Must be a day of the week ending in the letter "y." <br /><br />Ace of Spades had a great piece a few days back about how media negligence allowed this, and many other scandals, to occur by failing to keep the heat on this administration which still feels entirely free to be all "what-that's-outrageous-I-had-no-idea-zzzz" in response to every hideous dereliction of duty that actually makes the news. If heat was applied, even a little, shit would roll down hill and people down the hill would be making an effort to serve the public rather than serving themselves. As it is, the shit is still highly concentrated at the top.Amartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636450794507517534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-21265139847076175892014-05-22T12:54:48.200-04:002014-05-22T12:54:48.200-04:00CNN did not "break" the story.

The reporter looked incredulous and replied, "People are dying. The VA is lying about double sets of books. I have spoken w/ 10 employees of the VA Hospital[Phoenix]. They wrote to Shinseki TWO WEEKS AGO asking for assurances that if they came forward they would not be punished. THEY RECEIVED NO REPLY." Wolf then quietly thanked the guy for his report. I loved this reporter. But, Wolf Blitzer, who embarrasses himself on Jeopardy, not knowing BASIC shit, is the man @ CNN.

His presidency is and has been all about racial symbolism. He's the quota hire. <br /><br />It says something about American idealism that we elected an inexperienced incompetent president for symbolic reasons. The ethno-masochists like ARM are inexplicable for any other reason.<br /><br />A Republican will be elected president again, despite the blather from the ethno-masochists.
