Pop Eater is very unrealiable. Gossip Cop has caught them being not so honest in the past
Shuster is out of his mind

Re: Hotline after dark
'Ex-Newsweek's Fineman, on whether Brown's pick-up truck is coded racial language: "Maybe not in Massachusetts, but maybe in some places, there are codes, there are images, you know, there are pickup trucks. You can say there's a racial aspect to it one way or another. But ... in having covered some of the tea party events down in Kentucky, which is where I used to be a reporter, and knowing the history of this, I don't think it's so much a matter of race or even very, very much a matter of race at all" ("Countdown," MSNBC, 1/19).'
The look on Keith Olbermann's face as he rushed Fineman off the air after this answer was priceless!
The look on Mike Barnicle's face as he told Chris Matthews not to rush in linking Massachusetts voters with "those nut jobs [tea party protesters]" was an eye-opener too.
Barnicle was more wrathful than the results of a fire ant-red wasp recombinant DNA gene splicing experiment. The wrath and disdain on his face was shocking!

I just cannot take Barnicle. I'm sorry and I know it's old news, but the guy is a serial plagiarist and it just irks me that he keeps landing on his feet. Your mileage may vary.

Johnny, I had always considered Mike Barnicle to a thoughtful "everyman". Dead wrong.
The moment last night that I think is nothing short of hilarious is Keith Olbermann arguing that one of the president's "policies" is that a person of color should be able to lead this country.
Therefore, when Pres. Obama's critics say they don't support his policies, that is actually racist "code" language for the fact that don't want a nonwhite president!
You have to work hard to devise this sort of craziness in order to smear people!

Seems like the li'l feller is quite upset over my post yesterday where I responded to an anonymous "Guest" poster who launched a personal attack. Despite the fact that I said "I don't know who you are", the li'l feller is quite angry claiming that I said it was him. In an offline message to me yesterday, the li'l feller launched into his usual barrage of homophobic slurs. He whined and begged me to remove the photo attached to yesterday's post which I said was how I pictured the "guest" poster. Since the li'l feller says it wasn't him who made the post, and based on his past history of honesty and integrity, how could I not believe him? But what a weird coincidence that the "guest" and the li'l feller look alike.

Excellent TV newser article about FNC dominating Haiti Coverage. Yesterday, Blackflon clipped a post from John T where that dope claimed that FNC was providing Non-coverage of Haiti. As usual, the facts do not support John T's mindless ravings. Congrats to FNC for its ratings success!

If you only look at one J$ link today, make it the Barney on MSNBC link. Rick Lowry is "spot on", even Mr. "Spot On" would have to agree.

I addresssed this in a post on my blog that i sent to Dollar, MSNBC is becoming more biased and unhinged that it is starting to infurite me. Olby called the people of MA racist because we voted for Brown. It is not about Obama skin color, it is about POLICY that people are fed up with. I'm doing my best not to call for Olbermann firing but if he keeps this up I might. This is the post:

imagine the reaction if a host on FNC said those same things.

Is Megyn @1 really better then her morning slot?
Anyways, I'm going to miss the chemistry between her and Hemmer.

I knew it! The resident idiot just couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Any bets on how long it will take him to post an excuse for his stupidity on Redditt?
He's like the 3 stooges all rolled into one. Today, 3:42:47 PM– Flag – Like – Reply – Delete – Edit – Moderate

Hey idiot, you dumb senile fool. Read Dollar's trash thread. He defends the coverage and defends the non-coverage. If you where not a dumb idiot with your nose shoved so far up Dollar's ass you could see that.
What is it with the little feller and littlejohnt talking to themselves over their? Isn't that a sign of insanity or were they just born that way?

Scott Brown Pimps His Daughters; Fox News Gives Him A PassReported by Ellen - January 20, 2010 - Comments (29)
I'm guessing that his daughters get more attention than the Bodacious Bordello Babes of News Hounds.
I knew they didn't have a sense of humor but this is silly. Sure the girls were a little embarrased but it didn't look like they wanted to kill the guy.
News Hounds.......No Humor ...All the Time.

Thank you so much. It took us 4 years to hit 1M, and now we've made 2M in 19 months. Couldn't have done it without all of you, the readers, and links generously provided by other sites. Thanks to you all. Now, who wants to be a Three-Millionaire?

I'm betting that you make the Three Million in less then a year, Johnny.
I had been watching the number speeding up but still missed it earlier.
Congratulations to a good guy who deserves his success!

Congrats on the 2 million hits, J$! I'm a fan of some people on Fox, not a fan of others, but I always enjoy your blog. I'm sure it takes a lot of time to collect the info and post constantly and stay up to date, and I appreciate it.

In the latest ratings, Olbermann is getting creamed by almost everyone else. Campbell Brown kicks his but. She has almost the same number of viewers, but 33% more in "the demo". Everybody in CNN and FNC primetime kicked his rear. Shame!
