Excellent MT! And O'Reily was great! Perhaps we should start flooding msnbc with emails with our dislike/distrust/anger over their bias coverage. I don't watch that news outlet anyways but I'm glad O'Reily brought it to our attention. I just watch FOX.
Kind of funny though...that during the democratic convention coverage, FOX had the most viewers. Go figure! And of course the conservatives have the monopoly on the airwaves. Thank God!

Sal I can't believe your remarks about women running for office. Did you just walk out of a cave somewhere, by the way it's 2008. I'm a male over 65 and I'm going to pull the lever on Nov 4 for McCain/Palin because McCain picked Palin for his running mate, prior to that I was not very happy with either candidate. IMHO Obama is all fluff and no substance.
McCain: I may postpone convention By MIKE ALLEN | 8/30/08 3:52 PM EST
John McCain said the Republican National Convention may be postponed as federal officials said Hurricane Gustav was gathering to a devastating Category 5 as it headed toward star-crossed New Orleans.
“It just wouldn't be appropriate to have a festive occasion while a near-tragedy or a terrible challenge is presented in the form of a natural disaster,” McCain told Chris Wallace of “Fox News Sunday,” in an interview taped for tomorrow. “So we're monitoring it from day to day and I'm saying a few prayers, too.”
McCain also said: “I'm afraid, Chris, that we may have to look at that situation and we'll try to monitor it. I've been talking to Govs. Jindal, Barbour, Riley. Chris, I've been talking to all of them.”
Officials at the convention, which is to open Monday in St. Paul, Minn., tell Politico they are figuring out how to handle the formal business of nominating McCain even if some delegations are not able to attend.
The officials also are preparing program contingencies in case such speakers as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal have to cancel.
Maria Cino, the convention’s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement to Politico: "Like all Americans, our prayers are with those who will be affected by Hurricane Gustav. We continue to closely monitor the movement of the storm and are considering necessary contingencies.
“We are in communication with the Gulf state governors to make sure the convention is taking all the appropriate steps as the hurricane progresses. The safety of our affected delegations is our first priority and preparing for Gustav comes before anything else."
On Friday, Cino vowed on C-SPAN, in a quote picked up by the Drudge Report, that the gavel will come down.
President Bush, first lady Laura Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are scheduled to speak Monday. The government’s botched response to Hurricane Katrina still stings, and Republicans said they doubt the president would come to a political bash if New Orleans was facing an existential threat.
New Orleans officials said they might begin a full evacuation Monday.
FEMA is already in New Orleans moving people out of harms way from hospitals and buses are taking people who are evacuating to other states to train terminals and bus stations. For once they are right on top of the situation, so far. Anyone who doesn't evacuate from this storm is crazy as it looks to be one of the strongest hurricanes to hit the USA.
It's 10 AM. A Phone Is Ringing. And Obama Has to Apologize for 'Hair Trigger' Response
By Mark Finkelstein (Bio | Archive) August 30, 2008 - 15:28 ET
It was more like 10 AM than 3 AM. Somewhere, a phone was ringing, to announce the news that John McCain had selected Sarah Palin as his running mate. And the immediate response of Barack Obama's operation was intemperate and inappropriate. Obama found himself apologizing, calling the reaction "hair trigger." He and Biden subsequently made the more gracious kind of comment that should have been offered in the first place. Senators get to "revise and extend" their remarks when they've said something dumb on the floor. That's not always the case for presidents. A "hair trigger" reaction to a real crisis could have disastrous consequences.
Said Obama spokesman Bill Burton snidely when the news broke:
Quoted Text
Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies -- that's not the change we need, it's just more of the same
Compare and contrast with the gracious, statesmanlike ad McCain aired on the day of Obama's acceptance speech. Obama eventually realized that his campaign's intemperate reaction was out of line. According to the AP, Obama "blamed the mixed messages about McCain's choice, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, on campaign aides with a "hair trigger."
What does it say about Barack Obama that he has surrounded himself with these kind of aides? What does it say about Barack Obama that when his operation slips up, he blames his aides? Whatever happened to "the buck stops here?" What would happen if the phone rang in an Obama White House at 3 AM with news potentially much more lethal than the naming of the distinguished lady from Alaska?
In his acceptance speech, Obama cockily claimed:
Quoted Text
If John McCain wants to have a debate about who has the temperament and judgment to serve as the next commander-in-chief, that's a debate I'm ready to have.
Will the MSM point out that the very next day, the temperament the Obama operation displayed was a hair-trigger one?

I dont like the attitude of you here people because my opinion is differing from yous people. If I think it is bad tro put a woman on the ticket for national office wait and see when the rest of america backs me over here. My own wife said she should stay home and take care of those babies there and stop running around trying to be a man. My aunt who is 88 was disgusted that a woman should try to take a mans job like that too, and if my parents were alive they would want to go back over to the other side and give up on the country. The women and the seniors and the men just turned away from McCain so who is left? No one now he loses by 20 points This is an infamita. A sin against God. And I dont mean Bob GOD either.

A sin against God??
Your attitude (and your wifes) is so archaic ... does your wife know she has the right to wear pantsuits yet - or have you kept her in a bubble?
The Italian attitude for women is to be subservient to their "man" - and do whatever they're told to do ... I know, I live it with all my elderly family. It's despicable. I can't believe any woman would CHOOSE to live that way these days.
There are plenty of men, women, and informed seniors who will vote for McCain/Palin because they are conservative in their beliefs and want to lower taxes, cut wasteful spending, and get the corruption out of politics.
Salvatore - interesting question. Who are your relatives (wife grandmother) going to vote for? A black man with an older white man, or a white man with a female vp?
we will see but this woman has five kids count them five and seems to this old stunod that she should be home with them taking care of them like Susie Savage should be, and most women I know agree with me. She will bring it all down since the nation doesnt want a woman

Eloquent, I guess - but you didn't answer my question - or Shadow's
I can't believe the Gazette FINALLY published something on their website, buried at the bottom in the "national"section of their website about this Aug 30, 7:31 PM EDT
As to our coverage of the selection, we have given the same coverage in our newspaper and on the Web site for each candidate. The bulk of the reporting was handled by The Associated Press, with one of our reporters writing a local reaction piece.
