Update:
Special Olympics does not accept Rahm Emmanuel’s apology for calling someone else effin’ ‘tards. In response Special Olympics spokesman little Eric Cartman from South Park, Colorado, has a message for Rahm.
Spokesperson Eric Cartman sez "We don't f-ing accept your apology, Rahm."
Yes, I know some of you have retarded friends or family. So do I. Retarded folks aren’t the target here – Rahm is. The episode in question is found here.
Even while they can’t control their own mouths they want to control everyone else’s…
The president’s advice came in answer to a question from Sen. Mike Bennet, D-CO, who is facing a difficult re-election fight back home and wanted to know what Democrats and Republicans can do “to fix this institution so that our democracy can actually withstand the test that we’re facing right now.”
“You know what I think would actually make a difference, Michael? I think if everybody here — excuse all the members of the press who are here — if everybody here turned off your CNN, your Fox, your blogs,” Obama said, before being interrupted by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA, who piped up, “And MSNBC!”

A quick update/detour…
This isn’t news. Obama advisor Eliseo Medina:
Granting citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants would expand the “progressive” electorate and help ensure a “progressive” governing coalition for the long term, declared a recent adviser to President Obama whose union group is among the most frequent visitors to the White House.
Come on, WND – seems to me that this is pretty obvious stuff.
Let’s take a poll.
Note: Aggie Sith is right… this is a conflicted poll. I’m not experienced at it yet. Answer whichever one most feels like “you”. If you answer “dead patriotic” it means that yes you saw it coming and you aren’t happy – not happy at all.
****NOW ON TO THE ORIGINAL POST FOR TODAY****
On Drudge…
CBSNEWS anchorwoman and 60 MINUTES contributor Katie Couric faces a dramatic pay cut at the network...[snip]
Couric, the highest paid TV news personality in history, commands over $14 million a year...[snip]...a populist backlash against Couric's cash is said to be forming inside the newsroom.
"She makes enough to pay 200 news reporters $75,000 a year!" demands a veteran producer. [snip] The angry source continues: "We report with great enthusiasm how much bankers are making, how it is out of step with reality during a recession. Well, look at Katie!"
Just last night I was watching South Park’s More Crap episode. Every 2-1/2 of crap in one “load” is one unit in the measurement scale for such things. Guess what the measurement unit is? Not pounds, kilos, or anything like that.
1 Katie Couric = 2.5 lbs of crap
Yes, a 10lb pile of crap is 4 Katie Courics.
Later in that piece… Surely Godfather, you will help us in our time of need after all these years we have been loyal to you…
EDITOR'S NOTE: Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather called on President Barack Obama to form a White House commission to help save the press. Tears welled in the lifelong reporter’s eyes as he discussed the dwindling number of war correspondents.
Lemur King's Folly 
That pathway to citizenship crap is just NOW being covered?? Wow…
Let me get this straight…. she gets $14 million to spew what’s on the teleprompter for 25 minutes each evening? I wish I had that gig for a week. My kids’ college tuitions would be DONE.
And Dan….crying…. that’s just pityful in a train wreck kind of way 😉
I finally got that damn poll thing working right. Again a problem with my browser cache loading the old wrong version so my updates weren’t updating on my screen.
If you would, go back up and run through that poll. Prime the pump.
Why couldn’t you just knock Couric out of her spot? Walk up and say “Hey, I’m a chick, I can speak multiple languages, and I’ve got a husband with a D&D and BBQ habit to support – and kids.” I don’t know… maybe you wouldn’t want to push the multi-cultural angle… would it serve the needs of the many (ultimately) by getting bad talent out of there? Decisions like this could keep you up at night. For about 5 minutes.
Dan Rather crying is a lot like watching a Hell’s Angel biker sob after curbing some poor schmuck. Disturbing.
I would much rather knock her on her ass. Perky drives me insane. Mix it with leftist mantras and I want to make pain happen.
Ok, so if I understand the poll correctly, are you asking if we proles saw the push, or if we will die before it happens? Because sure, I saw it (vote YES), but over my dead patriotic body will it happen. So conflicted….
I see what you mean. It should be multiple-choice.
So you’re not a big fan of Rachel Ray, either?
Rachel Ray?? The pseudo-cook with the pseudo-talkshow??
I would rather hubby bring a hooker home and have her on MY bed, than listen/ watch that fake tee-hee’ing, bubbly ooooooh’ing and awwwww’ing shit spewed by her overly wide maw.
Don’t sugar-coat it, darlin’… just spit it right out…
Can’t…. family friendly site 😉
Ok, so the Prez wants the democratic senators to turn off CNN, Fox, PMSNBC…. I think it’s a good idea. They really will be out of touch come November. It’s a win-win 😉
Can they get any more out of touch than they already are?
I don’t know, but I hope they do try 😉
As to the Special Olympics thing…. kinda fun to watch Rahm squirm, isn’t it?
Gosh it is indeed fun.
Seriously, normally I’d smack someone if I knew they were intentionally being mean to someone retarded. In school, I was *always* the guy that would go off on the bully – I’m not fond of people that hurt others to satisfy their sick needs.
There’s meanness but there is also joking. Cruel Wife understands that mostly when I say something sexist that I am being theatrical.
In this case, Rahm is a prick and I think the SO folks are being a bit ridiculous. There’s a diff between (a) actually being a true victim and (b) not just not shrugging the world off.
“Courage” you cocksucker!
Did I miss something?
I assume you’re referring to Rather and not implying that I personally perform fellatio?
Yes, of course it was aimed at that asshole who prefers news that is “fake, but accurate.”
Well that’s good cb. My first thought was “what the hell did I say to get his panties in a wad, and why would he insult me in a strange way by saying ‘courage’?”
It was my second and third thoughts too.
Seemed out of character for you.
