    Just make sure you get it published by a large media conglomerate who also owns a cable news network that seems to possess the opposite views of your book. Then get into a public "spat" with said network, thus getting plenty of free publicity, sending sales through the roof and making you a hero amongst your ideological cohorts!

    Are you familiar with a lot of his stuff??

    Ah forget it, it probably appeals to you like Rush or O'Reilly does to Ian McCracken.

    You obviously feel strongly about this. It should be child's play for you to at least come up with an example of Palast's alleged irrationality, shouldn't it?

    I am familiar with what I've seen off his website, heard in various interviews, and so on.
    I'm familiar with the fact that the BBC thinks enough of him to put him on Newsnight - for all the BBC's problems, it's still a better news organization, IMO, (full disclosure: I worked there as an intern for a bit) than anything we've got here.

    And I didn't say I believed everything he writes chapter and verse, anyway. I brought him into this thread because people are tending to go after Michael Moore instead of dealing with the issues he's bringing up; fair enough - Palast has been touching on the same things for months now, and I prefer Palast to Moore. I'd like to see your evidence for pronouncing him totally uncredible, outside of your antipathy towards his slant.

    Bush is the the smartest president of the US ever, keep your eyes open like now that's perfect and you can do better, maybe in few years you can vote for you new californian governor: Shwarzie...

    So funny,...
    but so, so sad...

    tick tock tick tock...





    don't hold your breath; Palast's analysis is remarkably on point...you won't find Dante or anyone else here coming up with much, if anything, to discredit him and/or what he's said...
