Snipped from a blogger's comment on: www.washingtonnote.com "I'm sure that you know this already, but Bob Schieffer, the moderator at the 2nd debate, is the brother of Tom Schieffer who was president of the Texas Rangers under Bush's ownership. Bob is the older brother and has always acted in the role of Tom's father. I knew them both many years ago. I think that it is only fair that Bob disclose his relationship to the President at the outset of! the next debate." (I think we need to broadcast this information, far and wide) Media Alert. Debate moderator has ties to Bush! Here is the phone number for the Commission of Presidential Debates who, I am assuming, was instrumental in choosing the moderators: contact the Commision on Presidential Debates at (202) 872-1020. I couldn't find a place to E-mail them on their Website. (I just now called them, left brief messages on both their regular line and 24-hour line...can also leave message if you finally hit "0" for Operator...no one is there, then it asks you to leave message. I briefly told them this scoop, and that they should have Schieffer announce his connections...and BETTER YET, a new Moderator should be chosen, even if it means delaying the Debate.) Amongst a few others, a good-Kerry-deed for the day! julieanna http://www.openthemics.com
