More like, the unvarnished state truth

Sen. Tom Harkin praising liberal radio host Ed Schultz on Schultz's show this past Friday --

I gotta tell ya, Ed, a lot of us have talked around here and we just say thank God for Ed Schultz. I mean that sincerely. He's getting the truth out to the American people, the unvarnished state, straight truth of what's going on around here and we're grateful for that.

And we're really, really stateful, uh, grateful for that, Ed.

ABC News: Hasan sought contact with al Qaeda, according to two US officials

Bombshell revelation today I learned while listening to Laura Ingraham, as reported by ABC News. But not only was the suspect in Fort Hood massacre trying to make contact with the terrorist network --

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.

A story that makes me more dumbfounded by the day.
