2. Loved the clip about the "Crazy Psychic Guy who talks to Dead People"

The TV Medium who talks to dead people (Jon Edwards?) was on FOX News talking about how Terri is talking to us all and is present....

OMG....Jon Stewart looked like he was just going to scream like I have been about the insanity of what we are seeing....its uneffing believable....


AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!

21. He actually DID "scream" on Monday (I think) when all this

started. He turned away from the desk, put his head in his hands, looked down and went AAAAHHHHHHHRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Sadly, I think I saw a developing bald spot in the middle of Jon's head. I've been noticing the spot ever since!!!

22. I know when he said John Edwards created his own medium, that made me LOL.

6. Yellow journalism has found a great home on cable

This story has made people behave like insane idiots. When Fox uses a crazy TV medium guy as a pendant, it shows what Fox is if we didn't already know. I really think the media has turned into as credible as the World Wrestling Federation. It's all about sensationalism and smack down debates. Where are the real journalists? The country is really going down a road that is dangerous and extremely frustrating.
I am appalled at the media, the Democratic party, and the citizens in general. We have stood by silently and let this insanity happen.
We must talk Dr Dean into calling for a massive march to demand our freedoms be protected from this radical theocracy that is in charge.
We MUST take to the streets and show our disdain for the current state of affairs. I urge everyone to write to Dr. dean and demand action on a massive scale. We must do this in order to show our numbers, our unity and our willingness to stand up and be counted. Anything short of this is a continued loosing strategy to the Roveization of our nation. Make a stand for our country, write to Dr Dean and urge an organized mass march to protest the religious take over of the country!

8. They are staging a full out propaganda offensive

to work everyone up about getting those evil judges out of the way so only *'s appointees may serve.

This is all very calculated. It is not just a circus, although it may end up backfiring.

The thing is, they don't really care what the public thinks, but they still are cautious enough to make it look like there is public sentiment leading up to their ham-handed moves, in this case, ending the filibuster option.

12. It's really sad... Olbermann touched on it last night too.

Cable news now seems to be diametrically opposed to journalism.

Did you see the final minutes of Keith Olbermann last night?

In the last 3 minutes of this clip, Keith talks about how similar the 1976 TV News Movie called "Network" is to the state of cable news networks today.

20. They used him as a "pendant"? Or was it "pundit"?

7. Thanks! I missed the show, so was glad to see it.

It will be interesting to see what Maher has to say tomorrow. (Hint, hint.) His show has been too annoying lately to watch.

[RedTail Wolf]

9. Thoughts on Ole Bill

What IS wrong with him as of late....his shows seems to be dull, not edgy. I want to see some fire lit under his ass so he become the attack dog for all PROG's. He seems as if he too has been intimidated or just bummed out by the Rove-run nation.Hope he is own his game this week!

16. Maher is OK if...

...you only watch the parts of the show that you agree with. Which, by the way, are also the funniest clips.

I'll be watching.

[ElectroPrincess]

10. Thank you. Will forward to my buds. :-)

[priller]

11. Wow, John Fund discussing what makes a good husband

These wingnuts have no shame at all. You may remember that Mr. Fund himself was arrested several years back for assaulting his girlfriend. They were having a big fight, after it came out that Fund was screwing around with this woman and her daughter at the same time.

13. Repeat on in 10 minutes (10 am EST)!

Heads-up!
