Vitter (none / 0)

Why does Cenk keep saying Vitter admitted to seeing prostitutes. He did no such thing.

 He surely was, but he continues to deny so.

Good one (none / 0)

Spoken like a true Republican. 

What difference does it make if he did or didn't!  At least he still denies it!

Thanks for the chuckle.

a possible contradiction from NOLA (none / 0)
Times-Picayune:

"Vitter has acknowledged being a customer of Pamela Martin [now deceased] & Associates, a Washington, D.C., escort service the U.S. Justice Department says was a prostitution ring. After his cell phone number was found in the service's records, Vitter confessed to committing a "very serious sin" and said he had sought forgiveness from God and his family."

Obama's pastor (none / 0)
I heard Jayar's comment, "just because you go to a church doesn't mean that you have to live and believe exactly what you pastor says"... and then I thought of the earlier terview about liberals vs. conservatives, and I have this idea... I'm not a regular church-going person, but the liberal churches I have been to (usually Unitarian) espose that you should question things, whereas a conservative church (I've been to a couple) says you must believe this or you're going to HELL!  Thus, I don't see that conservative church-goers would easily buy Obama disavowing what his pastor says... their mind would tell them that if they believe everything _their_ pastor says, then Obama must, too, and he's lying!

R.J. Eskow Was Great As Co-Host Again (none / 0)
As far as I'm concerned, R.J. hit it out of the park again when he was talking about Hillary's behavior now compared to how she seemed on the Bosnia tape as well as the Clinton camp's behavior in general and the possible reasons for it.  It was informed and insightful.  Also, he's really funny.  I love him as a co-host and hope he comes back often.

MILF Island (none / 0)
I find it hilarious that you guys mixed up reality with the fictitious world of 30 Rock.  Though since Cenk asked about the rules and point of MILF Island – 20 MILFS, 50 eighth grade boys, no rules!  The episode was hilarious like always and if you didn’t catch it, you can watch it online for free on NBC’s website.  On a side note, it was good to see that Tina Fey has come out and expressed her frustrations that people think she’s supporting Hillary after her SNL skit.  I guess they changed the skit at the last minute and Tina just went with it… Obama/Fey 08!

Laura Bush (none / 0)
Did she say that no one has suffered from the cyclone as much as her husband?

Or how she was speaking with her mother in law who said that the cyclone was to ugly a thing for her beautiful mind?

Just wanted to be the first to start the "Blame Bush for everything" process we liberals are so fond of.  Am I too late?

New York Times Bestseller (none / 0)

I keep hearing about how low the sales are for "bestsellers", and that is true, but there's more.  If you look at the actual list, next to the listing is a small dagger symbol (which occurs with all these right winger "bestseller" books).  Looking up what the symbol stands for, it means that the book is being bought in bulk, usually by the right wing thinktanks and organizations who either give them  out, or sell them at heavily discounted prices to their braindead followers who can't afford a full priced book.

But whenever you hear any of these crazy right winger books being on the NYT Bestseller list, the first thing to check is for the little symbols next to the listing, and then you know these don't reflect the true sales of these books at all.

Come on Cenk, you've got to be kidding. Why the hell do you think Salmon Suit Guy was at the DNC?  He was scouting for young talent like (well, Ana is a little young for that kool kat), so to him Stephanie Miller would have been perfect.

The Bootstrap Solution (none / 0)
These guys who caused the problem are the same ones who want everyone else to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, so why not expect the same of them? Impose a 0.25% transaction fee like every other country has, and let ones who caused the problem bail themselves out. Come on, grab them bootstraps!

Childish behavior (none / 0)
Hey, I love you, but you turn some of us off with your childish, play-soldier terms of Captain, General and whatever that means regarding your paid subscribers.

Please stick to the political commentary and keep the trivia , the Entertainment Tonight aspects out of your show.  I just turn it off when that happens, for the same reason I rarely watch the networks anymore.  But thanks for you commentary on Katie Couric's interview.  Paulin made Katie look like Einstein!!!
Enough with the silliness though.

Deny it if you're even caught in the act (none / 0)
This is advice from an ex-husband.  You never admit you're screwing around, even when caught in the act.
The republicans take that one further, and just ignore or get their allies the MSM, to bury the stories.  So Vitter and others can keep on screwing around while they impeach Clinton, and throw Spitzer under the bus.
God, if I believed in one, would bury us for our lies if the Bible is any predictor of the future.

How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis (none / 0)
How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis-The loans to Mortgage for everyone policy got us here in the first place.
Are Americans, who are footing perhaps a trillion dollar bill, even remotely interested in how it really happened? I ask you. When we may very well be working 40-45% of the time for the government, will they inquire - how did I get here or will they listen to the complete line of bullshit the Obama, a chief moocher and looter, is inventing? I have to know.  The mainstream media is depraved. It does not do investigative journalism save to smear folks on the right.And even then it is invented. They should aspire to the journailstic standards of the Enquirer. Instead,  they have 14,000 trolls in Alaska tracking what feminine protection Sarah Palin uses so that they might tie her to global warming.

In his incredibly short stint in politics, Obama was the second highest recipient of  Fannie Mae/ Freddie Mac lobby dollars. Why isn't the media ripping him a new %$#hole? Why is a first term Senator pulling down almost $300,000 a year from Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, Countrywide Financial, and Washington Mutual? He has not even completed his fourth year in the Senate and received a total of $1,093,329.00 from these eight companies and their employees. (all data from OpenSecrets.org). John McCain’s numbers, according to OpenSecrets.org for the period 1990-2008 (i.e., 18 years worth of data) only collected $549,584.00. In other words, Barack is receiving $273,582.25 (and 2008 is not over) per year while McCain raised a paltry $30,532.44. Want another shocker? Barack Obama has received more from one source–Goldman Sachs $542,252.00–than McCain has from all of the companies combined. Who the hell is more beholden to lobbyists? And why does a junior Senator from Illinois rate this kind of dough? 
     Back in 2005, Fannie and Freddie were, after years of dominating, on the ropes. They were enmeshed in accounting scandals that led to turnover at the top. At one telling moment in late 2004, captured in an article by my American Enterprise Institute colleague Peter Wallison, the Securities and Exchange Comiission's chief accountant told disgraced Fannie Mae chief Franklin Raines that Fannie's position on the relevant accounting issue was not even ``on the page'' of allowable interpretations.


Then legislative momentum emerged for an attempt to create a ``world-class regulator'' that would oversee the pair more like banks, imposing strict requirements on their ability to take excessive risks. Politicians who previously had associated themselves proudly with the two accounting miscreants were less eager to be associated with them. The time was ripe.

The clear gravity of the situation pushed the legislation forward. Some might say the current mess couldn't be foreseen, yet in 2005 Alan Greenspan told Congress how urgent it was for it to act in the clearest possible terms: If Fannie and Freddie ``continue to grow, continue to have the low capital that they have, continue to engage in the dynamic hedging of their portfolios, which they need to do for interest rate risk aversion, they potentially create ever-growing potential systemic risk down the road,'' he said. ``We are placing the total financial system of the future at a substantial risk.''
What happened next was extraordinary. For the first time in history, a serious Fannie and Freddie reform bill was passed by the Senate Banking Committee. The bill gave a regulator power to crack down, and would have required the companies to eliminate their investments in risky assets.

If that bill had become law, then the world today would be different. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, a blizzard of terrible mortgage paper fluttered out of the Fannie and Freddie clouds, burying many of our oldest and most venerable institutions. Without their checkbooks keeping the market liquid and buying up excess supply, the market would likely have not existed.
But the bill didn't become law, for a simple reason: Democrats opposed it on a party-line vote in the committee, signaling that this would be a partisan issue. Republicans, tied in knots by the tight Democratic opposition, couldn't even get the Senate to vote on the matter.

Now that the collapse has occurred, the roadblock built by Senate Democrats in 2005 is unforgivable. Many who opposed the bill doubtlessly did so for honorable reasons. Fannie and Freddie provided mounds of materials defending their practices. Perhaps some found their propaganda convincing.
But we now know that many of the senators who protected Fannie and Freddie, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Christopher Dodd, have received mind-boggling levels of financial support from them over the years.
 Oh, and there is one little footnote to the story that's worth keeping in mind while Democrats point fingers between now and Nov. 4: Senator John McCain was one of the three cosponsors of S.190, the bill that would have averted this mess.
Oh, then there was the famous quote of Barney.
    Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee blocked efforts at fixing Fannie and Freddie. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) said, "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... are not facing any kind of financial crisis,"
And Democrats like Chris Dodd also got favorable loans under a "VIP program." Dodd alone saved over $75,000 on his mortgage payments on his payoff.
   So where are former Fannie Mae CEOs like Franklin Raines ($90 million in salary) and Jim Johnson ($21 million in salary in one year)? As you might expect, they're serving as Barack Obama's key economic advisers.
