Whenever we do a week in review, there's always going to be something that's not safe for work or for kids. This week is no exception. So, watch this with caution:

2. Cenk-
Real class, your act lacks any class as do some of your Left Wingnut fans. To mock Tony Snow, to call Tony Snow a LIAR, a day after he was buried, no class. Plus, no facts, just call Tony Snow a LIAR, no class
OBAMA had a bad week, he shows up on cover of New Yorker magazine as a Muslim and his wife as Black Muslim militant. HMMMMMMM Bad week Obama.
McCain-Good Week-in Newsweek poll McCain pulled into a statistical dead heat with Bushama.
Cenk-Bush is not running for President. It will be Bushama vs McCain.No need for Bush bad week, he is not a candidate.
Pelosi said less than 2 years ago, that she would lower gas prices.
McCain good week-surge in Iraq over, more troops will be pulled out.
Obama-bad week. he said troop surge would never work, it did and a huge success and is over. Obama still wants to surrender after troops victory. Obama goes to Iraq so he can change his mind again.
Tally
Very bad week Bushama
Very good week McCain

3. Cenk, you gleefully passed over on the biggest story of the Year: Rev. Jackson's desire to castrate Barack Obama and his referring to Black Americans as n!##&@$.
You also missed the follow up story as well: When is Al Crap-tongue going to pull out the bull horn, march on the Rainbow Headquarters demanding Rev. Jackson's firing (ala...Imus) and threaten boycotts against the Corporations doing business with any Rev. Jackson's interest?
You are not a Journalist.
You are just a Pahetic Opinionist.

4. Way to keep with the current issues Ms/Mr. blogger.
So no story on New york Post,Jesse Jackson,3 top news anchors going to Iraq. Ah yes you just keep with your three revolving stories: McCain, Bush and Fox News. Gotta keep those two viewers of yours happy huh? I have a question though after Novemeber who are you gonna write about? Bush and McCain will be gone. Ahhhh I see yes job security with FOX, whew good thing that biased racist hateful network will still be around huh?

5. What's embarrassing is AOL calling this group "Star Bloggers".
When did they start that? Have I just missed it. I don't check these sillies very often. Sink being King of The Sillies.
The only one who even qualifies as a sort of celebrity is Mo Rocca. Sink would not even be heard of if it were not for this forum...and rightly so...he's a HACK pure and simple. He has nothing redeeming in his writings, just a wannabe Oppelganger or Maddog or whatever the current robot on MSNBC is.

6. Wow, Jerk, why don't ya just pull down Osama bin Obama's zipper and go ahead a pleasure him up? He and you are losers. That AOL pays you and I use their service is the biggest embarrassment.
**************************************************
Change you can believe-
Osama bin Obama announced today that when he is elected he plans to change the national symbol to the Condom. He says this more accurately reflects his administration's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks and gives taxpayers a sense of security while they are actually getting screwed.
Remember, an American voting for Osama bin Obama is like an Israeli voting for Al Qaeda.

8. The most embarrassing thing is you guys thinking that commentary on Tony Snow was worthy of inclusion in your weekly highlights.
You're one sick puppy, Cenk.

9. If it's been a "bad week" for McCain according to Cenk it's been an even worse week for the country with the transparency of the new world order being foretold.
It's been explained why it's ok to say the word "nigger" in a candidacy of change because it's a term of endearment for one side & wreaks of racism by others. You cannot call americans whiners but if you're the right color you can cut someone's nuts out or disparage them with brotherly love epithets.
You cannot criticize the presumed democratic candidate's wife. She is the cinderella whose slippers have not seen the stroke of midnight yet. Bad form for the media.
You cannot print unfavorable satire which according to the democratic party is racist of the worst kind & leaves no room for opposing thought. We not only want to own your mind, we want to reprogram it.
You cannot charge the media of bias. It is their supreme right to assign as many anchors as they like on a "catch up" mission of fact finding. It is also the right of the candidate to bring along 300 advisors as he is clueless to the intricacies of that before him.
Please step to the back of the plane to sign your waivers. You must always remember to smile, keep an editor at hand & do not ask hard questions! This is verboten!
Now off on a magic carpet ride with the new messiah, the world is changing right before our eyes....

10. Young Turks is a joke, who is listening?? Nobody!! You are more of the Obama lovers. Good luck with that when the country no longer exists!!! Your show will be off air, end of story!

Tony Snow accomplished more in his professional life at 53 than any of the bloggers could ever imagine. To judge a man simply based on his political views is pathetic and shows the ignorance of the individual. Huffington did at least have the decency to remove the vitriol towards Snow. As far as others like the Kos and Moveon well I didn't really expect any different.

13. It's a HOOT, watching wingnuts vent their phony indignation!
Here you go! Tissues for all the wingnuts, compliments of Captain Negative.

Your a sad little person, I almost pity you, but frankly you scare me and you remind me of the weird guy at the end of the bar staring at everyone. I have noticed your posts on these blogs and I think you need some serious help. Are you writing from a psychiatric hospital? It is a serious question. Look at what you wrote it's incoherent babble and so full of hate that it's alarming. I would look for you on the 6 o'clock news in the near future.
