals.Give the Yanks and the MSM a break.They are just trying to catch up to us here in Canukistan,ala Turdeau. P)~

I have it from an unimpeachable source that Barack Obama is Richard Milhaus Nixon's illegitimate love child from the Watergate Hotel, and the reason why there is no "legitimate" birth certificate.

I think they have already surpassed the Canadian 'MSM' in Canada by about 16 years. They fawned over Clinton and destroyed Bush. For the next 4+ years they are going to fawn over Obama and his obamites.

"It seems to me Companies hiring employees in sensitive positions do more background checks than were ever done on BO."

Obama would never be able to work at Home Depot, because of his drug abuse background. Can't work the till at a hardware store, but CAN be President.

Was the fellow who said, "instinct" making a joke, or is he that arrogant? Unbelievable.

Therein lies the proof that progressives do good work.

\snark

The story of O has more angles than Dita von Teese performing at an architects convention.

They look like a bunch of college kids caught smoking dope.
The denials smells bit pungent. When one of them said he was going by his gut, it florred embecause they all are. Good pets for Obama that they are except the obvious guy, who knows there waiting on a King not a President.
The MSM has become dogs at the Socialists government feet. Waiting for morseld of spun information, to frightened or in awe to even question his worldly wisdom.

Bernie, that's a Dennis Miller style brilliant reference. Kudos!!!

Tangential Story

Here's Mark Steyn on another example of what journalism has devolved into

Ooooh, that's going to leave a mark.

I love how they started playing The Edgar Winter Group/Dan Hartman's "Free Ride" about halfway through.

This is exactly the point of lefty politics and their hedonistic desire to control the world through censorship and brainwashing.

“Who cares” they say if Obamba is a corrupt Chicago pimp, that hangs with criminals and racists. His friends and associates have no bearing on his ability to lead the richest most powerful country in the world. From the likes of Louis Farrakhan and his Black Panther support through to convicted killer bombers such as William Ayers to a racist pastor and wife on through to the latest corrupt governor.

Who cares because he’s not white!

That’s all the qualifications you need in modern America. Why not elect 50 cent? He’s both black and almost literate. I suppose he didn’t need the job his millions are already in the bank.

This is what is so fundamentally flawed with allowing the racist and perverted left to take control of our media & politics. They are abnormal and amoral living in fantasy world’s way past the norms of nation builders and societies gatekeepers. They want anarchy and they want control………………They want your kids.

Obama is the media's house boy. He will do what the Kennedies an George Soros tell him to do; he is the (White) house boy. He is corrupted up the ying-yang. The media will not investigate "their own boy"

The press can describe, in intimate detail, every stain on Joe The Plumber's shorts, but they have no idea about the corruption going on in front of their noses.

"...they should have gone to Chicagoland!"...

Har !

There is so much dirt on the great Owe that unless he performs up to his puppeteers demands he will be flushed like yesterday's taco salad.

" INSTINCT "
the MSM relies on " INSTINCT "
the whole world has gone totally nuts

"Instinct"

That says it all. Journalism is truly dead in 2008. R.I.P.

Nothing for a few days now from MSM. We were told by the O that the info would come out in about a week which would be today, you know from when he brushed off a reporter's question...
