just go read it but heres a taste:

Dana Milbank won't be on the news hour any more.
Dana Milbank of The Washington Post, who notified us today that after four years appearing with us, he had accepted another television offer. This saved your crack Countdown staff an increasingly difficult decision.
We had decided not to have Dana on this news-hour again until this was cleared up, and, sadly after some very happy years, he's apparently chosen to make that cloud permanent. Good luck, Dana.

Proof?  Obama won 7 of 10 those really, white  "white  state" contests.

However, Obama himself voted for a 2005 energy bill backed by Bush that included billions in subsidies for oil and natural gas production, a measure Cheney played a major role in developing.

McCain opposed the bill on grounds it included billions in unnecessary tax breaks for the oil industry.

Democratic candidate Barack Obama criticized Republican John McCain on Tuesday for taking a page out of "the Cheney playbook" on energy, overlooking his own support of oil-friendly policies that the unpopular vice president helped to craft.

However, Obama himself voted for a 2005 energy bill backed by Bush that included billions in subsidies for oil and natural gas production, a measure Cheney played a major role in developing. McCain opposed the bill on grounds it included billions in unnecessary tax breaks for the oil industry.

The Obama campaign has said the Illinois senator supported the legislation because it included huge investments in renewable energy.

Big-Dollar Donors are Major Force in Obama Campaign:

In an effort to cast himself as independent of the influence of money on politics, Senator Barack Obama often highlights the campaign contributions of $200 or less that have amounted to fully half of the $340 million he has collected so far.

But records show that one-third of his record-breaking haul has come from donations of $1,000 or more -- a total of $112 million, more than Senator John McCain, Mr. Obama's Republican rival, or Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, his opponent in the Democratic primaries, raised in contributions of that size.

Behind those larger donations is a phalanx of more than 500 Obama "bundlers," fundraisers who have each collected contributions totaling $50,000 or more. Many of the bundlers come from industries with critical interests in Washington. Nearly three dozen of the bundlers have raised more than $500,000 each, including more than a half-dozen who have passed the $1 million mark and one or two who have exceeded $2 million, according to interviews with fundraisers.

While his campaign has cited its volume of small donations as a rationale for his decision to opt out of public financing for the general election, Mr. Obama has worked to build a network of big-dollar supporters from the time he began contemplating a run for the United States Senate. He tapped into well-connected people in Chicago prior to the 2004 Senate race, and once elected, set out across the country starting to cultivate some of his party's most influential money collectors.

Here was the question to Bill:

Do you think Senator Obama is ready to be president?:
ANSWER:  It can be argued no one is ever ready to be president. I know I had to learn a lot my first year.  But he's(Obama) great at strategy, great at inspiring (which all presidents have to be), and is smart as a whip which means he can learn whatever he has to.

I may have left out a word or two but that is pretty close to what Bill said.  And yet, Gregory, and his four Clinton hating friends, all were sneering at his "bitterness."

Have they got a clue that ANYTHING they say is not to be believed?
I'm talking about the call to drill on the coasts to 'save money at the pump' silliness, demanding that Nancy Pelosi allow a vote for it.
I don't see the presses stopping. I don't hear the MSM flocking to cover it like when Newt called for the government to shut down back in the days of Bill Clinton. I am glad it did shut down,and called their bluff.
