Here 's this sunday's Media Nuggets

###### AP's terrorist-cameraman, -> Bilal Hussein goes to Iraqi judiciary system.

###### Fox Entertainment Group aquires Beliefnet. Beliefnet, the largest online faith and spirituality destination, will become part of Fox Digital Media.

###### Unworthy News for MSM! -> War is twice as popular as Congress.

###### Deep Job Cuts @ San Diego Union-Tribune -> Circulation has sharply declined echoing a nationwide trend.

###### The Real "W" -> Glenn Beck's off-the-record meeting with W. Beck left the White House stunned and awestruck with his sense of Bush's command of the situation. "He is clear and focused, and there are no hems and haws. I would not want to sit across the table from him as an enemy. He said a few things that were breathtaking, and my immediate response was, 'Why are you not saying this?' and he explained. I can't quote him. All I can say is that he has Abraham Lincoln-honorable reasons ... he has chosen not to say certain things. But (the Iraq war) is going much better than people think."

###### Treason, Plagiarism and Wash.Post! -> Dana Priest in particular.

###### Rush, Clear Channel & Romney! -> Bain Capital to aquire Clear Channel! (Romney is the founder of Bain Capital).

###### McClatchy, Scripps Predict '08 Sales Decline -> they cite housing slump as reason, R E A L L Y.

###### Under-Reported / UnReported by MSM -> democrat governor in real estate scandal & Ex-Broward County Sherrif (D) sent to Prison.

###### Matthew Dowd became Maureen Dowd, so now he is also ABC News CON-tributor.

###### AP(!): Democrats Cry Uncle on Taxes, Spending. Cracks are emerging in congressional Democrats' solidarity, as frustrated lawmakers concede their majority status is not enough to overcome Republican resistance on taxes, spending, Iraq and a host of other issues.

###### Another Hllary-Plant -> Sneaks Under MSM Radar! And there 's one (from John Podesta's CAP) on Brit Hume's show too thro' Kathryn Harridge as Iran analyst.

F W I W .........

*** Politico's Jim Vandehei's wife Hanna Vandehei was a former Tom Delay staffer.

*** AP's Nedra Pickler recently got married in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico to Eric Conner, Fox News cameraman.

*** Rove Visits Duke -> Some students in shock, others in awe.

*** Combat Medic -> Miss Utah Jill Stevens. There will be one military hero at the 2008 Miss America Pageant in January.

The Jawa weighs in on Huckabee...

In all of this, I always come back to the fact that we're preparing to hire the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Where the rubber meets the road and push comes to shove, the Commander-in-Chief is called upon to serve, quite frankly, as Chief Bringer of Death to America's Enemies. As I've learned more about Mike Huckabee, I've become increasingly convinced that this man, like Jhimmi Carter and B.J. Clinton before him, just doesn't appear to have the stomach for the less polite aspects of this particular job.

This is pretty much my take on Huckabee.

Thanks anita. Did you see this jewel? This was on page A-4 of the Austin paper today. I didn't see it posted on FR today yet.

From the article:

For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.

Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.

Lawmakers Briefed on Waterboarding in 2002

I think the President is wrong on this. The DBM and Dems are chewing him to bits, and putting our nation and even Western civilization in peril with their greedy quest for power and their failed socialist-utopian theories.

The President needs to--once and for all--speak out loudly, strongly, and unceasingly!

Hi Anita!
Brilliant catch on the AP cameraman!
Your nuggets maintain an excellence that is hard to imagine week after week!
We continue to expose the enemy from within that can do us the most harm of all through research like yours.
