Laura Ingraham.... What a nut job.

This clip is from The Daily Show from December 16th.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow took a prominent gay-to-straight therapist to the woodshed Tuesday night.

In an interview with Richard Cohen, whose claims that gay men can be trained to become heterosexuals have been used to support an effort to pass a law in Uganda that would imprison gays for life or execute them, Maddow blasted Cohen and said he had “blood” on his hands.

I would have to agree.

Aasif Mandvi, Jason Jones and Edward R. Brokaw-Amanpour weigh in on a couple that crashed a state dinner at the White House.

In a Special Comment, Countdown’s Keith Olbermann argues that in the face political and financial opportunism, not to mention outright lies about the war in Afghanistan, and the stark historical warning represented by Vietnam, President Obama should make the change he promised during his campaign and pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan.

I didn't realize this was still happening. Goodman was stopped by Canadian border guards as she tried to cross into Canada in order to speak at a couple of functions. She was held for over 90 minutes and was issued a "control" document, basically a temporary visa. She was told she had to show proof of leaving Canada by today.
She felt quite threatened. As they were held, the guards went through their car and actually went into their computers.
It is quite chilling listening to her description of what happened. It doesn't sound like an open society. Goodman also went into some detail about her arrest at the Republican convention in Minneapolis while there covering the protests.

While listening to her speak I couldn't help thinking they were sending her a strong message meant to intimidate her and warn her somehow to watch what she was going to speak about.

This is pretty cool! (Hint: let it load completely before watching it).

From Raw Story: Sarah Palin has accused the reporters fact checking her new book of doing opposition research. Stephen Colbert says she knows the facts aren’t on her side.

TDS: Larry Wilmore says if you wake up and your black face is smudged on your pillow, it's not OK.

Awkward...

Jon Stewart 'channels' Glenn Beck as he makes the case: "There’s a war going on in America and the stakes are nothing less the Glenn Beck’s internal organs."

Dick Cheney recognizes his handwritten notes on Joe Wilson's op-ed piece, but he can't recall why he wrote them...

Right..

Jon Stewart looks at how Fox opinion show influence Fox “news” reporting.

Last night, Rachel Maddowhad on Sen. Ron Wyden, D-OR, to talk about the public option that is likely to be included in the Senate health reform bill.
