Late, Late Show - "Snipers Wanted"

Mikul, there are some really good people over at Ars Technica, but there are also some real asses. That thread is in the Soapbox so there's plenty of fighting to be done there :)
I do get sick of the elitist, god-haters that often post there though. I mean, they blame everything on God, even though they claim not to believe in him. It's so smug and condescending that it just drives me nuts. I am not even certain of my religious convictions, but I absolutely cannot tolerate people crapping on other people's beliefs like that.
If you can put up with a few annoyances though, Ars can be a great place to fight with all sorts of people. There are some TFLers there too....

I used to think I would miss him when he left the Daily Show, but John Stewart kicks his ass all over the place.
 
I wonder if the US Secret Service is doing anything...

Probably not... After all - the SS is the Governments right hand and the Media is there little baby.
 
Time to put this one to bed. At least CBS apologized (they had a choice?). Can you imagine the stink if Jesse Jackson or Gore/Lieberman were pictured? Oh well, it's just a Republican.

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ CBS apologized Wednesday for a violent anti-George W. Bush message that flashed briefly on the screen during the "The Late Show with Craig Kilborn" last week. The phrase "Snipers wanted" was shown Friday across footage of Bush accepting his nomination as the Republican presidential candidate at the party"s Philadelphia convention. "This graphic, which was not accompanied by any remarks from Mr. Kilborn, should not have been included in the telecast and is not consistent with our broadcast standards," CBS said in a statement. The network called the display "an inappropriate and regrettable graphic," adding that it and program producer Worldwide Pants Inc. "deeply regret this incident." The company said it would take appropriate action. A Bush spokesman said the candidate accepted the apology "It"s unfortunate something like that has happened," Bush campaign spokesman Dan Bartlett said from Austin, Texas. "We accept their apology and look forward to seeing the results of their investigation." Worldwide Pants, David Letterman"s production company, also produces "Late Show with David Letterman," which airs immediately before Kilborn"s daily show. The phrase concerning Bush appeared on the screen during a segment of the show called "In the News," which features photos, video clips and Kilborn"s commentary on current events. Kilborn took over in March 1999 as host of "The Late Late Show," which debuted in 1995 as a talk show with host Tom Snyder. A message seeking comment from Kilborn was not immediately returned Wednesday.

ahahahahahahahahahaahahahahhaa!!!!
ABC News couldn't even get a comment out of their own guy. Maybe he's hiding under a rock somewhere, afraid that the snipers might want him instead. Cheeky lamer.
