I fail to see how Brummett is a whacko liberal as you claim. Give me an example.

I think he fits the left of center mold. And your point of his column being talking points for the Dem Candidates, makes my point. The Dem candidates we have here in AR are just left of center. Moderates.

Boo-yah! thanks for reading.

on another note. Did anyone notice that Bud Jackson was just on CNN following Roland Burris around when he was denied creds to be seated in the Senate?

ol’ Bud. Loves to stir shit up.

There are no liberals in Arkansas. “Liberal” here would be defined as “center” in the rest of the world.

In Arkansas:
“Liberal” = anyone to the left of Rush
“Center” = Rush
“Conservative” = Those people who protest against gays at soldier’s funerals.

BR549,

Sanders is a conseravtive. He makes no bones about it, nor does he hide that he is a Republican. Brummett isn’t a moderate he claims, and he isn’t objective either. Every election season his opinion columns serve as talking points for the Democratic candidates on the ballot.

The new tagline is okay as long as doesn’t take away space from the not Tina Sherman pictures.

I know you guys already said it but Brummett dominates “the Arkansas punditry” with “pragmatic moderation” – really? It is funny how liberals always have someone more liberal than themselves to compare themselves to proving they are in fact a moderate. I wonder what liberal Max compares himself to make this point.

Everyone seems to be missing the most important point to today’s “Stuff from Around Arkansas” update — the not Tina Sherman photo is back on top! I mean geez, every time I see that picture of not Tina Sherman I start to think there might really be something to this global warming stuff. Whew doggie, it’s gettin’ hot in here!

“Brantley and I dominate the Arkansas punditry, me in pragmatic moderation and Max in unyielding liberalism.”

Brummett claiming to be a moderate, as compared to Brantley, would be like John Wayne Gacy saying, “I’m really not that evil compared to Hitler.”

Of course. What was I thinking. I know that logic has no place around here.

Ok. Back playing Tetris on my Gameboy.

I’ll have no more of this talk, boys. I’ll have you know that the biggest, most terriblest hack in Arkansas media is ME, and I would kindly thank you not to lump me in with those characters.
