Either stupid or a complete liar.

Rachel Maddow is beyond wrong (you can find a much more sanity-base take, here). She is either insane, stupid or an inveterate, fear-mongering liar. You decide:

Gay Anderson Cooper probably voting for Obama

In case you haven't heard, news personality Anderson Cooper (CNN) is gay.  He came out of the closet today. Does it matter?  A little bit, yes.

Rachel Maddow, Just Wrong or a Liar?

From Newsbusters, Rachel Maddow Exposed for Lying About Wisconsin Having Budget Surplus.

To sum up, from Rachel;

I’m here to report that there is nothing wrong in the state of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is fine. Wisconsin is great, actually. Despite what you may have heard about Wisconsin’s finances, Wisconsin is on track to have a budget surplus this year.

And from the left-leaning Politifact;

Our conclusion: Maddow and the others are wrong.

There is, indeed, a projected deficit that required attention, and Walker and GOP lawmakers did not create it. [...]

The confusion, it appears, stems from a section in [Director of the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau Robert] Lang’s memo that -- read on its own -- does project a $121 million surplus in the state’s general fund as of June 30, 2011.

But the remainder of the routine memo -- consider it the fine print -- outlines $258 million in unpaid bills or expected shortfalls in programs such as Medicaid services for the needy ($174 million alone), the public defender’s office and corrections. Additionally, the state owes Minnesota $58.7 million under a discontinued tax reciprocity deal.

The result, by our math and Lang’s, is the $137 million shortfall.

So is she lying or just wrong? I'm sure she'll be clarifying any moment now. Not reading the fine print is an honest mistake (albeit shoddy journalism) that can be corrected easily by issuing an apology and/or correction. Lying in journalism, would be bad....Clarifying any moment now.

NOTE: I did not get to this story early, I'm just piling on.

Rachel Maddow might be a useful idiot for the right

This from an unexpected source: Rachel Maddow talks about how the Obama administration has dumped news deliberately on Friday's to avoid the news cycle. It's quite a list. There's some left nut job stuff in her assessment, but she hits on some legitimate points in terms of what President Obama is attempting to keep kept quiet. And it conveniently shows the duplicity and hypocrisy of the Obama administration.



Don't ignore the meaning just because of the source. Maddow is giving us fodder for 2010. If it was wrong for Bush and now it's not, then Bush was right. It needs to be pointed out.

Fire Louis Caldera

Why fire Louis Caldera? Here's why. The Director of the White House Military Office apologized for this, but it should never have happened the way it did. He's culpable and yet again, it shows lack of foresight on the part of the Obama administration.



Even the lib left seems to have a problem with this ill-conceived plan. If Olbermann puts him ahead of Limbaugh then it has to be bad.



And mis-information herself, Rachel Maddow gave it an F;
