Romney, McCain and Guiliani skipped Tavis Smiley's Debate Last night

I didn't watch it last night, and had not been following the news on this. (Who was the fourth "top runner" referred to in this article who skipped out on the debate -- anyone know?)

I heard Stephanie Miller this morning commenting that they probably couldn't handle questions about caging lists and the Jena 6.

Had a nap scheduled at that time.
It was nice to see Alan Keyes back as the Jester. He was funny.

4. Juan Williams...Regime Enabler

I heard him on C-SPAN this morning attempting to spin how booshie really cares about them "black folk"...and that it wasn't only blacks who were the victims of Katrina, but white ones as well.

He also alluded that these debates are "slanted" to make Repugnicans look bad. He was almost as bad as the caller who wondered if they held a "Pro Life" debate if any of the Democrats would show. :puke:

At least the Repugnicans have found a way to solve minority problems...ignore them. They figure "these people" aren't gonna vote for them anyway, so why bother.

7. I am so old, I remember when Juan Williams was black

WAAAAAy back when (early 90s, late 80s?) Williams was pretty good. But somewhere after a Republican Party victory Williams outlook changed. Can't remember when exactly. I think the Clinton impeachment time. He was fully turned before NPR sent the shot across the bow by firing Bob Edwards.

8. When He Cashed Murdoch's Check

He moved in with Susan Ostrich and the other "whipping Dems" on Faux.

I do miss Bob Edwards...I enjoyed Morning Edition for years.

Cheers...

5. Major coverage of this on the Today show this morning...

I almost spit my coffee out. I couldn't believe it! Made the no-shows out to be the racist scumbags they are. Tavis Smiley was on - really pissed at the GOP.

6. Yes, I heard some about it first on NPR this morning, then on Stephanie Miller.

Glad to hear it's being discussed on teevee, to. Maybe it will resonate with the masses.
