I guess you didn't get the memo.
Can't reference any of these no matter how true:
Washington Times: it's owned by Rev Moon.
Ollie North: He's a felon
Rush Limbaugh: Was a drug addict
Bill O'Reilly: They just don't like him
NY Post: They listed the wrong Vice-Pres pick for
Kerry
Michael Savage: hehehe just kidding he really is a
nut!
Dick Morris: Talks too much to hookers
Fox News: All lies, lies, lies.
