Lou Dobbs: Riggs Bank, afraid to say it?
Did you see Lou Dobbs and a reporter last night talk about the fines on Riggs bank for money laundering? They did the whole story and didn't even mention Johnathan Bush, shrubs uncle and his relationship to the bank. Oh, they wanted to you could almost see it on their faces. Lou asked the reporter if there was any political ties and she danced around the subject like her job depended on it. Anyone else see it. Prescott, Johnathan, and Neil, Bush savings and loan.

1. Saw it...
and thought, WTF is up with this?
So I went to the Internet and found out the information that escaped Kitty Pilgrim in like, three seconds.
Do these people not have computers, or are they afraid they'll be killed if they actually put the truth on the air?
As far as I'm concerned, those are the only options.

3. It looked like they wanted to say it,
but they bit their tongues fast. I would love to know where up in the food chain the censorship comes from, and how the reporters are approached on the subject, and what are the threats of punishments, besides being fired. Think the BFEE has a goon squad that handles the media???

2. Dobbs and Pilgrim knew...neither had the balls to say
It was clear Dobbs knew, and was setting Pilgrim up. And then didn't follow through.

that they would get the lump out of their throat, but ALAS. I guess that's for another day.
