There you have it, the dems use the sniper capture for politics-just like the upcoming funeral of Welstone where the VP is not invited.

I've used the "reporter for FR" phrase before, as well. We simply MUST have the largest staff of reporters in the nation... and the best... and the most-critiqued (so we've got the most copy editors and fact-checkers, too!)

The Deathocrat Party...

"And poor Connie who represents the area didn't even get invited". What makes this so hilarious is that Connie Morrella is one of the most liberal Republicans in all of Congress. She has to be or she'd never get elected in that district. Even the Washington Post gives her its endorsement.
The hatred of Republicans by the Democratic party borders on the pathological.

Morella is one of the biggest gun grabbers in congress. GOOD. I wouldn't vote for her for dogcatcher, and I'm card carrying GOP.
To: jpl
right on. kinda hard to think of Morella as a Republican anyway. hard to know who to feel sorry for on this one

Even the Washington Post gives her its endorsement. And her challengers never attack her record in TV ads, its always just "She is a Republican, and Republicans are bad."

(and yes, I've stolen that unashamedly from Bernie Shaw, who used to describe CNN that way)
We chronicle the world from multiple viewpoints, and analyze with multiple pundits and experts from all fields of endeavor and all walks of life.
Now if we can only get James Earl Jones' voice, we'd be all set...[g]
"This...is Free Republic."

She's one vote for Tom DeLay for Majority Leader-- everything else is gravy.

Jones is a liberal. Maybe Heston?

Jones is a liberal. Maybe Heston?Moses over Darth Vader? Works for me...[g]
Although is there anyone with an even deeper voice?

"And poor Connie who represents the area didn't even get invited". But when it was impeachment time, Connie Morrella got every invitation to the White House, and every Black-Church Quasi-Political prayer service in the area... What were they really praying for at those prayer services, the ascension of Bill Clinton?

When I worked as a columnist for the Indiana-based Hiatt newspaper chain, I rarely had cause to identify myself as a newspaperman. In 1990 Desert Storm came along, and as the only military veteran on the flagship
Knox County Daily News [the first newspaper ever owned by later St Louis publisher Joseph Pulitzer] and that situation changed as I found myself stuck with the military affairs/war beat for the papers.
And my working outfit looked just like the GI chocolate-chip camoflage, except for being plain khaki. The nametapes were no problem, nor were some leftover WWII Correspondent's shoulder flashes; but *HIATT NEWSPAPERS* wouldn't quite fit on a single-line tag above a pocket. Even *KNOX CO DAILY NEWS* was a bit too long....
Happily, *KC DAILY NEWS* fit just fine. And if those being interviewed thought that I was from a Kansas City newsrag with a larger supporting population and circulation, that was their problem. But many of the best writeups I got were not of troops from Indiana or the Midwest in any event. They were all Americans, and a pretty swell bunch of kids- even the old ones. I think a lot of that would have been ground out of them in two months, or six, or eight of a war in the sandbox, but happily, it didn't come to that.
So if I get back to my Indiana haunts, I'd be glad to drag you to an Indiana press club dinner, if you'd like. You can be the FR reporter, if you want [trained as a news photog, I hate being thought of as *just* a reporter*] but you've got to TRY at least not to take yourself too seriously.
But some of the best I've known in the racket began as teachers....

Not
DEEPER necessarily...remember that we are no longer constrained to using the voices of the living, but that digital studio tricks and recordings can be combined to let any voice we'd like be so used.
Accordingly, there are two that get my vote, both of whom starred in Westerns, among other things:
THIS...is FREE REPUBLIC!

[I hate assignment editors, too.]

Not a surprise. Everyone in that group was Democrat. They used this tragedy for partisan political purposes.
To: archy
Are you sure you want me on the obits? I seem to have been banned from the Wellstone memorial/campaign event.

Jones is a liberal. As I remember he has trouble articulating anything more than what he has memorized like, "This is CNN"
Didn't CNN give him his own show for 2 or 3 episodes till they too realized, the guy was tongue tied unless he had memorized his lines? Wasn't that how Jesse Jackson got his show, as a replacement for Jones? Not that Jesse was any icon of articulation.
