What’s the top story on CNN TV this morning? Someone found that 250 Level III sex offenders have had their Viagra prescriptions paid for by Medicaid in NY State. Shock abounds. What kind of doctor would prescribe Viagra to a sex offender? Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is all over CNN condemning this atrocity.
(Yes, it’s awful. But it should be fairly easy to stop though via a flag in Medicaid’s system and an alert to doctors. Is this top story material in any universe but CNN, MSNBC, Fox … oh god, Fox. Has anyone watched to see what they’re doing with this story?)
in the side of the head when I realized that he was pimping this story.
Isn’t their some movie they should be promoting?
and how about Laura Bush’s statement on Today show this morning. Standing there in front of the great Pyramids, in color coordinated suit spewing the administrations lies twice if not more. First when asked about the protestors against her said she wasn’t surprise and “It was only one or two protestors”. Did anyone else see the video over the weekend? There were hundreds yelling at her and they said police and secret service had to link arms to protect her and hold the protestors back.
Lie #2 asked about the pictures being printed she said it hurt our image in the world. Katie asked if she meant Saddam undies pics or Abu Ghraib and she said both but “people must understand this is just a very small handful of people committing these things and they should be held accountable. This is not the norm.” I got news for you Laura my dear, images don’t hurt our image, our actions do. Boy, have I got a twelve step program for the Queen of Denial. It’s called Coda…
is aware the the cookie monster has arrived. He may need to take precautions.
I LOVE THAT AD!
Okay, this is really embarrassing to admit – but what the hey.
In light of the new spine we’ve seen growing in some sectors of the press, I. . .um. . .anxiously awaited the arrival of the NEW “Current Affair” show. I actually thought they might do hard hitting investigations into some of the many current atrocities.
And ya know what I got? A minister groping a parishoner. My viewing of their new, improved, hardhitting “investigations” lasted all of 45 seconds. Yup. That’s what we lack – investigations into an adult woman being inappropriately touched by her minister.
So – in the scheme of things – viagra for sex offenders is really big news.
