You still are one, yer just on a long-deserved hiatus. In a way, I see all FReepers as documenters of history in real time. Those who are proficient enuff to get their stuff published in the the larger media outlets need to be congratulated...and replicated!!
"I missed Rush today - I'm sure that Michele gave matthews whatfor!!!!"
Actually, it wasn't like that...Ms. Malkin was scheduled to be on Hardball for two segments, the first to discuss "Unfit to Serve" and the second to discuss a new book she's recently completed. Well, ChrissieBoy's trying to discuss this book that he's never read and is highly agitated. Michelle apparently brings up the issue that at least one of Kerry's Purple Heart injuries was "self-inflicted", and Chrissie starts hollerin' "Are you saying John Kerry shot himself to get outta service?!" He kept barking out the question and interrupting Michelle so she couldn't explain, and then finally says to Michelle, "Yer GONE!!" and kicks her off the set. Then, Matthews' staff went and appropriated Ms. Malkin's copy of "Unfit to Serve" (as they didn't have a copy anywhere), and started to leaf thru and find out if Chrissie's hysterical rantings were justified. Of course, they weren't, as it's been documented that one of Hanoi John's injuries resulted from his firing a rocket-grenade into a rockbed when schrapnel ricocheted back and hit Hanoi John (aka "a self-inflicted wound").
I'll go back and see if Rush's gotta transcript available fer copy/pasting here.
FReegards...MUD
Thanks!
I did read the rush trasncript last night.
When I said about Michele giving Chrissy whatfor - I was referring to Rush's show - I had already read what Chrissy had done to her on Hardball (my cable doesn't carry pMSNBC so I've never seen the show)
