And perfection must be a terrible burden on you as well.

To all:

To a certain extent, I would have to agree with some points stated above regarding whether or not individuals like Rush Limbaugh are truly journalists. I would have to lean towards the criticism I received on that point; in the truest sense, Limbaugh is not a journalist, but there are individuals I mentioned in my column who do blur the line. Overall, thoughtful comments.

Apparently, you didn’t read the whole article, so I won’t waste any more time on your comment.

He didn’t lie and there is something to be said for that.

Uhm, journalists tend to, ahem, write, while the big hair monkeys you gape at on your idiot box, tend to read (off a teleprompter.) Mark Twain,Tom Wolfe, Hunter Thomnpson, William F. Buckley, were journalists, the big hairs are celebrities, known for being known, whether or not they’d admit to that. Perky Katie a journalist? Then, so is Vanna White, and we all love Vanna!

Rush is very smart and quite the entertainer. He also lets us know which way the left tries to get more control of America at every turn. The left despises him for good reason.


The Harry Reid letter was a magnificent display of pure stupidity from the Communists. He is not one to play hard-ball with......

Russert also was one of the first to talk about Chinagate.

I am astounded that the (private) funeral will be televised. Then a memorial service at the Kennedy Center.

Just who was he? Can we expect the same when Brit Hume dies? What kind of circus will happen when Dan Rather or Walter Cronkite dies? Flags at the capitol at half staff with caskets lying in state in the rotunda?

Tim Russert was just a liberal reporter. I just don't get it. I don't really dislike the man or anything, but this is way, way over the top.

Perfection is one disease that does not run in my family. Thank the Lord.

Rock stars, athletes, actors, race car drivers and etc, are not heros either, more low lifes than not in those groups.
