Herman Cain and Monica Lewinsky

This isn't a sex tape, right?

There is no Monica in it. And it really shows the kind of gotcha journalism that the left is so fond of using. Seriously, tell me how to run my business in 5 seconds? How is anyone supposed to answer that off the top of their head?

Without really researching I'd expect similar arguments about the only solution being to fire employees to have been present when implementing a minimum wage.

Right.

I assume this has become a righty talking point ever since She Died For Our Sins Sarah publicly crapped her pants during that interview and then tried to deflect it back on the interviewer, kickin' it Marion Berry style.

Just because somebody gets brutally exposed as a fraud doesn't mean it was a set-up. Sometimes it's just self-inflicted.

You're right, much better to have smarta*s Ivy Leaguers like Ira Magaziner who have zero business experience decide. Much better. Clinton and his wife were so arrogant they didn't have a single doctor involved in formulating their "plan." Makes sense, don't want doctors around cluttering up their deliberations. Although we may be making progress, this is the only instance I can recall where Clinton's ignorance is advanced as a defense. "Just raise your prices."

"Without really researching," "I'd expect," careful, don't set those standards too high.

Help end monomania now, or I'll cill you.

Only in West Hollywood and Miami.

But to be fair, what isn't a sex tape there?

Talk radio host in Madison doing his part to raise the tone. A transcript of what he said:

How amateurish is it to have Rebecca Kleefisch, who, I don’t know, she has some like little panty business in her basement or something, I don’t know. She’s hardly a, she’s hardly an entrepreneur. You know what? You know how amateurish that is? Cold-calling?

(Mocking Kleefisch in high-pitched, slurred voice)

‘Would you like to move to Wisconsin? Would you like to move CouponCabin to Wisconsin? I’m Rebecca Kleefisch. I perform fellatio on all the talk show hosts in Milwaukee. And they endorse me and that’s how I became lieutenant governor. And then I got colon cancer and I ran around the state to help people. Even though I have government health care, screw everyone else.’

Very poor taste. But if I posted slanderous remarks from conservative talk radio about Dems...my fingers would probably be stubs by now.

Re: Arizona Congressman Gabrielle Giffords Apparantly Survives Assassination Attempt

Oh 5mn_Major, what conservative media personalities say about Democrats doesn't count as slander. After all, every Democrat in America (or, let's face it, anyone left of a moderate Republican) truly is trying to destroy America because they all hate this country on account of their Communist ideals.

Right?

Right?

Well, you're exactly right. Included in the link I posted was a blurb about right wing talker Mark Belling doing a lovely bit of Jew baiting last week. Not good either.

On the other hand though, if you wax poetic like the liberal media has done about raising the tone, and then fail to raise said tone, you deserve loads of criticism.

No one's done that? Really?

I've heard people talk about desiring to raise the tone. I haven't heard anybody...

Oh shit.

I misread your quote. I thought it was saying something like "wax poetic about what the liberal media has done to raise the tone."

I'm totally wrong. My bad.

Of course, "the liberal media" is false equivalency ("anyone who doesn't think the earth is flat is biased!") but your larger point is absolutely right and I screwed the pooch. Sorry.

Re: Arizona Congressman Gabrielle Giffords Apparantly Survives Assassination Attempt

We interrupt the hijacking of this thread to bring you news of the ongoing remarkable recovery of Congresswoman Giffords.

Fresh from a sunny outing that brought a smile, Gabrielle Giffords is moving to a Houston rehab center where her husband hopes the "fighter" continues on the path to a full recovery.

University Medical Center staffers took the wounded congresswoman to a deck at the hospital Thursday, where she breathed in the fresh air and felt the sun, trauma surgeon Peter Rhee said.

"I saw the biggest smile she could gather," Rhee said. "We are very happy to have her enjoying the sunshine of Arizona."

Giffords has been making progress nearly everyday in her recovery from a bullet wound to the brain.

Doctors ticked off other markers of her continuing improvement: She scrolled through an iPad, picked out different colored objects and moved her lips. They are unsure whether she is mouthing words, nor do they know how much she is able to see.

Her husband, Houston-based astronaut Mark Kelly, believes she has tried to speak and can recognize those around her.

"I can just look in her eyes and tell," Kelly said at a final briefing Thursday at the Tucson hospital. "She is very aware of the situation."

We now return you to your ongoing civil discourse.

When I use the term liberal media, it's not to say that the media as a whole is liberal, but that there is a liberal faction of the media- just as there is a conservative one. I would think that point is beyond repute, correct?
