Mouth biting off the hand that feeds it?
This from the NY Times:
“Trump is now hiding behind NBC when asked the single most important question in front of him: Are you going to run for president?” Mr. O’Donnell said. “NBC is hiding behind NBC.”
Wonder if this is why O'Donnell was missing tonight?

Thanks for posting this. I've heard about it but not taken the time to find it. I wish I could podcast O'Donnell.
Everything comes with an ad. so attach two or three ads and let me podcast it please. Of course, we got two ads with this one. Trump sure knows marketing.

Well Larry, did you really think you could slam the folks you work for and a guy that gets 5 times the viewers and an even larger amount of ad dollars than you for your company and win?
You are such an insignificant player in the business anyway.
The only thing that I would enjoy more than you being bitch slapped would be to see The Donald walk in to your office and tell you to pack up your stuff Larry, YOU ARE FIRED!
Oh well, reality is that your numbers are so bad, you have a home at MSNBC.

O'Donnell is both honest with his feelings and a bold faced liar at the same time - "Jesus is a socialist - according to the bible - what a duplicitous dufus ! how can anyone take him or any of the other clowns masquerading as talk show hosts over at MSNBC seriously ? Nothing personal, Joanie and Sparkles et.al - but if you want to take it that way, fine with me.
As for Trump, the odds are he won't run, but he can shake up the maggot infested MSM and the low information Americans as well as anyone out there now. Trump is a populist, not a conservative. He can piss a number of people off, but not the degree of the current and last president - both of whom are incompetent. This is shaping up to be a surrealistic campaign and is going to be a big f'in deal...

Looked like Chris Hayes filling in tonight. When Olbermann was fist suspended last year, they allegedly called Chris Hayes first to fill in, he refused. Although I was thinking that it was because of the comments last night.

The NDP in Canada is threatening the Harper Regime. I love it. Watching The National on CBC. Can you imagine Canada throwing over the Bush-clone Harper for Layton? Only in my dreams. Of course, the conservatives follow that well-worn path to personal attacks: a ramshackle party that won't last.
I think human beings everywhere are ready for change.
BTW, wonder what those southern states are thinking about social safety nets and "gumment" money these days? The Big Guy is reminding them to mind their manners big time.
Posted by: joanie | April 28, 2011 at 10:16 PM
joanie, I have been following that race on CBC and Global National(a private-sector Canadian Broadcaster), and the NDP has touched a nerve in Quebec. The separatist Bloc is now lashing out at them too! To think the NDP has only one seat in Quebec right now. The opposition parties managed to force this election on a contempt motion, the first ever in Canada, let alone the Commonwealth.
As for the South, I am sure they will probably take the money, assuming it is there, wasn't Disaster Relief cut in one of the Continuing Resolutions? In Missouri, Lambert Field took a big hit on Friday, but was operational again by Monday. Loved the way MetroSt.Louis handled the situation. When Lambert Field was closed, they annulled service on the Metrolink Red line to it's two Lambert FIeld Stations, but when it re-opened, the stations did too.

I don't know as much as you do about the politics of Canada but tried to follow the attempts by the conservatives to defeat that motion. Harper was not honest.

Railfan, how do you keep up with everything?
Posted by: joanie | April 28, 2011 at 10:37 PM
Podcasts, and some news feeds. Sometimes I listen for a few minutes, if nothing good, I skip to the next ones. The info about the St. Louis Metrolink I mentioned, it was from a railfan board. The moderator does searches almost daily and posts a few articles. One of them was the service alert. The moderator was from the NJ-area. Reminds me, got to go check that board.

Since when is "Blacks" racist ? only the idiocracy would parrot assininity like that. There should an intelligence test for all voters - if that were the case, the leftist progressives would squeal about disenfranchisement and start running with that mantra again...
Posted by: KS | April 28, 2011 at 10:40 PM
ESPN's 30 for 30 Documentary Film series did a good one called "Who Killed the USFL", and although it did not entirely point fingers, it did kind of suggest Donald Trump helped. He was the owner of the New York Generals, and was instrumental in the shift to the fall, which led to the court battle. Trump's response in that one was he made the USFL. Although Generals QB Doug Flutie said they should have stayed in the Spring.(Flutie, who went onto a long carreer int he Canadian Football League, and then with the NFL, retiring with New England, and his last play was the first Drop Kick in decades).
Also, Joanie, something about the disaster aid got me thinking. I remember that Keith Olbermann often would get donations moving at times. The case of power outage on a South Daota Native American Reservation, and the effects after, he awarded the Bureau of Indian Affairs the Worst Person honors, and then got responses from viewers that were asking, where do they donate.

Trump is not a racist. People liek the Joanus go around with their noses p in the air, sneering at a turn of phrase liek 'the blacks" and making a big deal abiu tot, when it means nothing. Trump , just lik myself, and Chucks , KS and other nonlibs has had more black friends and just general interstion with blacks over the years than any of these prissy, pious little Seattle libtards liek the Joanus, Coiler and Sparky who think their shit doesn't stick in regards to their racial tolerance.

that fat Repug jackass who doess the polling groups on Foxnews, Frank Luntz, he asks the people sitting in rows of chairs in the room various questions, just claimed in great anger that he knows Trump won't run ("doesn't have the guts to run" were big boy's exact words) and challenged Trump to a ten grand wager that he won't run. Man i've never seen anyone infuriate these Repug conservatives as much as Trump is.

yeah the old "i have black friends" thing, except that it's true.

Posted by: Tommy008 | April 29, 2011 at 04:52 PM
I'm dissapointed in KIRO for committing to a path of slow demise. We can only hope the next three years don't damage the station, and the region too badly. Perhaps Monson will manage to avoid insulting minority communities, scaring our best and brightest away from serving the public, and generaly eroding the sense of community in the Seattle area that has been lacking for far too long, due in no small part to the lack of good will and community building on our public airwaves.
Kudos to Dave Ross for saving the fireworks and Ron and Don for their fund raising activities. It's nice to know that some broadcasters still take commitment to the public seriously and don't squander the platform on hatred and childish whimsy.
Posted by: Andrew | April 29, 2011 at 06:31 PM
Don't think the independents really want Trump to run against BO. He makes the microphone into a megaphone but he is a businessman - both liberal and conservative and a progressive in some ways. For instance, he favors universal health care & the death panels - as currently exist in the UK - yeah he really said it.
Sarah you a projecting your racism well upon others. Keep it up just like your mentor (sic) Joanie does.
Posted by: KS | April 29, 2011 at 06:34 PM
Trump also favors the death penalty when it suits him
In 1989 Donald Trump took out a full page ad in four New York City newspapers calling for the execution of the alleged rapists in the infamous Central Park Jogger case. Never mind that the five alleged assailants were all minors, or that rape wasn’t a capital crime. There was a moral panic to be stoked.
And stoked it was. New York’s media parted with their tradition of not publishing the names of minors accused of crimes. The case gave us the term “wilding”, described at the time as the name violent youth gangs gave their sprees of crime and terror, but which was most likely the result of an NYPD detective who misunderstood the lyrics to a Tone Lōc song. The case made national headlines, and fueled the growing myth of the super-predator, in which the law-and-order crowd terrified white suburbia with tales of a rising class of young, black uber-criminals. The explosion in violent juvenile crime predicted by the likes of William Bennett and John DiIulio, Jr. never happened.
If Trump had his way, all of the Central Park Five would have been dead by 2002. That’s the year Matias Reyes, already in prison for rape and murder, confessed to the crime, and insisted he acted alone. DNA tests had already confirmed that only one person raped victim Trisha Meili. Further testing showed Reyes was that person. Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morganthou later vacated the convictions of the other five suspects, all of whom had already served their sentences for the attack.
Now, one of the wrongly convicted, Raymond Santana, wants Trump the presidential candidate to apologize. From NY1:
Santana was 14 years old at the time. He says Trump’s call for the “death penalty” helped fuel the media firestorm before the suspects even went to trial.
“It says a lot about his character. If he can give the death penalty to 14-year-old, 15-year-old kids then there’s nothing he would not do. Those are characteristics of a tyrant, not characteristics of a president,” Santana said.
Santana served seven years in prison in connection with the rape and beating of Trisha Meili.
All five of the accused have sued the city. That lawsuit is still pending.
Trump is nothing more than a carnival barker. Not a liberal or independent.

You stole a line from the community agitator in chief - its a lame and feckless response. Wrong on both counts - He is a liberal an independent and also a conservative. Trump scares the bejeezus out of leftist lemmings because he will change things a sabotage the one world order that you naively relish - not just give platitudes and keep creating strawmen like Mr. Obama is so adept at.
Time to grow up Coils - face reality and realize this country is going down the toilet with the rest of the excrement. It may well take a mover and shaker like Trump to restore the greatness of this country - which is now a shadow of its former self.

How about bringing back our manufacturing industry that has lost 6 million jobs over the years, repealing NAFTA, stop capitulating to China - something both parties have failed miserably at. The greatness in America is something you dislike Joanie - because it espouses conservative values, spending within our means, respect by other countries and absent of fraudulent political correctness that the leftists have infiltrated and polluted the culture with. Stop living in the 60's or are you on a perpetual acid trip that has polluted your mind for good ?
Profound -alright in what way ? Back up your assertions with some facts for a change.

You and the Donald are the racists.
Despite Donald Trump’s claim this week that he avoided serving in the Vietnam War solely due to a high draft number, Selective Service records show that the purported presidential aspirant actually received a series of student deferments while in college and then topped those off with a medical deferment after graduation that helped spare him from fighting for his country, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Posted by: Coiler | April 29, 2011 at 08:41 PM
Playing the race card is the last refuge of a scoundrel. It is clear that you have run out of arguments. Your stupidity is amazing...
Trump was truthful about avoiding serving in Vietnam. The rest is irrelevant from the maggots in the media where you dug up this article. Why does Trump scare you so much ?

Coiler, thanks for mentioning A. Phillip Randolph and the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. I think that union is still around, folded first into the Airline Clerks Union, and now the current Amtrak Employees Union. The merger with the Airline Clerks Union happened around 1975, Pullman went broke in 1968. I saw the bust of Randolph in Union Station in D.C.
Also, wasn't it the same D.A. still in charge when they had to announce that they had the wrong people in the Central Park Jogger case? Plus, the Death Penalty is beginning to be abolished again in several states, New York briefly had it, Illinois just abolished it, and both sides were lobbying Governor Quinn, including Lt. Governor Simon(Paul Simon's daughter, and her father once occupied the same seat) on the pro-abolition side, and pro law and order groups(like prosecutors) were trying to get him to veto the bill.
