    Re the CJR review - who is telling journalists that it's appropriate to start sentences with "But ...". It's the sleaziest construction out there. ---- "We don't support a journalist bailout. But, in some scenarios, like the one today, journalists need government support."

    So now you've got plausible deniability - "we stated VERY CLEARLY that we don't support government bailouts for journalists" - and, an argument for that very thing.

    The NYT uses this little trick all the time, in what are meant to be straight news articles. "Statistics do show that welfare reform was effective in some ways. But, says Green, it is really a failed program." So annoying...

    So, using the tortured logic that the right is using to say Obama knew Hasan, therefore the NRA is a terrorist organization! #nidalmalikhasan

    @BlinkyMcChuck: I agree. If he is so innocent why wouldn't he just come out and say so?

    His unwillingness to state his innocent, loudly and often, is a red flag that Glenn Beck may have, in fact, raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. #glennbeck

    Um... I am pretty sure at accusing some asshole with a radio show of being a rapist should have MANY MANY facts to back up the accusation. #glennbeck

    @PandoraSpocks: That's the point, Glenn never indicates that he needs any proof as long as he just "ask the question" and now its up to the other person(s) to defend themselves because all he did was ask.

    It's pretty difficult to prove you didn't do something, and thats where the humor should come in. #glennbeck

    @PandoraSpocks: I, personally, would like to see the evidence Glenn did not rape and murder a young girl in 1990. Why doesn't Glenn Beck present that evidence? Is he hiding evidence that he did not rape and murder a young girl in 1990?

    All very interesting questions to ask, in my opinion. #glennbeck

    @valet_of_the_dolls: Well, if a former Reagan staffer has her doubts then we must, in all good conscience, ask Glenn Beck to prove he did not rape and murder a young girl in 1990. n'est-ce pas? #glennbeck
