    The guy from the Chamber really stepped in a bag of flaming dog shit on this one. It's too funny to stop spreading.

    The happy comedy accident of business cards as credibility is comical. So many funny moments-

    Can I see your business card? I have my business cards outside/this man I can assure you does not have any business cards, and is not legitimate.
    How embarrassing for you.
    Anyone else want my business card? #theyesmen

    They are exposing these fools for what they are--empty suits and straw men hiding behind the legitimacy of a government organization that no longer serves the people who pay for its existence. #theyesmen

    This is the next level. I wholeheartedly support more of this.
    They can do a Fox presser where they fire Beck and Rush for being crazy racists and turn over a new leaf as "truly fair and balanced" #theyesmen

    @Flippyjack: slight twist: have a presser where they come out as fox execs and ***praise*** beck and rush as unhinged luntic racist crazy people

    and make fox come out and defend againstthat #theyesmen

    @ande8502: I'm not a legal expert, though I imagine there is a case here. But it would be sort of ironic to sue for libel when it's the Chamber's embarrassing position that is pushing away their corporate members. Legal proceedings would only make it higher profile. The messier the situation for the chamber, the less inclined corporate boards will be to associate themselves with a group that is slowly being marginalized by the WH, anyhow. #theyesmen

    @ande8502: free speech includes the right to identify liars and thieves and knaves and fools as such

    it's only libel/slander if it isn't true, and not always then even #theyesmen

    That blond idiot on Fox & Friends praised Sanford for not making his wife be next to him during the presser.


    That blond idiot on Fox & Friends apparently thinks Sanford's wife is a piece of furniture.

    Did you see Fox a little later when Shep came on? They still didn't have audio of the press conference, so they showed the video footage while Shep was reading the prepared statement off his Blackberry!


    He gave it the kind of somber, poetic recitation that it deserved. I got chills.

    Given Kyra's recent divorce, I wonder what the bias actually refers to.

    I dunno, Kyra Phillips could be steeling herself against the known conservative, Candy Crowley and that's why she's basically like, "Yeah, I'm biased and I don't want to hear any of your anti-liberal spin on this story, Double C. Not this time. Just stand the fuck back."

    @Hockeymom: I just felt like taking a dig at Candy Crowley. I was hypothesizing that the people in the CNN news room know full well what she is all about and are just waiting for her to spin her conservative take on things, in general, on every story, etc.


    Yes, you're right, there's probably more to Kyra's bias.
