A-Roid: "That's the biggest bunch of baloney I've ever heard"

February 17, 2009

Selena Roberts was one of the authors of the Sports Illustrated outing A-roid article. He wasn't exactly pleased. And being the upstanding man of integrity who kids can look up to, he said this to Peter Gammons during his come to Jesus 2-9-09 interview. (see link below)

A-ROID: Prior to Texas, I really had -- at that time in Seattle, I had never even heard of a player taking a substance, a steroid of any kind in my Seattle days. I mean, I know this lady from Sports Illustrated, Selena Roberts, is trying to throw things out there that in high school I tried steroids. I mean, that's the biggest bunch of baloney I've ever heard in my life.

What makes me upset is that Sports Illustrated pays this lady, Selena Roberts, to stalk me. This lady has been thrown out of my apartment in New York City. This lady has five days ago just been thrown out of the University of Miami by police for trespassing. And four days ago, she tried to break into my house where my girls are up there sleeping, and got cited by the Miami Beach police. I have the paper here.

This lady is coming out with all these allegations, all these lies, because she's writing an article for Sports Illustrated and she's coming out with a book in May. Really respectable journalists are following this lady off the cliff and following her lead. And that, to me, is unfortunate.

That my friends is worse than being a liar and a cheater. But he apologized so it's ok.

She is scheduled to release her book: "A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez" on April 14. What's he going to say about the sexual liaisons?

Lie of the day: "I don't take one penny from lobbyists."

Chatting up the chicks in Daytona Beach, Florida

Watch Obama whine about McCain and pay attention to his body language and intonation. Look at the delirious white lady next to the three black women who don't appear very happy or excited to be there.


He says he "doesn't take one dime from Washington lobbyists and special interests. They do not run my campaign." That is a lie that has been documented.

"Folks you can't make this stuff up." And he adds the: "It's silly season." Who is finding this season silly or funny?

And then the new standard: "When you hear John McCain talk about taking on the old boys' network in Washington - know this: on the McCain campaign that is a called a staff meeting."

Lie of the day: Mika says she's not an Obama supporter.

Morning Joe with John McCain

Mika claims she is not a Obama supporter when she has been saying it since the campaign started. A true measure of her (lack of) character. Ever watch how little she adds to the conversation and how she defers to Joe all the time? When I first tuned in -- I had never watched or been involved in politics before February this year -- I thought how did she get this job. She has nothing to add but a pretty face. Then I got my answer: Her father is Zbigniew Brezinski.


Courtesy of NY Times, BRIAN STELTER: (emphasis mine)

Ms. Brzezinski had brought up Mr. Obama's campaign ad highlighting Mr. McCain's statement that the "fundamentals of our economy are strong." Mr. McCain side-stepped the question of whether that ad was fair and said: "I still say to you – and I know you're a supporter of Senator Obama – if you would urge him to come and do town hall meetings with me, as I've asked him to do time after time, the whole tenor of the campaign would change."

Ms. Brzezinski bristled at the comment, saying: "Supporter of Senator Obama? I'm not sure I would characterize myself that way."

Well you have over and over and over and over - as well as mentioning the res of your family and who they're voting for.

Later, she repeated her objection and reminded viewers that her brother, Ian Brzezinski, is working on Mr. McCain's campaign.

"Take care of my brother," she said to Mr. McCain. "Say hi to Ian for me."

After Ms. Brzezinski defended herself and mentioned her brother, Mr. McCain said thanks and added, "that was a cheap shot." It was unclear whether he was referring to his remark about her, or Ms. Brzezinski's rebuttal.

The exchange prompted Mr. Scarborough to tell viewers that he's "just joking" when he calls Ms. Brzezinski an Obama supporter.

It's a joke that Joe wold even try to cover for her. Isn't he supposed to be Republican? Besides, he's said it over and over on - straight out - as had Mika. I'll have to look for an example or two for documentation sake. Anyone?
