"Earlier, I had an opportunity to meet with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as he made his way through Radio Row. Unfortunately, the noise will make it hard to hear the soft-spoken Kentuckian’s answers to my questions, and the noise wasn’t all inadvertent, either. A CBS reporter got into an argument with a member of McConnell’s security team about horning in on my interview, and you can hear the result in the first couple of minutes:...

Blocking the Path to 9/11

Blocking the Path to 9/11

Now the imbroglio has been revived for a direct-to-video documentary called
"Blocking 'The Path to 9/11'," produced by right-wing rabble-rouser David Bossie
and directed by former radio host John Ziegler. On its surface, the new video is
a fascinating piece of behind-the-scenes investigative work. But, like the
original telefilm and its quashing by the Clinton camp, it is not without its
own political intrigue. Indeed, "Blocking 'The Path to 9/11'" raises even more
questions and adds its own set of disconnected dots to this broadcasting
dilemma.The new documentary, currently available for sale on its website, will soon be offered at
other locations, with plans also calling for select theatrical screenings in
Southern California to coincide with the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11
attacks next month. Last week, the film’s worldwide premiere at the Skirball
Cultural Center in Los Angeles...." from Politico.com

Louisville Housing probe by State Auditor

Louisville Housing probe continues

"By our count, there are now four official investigations or reviews into the department's finances and/or its management:

The annual audit of Metro government by Strothman & Co.

A review by city auditor Mike Norman, ordered by Mayor Jerry Abramson.

An investigation by the Louisville Police Department's Public Integrity Unit to determine the merit of allegations made about the department.

And the state auditor's office, which will launch its independent study on Monday.

(A fifth, HUD's annual audit, starts in September.)

In announcing her office's foray into this investigatory mosh pit, which is unprecedented in recent city history, state Auditor Crit Luallen cited headlines about the department, but also pointed to continuing concerns raised in department audits since 2004.

City officials say they welcome scrutiny. They promise full cooperation. They tout transparency. They say they want best practices in place....." A multi probe of Louisville Housing from the Courier-Journal

Obama’s Scandal is Bigger than Edwards’

Obama’s Scandal is Bigger than Edwards’
From Accuracy in Media author Cliff Kincaid:

"Obama’s communist connection, which he failed to disclose in his 1995 book,
Dreams From My Father, by referring to Davis only as “Frank” and ignoring his
communist affiliation, is a far more serious scandal than an Edwards “love
child"

Controversy over the Obama-Davis relationship is growing, at least in the
conservative-oriented media. Rush Limbaugh, who last Thursday commented
on our exposure of the dishonest Associated Press story about Davis, put a link
to the
AIM column on this matter on his website.
Also heavily drawing on our
material, Investor’s Business Daily published an August 5
editorial, “Young Obama’s Red Mentor.” The paper noted that the “cryptic
references” in Obama’s book to this communist mentor “were―and still
are―designed to protect Obama’s background from the scrutiny it deserves.”..."Obama's Scandal

Multi- Millionaire Bruce Lunsford

Disguise: Lunsford Campaign Themes Don't Square With Persona from the Paducah Sun

"The true comprehensive plan for energy independence is the one McConnell
champions day after day in the Senate chamber. It includes, like Lunsford's
plan, clean-coal technology, lifting the ban on developing vast shale oil
deposits and alternative/renewable forms of energy. But unlike Lunsford,
McConnell also calls for increasing nuclear power, the cleanest, most economical source of energy.

And he calls for lifting the ban on offshore drilling and
tapping ANWR's vast reserves of recoverable oil.
Unfortunately, Majority Leader Harry Reid thwarts every serious attempt to decrease American dependence on foreign oil. Increasing domestic supply is anathema to Democrats in Congress, who are under the thumb of the environmental lobby. Multi-millionaire Bruce is disguised as a regular Joe. He's apparently intimidated by Kentucky's two largest newspapers, with their reliably liberal editorial pages, hoping they won't pick on him for being rich as long as he rails against others in his tax bracket. It's an unbecoming role for Lunsford. ...." Disguise Lunsford

Senator Mitch McConnell in Danville KY

"Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell said his energy plan would cut oil imports into
the United States in half over time.
The four-term senator promoted his
proposal to encourage more energy production and more conservation in a speech
to the Danville Rotary Club on Friday.
Energy issues have been at the
forefront of McConnell’s race against Democratic challenger Bruce Lunsford, a
Louisville businessman.
Noting the November election, McConnell said Kentucky
would lose considerable influence in Washington if he were replaced by someone
with no seniority in the Senate"..... Senator Mitch McConnell in Danville KY
