"DAD IS A NICE GUY" MITT'S SON

Murrow. Old-time, true Journalist

Jim Gschwind, "The Despondent Correspondent" opines:

"Here is where I think they stray or where the watching or listening public doesn't appreciate them. We were taught as young journalists that real news only carried the four 'w's' and the one 'h' (who, what, when, where and how) and that should be in your first paragraph.   That has gone by the wayside....just as being paid by the 'column inch' to fill space, rather than by the word, disappeared."

DENNIS MULLIN (1948-2012)

 By Bill Rife

"The interviews with Saddam Hussein and the Shah of Iran were pure theater. In Bagdad, a smiling Saddam was perched on an elevated chair assuring that he was the tallest person at a table of notables. Dennis, the second American reporter to interview him, sat at his right hand and immediately afterwards felt the session had gone well, S.H. apparently disagreed. He had the interpreter shot the following day. In Tehran, Dennis was ushered into the royal palace on the obligatory red carpet and tea was served in gold cups. The brash young American asked if he could smoke. The Shah jerked his head back and made a smacking sound…. which Dennis took as a “yes” and lit up. All present diverted their eyes to their shoes. Amazingly, he not only survived but completed a successful interview. The Shah later repeatedly requested Dennis Mullin as his preferred question and answer guy."

DAN SAVAGE BULLIES CHRISTIAN STUDENTS

By Matt Barber

"Savage’s primary claim to fame is that he formed the website 'Santorum.com,' to create a 'Google bomb' that would smear the good name of former senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum. On the site he redefined the senator’s last name, Santorum, using language so vile and repulsive that I won’t repeat it. When Christian advocate and Americans for Truth founder Peter LaBarbera asked Savage to take down the website, Savage responded, 'I’m asking Peter LaBarbera to go f–k himself.'"

FEDS SEIZE VEHICLES OF HARRY THOMAS, JR

Candidate Timothy Day

By G.M. Corrigan

“'And I’m Tim Day,' he added, 'and I contribute more to the tax base than a lot of people that hate me for what I did. I would like to know that my money is going to good use.' ......The hate of which Day spoke includes home and car vandalisms and loud name-calling by unknown provocateurs in grocery stores—all of which, the longtime Ward 5 resident said, has occurred only since his whistleblowing in the Thomas affair."

FAILED K STREET KICKBACKS, Republicans Furious

By Jim Gschwind (The Despondent Correspondent)

"Stories abound during this administration, especially of the politicians and government agency “partnerships” which scratch each other’s backs. We don’t have to bring up the numerous Secretary Chu and Energy Department “investments” in failing companies that coincidentally were players in Obama’s campaign. Certainly during Republican administrations this happens all too often as well...no congressman nor senator is “immune” and maybe that’s why so many who leave their jobs become contractor representatives(i.e. 'Lobbyists')"...(Double left click on image for full story).
