Comcast Close To Buying NBC
You could dedicate almost an entire blog just ripping to shreds the kids at Newsbusters. Check this out. According to the dull knives at Newsbusters, a car that carried Hillary Clinton somewhere and was involved in an accident is exactly the same as the vice president, with his own hands, shooting a man in the face with a shotgun.
Jiminy Christmas.

I am familiar with what “Godwin’s Law” is, but there must be a name for the syndrome in which a person of one political persuasion attempts to justify one of his fellow party member’s bad behavior with a quasi-related indiscretion by someone of another (rival) party. My party has been guilty of this as well, at times as well.
1. Was Hillary driving?
2. Did she leak the story to a friend at a local paper to deliberately curtail the exposure?
3. Were there any lingering side effects besides a bruised shoulder?
If you have to concede two or more “NO” votes out of three questions, your argument may be fundamentally flawed.
Thanks OW. Good catch by those guys. Ms Clinton was in charge of that car that injured a cop. I guess this ruins her chance to be president. Hope 60 Minutes does an interview with the cop’s family so we can see the weeping wife and his ruin of a life – thanks literally to the Democratic machine.
Dugger, Where have all the cop flowers gone?
I wouldn’t necessarily agree with that at all. I don’t think that Cheney is required to have a press conference about the incident he is involved in. He became beholden to answer questions after it was obvious that “somebody” delayed the release of information about this event to the press. Had Dick Cheney been Hector McFarmer, the news would not have been nationwide, but it would not have been “slowly leaked”.
Dkelsmith : I agree that each incident should stand on its own. If that were to be the case, then I would have expected that Senator Clinton should have immediately held a press conference, with several follow ups, to address why her Secret Service detail ran a checkpoint at an airport and struck a uniformed police officer.
The real question here is: Why did the officer assault the van?
“…but only after the police officer threw his shoulder into the van while banging on its side did the vehicle come to a halt…”
So, according the Washington Times, the van didnt hit the officer, the officer hit the van–hmmmm……wonder if he left scratches….
I don’t want to question the judgement of a law enforcement officer, but I am pretty sure that checking a van is not a good idea
Delayed the release of information? It was known about and reported on within 18 hours.
Not only would Hector McFarmer’s story not have been slowly leaked, it would have likely never been reported outside of his local community, given the fact that law enforcement considered it to be an accident.
I’m down with “Smith’s law”, Frank. Right on!
You do realize, though, that this will eliminate a good ninety percent of the right-wing posts on this site.
I don’t understand the connection to Hillary. She was a passenger, right? She wasn’t driving? If not, then who cares?
Why not “Smith’s Law”? The syndrome in which a person of one political persuasion attempts to justify one of his fellow party member s bad behavior with a quasi-related indiscretion by someone of another (rival) party.
One small problem: According to Godwin’s Law, the thread should end. What happens when when “Smith’s Law” is violated? That’s usually when the fun begins.
Anywhoo, I’m willing to spread it around.
What’s more, if old McFarmer had a little thing going with the hired help, that wouldn’t get much attention either. But then, McFarmer isn’t in the White House.
Is it at all possible that the officer shoulder-checked the van deliberately to create a story?
Perhaps he was not a fan of the Senator?
And 100% of the left – wing posts, Wilbur!
Oops! Did I just violate Smith’s Law? =:-}
Name one, Frank.
@ Frank_D
LOL! Pretty good, Frank…I have to admit.
In all honesty, I think that the Veep was worried about yet more bad press coverage and tried to do damage control. Unfortunately for him, it drew even more bad press. Had he come out the first day speaking about this, I don’t think that it would have been a big issue, mild heart attack notwithstanding.
I disagree… There would not have been any noticeable difference in the outcome, regardless of when the story came out. The almighty press wouldn’t have been so ticked off because they weren’t told sooner.This story will last until something else comes along.
Frank didn’t name one. Hah!
I don’t take orders from you, Wilbur… Hee!
The main reason the Cheney story hs lasted so long on this blog is because I think Oliver secretly likes coaxing the defenders of Bush into a food fight. Oh well when it gets too boring you can all go here:
