Did EC leave us? Gotta admit this thread aint hoppin' like Mark's was.
Mr.FF's aversion to politics in general (even office politics, which he's real bad at) began during the Carter administration. He worked at the NYC PBS station at the time and went to Washington to cover the senate confirmation hearings for what was then the MacNeil/Leherer NewsHour. He was so turned off the political process during those hearings, I cannot TELL you. He will still spit-on-the-ground if he talks about it.
The reporters over there all go to the same hotel bar and once a day go to a balcony for 5 minutes to do a report and you see the same morning shitty-car explosion on all channels overlayed by less than 50 words.
They are not interested in getting out and about and away from their comfy surroundings and actually meeting a bunch of different people over there.
If Laura can do this in 8 days and ride herd all over that country, why can't the lazy, overpaid media people in those hotels do the same thing? Will they miss their next company-paid meal or the visiting hooker on the expense account?
I was in 9 countries and learned a few things about this crap when I was active duty.
YES SHE IS!
sorry- I got a call but I am baaaaaaaaaaack!
LOL!
You are so right. Laura did ride herd all over that country while recovering from chemotherapy to boot!
LOL! yes... she is a talk show host...talking is kinda the idea...
;-)
WOW!
GREAT RANT!
YOU ROCK!
I hope not. I told EC what I learned from my experience and what a guy that works for Agilent Corp. as Army Reserve told me and the observations are similar in my post #123.
You are so right. Laura is onto something, take some "reporters" off the Hollywierd beat. They are idiots.
LOL. I just had a visual of a hooker in a burka. "You want something special, big boy?" =)
I AM HERE!
I loved your post!
LOVED IT!
this Lionel Richie in the background is just hysterical!
LOL!
would you like to be added to the ping list?
I will be posting the thread in the AM and ping then...
plus ping again to the same thread for those that can't listen in the morning and want to tune in at 8 eastern time...
What you don't know is that I lived through the same crap in Europe when the Soviet Union collapsed in the late 80's. There were murderous bombings all over the place if you don't remember. It's the last gasp for life for an ideology- kill as many people as you can. The same pattern. ETA was in the mix and blew up my favorite Spanish restaurant in Alcala, killing 15 people including kids. I left 10 or so mins. before that. That place was built of solid stone and became rubble.
This is the same pattern as in Iraq. The terrorists already lost there. It's all noise for a certain period of time and the people are all pointing angry fingers at Iran and Syria.
Please add me to Queen Laura's ping list.
Hi. eeevil- I listened to most of the a.m. show -tonights show is new- yes?
WOW!
you are so right...
GREAT observations. I didn't know any of this, of course, "they" don't want me to....
You truly have a lot to share with us! THANKS FOR DOING SO!
LOL SURE!
just added ya!
I think this is a repeat (from the am)...
but I was so busy- I am glad to get to hear it when I can actually pay attention...
Great commentary.
