Hopefully this will happen. This will tie up some of Burkle's funds, union funds and funds of liberal who hate GW.

Maybe Ron Burkle can make the Clintoon a weekly Opeder and have Al Goron in charge of Global Whining articles.

More potential good news about the billionaire Ron Burkle buying out the KRI losers in the recent McClatchy/KRI deal.

I think that we are seeing a possible paradigm shift in the ownership of the once powerful Fishwraps.

Since Ronnie Boy Burkel is a friend of Dubai, may be Dubai will become co owners of this new loser network of fishwraps.

Don't get too excited about McClatchy... he's turned a day at the ballpark into a day in the Castro district here in Pittsburgh.

fox has this about Buckle and Puffy:
Puff Daddy: The Real Story Behind 'Vote or Die'

Sean Combs's new "voter awareness" organization, Citizen Change, has poached its executive director from Russell Simmons' Hip-Hop Summit Action Network.

Alexis McGill recently decamped from the HSAN, where she was political director, to run Citizen Change (slogan: "Vote or Die").

But what and who is behind Citizen Change anyway? I'm told that grocery billionaire, Democratic donor and Clinton enthusiast Ron Burkle is the guru guiding Sean "Puffy" Combs' recent conversion to political activism. And just who is Ron Burkle anyway?

You may not have noticed 50-year-old Burkle at the Democratic convention last week. He didn't speak, but his presence spoke volumes. He spent four days at the convention in a luxury suite, entertaining Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ben Affleck, Leonardo DiCaprio, John Cusack and Combs.

The McClatchy stock, MNI, is fighting for the bottom of the cess pool honors this week. So maybe this "news" is a dead cat bounce rumor to help MNI stock. The chart below shows the loser battle for last place among these dino fishwraps this week:

In fact there appears to be a little Dead Cat Bounce showing on the charts after this announcement.
