And, yes, I DO take it personally

Tell CBS to re-hire John Batiste

you can sign the petition here... what i sent is below...

C'mon, CBS, get a clue. John Batiste is about as partisan as pound cake and was certainly not pushing a political viewpoint in his VoteVets ad. He obviously cares a great deal about the horrible mess in Iraq and for the soldiers and former colleagues who are having their lives ruined and sometimes ended by fighting in a war that is already lost for a president who is too stubborn to face the truth. That has nothing to do with being Republican or Democrat, nothing to do with who wins or loses an election, and nothing to do with attempting to gain political advantage. It DOES have a great deal to do with being a concerned American. Make this right, CBS, and give him his job back. Show us you can admit to a mistake, unlike our President.

First Batiste, now Eaton

the generals are lining up to lay their cards on the table about bush and iraq... good for them... and it appears eaton decided to go ahead with the votevets ad (see below) when he clearly knew about batiste's recent experience (see video below)...

i posted yesterday on the new votevets ad...

Iraq veteran Gen. John Batiste “has been asked to leave his position as a consultant to CBS News” over a new VoteVets ad criticizing the Iraq war.

swell, just fucking swell... it isn't the batistes of the world that need the ax, it's the kristols and the kondrackes that need to go... what the hell is the matter with cbs...? here's olbermann interviewing batiste...
