Today's news the Obama-media won't cover: turns out the laughable gift of DVDs to the British Prime Minister was even more laughable than we thought. From the UK Telegraph:
"While not exactly a film buff, Gordon Brown was touched when Barack Obama gave him a set of 25 classic American movies – including Psycho, starring Anthony Perkins on his recent visit to Washington.
Alas, when the PM settled down to begin watching them the other night, he found there was a problem.
The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words "wrong region" came up on his screen. Although he mournfully had to put the popcorn away, he is unlikely to jeopardise the special relationship – or "special partnership", as we are now supposed to call it – by registering a complaint"
This blunder would be headline news in the Swamp if President Teleprompter was a Republican.

More news the Swamp will censor: President Teleprompter's Treasury Secretary, tax-cheat-Tim Geithner, has been caught lying about when he knew of the AIG bonuses.
"Can he get anything straight? TurboTax failed him. So, apparently, did Outlook calendar.
Hapless Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner claims he didn’t find out about the AIG bonus issue until March 10. This was contradicted by AIG president Edward Liddy’s testimony before Congress earlier this week. Liddy was right. Geithner was wrong. And it’s all on videotape. DealBlog this morning referenced a House hearing on March 3 in which Geithner was directly questioned about the specific bonuses, a full week before Geithner claims he was made aware of the impending controversy. C-SPAN archives has the clip (also now on YouTube)" (from michellemalkin.com, which has plenty of links to the testimony)
