how much do you want to bet that he's NOT heading up the reconstruction? you've just been successfully spun your lordship.  again. |
Give it a fucking rest, twit. When you read a story that mentions "Republicans" in repudable papers like the NYTimes, WaPost, WSJ, LaTimes, etc., that usually means anonymoty, like you see here in the paragraphs leading up to that one:
| quote: | Instead, administration officials and a Republican close to the White House said Mr. Bush would offer some general principles about "building a better New Orleans" with stricter construction standards to try to avoid a replay of the recent catastrophe. Republicans said Mr. Bush would not mention a price tag, in large part because of budget and political pressures from House Republicans and other supporters angry about administration spending.
Republicans said Karl Rove, the White House deputy chief of staff and Mr. Bush's chief political adviser, was in charge of the reconstruction effort, which reaches across many agencies of government and includes the direct involvement of Alphonso R. Jackson, secretary of housing and urban development. |
They don't want to be named for a reason, and the journalists here respect that, at least for now.
So how much do you wanna bet? Why the fuck would "Republicans", esp. one close to Bush say Rove is in charge when he fucking isn't in charge?
Or are you trying to get on your cute little It's-All-A-Darn-Liberal-Media-Conspiracy horse and blame these journalists for making shit up?
How much you bettin' this time, champ?
Oh, and speaking of that darn liberal media, this is digressing a bit but I think it's worth pointing out:
| quote: | That same day, CNN's parent company, Time Warner, announced the hiring of DeLay's chief of staff as a top Washington lobbyist. This news, and its timing, prompted Jeff Chester of the Center for Digital Democracy to tell the L.A. Weekly: "Time Warner aligning itself with the right-wing DeLay machine should send shudders [down] CNN and HBO."
...At least that wily old codger Sumner Redstone, head of Viacom, parent company of CBS, has admitted what everyone already knows is true: that, while he personally may be a Democrat, "It happens that I vote for Viacom. Viacom is my life, and I do believe that a Republican administration is better for media companies than a Democratic one."
...As for Immelt, he publicly wishes his MSNBC could be a clone of FNC. Not surprising, since he let his network and cable news cheerlead the run-up to the Iraqi war without ever bothering to tell viewers GE had billions in contracts pending. More than half of Iraq's power grid is GE technology.
...Disney, parent company of ABC, has turned most of its extensive radio network and owned-and-operated stations into a 24/7 orgy of right-wing talk. (Sean Hannity is their poster boy.)

Big fucking liberal conspiracy, all-day, all the fucking time, right?
| quote: | | what boggles me is that i know you are not that stupid to fall for that crap. or maybe you're the one with Rove on the brain? |
What boggles me more is how you merely handwave it away as if to say, "nope, didn't fucking happen because they're not namin' names", or "nope, didn't happen because it's a fucking liberal conspiracy".
Which one is it for you, fellow tin foil mad hatter?
