MSNBC’s Live with Dan Abrams special week long series, “Bush League Justice” has been extended. It continued yesterday with a bonus installment covering John Tanner’s resignation as voting chief in the DoJ Civil Rights division, and his shuffle over to a different position within the same Civil Rights department. The video of the segment is posted at right.
Abrams was outraged at the lateral move for Tanner, and his attempted re-writing of the history of his shameful record, in his “farewell email” to colleagues. Guests David Becker, a former DoJ Civil Rights Division attorney, now of People for the American Way (PFAW) and Washington Post’s Dana Milbank, both concurred that Tanner’s comments, as video-taped, and originally reported by The BRAD BLOG were instrumentally in his “demise”.
The extension to the investigative series shores up Abrams’ promise which concluded last week’s “final” episode…
Abrams once again showed a clip from our video, and this time with proper credit (Thank you!). He initially reported on the Tanner controversy, using a clip from our video, in the opening episode of the series last Monday.
As well, we heard yesterday from a producer on the show who told us they felt there would likely be much more to come in what may now be a now-continuing series. In the bargain, we were able to discuss a number of other BRAD BLOG stories which may be of interest to them in future shows. So, stay tuned…
(Hat-tip to Alan Breslauer for both the above video, and the original video-tape of Tanner which started it all, from last October’s National Latino Congreso here in Los Angeles, where he made his now-infamous remarks!)
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO ALL INVOLVED!
I can hardly wait…a little Mighty Thor…a little Diebold?, nah that’s asking too much.
I might have to forgive ol Danny boy if he keeps this up.
I’ll be there… Dodd you da Man !
I distinctly saw “bradblog.com” flash on MSNBC’s screen for 0.001 seconds. That’s better than 0.000 seconds I guess.
Great job on this Brad, and I don’t know how much he poached information from you, but Dan A seemed to do a good job demonstrating just how screwed up the DOJ has become regarding voting rights. His points were very understandable, imo.
Damn… I missed that… twice! 0.001 seconds! Brad, do you think I should go get my hair done!?!
Righty … Tony Blankley on Dan Abrams. Hmmm… I’ve seen those eyes before . . .
Lets not get into the degenerated condition where who says or knows something first is more important than the something.
Especially when the something can mean the destruction of civilization.
Sell the truth? Sell love? Sell kindness? Sell integrity? Sell the something? We are the blog and we don’t give a shit who yells “take cover!” first so long as we all take cover … do we?
F**k all that bullshit people, “Amurka” is so here and so now that “America” may never be brought back to life.
99 JoJ will do your hair … 😉
Hmmm…
In fact the more I look at my spiny friend … the more he resembles Tony Blankly . . .
Dredd asked –
Well, yeah, actually, we do. Why? Because when MSNBC points out an important story that BRAD BLOG reported, it means that folks may just get the message that they should take other BRAD BLOG stories seriously as well.
It’s just a cold, hard unfortunate fact that the MSM has the ability to grant “credibility”. That, to a source that’s either credible (as our is) or not, as many others are.
But if we are offered the blessing of the MSM, it becomes much easier to move all of the other stories that other MSM’ers haven’t stopped to notice yet.
That’s why attribution matters.

Roflmao. (Well, that may be an overstatement, but you get the idea)
