Scottie just refused to say that the FCC wouldn't be used politically.

Did anyone else hear that? One reporter questioned that since there is a possibility that Stern will be forced off the air by fines for obscenity, can the WH assure that the FCC will not be used to limit political speech. The reporter asked twice and twice Scottie was evasive.

Incredible.

8. It is interesting that Scottie's admission
comes at the same time that the Republicans are making noise about Moore's film violating FEC rules.

It just doesn't end.

9. I got news for you: we'll have to DRAG them out.
Even then, we might not succeed, even then.

Revolutions happen. We just might see one. Or a coup.

11. We have seen a bloodless coup already.
There isn't much doubt that they will do anything to stay in power. The doubt is in whether most Americans will care.

14. I'm terrified that you're right about that
Men who were willing to toss out the rule of law to seize power are not going to let an election by "rabble" deprive them of it.

If this is true, we're going to see a military coup.

12. Yeah, he doesn't seem all there.
But Scottie's answer was Scottie's answer even if the reporter is a nut.
