The Donnybrook Was Mentioned On CNN's Inside Politics Back In June of 2005...
This is a surprise...
I was just tooling around the internets, and came across a CNN Inside Politics transcript from June 23, 2005 in which one of their intrepid "blog reporters" mentioned The Donnybrook and a piece I wrote on June 22nd about a pre-incarceration Duke Cunningham claiming that those who died on 9/11 would've supported a Constitutional amendment banning flag burning.
From the transcript:
ABBI TATTON, CNN PRODUCER: One of the politicians that the blogs on the left and the right are also focusing on, on this issue, is the main sponsor of this proposal. That's Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a congressman from California.I'm guessing that last line is actually a typo in the transcript, but whatever.
His comments yesterday have a lot of people linking to him. "Ask the men and women who stood on top of the Trade Center. Ask them, and they will tell you, 'Pass this amendment.'"
Now, people are saying that's just inappropriate. What is he, psychic? And that's what you get over here at the most twisted name in news -- not the trusted -- this is newswriter.us. And they're saying if, indeed, this congressman can channel the dead, why isn't he asking them something more important than this silly amendment, the most silly constitutional amendment ever proposed?
JACKI SCHECHNER, CNN BLOG REPORTER: Brian Anderson at phillybri.blogspot.com, not surprised at the GOP talking point that 9/11 changed everything coming up once again. And then also pointing out that Randy Cunningham's name coming up once again in the blogosphere.
After all, any press is good press. Right?
