headline news is unbearable crap. the person hosting the show, the music, the packaging, the line of questions...this channel is for the mentally bankrupt. palast keeps his head above water, here, in a sea of corporate excrement.

this makes me wonder what is said behind the doors of Congress during the bailout

earmarks bribe is there a difference?

Greg's got one thing absolutely right we have to get the money out and paying for media (that operates free, via the tax payers)is their largest expense

Im allmost sad for him , or should I say us. Politicians are mostly corrupt , it comes with power. We don't know all the details tho and I'm sure alot of people were just waiting for a reason to hate this guy. On the other hand it doesn't look good for him. It's just sad because its the people that suffer from these corrupt washington politics.

I made an ELEPHANT from bathfoam!! Don't be jealous just click my name to see the video.

Sorry you feel nitpicked on. To clarify: to feel ASHAMED means that you are a guilty party, while to feel EMBRRASSED means that you are connected to a wrong-doer in some way, but that you, yourself, are not guilty of that wrong. Lexographers starting back in the '50s, did a terrible thing. They started using US as their AUTHORITY on the English language. That's probably why the definition you gave is so confused. I'm not bored; without a very stimulating response you won't hear from me again.

1. feeling shame; distressed or embarrassed by feelings of guilt, foolishness, or disgrace: He felt ashamed for having spoken so cruelly.

Jesus Christ can someone leave a comment without being nitpicked to death. yes! I meant I am ashamed of my governments conduct. I feel guilt, l feel embarassed. I expect more from my own government since we think we can tell every other country how they are supposed to live. your comment on the other hand must have been made out of sheer boredom.

[tuberpie68]

Don't you actually mean, that you are EMBARRASSED by the government? I grow increasingly concerned over the deterioration of the English & Spanish languages(& I'm sure it's happening in other languages, too) by their misuse in the mass media. This spreads the popularity of so misusing them. It's gotten to the point that, when someone says, something like,"It was LITERALLY a riot!" I don't know if there was a riot, at all, or if he just meant FIGURETIVELY---the very opposite of what he said!

Politicians should have no business in the dealings of America's money system period
