whoops, sorry. replied to wrong post.

I’d have to check it out, but my memory is that it was a public school teacher, possibly in DC, and that he did lose his job.

There’s no reason why this lunacy couldn’t have taken place in a hundred places around this country. Not that I’m saying that it did, just that they haven’t found a cure for stupidity yet, nor for willful ignorance.

[chesley]

That was my point, exactly. there were no mistakes.

It wasn’t unavoidable, for instance that in Florida in the closing hours of the Bush-algore race that the networks announced that the polls were closed and soon as the Eastern Time Zzone polls closed.

Too many people are still credulous regarding anything the major networks report or say. If they cover it or say it, it’s true. If they don’t it doesn’t exist or never happened. Then, there’s the lying by omission and overt manipulation. You’ve got to admit, they’re relentlessly on point. What keeps them there?

Looks like there was more than one - I know the prof from UW, but there also appears to be a “Washington DC staffer” that lost his job over the word.

They are. But they still have to hire people to ring the bells by those red kettles so, as efficient as they are, they still have room to improve.

The one man who lost his job was an aide to the Mayor of D.C.

I (incorrectly) remembered that it was Robert Byrd who used the term when speaking about the budget, but it was David Howard who used the term when speaking about the budget.

Yes. Still on SA volunteer is worth 1000 liberal, progressive, traitor Democrats on the compassion scale.

[chesley]

What keeps them there?

My gues is, "Satan".

[Vigilanteman]

Yep. And that includes even their most marginal reluctant volunteer who just good off the wagon (?) and is sweeping floors in return for their charity.

My “progressive” friends (or is that ‘progressive “friends”?’), are oblivious to the absence of fair and balanced condescension toward Democrats in the theatrical arts, that would take decades of negative comments about Democrats, to attempt to match how the medium has denegrated Republicans.
