And where was Kerry yesterday, talkin' bout crooks and liars? Illinois. Home to Millenium Information Services. Of course, that is coinkydental, but . . . they're all RATS.

Brinkley then wrote an article, published on the website of Time magazine Tuesday night, in which he said Gardner's criticism was politically motivated. "After interviewing Gardner for over an hour, it essentially boils down to one word: politics," Brinkley wrote. "Gardner is sickened by the idea of Kerry as president."

...but Kerry's Band of Bozos is motivated by.....?

" Crewmate Stephen Hatch said Kerry turned back with the injured Gardner because "we didn't know how hurt he was.""

That's looking out for your men. Didn't check to see if he was slightly wounded or bleeding to death.

You're sure right about the quality of the Herald article. If it weren't for the picture, I'd say that no one from the Herald had actually gone to Clover. The script reporter seems to have only rewritten already published material. I was hoping for some kind of local color.

The woman I spoke w/yesterday emailed me back about an hour later, saying that a reporter had been assigned to the story. IMO anyone at FR could have done a better job.

Thanks for the ping and for the link, Kay.

From the Time article:

"So what brought Gardner out in the open? The answer turns out to be Rush Limbaugh’s talk show.......
If I’d had Rush’s 800 number, or known how to reach him, I would have called in.”

Rush should have a chat with Mr.Gardner on his show today, I'm sure they could find a way to hook up. Sure would like to hear the obvious questions answered.

Someone needs to offer this good man a job now. Seems as if they had to take it out on a man who doesn't think favorably of John F'in Kerry.

"Why did 58,000 people have to lose their lives?" Hatch said

The answer to that question is because of sobs like jane fonda, tom hayden, john kerry, lyndon johnson, robert mc macmera [sp?], the main stream media and other communist and communist organizations operating in the United States.

Gardner's former boss, Randy Girton, of Millennium Information Services of Illinois, said Gardner's view about Kerry had nothing to do with it, adding that it was a "weird coincidence" that Gardner and some others were let go yesterday. "He was a great employee, but just in this economic situation we didn't have the volume in that territory to warrant a manager in that territory," Girton said. He said Gardner did not accept an offer to work as an independent contractor.

A really "weird coincidence", isn't it? Sure it is.

Ping, in case you haven't seen this.

I too, would like to see the records of kerry's

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR.

Hmmm... my first fear was that we might have the wrong company. But now that it's fairly certain, would there be any damage in we freeper's doing a little investigation of our own? Here's the deal... It shouldn't be that difficult to learn the more significant customers of this vengeful company. That kind of thing is commonly available on the internet.

I wonder what might happen if Millenium's customers were well informed about what this employer alledgely has done to a moral and responsible former asset of their company. If it were my company who were a customer, I certainly would cease doing business with such an immoral supplier. Any thoughts about how this might happen - legally and openly, of course. What I'm suggesting here is nothing more than organizing a boycott of a company with a very limited set of customers.

I mean, why should Mr. Gardner be the one out of money here. I'd be happy to do whatever I could to move that financial carnage to his former employer.
