Thursday, Six days to go
LOCALLY, the most watched station for TV news (WBIR) had a live one on one with struggling NBC news reader, Brian Williams late yesterday afternoon. Williams openly said they were moving the NBC Nightly News cast (Thursday evening) to Memphis, reportedly to cover the Jr. Corker race. It was blatantly obvious that Williams was given marching orders by the agenda driven network to get down to Tennessee and do whatever you can to get Jr. a win.
The new NBC anchor tossed the issues out and focused on what he called Corker's "attack" ad, saying "we (NBC news staff) have memorized the lines" inferring the spot had really put Tennessee on the map.
Then when WBIR brought up the subject of Bob Corker putting a very large sum of (personal) money into the election, Brian Williams said "Oh just think what all that money could have done if it had been used to help those in need." At first blush the comment sounded like a typical liberal/Democrat talking point trying to punish the party of the haves for wasting their money on themselves rather than those less fortunate. On a second look it was just a giant flag saying we are here to pull out any and all stops to get Jr. elected! It was obvious WBIR was only a platform for Williams but a great follow up from our local station would have been…"Brian, the infusion of personal money from Bob Corker may be one of his greatest contributions to do good for everyone in his state by beating a man whose party ran John Kerry as their presidential candidate in 04." Naturally the rest of the one on one was filled with welcomes to Tennessee and a reminder to tune into WBIR when Brian holds his nose and brings his campaign/News show into our fly over southern state.
Friday night FOX NEWS will be live from Tennessee, for those who want a report and not a campaign.
After the former Democratic Presidential Candidate, John Kerry, insulted Americans serving on the ground in Iraq yesterday the Associated Press found the seed of his thoughts was planted over thirty years ago when he ran for congress.
Then Kerry said he opposed a volunteer Army because it would be dominated by the underprivileged, be less accountable and be more prone to "the perpetuation of war crimes." This morning Kerry is listening to his party and being very still. Even Hilla Rotting Ham Clinton jumped on Kerry's implosion to slam the lid on his 08 attempt by saying "we don't want a rerun of the 04 race" adding he was wrong in his remarks. Hilla glowed internally, knowing that his "John Dean type outburst" would play very well for her when she runs against him in the presidential primaries. It is fun to watch the Democrats eat their own, two years before they try to take back the people's house.
The last bit of the Kerry debacle came late yesterday when Jr. called for an apology from his former Democratic Presidential Candidate. Here is the REST of the story on Jr's attempt to do the right thing and get his candidate for President to apologize.
Nashville, TN -- In a live interview from Memphis minutes ago on MSNBC, Washington Congressman Harold Ford, when asked, said he will not return the $100,000 John Kerry’s PAC contributed to his campaign, prompting the Corker for Senate campaign to say Ford’s weak call for an apology from Kerry is a hollow gesture.
Today Bob Corker will be in Maryville at 1:30 speaking on the court house steps. Across the state one of Jr's biggest supporters, William Jefferson Clinton will be in Memphis campaigning for Jr. Here is one giant reason Bill Clinton is such a Ford supporter.
When Bill Clinton pardoned 16 members of a terrorist group responsible for 150 bombings and 6 U. S. deaths, the Director of the FBI, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and the Tennessee Congressional delegation all opposed the pardons. Well, all but one. Guess who? Harold Ford Jr.
Don't forget your last chance to early vote is today. If you still believe in the values of Tennessee and want a man in D.C. who follows in the footsteps of statesmen like Howard Baker then pass this blog on to your friends and remind everyone how important a vote for Bob Corker is!
As always, your thoughts are welcome and will be posted. Thank you for not only reading the blog but forwarding it to those on your e mail list. After the election we will get back to jokes, dog pictures, and whatever is tossed over the cyber transom.

National network news trying to help democrats get elected? Surely you jest.
Of course, I don't know how effective it will be since the numbers of viewers who actually watch network news is down so significantly in this day and time.
Ford will win...mark it down!
Everybody knows Kerry made a verbal gaffe. Everybody with a brain knows what he really meant to say. Everybody with right wings wants to build it into something it's not.
yeahboy
Thinking that Kerry's comments will not have an impact shows Ideological BLINDNESS. Will it decide the outcome of the race? Maybe.
For now, the latest poll shows Corker at 52% to Ford's 44%.
And Harold getting snippy with Hallerin Hill yesterday did NOT help him at all. Nor did his getting rude with a caller last week. His antics are hurting him. Harold better toughen up or throw in the towel.
Too close to call.
For now, the latest poll shows Corker at 52% to Ford's 44%.
GREAT numbers! Still we better get out and vote big time. I would love to see the surrounding counties in near Memphis go for BOB!
This slick-talking Ford guy scares me. He talks about "time for a change" in Washington. My goodness! He's already been there, so we can't depend on him for anything but more liberal crap.
I'm just commenting on your profile. New headline addendum: Walker Johnson, more teeth than personality.
Hi Tina, loved you on that BoB Denver show!
As for teeth all but 2 are mine and as for my personality, it will shine after I have assumed room temp.
Keep posting and thank you again for finding this blog. If you click on the profile...oh yea, you already did that...you will find a few more. Southern Looks is just pictures, Media Report is about our local kids in radio and TV and beause I am almost 60 I have NO idea what the others are!
Thanks again for posting, don't be a stranger!
Tina,
You are an arrogant b-i-t-c-h. Marianne was better looking than you, too.
Marianne was better looking than you, too."
HEY, don't start that fight, Marinne had that cute rear end, but man she lacked the long eye lashes and the cannnnns!
Yeah, but Ginger was a phony. Her ta tas weren't real, and neither were her eyelashes. With Marianne, what you saw was what you got.
And yet, with all that, Ford will still win.
yeahboy
The only way Ford wins is with a record dead voter turnout statewide.
I might have known after you had a president who didn't even know there were Sunnis and Shiites in the country he invaded, you damn Republicans couldn't even spell my name right! It's Mary Ann, dammit! And I'm voting for Ford, too!
Yeah, it figures that a resident of Kansas would try to vote in an election in Tennessee for a loony left wing nut. Ford's only hope now is the dead vote and voters who aren't even legally registered in Tennessee.
That's all right, Diebold is backing the Republicans. You have nothing to worry about. And, I'm sorry, I'm not in Kansas anymore. The Professor and I married and moved to Oak Ridge. He invented a fuel made out of coconut milk and palm leaves that gets 500 miles a gallon .... but Exxon had him kidnapped and sent to a secret prison.
Diebold is backing the Republicans"
See today's post about the MISSING Smart Cards in ... where
else?? MEMPHIS!
Ummmmmm, the area most likely to go Democrat and the smart cards are missing and you think it's the DEMOCRATS sabatoging it? Now I'm beginning to understand how you come to the conclusion that the Neocons are good, the media is all liberal and Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and William Bennett are upstanding people .....
