ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Professional Left Special! Last week WH Press Secretary Bob Gibbs told The Hill, "I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested. I mean, it’s crazy...They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality." Haha! As you can imagine there was a wee bit of blowback. Glenn Greenwald sums it up in Robert Gibbs attacks the fringe losers of the left : "You may think that the reason you're dissatisfied with the Obama administration is because of substantive objections to their policies: that they've done so little about crisis-level unemployment, foreclosures and widespread economic misery. Or because of the White House's apparently endless devotion to Wall Street. Or because the President has escalated a miserable, pointless and unwinnable war that is entering its ninth year. Or because he has claimed the power to imprison people for life with no charges and to assassinate American citizens without due process, intensified the secrecy weapons and immunity instruments abused by his predecessor, and found all new ways of denying habeas corpus. Or because he granted full-scale legal immunity to those who committed serious crimes in the last administration. Or because he's failed to fulfill -- or affirmatively broken -- promises ranging from transparency to gay rights. But Robert Gibbs -- in one of the most petulant, self-pitying outbursts seen from a top political official in recent memory, half derived from a paranoid Richard Nixon rant and the other half from a Sean Hannity/Sarah Palin caricature of The Far Left -- is here to tell you that the real reason you're dissatisfied with the President is because you're a fringe, ideological, Leftist extremist ingrate who needs drug counseling:" Oh DO read on! And check out all the embedded links while you're there! Another Professional Leftist Jane Hamsher has a video Glenn Greenwald, Dylan Ratigan & Me on the “Professional Left” at FireDogLake.com. And in a item by Sam Stein at Huff Po Gibbs Stands By His 'Professional Left' Critique, Expects Liberals To Vote In 2010 worthy of Harry Shearer's Le Show "Apologies of the Week" Gibbs gives his non-apology apology: Does he stand by the comments? "Yes," he replied....He had said what he said in a bout of frustration. "There are many time (sic) when I read the transcripts... that I could have said things slightly differently. I watch lot of cable TV and you don't have to watch long to get frustrated by some of what's said." Now we go to Professional Left filmmaker Michael Moore on Professional Left teevee pundit Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" show for Michael Moore suggests White House spokesman smoking ‘really heavy stuff’: "I've never heard the left referred to with the word 'professional'. It implies that we're organized....When Mr. Gibbs is worried about what people on the left are smoking, from my experience the person in the room who's most paranoid about who's smoking what is usually the person smoking the really heavy stuff." Watch it HERE! (h/t crooksandliars.com video cafe). Oh the humanity! The Mid-terms! Lastly we go to Raw Story for Alan Grayson: Obama’s ‘Bozo the Spokesman’ should be fired with VIDEO! Priceless! Mother Jones released their cover story BP's Deep Secrets on line BEFORE the print version was released, they deemed this information that important. Start with The BP Cover-Up: BP and the government say the spill is fast disappearing—but dramatic new science reveals that its worst effects may be yet to come - By Julia Whitty. (Related: Ring of Fire's PAP with GREG PALAST BP’s OTHER Spill and SEDER with DAHR JAMAIL The Human Cost of the Gulf Oil Spill - Are taxpayers going to be footing the bill to clean up BP’s mess in the Gulf of Mexico?) How about some SEAFOOD! Chef Sues BP Over Damages to Restaurants Selling Gulf Seafood (Bloomberg). The Sunday Professional Right, however, will toe The Company Line with some Company Employees. First, Meet the David goes "Live from Afghanistan" with Gen. DAVID PETREUS. This Christiane convenes a so-called "Panel of Economic Experts" featuring ex-Goldman Sachs CEO & Fmr. New Jersey Gov. JON CORZINE. Best bet may be the Face the Bob's Mr.Ed Show with TIM KAINE & ED RENDELL taking on ED GILLESPIE & ED ROLLINS (a horse is a horse of course of course...) followed by more of the Professional Right bobbleheads. State of Candy reels in CHRIS VAN HOLLEN to battle wits with KEVIN MCCARTHY plus a Climatologist and a NASA Scientist! JACK REED goes to the Dark Side (Fake Snooze) to tell JOHN CORNYN who's gonna win more seats in November, then more Professional Right bobbleheads. Gripping. Really gripping. THAT SAID, check out the "Professional Left" BTV Alerts and our regular "Professional Left" items like AntiWar Radio interviews with PHILLIP GERALDI on a new "unintentionally hilarious report on global terrorism" and FCNL'S DAVID CULP on START Treaty negotiations the GOPhers are holding up ratification (surprise) when the last three nuke treaties passed with 90+ votes. Go help HERE. Peter B features Prof. Andrew Bacevich on the “Washington Rules” (go ahead and search that term - more on that later) and Bob Kincaid has an interview with TruthOut and BuzzFlash while Ring of Fire has a "Best Of" show plus Max too. Two other items of interest from the Professional Left: The Digital Surveillance State: Vast, Secret, and Dangerous AND Corn byproduct fructose literally fuels cancer cell growth, study finds, about High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), both nothing the Professional Right bobbleheads would dare discuss. For the record (yeah YOU Bob Gibbs) we at Brick TeeVee believe a President Dennis Kucinich would have made the "Professional Left" happy. Big time. We already got drug tested. And YOU, Mr.Gibbs? Enjoy your Sunday and the BLUE DOG Days of Summer!

HELP BRADLEY MANNING Julian Assange, wikileaks: Asked about Mr. Manning, Mr. Assange said: "There is no allegation as far as we can determine" that the documents posted on WikiLeaks Sunday are "connected to Bradley Manning." He said WikiLeaks has nonetheless "committed funds" to Pfc. Manning's legal defense, offering his military-appointed legal team money in case it wants to hire civilian counsel. (WSJ)

Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

    Guest Post: Monopoly Money & the International Banking Cartel by Damon Vrabel - The Federal Reserve has been at the top of the news for a long time and it’s getting a lot of attention now as it appears the next down cycle in the depression may be upon us. So what’s the real reason the world listens so intently to an Ivy League bureaucrat like Bernanke? Of course, it has nothing to do with him. It’s who he is accountable to–the international banking cartel. Some Max viewers have asked me for specifics on this cartel and if it really exists. Here is the answer to those questions and a discussion about how the cartel has power over the entire economy, everything in “the market,” very much a non-free market.

Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi discusses the State Department’s unintentionally hilarious report on global terrorism, the government’s steadfast refusal to see the underlying grievances that motivate terrorist actions, how Congressional Resolution 1553 defers Iran war-making decisions to Israel and how countries designated “state sponsors of terrorism” are placed on the State Department’s “ignore” list.

David has 15 years experience on nuclear arms control and disarmament legislation.

He is one of six registered lobbyists on nuclear disarmament on Capitol Hill. LISTEN David Culp (mp3) 20:56
