Trouble in Mayberry
March 15th, 2008
Karl Rove gave a $40,000 speech at the University of Iowa on Monday. Turns out he may have been underpaid, as CNN reports he was heckled throughout his talk, and at one point, two students had to be removed for attempting to perform a citizen’s arrest on Rove. At the end of his speech, one student asked if they could have their $40,000 back. Rove said no.
In other news, while George McGovern is offering his tepid endorsement for Hillary Clinton, his 3 daughters, 1 son and 10 grandchildren are all working for that Obama fella. McGovern revealed this on Democracy Now!, with Amy Goodman, in a discussion where he also compared Eliot Spitzer to King David. Good stuff. You can watch or listen to free Democracy Now! archives online, here. Check it out. It’s like an edgy Jim Lehrer News Hour.

Georgey should never have saddled us with super delegates. Better than it was I suppose, but…..

spot on: george mcgovern on amy goodman, what a great interview. he was right too: a lot of people active now in political life at many levels got called in by george. he organized. did some paving for obama — who woulda been entirely froze out by the old Democratic party, pre-mcgovern, et al.
george did not hold back from saying he likes obama! think how that piece sounded for hillarians. he gives her the loyalty that maybe she doesn’t . . ?

and on amy goodman, my brother alerted me to her coverage of eliot spitzer. i checked it out. it was th best stuff i got yet on the whole deal — and it was before he announced his resignation!
i don’t want to listen to that show ever day, but they do some damn journalism!
