Monday Monday... lots of bad guys and hypocrisy sneaking into my media bubble.
Dick Durbin. Tom Daschle. Bruce Springsteen.
Argh.

This one snuck through my media bubble this morning via the radio. I figgered they'd only be talking about Super Bowl commercials when Dick Durbin spewed forth.

QOTD
"I believe Tom Daschle's one of the most honest people I've ever known or worked with in public life."
- Dick Durbin, IL senator (source: AP article)
I would evaluate this statement as 1) possibly true, and 2) that doesn't make it a compliment given the company that Dick Durbin keeps in the Senate.

Durbin and Daschle are the archetypes of privilege and entitlement in the US Senate.
Look at this one too: blogs.wsj.com/health/2009/02/02/tom-daschle-on-taxes-i-am-deeply-embarassed-and-disappointed/
In just a couple years since leaving the Senate, Daschle has made $5 million lobbying and speaking. Argh again.

QOTD2

"We just dropped the ball on it. It was a mistake. Our batting average is usually very good, but we missed that one. Fans will call you on that stuff, as it should be."

- Bruce Springsteen on signing a record deal with Walmart, source: www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7013921520

That's really a touching apology from Mr. ultra-cool, "The Boss".
Just curious though... ya think he'll be returning any of Walmart's dirty money any time soon.
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Reminds me of the all-time Larry Lujack quote.

QOTD3
"I'm ashamed to be here... but not ashamed enough to leave.
I'll take the money, thank you."
- Larry Lujack on working at crappy top 40 WLS back in the day
At least its nice and sunny out, eh.
yow, bill
