September 15, 2005 --  Pam Falk is her name.  The screen banner identified her as a "foreign affairs expert."  She sat there next to the CBS early morning anchorette, blonde boobshell Melissa McDermott, and expressed wide eyed, rock-groupie admiration for the world's present number one  fool (and possibly criminal), Kofi Annan.  

The segment, which ran prior to four in the morning, was a wonderful example of the reason for the rise of conservative-run media in America.  George Bush speaks to the U.N., telling that nest of dictators, criminals and idiots that, in a world being bloodied by Islamic thugs, they soil their own reputations by making a nation of Arab slave sellers and Christian butchers, the Sudan, head of the Human Rights Council.  The act, our president obviously believes, is either clear evidence of their contempt for their own charter, or conclusive proof of their blaring stupidity. McDermott the anchor and Falk the foreign affairs expert interpret this as a new, milder George W. Bush, finally recognizing the need to be part of a world commune?  G.W. the cowboy is showing signs of exiting stage right?  Enter G.W. the storm-humbled conservative, stage left?  

The girls had footage of Kofi the Secretary General (a title which is similar to the old Soviet Union's General Secretary) standing there like an owl, mouthing platitudes of world governance.  His son was not in the frame.  He was probably off working on his investment portfolio -- enriched by kickbacks he received while participating in the redistribution of U.N. Oil for Food funds to Saddam Hussein's personal coffers.  This famous U.N. scam is now widely recognized as one of the biggest financial frauds in the history of the planet.  The girls didn't mention any of this while drooling over the idiot who was in charge during this ripoff.  

All they noticed was the new George Bush who, frankly, isn't there.  Mr. Bush, in truth is today just what he said he was on the campaign trail during his run for his first term in the White House.  Clearly, McDermott and Falk either have been in an accident which left their brains in an inoperative condition, or are leftist ideologues to such a degree that truth is not relevant.  The greater needs of the progressive path to social justice (code for a socialist utopia) take precedence on the CBS morning news.  No truth which hinders that goal is a truth and no lie which furthers that goal is a lie.

Well, what else would you expect of the network whose morning's coverage of the Roberts Supreme Court hearings consisted of on-camera comments by liberals Schumer (D-NY), Biden (D-Pyongyang) and (I was distracted, but was it) Pelosi (D-Hell)?
