| CBS sucks. The "60 Minutes" Don Siegelman piece & the 60,000 lb election theft elephant they missed |

Edited on Sun Feb-24-08 07:45 PM by Fly by night
Like many of you, I have been looking forward to the "60 Minutes" piece on Don Siegelman. Finally, I thought (as did many of you, I suspect), the story of the theft of Siegelman's 2002 re-election race for Alabama Governor would receive proper national media attention.
(Links to the Siegelman 2002 election theft story are posted downthread.)
But NOOOO -- all we get is some Freudian slip reference (in one sentence) to the fact that the Rethugs could never beat Siegelman so they had to use the Just-us Department to go after him. Well, CBS, if the Rethugs couldn't beat him, HOW DID HE LOSE HIS 2002 RE-ELECTION?
READ MY LIPS, CBS. The Rethugs could not beat Siegelman. That's why they stole his 2002 election. There is ample documentation to that effect. If you lame-asses can't find it, ask for our help. We've been offering it for years.
CBS = (Journalistic) Carbunkles, Boils and Shit
Time to get on the exercise bike and exorcise the corporate merde from my brain cells.
Eat the rich.

Unfortunately, there's nothing new about this game -- there's also nothing new w/ media silence. |

Got it! Once (2000) is a shame, twice (2004) is coincidence, three times (next)..lock and load. |

Damned straight! Without a functioning Fourth Estate, we need a functioning 2nd amendment. |

The broadcast had 'technical problems" and didn't air |

My guess is the same "technical" problems that flipped the 2002 Baldwin Co (AL) votes |
