[X918]

Coming this fall to Showtime ,the channel that also brings you gay real world dramas and various Pro-Clinton propoganda.
Me thinks the TV critic for the SoreSpot is haveing an orgasm and salivating at the mouth describing Lee's sitcom.

No thanks. Life's too short.

To all of Al Bore's supporters:

Get over it, Al "The Alpha Male" lost.

Spike Spike.

[jordan8]

Showtime and HBO: the two most destructive TV networks outside of MTV. Keep pouring your money into them, keep buying the rope.

>>>she believes African-Americans were systematically denied the right to have their votes counted<<<

What's this? ALL of those military votes were from people of colour??? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

[ClearCase_guy]

one of the most controversial election nights in the history of American presidential politics

I tired of letting this one pass by. It's NOT controversial! Every count says Bush won! The higher court ruled in his favor! There is NOTHING on the other side to balance Bush's win.

It's not "controversial"! It's "disappointing" to the Democrats.

We Wuz Robbed

I find the ebonics in the title of the movie ironic!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

We ain't wachin, Spike.

[subterfuge]

I say, spike Spike. And thats too many words to waste on this racist.

[Trueblackman]

YAWN!!!!!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

...ebonics in the title...

It's probably not ebonics. More than likely it's a reference to boxing manager Joe Jacobs' immortal phrase from 1932. Joe Jacobs was Max Schmeling's manager for all 14 of his fights in the United States. The most notable were his bouts with Joe Louis.

[PISANO]

I agree. I have both HBO and SHOWTIME for ONE reason and ONE reason only. FIGHTS.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

BTW, Joe Jacobs made the remark after Jack Sharkey beat Max Schmeling in the heavyweight title fight, 21 June 1932.

Here is Sandra Sobieraj's resume:

Sandra Sobieraj, White House reporter for The Associated Press, spent 17 months traveling with Vice President Al Gore. Prior to that 2000 campaign assignment, she covered President Clinton's second term and, as a member of the AP team that chronicled his impeachment, documented daily the surreal forward march of White House life throughout that scandal.

Ms. Sobieraj, 33, joined the AP in July 1994 when she was assigned to Washington metro crime and politics. Her background on Capitol Hill (she was a legislative aide and speechwriter to Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., from June 1989 until July 1993) won her a spot on the Washington AP's national team after Newt Gingrich's GOP revolution. She covered Congress for six months before being assigned to the 1996 presidential campaign. Bouncing from Phil Gramm to Steve Forbes and Pat Buchanan, Sobieraj finished out that year on Bob Dole's campaign plane.

Born in Washington, D.C., Ms. Sobieraj received a bachelor's degree in politics, with a certificate in Latin American studies, from Princeton University. Stanford University awarded her a Master's degree in journalism in June 1994.

She currently covers President Bush at the White House.

I guess Spike found a "useful idiot" for his one-man hate show.

Unfortunately, Spike also seems as competent with the English language as he is with a camera. Go back to Lil' Penny. You hit your stride there.

"Get over it, Al "The Alpha Male" lost."

Al Goron could never be an Alpha male. (even if Tipper let him!)

[Movemout]

I will comment, yet once again, that it is perfectly acceptable for Brasile to label her opponents as Jim Crow and as crackers with nary a word of criticism from the media. Woe betide those who attempt to reverse that strategy.

[Illbay]

As talented as Lee purportedly is, don't you think he could afford a word processor with a spell checker?

[G.Mason]

"The hot buttons are pushed in We Wuz Robbed by Donna Brazile, the African-American manager of the Gore campaign, when she characterized the way the voting was conducted in Florida by saying, "For the first time, Jim Crow came back on the scene."

Here's a "HOT" button you can push Donna "African-American" Brazile..........

"A hyphenated American is not an American at all.
This is just as true of the man who puts 'Native' before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or French before the hyphen.
Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.
Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.
We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance."

Theodore Roosevelt... 1915

>>>Woe betide those who attempt to reverse that strategy<<<

You got that right brother.
