RSSChurchill wanting his Free Speech, But Giving None in Return (aka Do as I say …)
So it looks like Ward Churchill still wants to spout out his hate and lies in the spirit for “Free Speech”, but does not want to reciprocate. Gee Ward, what do you have to hide? If you are so proud of what you say, then why don’t you want ALL of us to hear it?
Two Reed students invited Churchill to the Southeast Portland campus, said Beth Sorensen, a Reed spokeswoman. His speech in Kaul Auditorium was not publicized and was limited to students, faculty, staff and guests.
Cameras and recording devices were banned “in the spirit of creating an open forum for debate and discussion,” according to a written statement released by the college.
More like in the spirit of squelching the lies and hate and the opportunity to report what Mr. Churchill has been passing off as free speech.
Michelle Malkin has some more insanity from Churchill including photos.
It seems that Ward Churchill is challenging what others are saying about him. Funny Ward, why is it that you don’t open your forums up to ALL?
On Saturday, Churchill said his words had been distorted by conservative commentators such as Bill O’Reilly of the Fox network. “No matter how you parse it, the word ‘justified’ does not appear,” Churchill said.

Turn Out the Lights the Party’s Over for MNF on ABC
In a bar somewhere in Texas I can hear Dandy Don Meridith crooning. Now I know I am getting old with this staple of my youth has forever been changed. After 35 of Monday Night Football on ABC after his season will be on ESPN.
Moving “Monday Night Football” to ESPN, which currently broadcasts Sunday night games, keeps the brand under The Walt Disney Co. umbrella. Disney owns both ESPN and ABC.
The deal will also bring the usual Sunday night football presently seen on ESPN to NBC.
ESPN, which has been broadcasting Sunday night games since 1998, will pay $1.1 billion a year over eight years for Monday night games, two sources familiar with the deals told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
NBC will broadcast Sunday night football for $600 million a year over six years, according to the sources. That annual figure is the same price ESPN paid for Sunday night football over the course of its current eight-year deal. NBC will also get the Super Bowl in 2009 and 2012.
So I guess it will not matter anymore if MNF does any pre-game lead ins like they did last year with T.O. and Nicollette Sheridan of ‘Desperate Housewives,’ Its CABLE.
One can only imagine what this means in the future for potential Super Bowls. This would be a football, sports fans greatest dream come true. A Super Bowl on ESPN. An entire network whose sole purpose is sports. Is America ready for a 24 hour Pre-Game Super Bowl Show?
Seems like Wizbang is on the right track with some of the financial motivations that may have driven this deal.

Henry Hyde Announces Retirement
After a long and brilliant career in the US House of Representatives, Henry Hyde of Illinois announces he will retire at the end of his term in 2006.
Among his many accomplishments including chairing the House International Relations Committee, serving on the House Judiciary Committee and more famously known for being the chief manager in the impeachment against Clinton.
His national profile rose again in 1998 when he was the chief manager of the House impeachment case against Clinton. Some Democrats thought the former Chicago defense attorney with a strong reputation for fairness was the best possible person the Democratic president could expect to see in the job.
But while the Senate was unwilling to remove Clinton from office, Hyde said Clinton should be held accountable for lying under oath.
However, Henry Hyde’s career was much more than that. Here’s a list of his many accomplishments during his 32 years of distinguished service to our country.
Thank you Representative Hyde, you will be missed.
