I don't look for the MO'M story to hit for a little bit yet. Chances are Duncan will bring that hammer out when they start beating the hell out of one another in the Dem primary for Governor. However, a lot of what everyone knows about MO'M is because of work that has occurred. It's been a wild ride.

Did not see the story about the vet suing Sinclair. I'm not surprised to hear it's happening, though. There's always a patsy somewhere willing to do the BS work for the wrong side.
I do forsee Duncan and MO'M beating each other to a pulp. Hell, at this point I hope it's MO'M who wins the primary.

From NCPAC | 10/19/2004 3:41:51 PM PDT replied The MO'M story still does have float - so much so that at the premier of "Engine 49" in Baltimore, MO'M and Katie (his wife) were walking around telling the Governor and anyone who would listen that they were "Still together." That's all they'd say - the 'happy couple' would walk up to whomever and say "We're still together."
Further, certain reporters have the story and are holding it - at least for now.
I saw Lieberman got canned. Then I heard (don't know whether it's true) that Sinclair caved under pressure and are not mandating that their stations air "Stolen Honor." Sinclair's Mark Hyman is a protege of MD Governor Ehrlich. Ehrlich helped Hyman land the job at Sinclair.

Amazing that they could take Kerick down sooooo easily-- yet O'Malley still roams unscathed. Should send a note to Kerick, Baltimore is looking for a Police commissioner, it doesn’t matter if you cheat on your wife.

RUMSFELD SET UP; REPORTER PLANTED QUESTIONS WITH SOLIDER

Chattanooga Times Free Press reporter Edward Lee Pitts is embedded with the 278th Regimental Combat Team, now in Kuwait preparing to enter Iraq, and is filing articles for his newspaper. Pitts claims in a purported email that he coached soldiers to ask Defense Secretary Rumsfeld questions!

From: EDWARD LEE PITTS, Chattanooga Times Free Press military reporter
Sent: Wednesday, December 8, 2004 4:44 PM

Subject: RE: Way to go

I just had one of my best days as a journalist today. As luck would have it, our journey North was delayed just long enough see I could attend a visit today here by Defense Secretary Rumsfeld. I was told yesterday that only soldiers could ask questions so I brought two of them along with me as my escorts. Before hand we worked on questions to ask Rumsfeld about the appalling lack of armor their vehicles going into combat have. While waiting for the VIP, I went and found the Sgt. in charge of the microphone for the question and answer session and made sure he knew to get my guys out of the crowd.

So during the Q&A session, one of my guys was the second person called on. When he asked Rumsfeld why after two years here soldiers are still having to dig through trash bins to find rusted scrap metal and cracked ballistic windows for their Humvees, the place erupted in cheers so loud that Rumsfeld had to ask the guy to repeat his question. Then Rumsfeld answered something about it being "not a lack of desire or money but a logistics/physics problem." He said he recently saw about 8 of the special up-armored Humvees guarding Washington, DC, and he promised that they would no longer be used for that and that he would send them over here. Then he asked a three star general standing behind him, the commander of all ground forces here, to also answer the question. The general said it was a problem he is working on.

The great part was that after the event was over the throng of national media following Rumsfeld- The New York Times, AP, all the major networks -- swarmed to the two soldiers I brought from the unit I am embedded with. Out of the 1,000 or so troops at the event there were only a handful of guys from my unit b/c the rest were too busy prepping for our trip north. The national media asked if they were the guys with the armor problem and then stuck cameras in their faces. The NY Times reporter asked me to email him the stories I had already done on it, but I said he could search for them himself on the Internet and he better not steal any of my lines. I have been trying to get this story out for weeks- as soon as I foud out I would be on an unarmored truck- and my paper published two stories on it. But it felt good to hand it off to the national press. I believe lives are at stake with so many soldiers going across the border riding with scrap metal as protection. It may be to late for the unit I am with, but hopefully not for those who come after.

The press officer in charge of my regiment, the 278th, came up to me afterwords and asked if my story would be positive. I replied that I would write the truth. Then I pointed at the horde of national media pointing cameras and mics at the 278th guys and said he had bigger problems on his hands than the Chattanooga Times Free Press. This is what this job is all about - people need to know. The solider who asked the question said he felt good b/c he took his complaints to the top. When he got back to his unit most of the guys patted him on the back but a few of the officers were upset b/c they thought it would make them look bad. From what I understand this is all over the news back home.

Thanks,

Lee

He has got to pay for those $5000 suits somehow. Right?

I agree. Slick Willy is the best politician in the history of the Planet. Bush is for his part has a natural political knack without selling out his values or pandering to special interests. Indeed, that is what makes a president great. Clinton had half the skill, he fell short on the policies and the moral stuff, as you may recall. But by recognizing Willy's political Genuis the GOP have come a long way on the path to perminant victory... while maintaining diginity and morals.

That Dowd Pict IS hillarious... the passion of the Lib.

Cry me a river!!! This is the best part of winning rubbing their noses in it.

I don't know where he was on Bork (the most brilliant conservative and legal mind in the 2oth cent) But I do know that the christians who delivered this election for bush want his head on a platter!!!

Spector is doing damage control... I don't expect him to succeed either... he is in big big trouble.

True that! they just don't get it do they.

Awesome read, I love it!

Yes, this is very interesting. Bush deserves credit for being politically smart.

I lot of the undecided people I have talked to say that Phonyheit-911 just made them want to vote for Bush, because the movie was so shameless and so full of lies. Thanks Mike Moore--GOP hero! By the way nice comment on Mikulski, she is a lezbo, funny how that hasn't been in the news either.

The point is that Kerry is French!

Yes that's for sure, they love the carpetbagger.

Sinclair was getting hit hard by MoveOn.orgers and other dem terrorist organizations. Their stock price is getting hit too. I bet Soros is short-selling tens-of-thousands of shares trying to cause panic--thus the NYT article. One thing is for sure, none of these actions will stop Sinclair, they play hardball. God bless'em.

Smack Down!!!! Hitting them were it hurts. How can they possibly respond to that? The plain and simple truth will set you free.

Nah. I'm not really active as a volunteer or anything But I read some of your comments about Keyes you said you work on a lot of campaigns and in MD doing special ops, reminded me of Rove. I agreed with the stuff you said about Keyes and Mike Steele. Shame that one nutcase doesn't get it. Anyway, just like bloggin away. We gotta be real about 2006 gonna be tough. Might need to play dirty. Most recent campaign activity: Me and my buddies went to the dem debate party at a bar in baltimore heckling Kerry, O'Malley and all the other dems kept giving us dirty looks, we just kept heckling like we were at an O's game.

I sent this post to you, did you get it? We need this kinda stuff in MD.

"There was a great article in the atlantic (lib mag my wife reads) about Rove. The writer whines all about Rove’s tricks, but they work and he is a genius. He got a rumor started about this dem judge who gave a lot of money to a charity for kids, so they took those pictures of the judge with the kids and said he was a gay pedophile. It worked.

yep shoulda said he loved her, but instead he said he loves his mommy more. Funny, his mom's last words were “Integrity”, Integrity. Integrity”. She had to tell him three times not to lie.

Dude, I would vote for Keyes in a heartbeat over Barrack Obama bin Laden. I'M GOP and will always be. It's a shame that so many GOPers in IL don't feel the same. But it is the reality, we should have fielded a better candidate, that is our job and we failed.

First of all, I'm from MD which is where Keyes is from, he is not from Ill. Lets be serious. And please, do not question my conservatism. I believe in tax cuts until there is nothing left. I'm pro-life, and Keyes is right about the moral crisis in USA. But what we need to win are trojan horses, like Bush. He came in all moderate and then took care of business for us and america is better for it. Keyes is not a trojan horse, he scares people. He can't win and therefore, we lose. Nothing is more important than winning. Once you win you do whatever you want.

Not a smear, I used to love the guy and he is right about a lot of stuff, but he can't win. And anyone that comes back beating after beating is a bit nuts. God Bless him.

Yeah, he cheats on his wife. I heard that he is not allowed in the house and is living in some new high-rise near city hall. He's is a young arrogant punk for sure. I can't him, he is like Slick-Willy.

ET. Get off the Keyes bit, he is like a ten time loser. There are new GOP Blacks that will do far better, focus on them. They need your support stop focusing on keyes, no one else is. Besides, he is a bit nuts!

I knew he wasn't going to take this crap sitting down. It's amazing, those dems are in the middle of an election that they know they are going to lose. And they are worried about Tom Delay, They should be worried about Kerry who is behind and Tommy "4 points behind" Daschle (Sen. Minority leader) who might actually lose his seat. Embarrassing.

That a boy Tommy, kick some liberal butt!

You are right about the "yes men", What can we expect this friday as far as the questions go... Do you know? Will it be a snoozer? Chenney kicked Edwards butt. It was like "Who do you want a heart beat away from the prez, Mickey mouse or George Patton. Of course, CBS (might as well call them DNC) said Edwards won.
