Why would some kook fringe America hating leftist freak show that actually calls itself "People for the American Way" ask someone like Keith Odormoronn, who claims to have no ideological point of view, to host a fundraiser?

Touche - I never thought of it that way.

Now, is this a case of the private sector preventing truth from speaking to power or is it power speaking truth to power people,no, no its truth people speaking about power to power for truth...or something.

Anyway shouldn't Simon & Schuster get a WPITW?

Most knew that Mrs. Plame was a spy
Common knowledge she'll claim as a lie
It was widely known
Her cover was blown
It's a fact that she can't deny

could it be because she is scheduled to testify?

On a Saturday?

Jeff,

I called PFAW for comment and they have yet to return my call. All we have to go on right now is the Daily News story and according to them the reason the event was canceled is because the book is not ready to be released because the CIA has not given its approval as is required under the terms of her employment at the CIA.

A more likely scenario is that the plan was to generate maximum publicity by releasing the book in the days after the end of the Libby Trial and that KO event was part of a PR campaign for the book. If Plame were to back out of the hearings today then the Democrats would have a problem because it might suggest that her appearance in front of Congress is ALSO part of the PR campaign for the book (gee, ya think?). As it happens, the weather may be her friend. If it snows enough they may close the government and she can reschedule on a data timed to the book release. If she does not testify today just remember you heard it here first.

Oh shot..I guess that means we won't get a shot of KO handing her a check for the interview like he did with Bubba.

On a Saturday?

Brandon, a good lawyer will keep their client from doing interviews (pr stunts) of any kind prior to any legal proceedings, i.e. testimonies because any slip of the tongue on Plame's part (no pun intended) could be detrimental to the proceedings. I would guess after the hearings she (plame) will be all over the left wing media outlets.

Winner - funniest comment of the day!

Maybe he could add, "Here's a check to send 3 more Wilsons on a junket."

So KO gets stood up by a woman. Isn't Karma a bitch?

Poor Olberfool. The love of his life, Super Spy Valerie Plame, dumped him. I guess she had too many top-secret missions to go on. This could only get better if she goes on the O'Reilly Factor instead. If she is interested in selling a book she will. We all know how poorly Olbermann sells books. Olbermann's book is selling somewhere between " Where's Waldo # 50" and "Sniglets". There is still hope though. Plame might be afraid O'Reilly might expose her for the paper pushing flunky she really is. Sing it with me " Secret agent girl, secret agent girl......

Factor, according to the leftists that post here and everywhere else they can get their sheepish comments in, plame had the keys to our nuke button. It's pretty sad when Wilson had to use his old lady to get back at the people that demoted him.

The Factor/eddiebear/doc/jeff/Redwolf,
You think you are slick. Instead your inbred Klan ignorance gives you away. You are fooling no one Klansman!

loser, you need to get your turbin re-fitted, it's pinching your blood supply off! Shouldn't you be out applying for a school bus driver job w/your buddies?

Jeff/Redwolf,
Your vile Klan fill hatred shows no bounds. You just keeping digging your whole bigger Redwolf.

Unreal, I guess everyone is Redwolf!

As soon as Faux News gets out of bed with the Weekly Standard, you can start complaining about journalists hosting functions for politically leaning organizations.

You obviously have no concept of TV news. Exclusive interviews are bought all the time. The morning shows are especially notorious.

"As soon as Faux News gets out of bed with the Weekly Standard, you can start complaining about journalists hosting functions for politically leaning organizations." James 5:07

Fox is up front about whom their analysts work for unlike NBC. NBC hires Jimmy Carter appointees and calls them "analyst" or "reporters". Fox balances the Weekly Standard analyst with NPR analyst. Is NPR a right wing organization?

The Factor is just another typical English language challenged and obsessed Olby-Fearing Schizophrenic Automaton simultaneously in love with and in hate with (According to Cecelia) Keith Olbermann, parroting talking points beamed directly from Planet Cox&Fox, a planet in a galaxy not heated by the brilliance of a sun, but by the hot air produced by the twin planet-sized egos of Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly.

Isn't it funny that "Mike" vanishes and "Hyocritical" appears?

Hannity falsely claimed Clinton "blamed" Bush for mugging of 101-year-old woman

On the March 13 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity falsely claimed that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) said during a March 13 speech that the recent "mugging of a 101-year-old should be blamed on the Bush administration's cuts for community policing programs." In fact, there is no indication that Clinton attributed the March 4 attack on a 101-year-old Queens, New York, woman to President Bush. As co-host Alan Colmes pointed out later in the program, Clinton noted the mugging as an example of why, she said, people are "feeling unsafe again in [their] communities" and highlighted the need to make "crime reduction a No. 1 objective" and "reinstate and fund the COPS [Community Oriented Policing Services] program."

Hannity made his comment about Clinton during a discussion with Republican strategist Mary Matalin and also cited a March 14 New York Daily News article on the incident that mentioned Clinton's speech. He went on to describe Clinton as "basically blaming Bush for cuts to community policing programs," which "le[d], you know, to this incident."

But contrary to Hannity's claim, Clinton did not indicate that the Bush administration's "cuts to community policing programs" led to the mugging. Following is the portion of Clinton's speech at the National League of Cities 2007 Annual Congressional City Conference during which she brought up the incident:

CLINTON: This is about not only the victims of crime and their families. It is about people feeling unsafe again in our communities; people who are afraid to let their kids go outside and play; seniors who lock themselves in afraid to go anywhere -- we had a horrible mugging the other day in New York City. A 101-year-old woman in her walker was attacked in an elevator [sic]. Now, she was pretty feisty, and she just showed great New York resilience and basically got the guy to run off because she was able to prevent him from taking advantage of her -- but that was on the front page of our papers.

Imagine how that makes every widow living alone, every older person, everybody -- we've got to go back to making crime reduction a No. 1 objective in our country and that means we've got to reinstate and fund the COPS program so we put more police on the streets.

In the Daily News article, Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said of Clinton's comments: "It's unfortunate that Hillary Clinton is trying to score cheap political points off the mugging of an elderly woman."

From the March 14 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:

HANNITY: Well, New York's junior senator is also making waves today with the claim that the mugging of a 101-year-old should be blamed on the Bush administration's cuts for community policing programs. Joining us now, former adviser to Vice President Cheney, Mary Matalin is with us.

You know, Mary, let me tell you --

MATALIN: It's silly season. I mean, there's just this -- all of today's above topics fall under silly season, don't they?

HANNITY: There are a lot of -- a lot of it does, but, you know, it's fascinating to me. No one can deny her husband is a masterful politician, I think. He's smooth. Whatever those gifts are, you know, everyone tells you that has met him, you're the only person that exists when you meet him. She's shrill. She's angry. She's reactive to Barack Obama. She can't seem to get her footing. Why not?

MATALIN: Well, she's not him, but that's cool, OK? I'm not James. You're not your wife. She has considerable political skills of her own, and they are mighty, believe me, and conservatives should not underestimate them.

What was odd about this burst was, it's not politically smart. If we know something or anything about this political environment, it's that people want -- they don't want that sort of political diatribe anymore, and they want to look forward. They want to turn the page. They want something fresh.

Her political liability right now is not that her skills are comparative to her husband's necessarily, but that she's not fresh. She's not the fresh thing. She's not the new thing. So, by bringing up these old, ancient, and the negative kind of politics that people eschew in this environment, it's just -- it's not smart politics. I don't understand it.

HANNITY: You know something, Mary? We're now at the stage where, you know, not only is Bush wrong on everything, he's responsible for anything that goes wrong. You know, Hillary's statement is quoted in the Daily News today, you know, basically blaming Bush for cuts to community policing programs leading, you know, to this incident.

[...]

COLMES: This Daily News article, I saw nothing in there that blamed Bush. What I read was that Hillary Clinton said that she can imagine how the mugging of a 100-year-old woman makes every older person make everybody feel, and she said we have to get back to making crime reduction a number-one objective. Help me understand where the president was blamed here, because I didn't see that.

MATALIN: Because, obviously implicit in that is that it's not been a key objective of this administration -- and it has been -- and there's been increased funding, and, indeed, the data shows that crime has gone down consistently over the five or six years that --

COLMES: She never said anything to the contrary.

MATALIN: With all that data --

COLMES: She said: "Let's help make crime reduction a number-one objective." And you're taking -- they're so sensitive in the Bush administration that, somehow, it's perceived that that's a slight against Bush.

You sad sacks. We don't watch Fox or CBS or ABC and we don't root for someone else.

We hate Olbermann. That's it.

You might as well be posting about Univision anchors when you bring up another channel. That's not what we are about.

$10 to the most original post about another channel in relation to Olbermann's program. Is Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs running opposite on Discovery?

Doc:
And it probably does better than your hero. But it is nice to see that for once, the words "stiff" and "Olbermann" can be used.

As for "coward"

Speak slower. I'm not fluent in idiot.

olbermann is as easy to hate as hannity. We of the silent majority cant stand either of them.

Knock it off olbermannwatch. Shes to old for Keith...comeeee...on..gezzzzzzzzzzz.
