ESPN: Fair and Balanced?

Apparently not...

So, you may or may not have heard about Dana Jacobson and her idiotic comments at a roast for ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike. You may or may not be aware, co-host Mike Golic played football at Notre Dame. And apparently during the roast,

Jacobson made an absolute fool of herself, swilling vodka from a Belvedere bottle, mumbling along and cursing like a sailor as Mike & Mike rested their heads in their hands in embarrassment."

Jacobson, a Bloomfield Hills native and Michigan grad, reportedly dropped F-bombs on roastee Mike Golic's alma mater, Notre Dame -- with football coach Charlie Weis in the crowd.

From what I heard on Ellis Cannon's Sports Line Pittsburgh, it was more along the lines of "F**k Notre Dame, F**k Touchdown Jesus, and F**k Jesus." Drunk or not, that's pretty bad.

She got a one week suspension from her show, "First Take" on ESPN which nobody watches anyway.

One can only imagine what would have happened if she had said "F**k Allah." But what if she had said "F**k Martin Luther King Jr.?"

Thinking about this, I have to wonder about Rush Limbaugh. Let's go back to 2003. You may recall another co-host at ESPN being fired, or "asked to resign" for these comments:

"I don't think he's been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there's a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."

So, a known conservative male, states something that has some actual merit to it and gets fired. A woman says "F**k Jesus" and gets a weeks vacation?

Now, if you know me or are the least bit familiar with my postions on things, you'll know I'm not a particularly religious person. I am in 100% in support of the concept of freedom. I will question what people say, but I will fight to the death to defend their right to say it.

That being said, I think it's clear I am far more interested in Justice than I am in Jesus. But, if the level of offensiveness is going to have anything to do with Justice in our society, we need to actually level the playing field and apply the concept of Justice to it. There is no way in hell, mentioning the fact that Donovan McNabb is black is in any way comparable to saying "F**k Jesus." Yet Rush was fired and Dana was suspended for a week.

I'm not Jesus, but that is not Justice...

I'm Suffering From: Electile Dysfunction

Electile Dysfunction: The inability to become politically aroused over any of the choices for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.

I think this is part of the reason why...

Florida: Romney 25%, McCain 20%, Giuliani 19%, Huckabee 13% and falling.

This can't be good for Rudy

Hasn't he spent most of this primary season in Florida? Seems to me he should have a better showing in the polls at this point. This strategy of concentrating on Florida and Super Tuesday doesn't appear to be working...

What's Up With Hillary's Flag?

What's wrong with this picture?

The freakin stars are upside down. And I got the pictures from her website: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/blog/view/?id=21760

If you watch the slideshow, you'll see mulitiple shots of it, so it's not a trick or a fake.

A Look at Obama

Very interesting...

Kyle-Anne Shiver has a very interesting piece in the American Thinker that is worth reading.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/01/obamas_alinsky_jujitsu.html

Just a little bit from the article to peak your interest...

The agitator's job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the "realization" that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent "self-interest" in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease.

In these methods, euphemistically labeled "community organizing," Obama had a four-year education, which he often says was the best education he ever got anywhere.

Is it any wonder, then, that Obama's Alinsky Jujitsu is making mincemeat of the woman who merely interviewed Alinsky, wrote about him, and spent the next 30 years in corporate law and in the lap of taxpayer-funded luxury in government mansions?

And that's not even the best part. Read the entire piece. It's worth the 10 minutes...
