Remember the $550,000 "indecency" fine the FCC imposed on CBS?

"FCC Plans Record Fine For CBS" - for televising Janet Jackson's boob far too quickly for the masses to get a really good look.

Well, CBS is now just partially exposing the biggest boob in the country.

At the same time, forty teats of the GOP's Congressional Sow are now erect and engorged with the fecal matter their many blind and brainless slop-covered piglets love to suck up so dearly.

"Republican Lawmakers Ask CBS to Retract Bush Story"

Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- A group of 40 House Republican lawmakers asked CBS News to retract a story alleging that President George W. Bush received preferential treatment while serving in the Texas Air National Guard.

The lawmakers, in a letter to CBS News President Andrew Heyward, said documents cited in the report may be forgeries and that CBS had become ``part of a campaign to deceive the public and to defame'' Bush.

It's a plague of Mad Sow disease. (I wonder if CBS is getting $550,000 in increased ratings?)

Whatever goes around, comes around. (Maybe not always in my lifetime, but eventually.)

1. You Have a Damned Fine Way With Imagery

regarding the GOP's Congressional Sow. When the story on the outing of Valerie Plame broke, people were saying how dangerous it was to mess with the CIA, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's not just as dangerous to mess with the media. Consider that, in the week before the media jumped all over Howard Dean's spirited speech - the one where background crowd noise was muted in order to make his shouts seem loony in context - he had made a statement on a news show that one of his goals as president was to shake up media ownership in a big way.

2. The FCC tried biting the hand that feeds them.

Unfortunately, that's not the public. They feed at the same trough of corporate largesse as the Congressional Mad Sow.
