I'm afraid Obama is better suited to an organizing position with Acorn than being President.

LOL, this is news? Defending, attacking, pundits is the pinnacle of inane.

I'm thinking that instead of everyone in the world having 15 minutes of fame, the entire planetary population is going to have 15 minutes of being called a racist on MSNBC.

Olby is a lying hack. He also is a big fat COWARD. Its this simple: He doesn't allow dissent anywhere-his show, his baseball blog, even maybe his posts at daily kos. He is a perfect example of HOW NOT to run a show.. Frak him and MSNBC. MSNBC should just drop dead or run Docs-thats the only thing that gets ratings on the crap network

Janice Dean's little boy is a doll!
I love his red hair!
Red hair runs in my family. Unfortunately, I got stuck with ash brown.

Me too, Cecelia.
I also just love his little devil smole mouth. I noticed it in the first pictures Janice put up and he still has it. I bet he's going to be a cute little devil.

Excellent articles, Thiessen vs. Amanpour and Landauer vs. Cankles. Amanpour "excuse me?"

I just wish the camera had been on her face when she said it! That would have been the icing on the cake.
Why don't more guests do their homework, as Thiessen obviously did, and dispute any phony premises used to actually squelch debate while moving inexorably to their predetermined conclusion?
I remember a big discussion at OW a few years back in which the KOites were claiming a Japanese General had been hung for the war crime of"waterboarding". He was hung for war crimes alright that consisted of executing and deliberatly starving both POWs, civilians to death and "water boarding".
The so called water boarding was actually laying a man on a board, putting wieighed down boards on his diaphramg while forcing water thru a hose down his throat. That was his war crime, not the terrible for the recipient but carefully controlled and very safe water boarding technique used by the CIA.

Doesn't Maddow still claim that she currently hosts a radio show there. It's actually a simulcast of her mess on msnbc show, but didn't she say she "hosts" a radion show?

Beck just mentioned this. Operations will cease at 06:00PM today. They'll be doing a "best of Air America" -- between 05:59 and 06:00.

Hooray for the inevitable demise of financially and morally bankrupt Air America!!!
Guess that shows you people actually do care for fairness and balance.
FNC = #1 AA = dead to the world

Don't look now, but Patsy aka Patrick, Clucker, Haggis (and several hundred other aliases), is over at Mediaite bemoaning the fact that we're somehow celebrating the demise of Airhead America, unimpeded by his nancy-boy put-downs.

Gee I wonder how many times they have hoped that Fox would crash and burn. What do you think the reaction would be at the blue blogs the day FNC shut it doors?

Is there really such athing as "best of" Air America? Isn't that like having a "best of" train wrecks?

I’m not sure I care. Progressives, moderates and liberals listen to the radio for music, not for overly-inflated egos bloviating.

FOX apologist Koldys and ALL his friends are gathering in their metaphorical telephone booth known as the Dump, cheering the failure of a business and the loss of jobs for a number of good people. A really nice lot they are.
Does he or doesn’t he care? Ah, to be a liberal, at 5:06pm you don’t care if people you agree with lose their jobs.
But at 6:31pm You do care if people you agree with lose their jobs.

I think I'll check out Olbermann tonight to see if he responds to Red Eye. Should be interesting.
By the way, why is the camera always so close to Olbermann's face? It makes his head look huge. Oh, wait. That is his normal head shot.

Air America cancels all flights and closes up shop, MSNBC is in a ratings chute sans chute, political and TV writers/bloggers of every stripe are railing at the Three Messkateers, Matthos; Maddos; and Olbermis, for their one-sided, ugly idiot, D'Arzuckerman and his place for politics. All is not well at the Peacock's pen.
I recall an Obama election victory NH prediction that by the spring of '09, FNC would become the irrelevant, shrinking channel, delegated to shouting questions from outside the WH fence.
