CNN Used to be Led by a Dildo. But They Aren't Anymore.

I have two topics to discuss, one laughably trivial, the other a matter of the greatest importance. First, my needless extension of the all-time movie quotes selections. I have given this some considerable thought, and I have decided that these following quotes should have been selected, if the AFI had a soul:
1. "Dink." - On the Waterfront 1954
2. "Ooh! You guys made me INK!" - Finding Nemo 2003
3. "I know now why you cry, but it is something that I can never do." - Terminator 2: Judgement Day 1991
4. "Oh Rikki, you are so brave!" - Rikki Tikki Tavi 1975
5. "It's just a couch! This isn't life, this is just stuff, and it's become more important to you than living. Well honey, that's just nuts!" - American Beauty 1999
6. "Are we on 'Cops' again?" - Drop Dead Gorgeous 1999
7. "Peppermint dick! Peppermint...CLIT!" - Girl, Interrupted 1999
8. "I was to be a ham." - To Kill a Mockingbird 1962
9. "Hey, Boo." - To Kill a Mockingbird 1962
10. The hand on the car window in Titanic. There are no words necessary for such an epochal event.
Leo, have sex in a car with me. It will be way hot.

You're not so tough without your fucking cobra egg, are ya? Mongooses per sempre.


They are all timeless masterpieces, and yet were ignored by snobby elitists in Hollywood. This is a tragic day on all fronts.

Now, I want to bring an issue to the attention of our thousands of readers that will (hopefully) wake up Weenie Brian, because I know he happens to have a completely opposing viewpoint on this. Several months ago, Eason Jordan, the chief news executive at CNN was forced to resign, largely because of a huge uproar in the right-wing blogosphere. He went to the Davos Economic Forum in Switzerland and said that our US military was targeting journalists. He had no evidence to back it up, and his career was over a few days after the news got out.
About a week after the Eason Jordan resignation, the left went after a complete nobody named Jeff Gannon. The charge, it appears, was based on the fact that his real name wasn't Jeff Gannon. He was some two-bit "journalist" working for an online magazine that nobody read, and was giving clearance to attend White House press briefings. He also was into gay porn, and there were apparently pictures of him giving it to some guy in the a-hole. The left got pissed that someone with almost no credentials got access to Bush and Scott McClellan, so Jeff Gannon resigned. Mr. Weenie Brian feels that Jeff Gannon posed a greater threat to the country because he was IN the White House. He can correct me if I'm mistaken in any of this. I feel that Eason Jordan, as the head of a news organization with considerable power and sway to incorporate his bias in such a way that millions of people around the country might hear his anti-military bullshit in the guise of a thought piece or something on CNN, is a greater danger.

The reason this is somewhat relevant today, is that there is a new Eason Jordan in our midst. Linda Foley is President of the Newspaper Guild, which is the journalistic equivalent of the AFL or one of those other cockneyed unions. She was caught on tape saying that the military was targeting Arab journalists. Take a look for yourselves. I don't personally see any actual evidence to support that theory, though I have no doubt that journalists are by no means safe wandering around Iraq reporting on car bombings. I would LOVE to know what Weenie thinks about this.
