Chuckle of the Day
From this L.A. Times story:
Fearing a conservative takeover of the nation’s taxpayer-supported radio and TV stations, congressional Democrats on Friday asked the chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to delay the selection of a new chief executive who would oversee the system.
In a two-page letter, Rep. Diane E. Watson (D-Los Angeles) and 19 other House Democrats urged Kenneth Y. Tomlinson to delay next week’s selection of a new president for CPB, saying the reported front-runner for the job, former Republican National Committee Co-Chair Patricia de Stacy Harrison, should not be under consideration.
“Under no circumstance should the president of the CPB be a former chair of a political party, be it Republican or Democrat,” said the lawmakers. “Our public media are not ideological pawns for political parties, and the CPB president must not be a partisan activist.”
She had to write it down in a letter because whenever she said it out loud, she couldn’t stop laughing — just like you’re laughing right now.
““Our public media are not ideological pawns for political parties, and the CPB president must not be a partisan activist.””
I think they belong to ADM, supermarkets to the world.
