Nina Totenberg is an idiot

Quote of the day
I found this quote at News Busters from Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio: I want to say one thing about the Budget that didn’t get passed, the Omnibus Bill. You know, we talk a lot about - we just passed this huge Tax Cut in part because business said, you know, we have to plan, we have to know what kind of tax cuts we have. Well, these agencies, including the Defense Department, don’t know how much money they’ve got and for what. And I was at - forgive the expression

NPR must fire Nina Totenberg
NPR must fire Nina Totenberg. Nothing less will be ok. Nothing less will be acceptable. NPR, funded by your Tax Dollars and mine, must treat attacks on religions consistently. Nina Totenberg, correspondent for National Public Radio, took a shot at Christianity on TV (Real Clear Politics). “And I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas Party at the Department of Justice and people actually were really worried about this,” said Totenberg. FORGIVE THE EXPRESSION???? Does she ...

War On Christmas Resumes? NPRs Nina Totenberg Embarrassed To Say Christmas Party
On Sunday’s Inside Washington, NPR’s Nina Totenberg apologized for using the words “Christmas Party” in a discussion about budgets. It’s unclear why she became as red in the face as the red Christmas flowers behind her when she mistakenly allowed the “offensive” words to escape from her lips. Yet she does regret that no alternative expression was available to describe the party she attended. Maybe in the wake of Juan Williams’ firing, NPR employe...

No, Haley Barbour is Not a Racist
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour is being accused of being some sort of Jim Crow Racist for a comment he made during an interview with the Weekly Standard. “Because the business community wouldn’t stand for it,” he said. “You heard of the Citizens Councils? Up north they think it was like the KKK. Where I come from it was an organization of town leaders. . . .” You’ll have to follow the link above for the full quote. And if you read the entire article, you’ll no

Al Sharpton Working with FCC to Shut Up Rush Limbaugh and Others
Here’s audio of Al Sharpton talking to Tom Joyner (lib talker?) about how he’s working with the FCC to haul Rush Limbaugh and others to make them explain how they justify using public airwaves to offend people. Basically, he’s accusing Rush of being a Racist, and wants the FCC to shut him up. “Free Speech for me but not for thee.” Video below the fold. (Note: Video plays automatically) Flashback: This is the same Al Sharpton who shouted “punk faggot” a...

NPR progressive hag Nina Totenberg I Was At Forgive the Expression a Christmas Party
NPR progressive hag Nina Totenberg - ‘I Was At - Forgive the Expression - a Christmas Party…’ I wonder if NPR will fire this hag for making a statement as outrageous as this? They fired Juan Williams for having in opinion by saying he gets nervous on a plane if someone is dressed in “Muslim garb.” This past weekend on “Inside Washington”, Nina Totenberg made the comment: I want to say one thing about the Budget that didn’t get passed, the o

David Limbaugh: Regulators are wasting time regulating Christmas
It's that time of year when we are reminded just how indebted we are to the left's mega-tolerant cultural warriors. Annually, they jolt us out of our complacency to notice how imposing, intolerant and dangerous Christmas and Christianity are. If it weren't for these valiant Soldiers, this disturbing proliferation of Christmas celebrations and other Christian symbols would proceed unabated. Each year, the examples are too voluminous to document exhaustively, but permit me to share a few highligh...

Distorting the tax policy debate (Rep. Ron Paul)
George Orwell warned us about the use of “meaningless words” in politics, words that are endlessly repeated by sloganeering politicians until they have no meaning at all. Meaningless words certainly were on display during last week’s congressional debate over the latest tax bill. Over and over again we heard trite, empty phrases like “Tax Cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent,” “tax giveaways,” “tax Earmarks,” and “borrowing money to give to Milliona

Obama to sign 'don't ask' Tuesday
Published: Dec. 21, 2010 at 12:50 PM President Barack Obama speaks before signing the Middle Class Tax Cut bill in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on December 17, 2010 in Washington DC. The measure would extend tax cuts for families at every income level, renew jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed and enact a new one-year cut in Social Security taxes that would benefit nearly every worker who earns a wage. UPI/Olivier Douliery/POOL WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- The White House s...

Washington Week
While most Americans spent this weekend doing some last minute Christmas Shopping, the Senate spent Saturday and Sunday debating and voting on amendments to the START Treaty, the DREAM Act and the Repeal of the Defense Department's “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. When all was said and done, the Senate sent to the president the Repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” defense policy. The DREAM Act was defeated and the START treaty remains the pending b...

GOP Blocks Democrats' Last-Ditch Spending Spree
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) forced Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-N.V.) to surrender his efforts to fund the government with Democratic priorities for another ten months. Reid accepted a short-term, clean Continuing Resolution (CR), which funds the government at current spending levels until March 4. The lame-duck Senate will vote on the new CR on Tuesday. To prevent a government shutdown, the CR has to pass the House and get signed by the President on Tuesday. McConnell used...

NPR's Nina Totenberg: 'I Was At - Forgive the Expression - a Christmas Party...'
Liberal NPR Journalist Nina Totenberg, on Inside Washington this weekend: "I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas Party."

Quote of the day Nina Totenberg edition
Sigh: “I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas Party.“  Liberal NPR Journalist Nina Totenberg, on Inside Washington this weekend. I wonder how often Ms. Totenberg has had to apologize for calling Christmas, well, Christmas during the course of her hip, chatty DC cocktail circuit conversations with liberal elites who turn their noses up at all things traditionally Christian? I can’t imagine ever doing so.  In fact, I will NEVER apologize for calling Christmas

NPRs Nina Totenberg: I was at a forgive the expression Christmas party
What’s with the libs? Now they feel the need to ask forgiveness for attending Christmas parties? NPR’s Nina Totenberg was talking about the Budget, and how the omnibus pork bill didn’t pass. She mistakenly said a big Tax Cuts package did pass (it was an extension of current rates, not a tax cut package) and was describing how government agencies don’t know what their budgets are going to be next year. She said “And I was at - forgive the expression - a Christm...

NPR Reporter Nina Totenberg Ashamed to Say She was at a Christmas Party I was at forgive the expression a Christmas Party
What is wrong with Liberals, have they completely lost their minds and their souls. They certainly have lost their religion. From Newsbusters comes the following story of an NPR reporter Nina Totenberg interjected on Inside Washington, “I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas Party.” What? Why would she have to forgive the expression? Are NPR liberals now openly apologizing for dare referencing the word “Christmas” in public. Are we to understand that the LEFT n

Nina Totenberg: "I Was At Forgive the Expression a Christmas Party at the Department of Justice...."
Brent Baker at NewsBusters does not understand why Totenberg said "forgive the expression." In his headline, he uses the same quote I've used in my headline, but he puts the ellipsis 5 words before I've put mine. ADDED: I can't say "say no more" without thinking of this. ...

NPR's Nina Totenberg Apologizing For Using the Word "Christmas" on the Air: "I Was At Forgive the Expression a Christmas Party
PC madness... newsbusters NPR reporter Nina Totenberg interjected on Inside Washington in the weekend’s oddest cautionary separation from a common description for a common event, seemingly embarrassed to invoke any religious terminology for Christmas. She didn’t say what she’d prefer for parties this time of the year to be named. “Winter solstice party”? Just plain old “holiday party”? Or a “seasonal gathering ”? Totenberg’s bashfulne...

Nina Totenberg: "I Was -- Forgive the Expression -- At a Christmas Party"
She actually felt the need to literally apologize for using this foul expression. Does anyone think that Nina Totenberg, or anyone in the media or government or academy, would ever say, "I was -- forgive the expression -- at a gay Wedding"? No, of course not; they would never give that such a slight, classifying it as an actual vulgarity. But Christmas? To Nina Totenberg and the alien creatures who have, V-like, infiltrated and captured our key institutions, the word "Christmas" is now on par w...

They built the lead to 34-11 with 6:45 left in the first half before subbing liberally. Novosel and Mallory had 1...
