Dear Press the Meat:
Why are you spending time trying to fry the president of the LA parrish once again for his heart wrenching story about the woman who died in the nursing home after Hurricane Katrina? I am outraged. He never accused anyone particular level of government of murder. He simply wanted someone to stop wasting time with news conferences and get busy. The bottom line is that the woman died because she was caught in the flood water and no one got to her or her fellow residents. The blame issues were not what he was talking about. The American public get it, Timmy. It is only the media who don't get it.

Your attack on this man today is an abomination. It is so clear that you were told to take the heat off of your benefactors from this man's story.

What I am pleased about is that this man handed you your ass, Timmy. Yeah, maybe he has some issues in his past. Who of us doesn't, Timmy? His basic story is real. Stop trying to attack the locals. They are going through hell. Start asking some real questions about real issues, Timmy. This was never a real issue, was it?

You are a propaganda tool, Timmy. The only reason I watch your show is to find out the White House spin of the week. It is hard work, isn't it Timmy? What are you going to do about access to the White House when Rove is gone, Timmy? Are you going to rely on your laurels? If so, I would give up your day job if I were you.

7. I like it
I think Timmy should be further asked when will he have Mrs. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld and Ms. Rice on his show to ask them about the lies they told about Iraq and 9/11 and the non-existent WMD's?

As long as he is so worried about finding the truth and correcting the record, that may be a good place to start, on something that matters to all Americans as we are paying the price both financially and in human lives.

8. I worked all night and only caught the last twenty or twenty five
minutes of the show. I was quite encouraged by the humongous shift in the attitudes toward bush-worship and openness to some sort of redirection of the public policy. I promised myself to watch the rerun: what a shock!
Such vitriol spewing from this mouse brained man! That horrid attempt to destroy a man who was strained almost beyond endurance. I know what it's like to work forty or fifty hours straight and sometimes go for weeks on two hours or less sleep per day. In this era of sobbing politicians, witness the wiley representative who spoke at the counter-revolutionary rally, yesterday, one can predict well ahead - within a sentence or two - just when he is going to break into the lachrymal song. It makes me wish to turn away in embarrassment and shame.

This man evoked, through his honesty, a much stronger reaction of sympathy, pride in his contribution, and a clear picture of the horror involved in the victims' sure knowledge that they have abandoned - to die.

I had never seen Tim so openly reveal the sordid cesspool of his own soul and I have no wish to have to witness such depravity again. How the hell do such people get selected to their positions of visibility?
