It sounds like you really held your own however. And I am so sorry to hear about Ron Silver and his illness. He is such a unique voice/presence in Hollywood and in the world of ideas. My prayers and thoughts are with him. I am sorry I missed your interview on AA. It sounds like you really held your own however. And I am so sorry to hear about Ron Silver and his illness.

And I suppose that they didn't bother following-up because it wasn't much of a story to begin with. The "vandal scandal" was a load of nonsense courtesy of then White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. Time Mag. reported what he spewed, and moved on, as so much of the mainstream media did during the horrific eight years of the George W. Bush administration. All and all, a time of relentlessly bad government and incredibly shoddy journalism. One wouldn't have been possible without the other. By comparison, salon.com has been providing something genuinely worthwhile since 1995. qrstuv,

The article I pointed to was run by Time magazine and it mentions the GAO as the source of the information. If you want to tell me that Salon "debunked" this, pray tell why didn't Time run any sort of follow-up? Time is not exactly known for being in cahoots with the eeevil Republicans. Steven Winters,

I was interested enough in what I heard that I was one of the 9 people who have searched out and viewed the C-Span interview on the c-span web site. Hartmann's treatment of you was incredibly "over the line", I immediately sat down and wrote my thoughts about it. If you didn't hear what happened in the 20 minutes after he hung up on you, you would have been even more outraged (but probably not surprised) I was one of the three people who actually heard that interview (purely by accident while testing a stream).

Too easy to be a cruel jerk on the Internet. Also, regarding the the Jewish Bolshies and the terrible disasters that flowed out of that, and maybe still do, first off, at least consider the "root causes". If revolutionary secular Eastern European Jews still enrage you, you might look at the trajectory and writings of right-wing Zionist secular Eastern European Jews such as Zev Jabotinsky, who had no use at all for Marxist delusions.
