MDE RETURNS TO THE STAR TRIBUNE’S BLOGHOUSE

By Michael B. Brodkorb | August 12, 2007

"And on the right, bloggers, such as Michael Brodkorb at Minnesota Democrats Exposed (2) who had a string of 'Minnesota Democrats Politicize' posts, were trying to spark outrage against the DFL à la the Wellstone memorial service. Brodkorb even channeled his inner psychic to read the mind of Rep. Melissa Hortman. Hortman told the Denver Post that 'you wonder if this bridge was built to withstand the massive heat we have had this summer.' In Brodkorb's partisan translator, that meant she was claiming that global warming brought down the bridge. There's blogging, and there's fiction writing — you be the judge." Source: Star Tribune, August 11, 2007

Ahh, one of my favorite critics is at it again. What Mr. O'brien fails to mention is that liberals and conservatives read Hortman's comment and asked if she was making a connection between global warming and the 35-W bridge collapse.

Click here for more details on Hortman's comment.

    Like every other theory advanced by liberals, global warming is also falling down… newly release NASA temperature data shows that 1998 wasn’t the hottest year on record after all… and the current “warming trend” is now no more dramatic than any other in history.

    “1934 is now the hottest, and 3 others from the 1930′s are in the top 10. Furthermore, only 3 (not 9) took place since 1995 (1998, 1999, and 2006). The years 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 are now below the year 1900 and no longer even in the top 20.”

    I anticipate we’ll be hearing about global cooling (again), soon.

    Who said this on the House floor..”Transit should not be judged by it ability to relieve congestion”?

    Don’t worry about two-bit “journalists” like O’Brien. He’d love to have his little column read by as many people who check this blog on a daily basis.

    Stay vigilant, MDE.

    I made a trip to Duluth this weekend…channel surfing the radio both ways. Duluth public radio was holding an Algore lovefest on the way up (100.5 FM). Coming back tonight, a Twin Cities MPR station (I think..91 something) was doing the same thing.

    Using the DFL thought process, wouldn’t our money be better spent repairing bridges then funding pagen earth worshiping stations that MPR runs?

    To add to my number 4…..Algore said that the reason Venus is hotter then earth is due to carbon in Venus’ atmosphere. He said it had nothing to do with it being closer to the sun.

  6. Chet Says:

    Algore knows that about Venus because that’s where he lives.

    I don’t know pd, that quote — nor any form of it — doesn’t exist anywhere on the internet. That doesn’t mean nobody said it… but it increases the likelihood that nobody did.

    Chestnut, Chestnut, Chestnut… Why would that stop anyone on MDE from using a quote just because no one ever said it. Isn’t that the whole topic of this thread?

    If your a GOP/Conservative blogger like MIKE you have to be 1) A pretty good reporter and 2) a small businessman/entrepreneur in order to survive! If your a Liberal/DFL HACK like TIM O’BRIEN, all you have to do to pick up a paycheck twice a month is to facilitate the smearing of Republicans ! Keep up the good (and TOUGH) work MIKE !

    The good news is that survival of the fittest works in a capatilistic society. The likes of O’brien and Katie Parry won’t have jobs long if they only kiss the dems’ butts. They are so predictable I could write their propaganda.
