Ford Hailed as 'Man of Integrity'
Former president to lie in state for public viewing at U.S. Capitol this weekend, state funeral set for Tuesday at Washington National Cathedral.
–Peter Baker and Michael Abramowitz 6:58 p.m. ET• Former President, 93, Dies at Home
MOST ASSUREDLY THE BULLSHIT IS RUNNING KNEE DEEP IN THE DC METRO AREA TONIGHT. OUR NATION'S CAPITOL HAS NOT SEEN THIS TYPE OF PROPAGANDA SINCE WE SPENT A WEEK MEMORIALIZING A PRESIDENT WHO ACCOMPLISHED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN HIS TWO TERMS IN OFFICE BUT A TRILLION DOLLAR NATIONAL DEBT. PRESIDENT FORD DID "Whip Inflation Now", cured us from Swine Flu and freed Eastern Europe from Soviet domination. Not to mention, Representative Gerald R. Ford spearheaded the defense and vehemently supported the Warren Commission Report on the Assassination of President John Kennedy that 80% to 90% of the people of the United States of America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas believe to be a complete miscarriage of justice and an investigative travesty.

The Three Cardinal Rules of Politics
I. Never take the Money.
If you take the money, the person that gave the money to you owns your political ass for the rest of your life. Whether the promise or the "quid pro quo" was a direct one, indirect, spoken, unspoken, implied or written, you have been purchased with a price whether it is the truth or a lie. This point leads us to rule number two.
II. Tell the truth.
Tell the truth because no one will ever believe what you are saying to them anyhow. That gives you two tremendous advantages. First, while you are moving in your truthful endeavor, the other person is wasting time trying to figure out what you said to them. Second, the truth is simple to remember. The lie is difficult to remember. You won't get caught up in a truth, and a truth will never allow a lie to slip out.
III. Keep your pants on at all times.
It is better to imagine what you would like to do, and control your vessel by yourself than to turn off your mind, to act on your primal instinct and to bend over and kiss your political ass good bye. Hell knows no fury like a woman's scorn, and only a gentlemen never kisses and tells, and there are no gentlemen in politics.
So, all you young politicians, go to confession, go back to school and augment the planet....
"Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of the world." Robert F. Kennedy, 1968.

MSNBC / Dan Abrams / NeoCons take the reigns?
The slant to the right at MSNBC is very apparent as Dan Abrams, the cousin of Eliot Abrams, one of the Vulcans, NeoCons, and what have you done lately in Iraq Mr. Rumsfeld?, ascended to the reigns.
Rita Cosby and her raspy voice went to oblivion. It sounds like a personal problem with someone?
Chris Matthews reared his ugly right wing head to make the story...your great!
Scarborough kept it up. Buchanan got a more prominent role better move to Idaho Pat!
And Tucker went from obscurity to became a beacon for news! .... without the bow tie!
AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE LIBERAL KEITH OLBERMANN TO MAKE US SLIGHTLY REMEMBER THAT NEWS, SARCASM, AND MURROW CAN FEED OUR BRAINS WITH SOME KNOWLEDGE UNTIL BRITNEY AND HILTON INVADE THE SCREEN...NO ONE WOULD WATCH THE DAMN STATION MSNBC!
Keep it up Dan Abrams...the Right Wing news that scrolls across the bottom of the screen ain't working either. You'll win the middle, but you'll lose the war.
