The Whole Delivery

Instead of Luda this week, the selection form pioneer hip hop group De La Soul's "Saturday." Obama's weekly message: Charles Blow with one of the realest write ups this week called " Black in The Age of Obama ." Her stupidity and spitefulness have no end..... ...But remember, she's got that TV propaganda job and all from the Administration she criticizes! Yipee! And just to let CNN know again.......Desiree Rogers situation isn't like Karl Rove and Hariett Miers .

Busy with many things today outside of TWD everyone, so sorry for the delay. But here's the runthrough: Public Option Health Care News While most were focusing on the LIE-bera--hole show yesterday with the Senate, the bigger story probably was in the House. A robust public option, something Nancy Pelosi said was going to happen in her chamber, is in serious danger actually. The negotiation rates need to keep premiums at 10-11% in comparison to typical private insurers being truly strong instead of the negotiated rates that the Blue Dog/conservative nutcases want. Without that, the public option, though still a public option at day's end, is not as strong as it should be. And, as Jon Walker said in that link, it IS A Slap in the face to the working class. That would be around a $1,400 reduction in premiums for the average family that could choose the robust public option. Forcing Americans to pay roughly $1,400 more a year on health insurance premiums, by denying them the cho...

The level of short term memory loss (or just outright lies) of Dana Perino is quite staggering to this writer's brain. I thought she couldn't top last week's loss memory of how her former boss let her witless self attack NBC relentlessly last year . But she certainly did just that . The transcript for those who had the fortune to miss out on hearing this mess PERINO: That was a coordinated, calculated attack. It was unbecoming. And if you look at some of the coverage of what mainstream media covers when, for example, somebody like a Hugo Chavez shuts down television stations, he calls them illegitimate. Now, I’m not suggesting that this White House believes that they are going to come over here and shut down Fox News. But they are defining a narrative in their first year, and it’s going to be very hard to recover from it. [...] Through our State Department, we are trying to help emerging democracies get journalists and government officials to talk to one another, because fr...

She must not know, because she makes herself continue to look like a laughingstock when she says things like this: It's like these people think that they were never recorded or something. Additional Deliveries Craig Deeds is really a loser . I guess Steve Phillips will get fired by ESPN the same way Harold Reynolds got fired ? Well, it should be, but doesn't appear so. Dave Chapelle was robbed . Contrary to the title of this story, not all of these websites are kick a-- . And get this......A banned episode of Tiny Toon Adventures? Yes. For a while now, this will be the only thread since site Administration and site business. With that, enjoy the growing legend of Alan Grayson :

Dummy Commenting on Gov. Mark Sanford’s (R-SC) extramarital affair with a woman from Argentina, former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino writes in the National Review: “If the constant stream of these confessions by unfaithful husbands is any guide, we’ll be treated to more and more of these stories.” She then suggests an interesting solution: While I am not able to explain, I do think I know the answer to all of this: Elect more women. No woman I know has the time for such trysts, nor do I know any who say the desire one. They’re too busy trying to keep all the plates spinning at home, at work, and at the gym to make sure none fall and break As Atrios puts it perfectly : Women Never Cheat Good to know, Dana, good to know... Very good to know indeed, especially since it came from her.

Photo from the BBC So much for being an advocate of free speech. Instead of giving his blessings that Muntader al-Zaidi be released after throwing a shoe at him, the lame duck George W.Bush has not said a word about that. And because of his, in my mind, chilling silence, al-Zaidi is getting tortured and beaten, badly . This is scary. The brother of the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at US President George W Bush has said that the reporter has been beaten in custody. Muntadar al-Zaidi has allegedly suffered a broken arm, broken ribs and internal bleeding, his older brother, Dargham, told the BBC. Mr Zaidi threw his shoes at Mr Bush at a news conference, calling him "a dog". The government however said that's not the case: A spokesperson for the Iraqi military says the journalist is in good health and said the allegations were untrue. But other reports say the opposite : Raed in the Middle reports: Albaghdadia, the TV channel where the Iraqi Journalist Montather ...

From Think Progress creator Faiz Shakir, the latest unfortunate ignorance (and to be honest, stupidity) from White House press secretary Dana Perino, when asked why Bush did not agree to sign onto the Cluster Bomb Treaty: Today in Oslo, Norway, over 100 countries began signing the Convention on Cluster Munitions. The nations signing the cluster bomb treaty argue that the unexploded munitions pose a “deadly hazard to children, farmers and others long after a conflict ends.” In a surprising last-minute change of policy, Afghanistan agreed to join the treaty. Russia and the U.S. remain two of the key holdouts to the agreement. Today during the White House press briefing, veteran reporter Helen Thomas pressed spokeswoman Dana Perino to explain the Bush administration’s opposition:THOMAS: Is the President going to sign the anti-cluster bomb treaty? Apparently this is – PERINO: Right, this is a treaty that was passed out of the U.N. Security Council several months ago. We said then that, no,...

First Cheney, now here comes Parquet Perino shooting McCain in the foot again ( and maybe doing it on purpose ). “President Bush remains hopeful that John McCain will pull it out tomorrow night and win the election.” Perino added that Bush thinks McCain and other Republicans “have the right ideas when it comes to the economy and national security.” Watch it: They have to be literally doing this on purpose, angry at how McCain has thrown them under the bus even more so in the last few weeks. Because they can't be this stupid. They just can't be. Oh wait, I am talking about this Administration though. Which means they are as slick and cunning, as they are stupid.

The title says it all, and let us display these examples: From Think Progress' Ali Frick , White House Press Secretary Dana Perino shows how uncaring she is, and a talking points memorize bubblehead as well, by saying these keys words about the economic situation: During today’s press briefing, White House press secretary Dana Perino suggested the Bush administration would oppose any effort to extend jobless benefits — a stance the White House has taken before. She explained their position by saying, “we want people to be able to return to the workplace as soon as possible.” The suggestion was that extending benefits somehow prevents people from returning to work. She concluded by saying that “the best way to help” the economy and unemployed people is for unemployed people to simply “get back to work.” Watch it: I'm stunned too, and I've seen that one a few days ago, and I am still stunned. But it gets better. Once again, from TP, this time from Oklahoma native Satyam Khan...
