When Walters questioned his jouralistic skills and inquired if he got a second "source" before reporting his "stories" Beck said, "I'm not a journalist, I'm not a journalist, I'm an "ENTERTAINER". Shouldn't Beck state that fact at the beginning of each show? Many people think they are listening to "News" and nothing could be further from the truth. We need legislation that forces these "entertainers" to state that their is no checking of sources, and they are not journalists or representative of "news", they are "entertainers" and book peddlers. It's only fair.<br /><br />I've enjoyed watching the reaction to the "shoe on the other foot" with Roy Blunt. I personally have 4,563 reasons not to vote for Roy Blunt and none of them concern his x-wife or his morals.believeitornothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09529763075741458976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16974359.post-45373068016373126782009-08-25T23:17:54.428-05:002009-08-25T23:17:54.428-05:00VDJ and his followers will be to blame for the dow...VDJ and his followers will be to blame for the downfall of the Republican Party. Right before his Papa Blunt rant, he stated that he's against the Republican Party consisting of a big tent and big coalitions. <br /><br />Have Democrats gained ground or lost more battles since VDJ entered Southwest Missouri?<br /><br />Give this guy his own tv show. He's one of the best allies Dems have. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyBoD7R77kIgumshoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12069008087645666120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16974359.post-42098659091972814302009-08-25T10:31:52.646-05:002009-08-25T10:31:52.646-05:00Nice write-up...

1. I...Nice write-up... My few thoughts are these:<br /><br />1. If a radio personality stated that I had committed adultery multiple times, and I hadn't... I would probably sue that person.<br /><br />2. VDJ has some serious "popsicles" (a term of his own using) for talking about the divorce/remarriage issue. Local media has avoided it for at least three election cycles.<br /><br />3. Why does Roy keep playing this "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" game with the far right wing on the Obama birth certificate issue and the so called "death panels?" Perhaps they realize that VDJ is not as marginalized as they would like to say he is?Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830469864785826999noreply@blogger.com
