"Mainstream" Media Searches Karl Rove's Garage:

In a desperate attempt to find something, ANYTHING with which to undo President Bush, the mainstream media forced Mrs. Rove to reveal the contents of their garage, pictured above. Among the items found were a large crate labeled "fragile" which is thought to be the crate used to pack up the Holy Grail, as depicted in the film "Raiders of the Lost Ark." It's been suspected that Bush has used supernatural Christian relics to reign over the Democrats. Now, there is proof.

For more shocking details found in Karl Rove's garage see this dynamite report at: Ex-Donkey Blog. You won't believe what he has uncovered.

On a serious note, I'm struck by the fact that a million dollar house has only a one car garage, and apparently no other storage.

Tom Delay Prosecutor Lost List?

From the Houston Chronicle: Indictments against DeLay, Jim Ellis and John Colyandro state that Ellis gave "a document that contained the names of several candidates for the Texas House" to a Republican National Committee official in 2002 in a scheme to swap $190,000 in restricted corporate money for the same amount of money from individuals that could be legally used by Texas candidates.

But prosecutors said Friday in court that they only had a "similar" list and not the one allegedly received by then-RNC Deputy Director Terry Nelson. Late in the day, they released a list of 17 Republican candidates, but only seven are alleged to have received money in the scheme.

Is this another example of the famous Texas Democrat tactic of "fake but accurate?" They couldn't find the original list, so they just took a list of Republican candidates in Texas, SOME of whom MIGHT have received donations?

The "mainstream" media would be laughing it's collective donkey's butt off if a Republican prosecutor tried to pull such a fast one.

Speaking of Laughing Our Collective A*# Off:

In another clear example of the "fake but accurate" school of journalism, NBC reporter Michelle Kosinski was doing pretty well projecting the usual sky is falling routine regarding the tragedy du jour, the floods in New Jersey, until a couple of men waded by in the ankle deep water.

I avoided mentioning this story, which has been widely covered elsewhere, until I saw the following comment at A Tangled Web, A British blog:

OK, I see why you were confused, David. The "Today" show doesn't do news, just "personal interest" stuff and promos for shows that are going to be on NBC later that night. All of the morning shows in the US are like that.

True, but apparently the author of that remark isn't aware that the desire to fake it up or make it up is endemic in nearly ALL of the "mainstream" media, not just fluffy morning shows. Look no further than the 48 hour hysteria-fest broadcast live from New Orleans in September for more examples.
