If media types like Cooper start questioning the haloed one on TV, I’ll take it and I won’t focus on his prior support. We may believe that a tsunami for the GOP is coming in Nov., but frankly I’ll take help from anyone and any quarter.
AC = useful idiot
Congressional Report Claims Administration Misled About Efforts on Oil Spill
"Two White House officials visited [Nungesser] on Father’s Day and said, “What do we have to do to keep you off TV?” His answer was, “Give me what I need.”"
“it’s an attempt to give workers some room without a gaggle of JAFOs “helping”.”
Are you really aware of the size of the problem? Miles and miles and miles of beach.
Are you ok with BO keeping this under wraps?
Ah, the Hell with it.
Better that they turn up the heat on the frogs all the faster.
Perhaps Cooper should interview some of Castro’s incarcerated reporters. They weren’t the enemy either, until a tyrant deemed them so.
It's his turn... remember "first they came for the Jews, but I wasn't a Jew".
Hey Cooper, your turn is coming up...
” ... modern photographic equipment ...”
I think you’ve got a point.
But, it is mighty ironic to see the liberal media given a dose of reality.
Now let’s see them use some ingenuity to develop sources and get their stories and pix anyway.
They forgot to keep themselves honest first.
So our "Dear Leader" and his brownshirts want to...
Evacuate before the hurricanes hit those coasts.
Disarm all the people.
Put all the Tea Partiers in relocation camps.
In the past I’ve seen local reporters and such going out with fisherman, and others who have been out on the water - scientists, and others working within the ‘response system’.
It seems to me that needing CG permission before boarding ANY boat that is ‘involved in the cleanup’ would be INCLUDED in this ruling. Meaning that in practice instead of the press being allowed to ‘ride along’ with ANY of the boats they would need CG permission, FIRST.
I wonder what the rules are that are already in place regarding aerial ‘surveillance’? Someone posted something from Gore’s site regarding the press being denied permission to film from the air, but this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of that.
Despite the fact that the US MSM are idiots, and I don’t think Anderson or any of them would report everything anyway, BUT - this is still a questionable action (especially when one considers who exactly is making the new ‘rules’).
This man/child has NO idea how to lead.

Only if you are assuming that he wants to go the same direction that you or any country/humanity-loving person would want to go.
He is so petulant, that he is actively denying the Gulf States the aid that they should have, because they have the gall to vote for Republican governors and presidents.
Some people call him cool, but he is cold as ice. He is as unresponsive to human need as any of the great dictators of the past century. He does not care if the economy of the Gulf states collapses. As a matter of fact, the thought of their collapse probably does give him a little bit of a warm feeling.
When ever I see a pic of him I want to smash my monitor. He despise him with my whole being.
This is communism at work. We need more reporters willing to stake their reputations and possibly even their lives to bring this kind of news to the American public, and we need a major media outlet with enough fortitude and honesty to broadcast it.
I wish I had the money to purchase a TV station like CBS or NBC. I'd turn it totally conservative and blast this governmental regime 24 hours a day!
As a cruising sailor who has lived the past twenty years on the water, I agree; at least as pertains to vessels, booms etc. on the water. I see no reason, other than politics, however for similar restrictions on the beach.
Oh really.
Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791.

Maybe 66 feet would be an issue? Rules of the road on the water and laws regarding such are and have been in place. For instance a powered vessel should give way to a vessel under sail... This new rule is nothing more than the government inch that will allow the government mile. What exactly precipitates this rule -where are the safety incidents that now require a 65 foot buffer?
There will be reluctant conservatives born from this.
No doubt there will. But, always remember that lunatic over at LGF. A temporary ally at best, a fox in the henhouse at worst.
