“This week we were surprised to see several hundred artists and writers walking through the streets of Baghdad to say thank you to Saddam Hussein. He had just increased their monthly financial support. Cynical, you could argue at this particular time, but the state has always supported the arts, and some of the most creative people in the Arab world have always been Iraqis. And whatever they think about Saddam Hussein in the privacy of their homes, on this occasion they were praising his defense of the homeland in the face of American threats.”

One thing you have to give Petah Jennings credit for---He NEVER fails to deliver in the Arrogant Condescension Dept.

“If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”

Unfrigginbelievable.

“You became First Lady like no other First Lady before you. You had your own interests, you got involved in public policy. No First Lady had done that without being severely criticized. Did you realize what you were getting into?” “I don’t think people realize how strong your faith is.”

-- Barbara Walters to Hillary Clinton in a June 8 ABC special promoting her book, Living History. [34 points]

Translation: You became the shame of all of the First Ladies before you . You always had your own SELF-SERVING interests. You got involved in soooo many criminal activities. You were severely criticized by anyone with half a brain. Did you realize how much you were hated? I don't think people realize the lengths you will go to get what you want!

Jennings beats out Michael Moore only because he has a larger audience.

an accident Kennedy did not report for several hours.

Kennedy never reported the accident. Two boys fishing found the car the next day. The sheriff had already found out who the owner was from the RMV. Kennedy encountered the Sheriff on the way back to the accident scene the next day and said he was meaning to report it. ("Oh, mean there's a Blond in the Pond?")

This is a little unfair. Cronkite and Thomas are senile, doddering old left-wingers, hardly able to to find their teeth in the morning. Everything they say (written stuff will be well edited, however) will sound stupid, especially in the days before their meds are tweaked. There are some real whacko neocommunist left wing media types out there who more richly deserve some of these rewards. Prestigious prizes like these should go to those lefties who drool because the are rabid, not because they are senile.

The Jennings one is the only one I'd call "reporting"-- maybe the 60 Minutes one. The rest are opinion shows and forums. I thought this was a report of media bias in reporting of news stories.

I did a Google search on "Charles Pierce", the author of the 'Quote of the Year', and the first thing I found was:

"Charles Pierce"

But after adding "Boston Globe", I think I found the right(left?) guy:

"Charles Pierce"

I thought Cronkite was dead. Oh well, I'll guess I'll have to switch back my plans from pissing on his grave to spitting in his face.

Preschoolers come here [to the food bank] with their parents and play in boxes as empty as the day’s want ads.

Wholly crap! Did Scott Pelley of CBS really say that?

"This is the worst President ever. He [George W. Bush] is the worst President in all of American history.”
-- Hearst White House columnist Helen Thomas at a Society for Professional Journalism banquet, as quoted by the Torrance, California Daily Breeze’s John Bogert in a January 19 story. [80 points]"

That mad old cow would know. She's been around for most of them.

"“We are about to show you bread lines in America that you may find hard to believe. With the recession there has been a sudden leap in the number of people on emergency food assistance. The lines we found looked like they’d been taken from the pages of the Great Depression. It’s not just the unemployed. We found plenty of people working full-time, but still not able to earn enough to keep hunger out of the house. If you think you have a good idea of who’s hungry in America today, come join the line. You’d never guess who you’d meet there....Almost half the people fed by these lines are kids. The Agriculture Department figures one out of six children in America faces hunger; that’s more than 12 million kids. Nationwide, children have the highest poverty rate. Preschoolers come here with their parents and play in boxes as empty as the day’s want ads.”
-- CBS’s Scott Pelley’s report from a food line in Marietta, Ohio, on the January 8 60 Minutes II. [74 points] "

Then why are poor people in this country so damn fat?

Yeah, creative in the ways of torturing and murdering people.

I love comments like this. This ranks with Robert Redford saying of Bush's energy bill: "This is the worst energy bill I have ever seen in my entire life."

And the Left calls people EXTREMISTS? Can you get more extreme than calling someone the worst president ever, the worst bill ever? And then they go and trash Bush's nominees, who go to Congress and give reasonable, moderate responses to the Senate committees.

So, who's being extreme here?
