if you're listening to the rachel maddow show, you're hearing some strong radio. if you're not, and it's on very early, consider listening to it via air america place.
this morning, i got up and got online early. read the common ills which, to be honest, is my must read in the morning. the new york times just lays out on the porch in it's little baggie.
here's what i read this morning at the common ills:
And let's give credit where it's due, Rachel Maddow stressed this story this morning on The Rachel Maddow Show. Remember, if the show is on too early for you, you can listen to it online at Air America Place. Also on this morning's show, you'll hear clips of Henry Hyde admitting that the impeachment of Bill Clinton was probably motivated by a need for 'payback' for the attempted impeachment of Richard Nixon.
i read that and my mouth just dropped. it's so petty, and so true to the nature of people like henry hyde. richard nixon was run out of office and for good reason but there they were planning and plotting their revenge. so a consensual sex affair and trying to bring down a president over it becomes 'payback.'
isn't it just typical of their petty mind set?
i rushed over to air america place to listen to rachel maddow's reporting on it and was really glad i did. and of course, now it's the talk of the web. but i wonder how many others bothered to give rachel maddow credit? that's 1 of the many things i love about the common ills, c.i. is no glory hog and is more than happy to credit others. you'd be surprised how rare that is online.
if you want to read about it, via buzzflash, go to abc7chicago. have to keep it short tonight due to company.
