Hey ISM - can you point out to me where I've ever quoted Fox News? Honestly, I don't think I ever have.

And all I did, ISM, was to laugh at Time being described as a right leaning magazine. Why not point out to Tref by name as well that it does not lean right?

Not to mention that CBS publically apologized and terminated 4 employees as a result. Don't recall hearing anyone from Fox losing their job over their little mistake. Hell, they were probably given a pat on the back.

I think there is a pretty big difference in scale between a D or an R by a name and putting out forged documents as fact.

Everytime I see the title of this thread, I think of the Mel Gibson & Robert Downey Jr. movie...

It's tagline was "The Few. The Proud. The Totally Insane"

And CNN just accidentally put big red "X"s over Bush while he was speaking. Happened a couple of times, I think.

I guess I would suppose that since a former speaker of the House was indeed a democrat named Foley, perhaps it could have been a simple mistake? No...much better to have conspiracy theories, like Rove being the mastermind behind the Plame "outing" as a payback for not being doing what they wanted.

Yawn.

The AP made pretty much the exact same mistake as Fox but because they are the AP I guess everyone expects mistakes

You guys aren't seriuosly attempting to feign moral outrage over this, are you? I say feign, because otherwise this might actually have to be filed in the 'Stupidest Things (Ever)To Argue About' history book.

And nice try on the diversionary tactic, but really- can't you guys come up with anything new?

Let's just get it over with, okay?

Yeah, the Republicans have been naughty, but....Clinton got a BJ and lied about it!!!!!!

Yes, please go to sleep and forget ... forget ... forget that the first thing Armitage did, the very next day after he leaked the first Plamege, was to report his transgretion to the FBI and the Justice Department. Libby, of the V.P.'s office, who performed Leak No. 2 a few days later, lied about it and covered up and has been indicted. Rove can't be proven to have lied about it ... but his memory went all faulty, prompting serial grand jury appearances. Faulty memory, alas, is not provable as lying ... but you take your guess, scaeagles, as to what politicians' faulty memories mean - - and I'll take mine.

Meanwhile, yawn and sleep and forge your own faulty memories.

I can think of a lot of examples over the last 10-15 years of not being able to recall things when giving testimony to congress.

There is a concerted effort on both the right and the left to redefine what is the center. Each group wants their core beliefs to be considered as centrist in an effort to get votes. The definition of right, center, and left will always be under such a flux and lose their meaning as both sides of center constantly try to move it. This is why I have no desire to be considered a centrist. Who the hell knows what that is from day to day?

Unlike the previous innocent decade involving Iran/contra.

How far back should we go with the finger pointing? Apparantly, not so far as to mention the man in your avatar. Now, there was someone with a memory!

Or...

We could focus on what is going on in the present time.
