TRANSCRIPT
Thom Hartmann here on the news
You need to know this. Rick Perry is wasting no time resorting to violent rhetoric in his campaign for President. While speaking to a crowd in Iowa Perry weighed in on the Federal Reserve and Chairman Ben Bernankes monetary policy saying, If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno what yall would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Perry went on to say, Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treasonous in my
opinion. Of course people can be put to death if convicted of treason. So here we have a guy running for President who just hinted at dragging the Federal Reserve Chairman down
to Texas to be executed. Economist Nouriel Roubini tweeted about the comment saying, The Texan thug is making murder threats on the Fed Chairman. Looks like Rick Perry is really running for America's executioner-in-chief, and he's already there as the Governor who has killed more prisoners - at least one who was innocent - than any other Governor in history. Rick Perry apparently loves killing people as much as he loves threatening it.sigh.
And re: Murdoch:
The UK may have found the smoking gun in Rupert-gate. Former Murdoch reporter Clive Goodman wrote a letter back in 2007 that points to top executives having full knowledge of the phone hacking scandal and routinely talking about it in meetings with their staff. The letter names Andy Coulson who later took a job as Prime Minister David Camerons communications director as one of the executives with prior knowledge. They'll rob you with a sixgun or rob you with a pen, the old saying goes. Let's see if the white-collar criminals are held to the same account as blue-collars ones would be.
I dig a pony.
