Reporters Shooed Out As Security Blocks Cameras
Meg Whitman, the billionaire former EBay executive who is seeking the GOP nomination for governor of California, has fumbled again — this time by badly abusing the trust of some of the state’s top political reporters.
Here’s how Carla Marinucci, a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, described it:
Press shy GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman found herself challenged by reporters today after she announced an “open press” stop in Oakland, then refused to take questions the press — which was also barred from covering her tour of the port’s Union Pacific facility.
Reporters from Bay Area media outlets — TV, print and radio — turned up for Whitman’s advertised campaign stop in Oakland, where the former eBay CEO had announced a campaign stop and press event.
But once at the Union Pacific Railroad site, the assembled reporters were not allowed to view her tour — and herded into a holding room instead.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
