DEL.ICIO.USThe cost of criticism
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My AJC colleague Ben Smith just called from WAGA headquarters, where he’d been nosing into ad buys for the fall campaigns. Still no sign of Jim Martin, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate.
Anyway, Smith was able to put a price on that single, 30-second ad that state Rep. Rob Teilhet (D-Smyrna) has purchased to chide state School Superintendent Kathy Cox in the middle of her appearance tonight on Fox’s “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?”
Click here for the original post with a Youtube version of the ad.
Meeting Jeff Foxworthy: Priceless. The cost of a video raspberry: $2,550. No doubt they come cheaper when purchased in bulk.

Our RHINO Senator Saxby Special Interest, skipped the speaches of Palin & McCain. He is one of those me 1st, country 2nd Congressmen that McCain was talking about. Saxby & his LOBBYIST son Bo are owned by out of state SPECIAL INTEREST.Where Saxby Chambliss gets his money::
Agri Business—-$1,368,000 Banks, Insurance, Real Estate—-$1,332,000 Lawyers & Individual Lobbyist——$641,000 Misc Business —-$679,000 The Agi Business & his LOBBYIST son got a gift of $20 billion waste from Saxby’s Farm Bill. The Banks, Real Estate & Lawyers just got a $2 TRILLION gift from the Bail Out the Banks act which Saxby & Johnny voted for. Not a bad return on your money. Term Limits Here, Term Limits Now, America 1St not SPECIAL INTEREST.. Saxby Special Interest has got to GO.

Republican = All fluff and no fact.
People kept attacking Obama for lack of substance but in his speech he layed out dozens of things he wants to do.
McCain didn’t do squat except said fluffy rainbow promises of bipartisianship…you know….that stuff you criticized Obama for?
Palin likes to shoot wolves from helicopters.

Forgive me for lying in my post. I hate Saxby. I wish he was never around. I will vote for him, though, because Martin is a far worser option. But for the record I and all my other names (GA Values, Tom GA Hunter) hate Saxby. I have been told by the doctor my family sent me to, that I am obsessed with Saxby. So be it.

YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
This guy is the biggest idiot, ever.
This is not a big deal at all. She’s on the show to raise money for the schools. What this guy is saying is like saying, “Oh, you can’t take a vacation! That will hurt your job and reputation.”
And you know what Rob Teilhet, Kathy won $1,000,000 on the show, and she’s giving it all to the schools! If you [Teilhet] won it, you would’ve probably kept it to yourself! Stay out of her business Teilhet! Let her do her job, and stay away!!! You lose!
