Sunday morming. The topic was about leaks, journalism and bush wanting to penalize journalists for reporting leaks.

Braindead bushbots were calling in, slobbering all over chimpies knob. I knew I has to do something, so I called in and said my peace...

I said I *wanted* to know about torture, that I'm glad that the media clued me in. I said that syping wasn't the story, that the story was the way the spying was done. I said that there seems to be a double-standard when it comes to leaks, mentioning Plame as an example, lastly I said that when the most secretive administration in recent memory wants to become even more secretive by handcuffing the press I become very concerned.

It was great expressing myself on national TV, and knowing at the same time that my comments were enraging braindead lockstep bushbots.

The caller after me made wonderful comments. That because the House no longer excersizes it's oversight of the Executive function, that the checks and balances come only from the media. Great comments, I totally agree with them. Without the media, things would be much, much worse. And yes, I know, the MSM have been little more than stenographers when it comes to the chimp, but I believe the tide is turning.
