Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Lou Dobbs Irks Another Democrat

He got another one. Lou Dobbs, the Howard Beale of CNN, that is. Former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer, a former Democratic Party chairman, tells us that he was watching Dobbs recently and turned mad as hell at the anchor's opinions. "I'm a news hound and I [sat] in front of the television," he says. He turned to Dobbs, the popular though controversial host of Lou Dobbs Tonight. "I was after news," says Romer, but "the people who were supposedly delivering the news to me have deliberately assumed points of view and personality types that I think frankly are part of their market. I was so offended I had to just turn the damn TV off." Romer fears cable news is now more entertainment than facts. "The written press has got tremendous responsibility to help this nation," he implores.

wall st bailout

i own a small construction business, and we are at a stand still; why should the goverment bail out the big money makers on wall street while us small companies are struggling to just put a roof over our heads, and food on the table, while these big companies are giving millions of dollars in bonuses to their ceo's from the taxpayers money! what the government needs to do is help people get back to work. that would solve the recession we are in. these big fat cats don't create jobs they spend on themselves. look at how much money that ceo made at leammon brothers. he ought to be in jail. look at how many people lost their 401k's ans etc.

president election
