Stormy days ahead for The Weather Channel?

Weather Channel In Sex Storm

TWC Anchors Bob Stokes & Hillary Andrews

On block, cable network seeks cloak on anchor harassment details

MAY 6–As The Weather Channel’s owner negotiates a multibillion-dollar sale of the cable outlet, the network’s lawyers are angling to keep secret the details of a blistering arbitration ruling in favor of a former anchorwoman who charges that she was subjected to unrelenting sexual harassment by her male co-anchor, who was “romantically obsessed” with her and frequently made crude remarks like, “Will you lick my swizzle stick?” Hillary Andrews, 38, contends that the cable network’s brass turned a blind eye to the harassment because her co-anchor, Bob Stokes, was popular with viewers and scored high ratings. According to recent court filings, Andrews won her arbitration case three months ago and the final ruling was “highly critical of conduct by both Stokes and TWC management.” The network is now seeking to keep details of the arbitrator’s 17-page report secret, while Andrews wants to publicly file the document in a lawsuit she has brought against the 50-year-old Stokes in a Georgia state court.

Good grief.

You’d have to be a really big FUCK UP to listen to this pimpled-ass, draft-dodging FAT FUCK…

Limbaugh throws support to ‘weaker’ Obama

Rush Limbaugh, between crowing about the success and attention of his “Operation Chaos,” switched sides in the Democratic primary this morning.

“I now urge the Democratic superdelegates to go publicly make your mind up for Obama,” he said.

Earlier, he said, “I’m now tempted to tell superdelegates to pick Obama because I now believe he would be the weakest nominee.” [...]

Not sure there are really a lot of dittoheads among the superdelegates, however.

Also, he took an obligatory shot at McGovern, who just called on Clinton to drop out.

“Mcgovern in his lifetime wants to see someone lose worse than he did,” he said.

McGovern didn’t go run and hide when called to war. Actually, McGovern volunteered.

And if McGovern wanted to see a big LOSER, all he would need to do is take a look at your FAT ASS, you FAT FUCK LOSER.

Sigh…

Hillary Clinton says she’ll stay in the presidential race

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says she will remain in the presidential race “until there’s a nominee.” The former first lady declined to say whether that meant through the roll call of the states at the Democratic National Convention this summer. [...]

And in endorsing Obama, former Sen. George McGovern said Wednesday it’s virtually impossible for Clinton to win the nomination. McGovern said he had a call in to former President Clinton to tell him of the decision, adding that he remains close friends with the Clintons.

But Obama has won the nomination “by any practical test” and is very close to a majority of the pledged delegates, said McGovern, who is 85. Obama moved within 200 delegates of clinching the nomination with his split decision on Tuesday of a win in North Carolina and a narrow loss in Indiana.

It’s time to unite the Democratic Party, he said.

It’s PAST TIME to unite the party. What the hell is wrong with these people?

We all know how SHITTY republicans can be. I guess we’re finding out this can also apply to moderate democrats. This “fuck the country… we’ve got an election to win!” attitude is pure HORSE SHIT.

** UPDATE **

Maybe Hillary CAN still win this thing!

South Florida hit hard, with a 73% increase over April last year.

They’re up as a whole across the nation, also……. what an ugly mess Bushco has made.

Dan Froomkin has a piece on Laura Bush’s speech yesterday about the deadly cyclone that hit Burma last weekend. Not exactly a compassionate speech.

Dan Eggen writes in The Washington Post: “Laura Bush condemned the military government in Burma yesterday for its ‘inept’ response to a deadly weekend cyclone, marking an unusual foray by the president’s spouse into a high-profile foreign policy crisis.

I’ll state the obvious here. She’s married to the idiot who had an ‘inept’ response to a deadly day on our Gulf Coast. She’s married to the idiot who had an ‘inept’ response to planes crashing into the twin towers on 911. She’s married to the idiot who told parents of dead soldiers “now don’t go selling this on ebay” when he presented them with presidential coins. I could go on and on……but do I have to?

Tweety and Olbermann talk about what, if any, effect Limbaugh’s campaign to get Republicans to vote for Clinton had in Indiana. Then, Nora O’Donnell goes on to talk about race and the Wright factor. (She wants to keep the Wright factor going)

Limbaugh is pitiful. I don’t know if his crap really did anything to change this race. How many Republicans are really just switching over? No telling. How sad for them that they feel the only way they can win an election is to play games and fuck up the election in any way they can. Talk about desperate. Can you imagine what our founding fathers would think about this? Just pitiful.

Tim Russert: “We now know who the democratic nominee will be and no one is going to dispute it.”

She’s not quitting. She pumped another $6.4 million of her own money into her campaign in the last month. No wonder Bill looked kinda forlorn at her speech last night. And they say she could eventually cut a deal with Obama where she drops out and he pays off her debt. What kind of shit is that? Politics….. what a fucked up game.

Republicans are getting a little worried with the way things are stacking up against them. So bad, the House Republican Conference is splitting apart in an “everybody for himself” mode. Worthless assholes.

In a piece published in Human Events, the Republicans- onetime captain, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, warned his old colleagues that they face “real disaster” on Election Day unless they move immediately to “chart a bold course of real reform” for the country. [...]

Republicans are suffering a crisis of confidence after the two special election losses. There’s talk that House Minority Leader John A. Boehner and other GOP leaders could be ousted if the party suffers double-digit losses in November. [...]

“The Republican loss in the special election for Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District last Saturday should be a sharp wake-up call for Republicans,” Gingrich wrote. “Either congressional Republicans are going to chart a bold course of real change or they are going to suffer decisive losses this November.”

You gotta love the threat thrown at Boehner! Gives me a warm feeling all over.

All those years of GOP control… and NOW they’re talking about charting a “bold course of real reform.”

No worries. Millions of Americans are stupid enough to fall for this sh*t and give them yet another chance.

This is sad. This is SO sad. What bag of lies will he have to tell now to turn this thing around for the republican party?

Better call Rove!

McCain’s Rough Night Overshadowed By Clinton’s

As the battle over Indiana progressed between Sens Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton late Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, a set of depressing polls numbers were finalized for John McCain.

In the GOP primaries in North Carolina and Indiana, the basically uncontested Republican nominee did not gain more than 80 percent of the vote. [...]

None of these totals, to be sure, will affect the Arizona Republican’s almost certain path to the nomination. But it has been more than two months now since McCain became the presumptive GOP candidate, and in each state election since he achieved that measure he has continued to lose a relatively substantial chunk of Republican support. In Pennsylvania, for example, McCain won 73 percent of the vote, with Paul pulling in 16 and Huckabee 11.
