This reflects what was on Brian and the Judge's website and appears to be out of date -- ed.note Nifong Gone? Nifong defeated his two opponents.
The lead prosecutor in the Duke lacrosse scandal, Mike Nifong, goes before the voters in Raleigh-Durham tonight. Will he be out of a job tomorrow morning? FOX's Marianne Silber reports live.
Troops in Iran
Famed liberal journalist Seymour Hersh says the U.S. has troops in Iran. Dennis Kucinich thinks so, too. Rather than take their word for it, Brian and the Judge will talk to an expert, General Bob Scales.
Another Bush Scandal
No, not the President. This time it's former USC star and newly-minted New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush. Did his parents get rent money from a San Diego businessman? And if they did, does it matter? Brian and The Judge have more.
Welcome to another edition of Brian and The Judge. Who knows what topics will grace us today. Tony's First Briefing is still expected for the noon hour, Monday, May 8, 2006. Updates as they come.
My husband said he heard on the radio the first of this week that Brian and the Judge would be replaced soon. Are they just filling in until a permanent host if found?
Present, coffee in hand, animals fed and ready for another good day.
Got one possible addition to the topics: Are there any past supporters of the illegal aliens who haven't been turned off by now? (I'm not bothering to ask about the MSM in that....)
......hate to break the thread, but WHAT WAS THAT NOISE ON THE FOX STREAM? I've heard better sounding cat fights.
Good morning, LL. It appears that Mr. Nifong will still be with us. Unfortunate.
From last night: No Snow job
US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton testified before the House subcommittee on international relations today and got in a little argument with Rep. Dennis Kucinich. Rep. Kucinich asked John Bolton about Sy Hersh’s “New Yorker” article on Iran, to which Bolton said he didn’t see it because he doesn’t have time to read “fiction”:
KUCINICH: Have you ever heard of that report?
BOLTON: I’d never heard of the report, I never read the article, nor do I intend to.
KUCINICH: Do you have any interest as to whether or not—as the U.S. Ambassador, you don’t have any interest as to whether or not U.S. Marines are actually operating in Iran right now?
BOLTON: I said I had not heard of the report and I didn’t intend to read the article in “The New Yorker.”
KUCINICH: If I gave you this article right now, walked it over, would you look at it?
BOLTON: I don’t think so, honestly, Congressman, because I don’t have time to read much fiction.
KUCINICH: We know that U.S. Troops are in Iran. How does this affect U.N. Negotiations?
BOLTON: Congressman, you know more than I do, that’s all I can say.
What a Bunch of Winners Kofi Annan's $500,000 conflict of interest.

From Ace of Spades
And Again: Noted Scholar Tim Robbins Complains Media Isn't Calling For Bush Impeachment
You think this is all just silly. Well, of course it's silly. But the media actually give a shit about what Tim Robbins thinks. (And no, they don't care what YOU think.)
So this nonsense has had, is having, and will continue to have an effect on media behavior, pushing it even further to the left.
The left saw the media slipping from its control, and so they snapped back on its leash. And the media dutifully heeled.
Acclaimed American actor/director Tim Robbins blasted the US government's policy on terrorism -- and the US media's failure to examine it critically -- at a news conference in Athens promoting his stage version of George Orwell's "1984".
"We have right now a media that is willfully ignoring the high crimes and misdemeanours of the president of the United States," the star of Hollywood hits including "Mystic River" and "The Player" told reporters.
"Clinton lied about a blowjob, and got impeached by the media and Congress," Robbins said.
"(Bush) got us into (the Iraq) war based on lies that he knew were lies. ... His war has recruited more Al-Qaeda members than Osama bin Laden could ever have dreamed for ... yet no one in the media is calling for impeachment," he said.
That's Tim Robbins' notion of a truly fair-and-balanced media, one dedicated to the truth and facts only-- a media calling for the impeachment of a President. Not merely reporting on others' call for an impeachment; nor favorably treating those who are calling for such.
But openly agitating for it themselves.
So, when the hard left -- Morons Boehlert, Woolsey, Colbert, Maher, etc. -- claims the media is too "right wing," that's what they mean. "Too right wing" means "not actively lobbying for Bush's impeachment like the hardest-core of liberal poltical activists."
That's their idea of what an ideal media really should be, if it were brave and truthful enough.
Come to think of it, that's the media's idea of an ideal media, too. They just wish they could get away with that level of "truthiness" without being called nasty names by mean Republicans.
Thanks to Riehl World View, whose blog is, alas, down, or he'd have posted this himself.
