Countdown Thursday: Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil

Posted: Thursday, October 11, 2007 8:59 PM by Countdown
Filed Under:

Showdown on the Hill: Democrats on Capitol Hill, showing signs of caving in to the president's demand that telecom companies be given ex-post-facto immunity for eavesdropping done on his behalf. The Republicans, showing no signs of remorse... for their smear campaign against a young boy who dared to criticize the president's decision to take away his health insurance. Our fifth story on the Countdown: Apparently the only person not being offered some sort of immunity deal in Washington today... was the only person who shouldn't have to defend himself: A twelve-year-old child. Senator Hillary Clinton, presently, to discuss the day's headlines...
 
Feeling the Draft?:  He already has an Oscar.. He's in the running for a Nobel Peace Prize -- he'll know by five A-M Eastern tomorrow. Our fourth story on the Countdown -- as Senator Clinton discussed just before the break -- might Al Gore still try and make it a trifecta - and run for the Presidency? That's certainly the hope of the "Draft Gore" movement.

ODDBALL: Richard Branson drops, a pumpkin smacks a van, and the world's ugliest robot.

Reality TV: To hear Bill O'Reilly tell it, and tell it, and tell it, and tell it... All three network newscasts -- which he should be anchoring... and all three network news divisions -- which he should be running... are staffed by, overseen by, and actively pursue the political agenda of the mighty liberal wing of the all-powerful Democratic Party. This, despite the fact that all three news divisions are controlled by TV networks, which are owned, in turn, by companies that are run by rich people, who are answerable to other rich people known as shareholders. And this one just gave him a seat on Jay Leno's couch to hawk his latest book. In our third story on the Countdown tonight, a new book looks at the news industry and, not surprisingly, discovers that virtually the entire medium lay down for Mr. Bush after 9/11... and well into the Iraq War.

Spears Pickle:  Something interesting happened today at a Britney Spears custody hearing. Totally accidental, nothing to do with Spears, or her kids, or the fact that she showed up late for a hearing she'd requested.It begins our nightly round-up of celebrity news, "Keeping Tabs."

WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD: Glenn Beck, John Gibson and Ann Coulter vie for tonight's top honor.

Talk to the Hand:  The present was the future to the artists, philosophers and scientists of the last millennium... who foresaw that, by now... mankind would have hovercrafts... space colonies... computers indistinguishable from humans... robots... and plenty of clones. In our number one story on the Countdown... If progress does not march quite that fast... We have now managed this as a civilization. An arm with an ear.

Have any members of Congress read the Constitution?  It clearly states that no ex post facto laws shall be passed.  That is not hard to understand.

SECOND ATTEMPT TO POST!!

I offer warm and well-deserved congratulations to former Vice President Al Gore, awarded with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his tireless efforts to raise awareness, in addition to mobilizing millions around the world, in his often uphill struggle at rallying efforts to solve the global warming crisis!! Kudos sir!!

Since being robbed of the presidency in 2000, Al Gore has been the epitome of a class act!! Having won an academy award and an Emmy, Al Gore has now been bestowed one of the greatest honors, the Nobel Peace Prize. I can’t help but look to words such as destiny, fate and karma.  While George W. Bush is deservingly in the toilet, former Vice President and should be President Al Gore is sitting at top of the world!!

I think I’ll tune in to Fox News Channel tonight; as I can’t wait to see Sean Hannity’s head explode live on TV!! Each your heart out Sean!!

I wonder how different the world looks today if Al Gore wins the 2000 election.  There can no longer be any doubt that Mr. Gore would have been a more effective, humane, and competent president than Mr. Bush.  (After all, it turns out you don’t have to be very smart to muck up a war you never should have started and do nothing else substantial for seven years.)  Nevertheless, I hope Mr. Gore doesn’t run for president next year.  Let me tell you why.

There can be no doubt that Mr. Gore is still more qualified than anyone else currently in the field – in either party.  But, like Jimmy Carter, Mr. Gore has found his own “separate peace,” transcending the partisan political conspiring, bickering, and rancor that taints the presidency as it exists today.  Like Mr. Carter, he addresses issues from the perspective of the moral, rather than the merely political.  In short, Al Gore stands for something.

This is, of course, what presidents (like the ones on Mt. Rushmore) used to be.  But not any more.  They must be more pragmatic than idealistic, making hard choices among many alternatives, some of them unsavory.  Bill Clinton knew how to do that, and maybe even Ronald Reagan.  Hillary Clinton appears to know.  Bill Richardson, John Edwards, Chris Dodd might.  But, Al Gore should not be asked to.   He should be allowed to continue standing for something.

Like Mr. Carter, Mr. Gore certainly still has a critical role to play.  Anything where he can draw from his “moral” frame of reference to make a significant contribution.  But not the presidency.  Leave that to someone less than Mr. Gore.

(That Marc Antony guy ain't got nothin' on me.)

  Germany is actually a founding member of the EU and a member of the UN so I don't understand the argument that Turkey needs to confess for crimes comitted by the Ottomans in 1915.  Is our Congress a confessional for Muslims?
   Don't we have more pressing issues to address before Congress takes another break?
   Let Armenia make proclamations from its own government.  The Ottoman Empire has not existed since 1923 and apparently the Germans have been forgiven.

Try posting smaller posts.  I'm still looking forward to reading it.  

There is a new one hour program, on the weekends that discusses atheism.  So what.  I couldn't even find a reference to it on the Air America Home page.  With all the Religious programming on network and cable and satellite, one hour a week doesn't even qualify as a drop in the bucket.  Last time I checked, there were about 20 Christian programming channels on my satellite dish.  It isn't the 'godless' that start wars, it's religious zealots who start wars in the name of god.  

Last time I checked, free speech was not restricted to only the Christian right, at least not yet.  

And lastly, I haven't supported any candidate yet -- I am still undecided, I'm still reading and learning.  Hopefully I will make up my mind before the primary, but it won't be because of lack of research.

As a novice liberal I have a hard time wrapping my mind around things sometimes.  Let me get this straight, Al Gore creates a movie full of factual errors, a movie that advocates poor people in developing countries should stay poor and undeveloped and he gets noble peace prize?  What does a flawed movie have to do with peace?  I guess it’s an advanced liberal thing.

Please show me where Al Gore said he invented the internet.  You right wingers are so dumb you believe everything the spin machine puts out for you.  While in Congress, Gore was responsible for promoting technical development which led to the internet.  The individual from MCI Worldcom who is known as the "father of the internet" because he designed the networks computer language even said that the internet would not be where it is today without Gore's contribution.  I know the truth isn't as exciting as it is to try and destroy someone's credibility but sometimes you just must face it.  I think it was Dick Armey that started telling the press that Gore claims to have invented the internet and Repubicans ran with it.  It's like if we can't find any real dirt on the guy we'll make something up.  As someone who is in favor of everyone's freedom of speech, you can say whatever you want on the blog but please try and be honest and don't distort the facts.  And finally Tom, stop being jealous of Al Gore.  I know he was elected to the presidency in 2000, he has a great family, he won the nobel peace prize, he's making millions and millions for being a major stockholder in Google but I'm sure you have some things going for you also.

Hmmm... one person's "political expediency" is another's statesmanship.  Consider what that opportunist Bill Clinton did for the country and the world by triangulating a hostile congress and neo-cons bent on driving him from office. Look what "The Decider" did TO the nation and the world with the help of a lap-dog congress, supreme court, media and the urging of neo-cons without conscience.  Bill C (and Al Gore) are regularly referred to as statesmen by all but the wingnuts; GWB will never be anything but an embarrassment with an asterisk.

The Media & George W. Bush – Part I

#3:  Not only did the entire “medium lay down for Mr. Bush after 9/11 and well into the Iraq War”, they gave George W. Bush an extended “honeymoon”!!  Typically, the media grants an incoming president a six-month honeymoon; George W. Bush was given a five-year honeymoon!!  

September 11th transformed media news anchors, commentators and journalists; sadly and irresponsibly, in a surreptitious manner. An example is the Dick Cheney footage released two months ago.  The media had that video footage years ago, it was intentionally withheld. Countless reports were buried, stamped “Dead on Arrival”; reports the media were obligated to share with Americans.  To ensure all such reports remained DOA, they were also stamped “Do Not Resuscitate”!!

The media lived in fear of being called unpatriotic or accused of being aligned with the terrorists.  While George W. Bush and his thugs appallingly provoked this fear, it was the job and the responsibility of the media to expose George W. Bush’s multifarious lies and irresponsible policies; they failed, and inexcusably!! The media is all but as culpable as George W. Bush for the lies leading up to the Iraq war, the raping of our constitution and the bombing of our civil liberties, maybe more!!
