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

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.
