MEDIA SHOWDOWN The White House communications director attacks Fox News while appearing on CNN.
"The Obama administration is attacking Fox because you're exposing its agenda to redistribute wealth." Mark Stevens Ridgewood, NJ
"They could be trying to divert attention away from their health care problems, their military problems, their economic problems, their unemployment problems..." Steve Graham Brandon, MS
"Fox News doesn't need to defend its reporting to the White House whinery. The White House seems to believe if you're not for them, you must be against them." Neil Hoppe Franklin, NC
"If you are a media target for the White House, you should be proud of your organization. This administration can't take criticism." Wayne Hofmann Mitchell, SD
"I think the White House complaints about Fox News are the best advertising around!" John Tolle Chico, CA
"President Obama expects objections to his policies to disappear. I guess the world looks different from the Oval Office." Tom Fear Youngstown, OH
"The White House is subtlety trying to pressure Fox News to back off. Don't fall for their guilting tactics." Bill Hemingway Sunriver, OR
"They are hoping if they attack you, fewer Americans will take what Fox News analysts say about health care seriously." Ruth Ryan St. Augustine, FL
"The folks don't believe what they're being told by the mainstream media, so they're choosing to watch FNC. This rankles the White House." Ron Stuart Exeter, RI
"The real reason the Obama administration dislikes Fox News is because you report the facts they would like to keep hidden." Bob Steup Middleburg, FL
NFL CONTROVERSY There is some opposition to radio talk show star Rush Limbaugh buying into an NFL franchise because of his provocative point of view.
"If I put my house on the market, I am required by law to sell to whoever meets the offer, even if it's the racist Rev. Wright. It's the law." Barry Hull Spartanburg, SC
"If this country has become so racially sensitive that someone would be denied the right to a business investment because he once dared to opine about a black quarterback, God help us." Paul Walorski Columbus, IN
"Maybe if Rush Limbaugh bought them, the St. Louis Rams would win a game!" John Robison San Antonio, TX
"For the NFL to object to Mr. Limbaugh's interest in a team is un-American." Kevin Bass Phoenix, AZ
"Rush doesn't have the credentials for the NFL. Were he to be convicted of cruelty to animals or death by DUI or shooting himself in the leg, the NFL would welcome him with open arms." Joseph Quesada Schuylkill Haven, PA
"Rush Limbaugh must be insane. Anybody who would want a financial stake in the St. Louis Rams is out of their minds." Thom Sullivan Auckland, New Zealand
LOSING HIS COOL? Former Vice President Al Gore is questioned about reported mistakes in his global warming documentary. The organizers of his speech shut down the dissent by cutting the guy's mic.
"It's ironic Al Gore would speak about global warming in Madison when we've had the coldest summer on record. Temps were 10 degrees below during his visit." Ron Miller Madison, WI
"Al Gore can't handle the inconvenient truth." Glen Fullerton Rockdale, TX
"Al Gore has not answered one question in four years about global warming. He is ducking the debate, and he will be exposed as a fraud." Cameron Bird Austin, TX
"Methinks Al Gore doesn't care about the icy polar bear." Eric de Verteuil West Moorings, Trinidad
"Al Gore seems to be a big believer in free speech, as long as he is the one speaking." Steve Henshall Bohol, Philippines

"I know you don't like to blow your own horn, but you are a patriot!" Barry Maltese Huntington Station, NY
"What an honor! As a Marine, I met some medal of honor winners and they are the greatest men alive." Mark Adkins Benton, AR
"I was waiting for Kanye West to jump out on stage, grab the mic and say Juan Williams deserved the award more than you." Matthew Rathgeber Bel Air, MD
MISCELLANEOUS "My 'Patriots Welcome' doormat has arrived. I'll put it out for Halloween to repel left-wingers looking for a handout." Lynn Coleman Scottsdale, AZ
