Meet the Brokaw

Pretty smart move by Brokaw and NBC that will maintain the integrity of the show through this election cycle. I do find it ironic that NBC and MSNBC, who through Olbermann, Matthews and to a degree even Russert (who now-famously declared the nomination for Obama), have become the most Obama friendly major network, will now turn away from "on-the-job training" and change for experience and inevitability. Personally, I think it's great. Brokaw's got the stones for it. I really like Brian Williams and thought he did a decent job on this morning's broadcast but I don't think he was forceful enough as a moderator and was almost softspoken. Tim Russert may have been understated but he was never softspoken.

Scott McClellan is a Tool

Scott McClellan may be a complete slimeball but it seems that his book may open the doors for a serious, unfettered investigation into the Valerie Plame affair and several other Bush White House scandals.
Excerpt:
""The administration has always called for different kinds of privileges to avoid their officials testifying, but because Mr. McClellan has put all this information in a book, these privileges, I do not believe, would be available to the administration, so we would have a free flow of information," Rep. Robert Wexler, a senior Democratic on the committee, said when he called for McClellan's testimony."

Barack Obama Hates Muslims

So we have a little peek into the nefarious world of the Presidential campaign. Campaign volunteers at two separate Obama events asked two headscarf-wearing Muslim women to either remove their headgear, or Hijab, or not stand behind Obama for the obligatory "diverse-support" photo op. Obama's spokesperson stated "[t]his is of course not the policy of the campaign. It is offensive and counter to Obama's commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run." I have no reason not believe that Obama handed down a no-Hijab mandate (Obama posed the following morning in a group shot with someone wearing a Hijab) but it does speak to an unspoken issue: "the candidate has vigorously denies a false, viral rumor that he himself is Muslim. But the denials seem to some at times to imply that there is something wrong with the faith, though Obama occasionally adds that he means no disrespect to Islam."
