I would think that Rachel Maddow was madder than a bat, except Elena and I have been talking about this same theory for over a year. Nothing that happened with Shirley Sherrod was random. It was all part of political theater being played out to accomplish a political goal.
Maddow gets it. Here is her analysis:

Rachel goes through what has happened this week, step by step. This video was from her show on Tuesday.
Pay careful attention to the dates in the video. Notice that Fox News was all over the story, vilifying Sherrod for her racism. By Wednesday, everyone else was wrong except Fox News.
This video was recorded on Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Maddow links up several stories that link ACORN, Sherrod, NAACP, and other ‘scandals.’ All go back to www.biggovernment.com. That would be Andrew Breitbart’s less than reputable website.

Maddow continues to ask, whose next? Whose next in the Fox/Breitbart sites? We all know what the object is.
Sherrod’s father was killed by a white farmer:

This whole matter was sickening and disgusting.
The command, “Ready, Fire, Aim” comes to mind when you go through this whole mess. Using my trusty retrospectoscope, although Brietbart or someone would have carefully editied it out, it is tood bad that Ms. Sherrod did say something like, “Twenty-five years ago, I was…” I wonder if she will return to USDA.
I a pologize for taking up so much electronic space, but I could not resist posting a bunch of crow receipes from Crow Busters…8-)

Below are some recipes that have been donated by fellow members. Feel free to try these or to experiment with your own creation. There is no reason why any recipe for dove, quail or grouse to be found in a wild game cookbook would not work just as well. Then you can decide whether to tell your guests what went into the recipe before or after they have finished. Bon Appetite!!
Pre-Cooking Preparation
submitted by Robert B.
Preparation
You can use this method with crows, coots, diver ducks and just about any fowl that may have a strong flavor. Use as many breasts as you decide to grill and soak them from 2 hours to overnight in salt water then thoroughly rinse and dry the breasts. Then use your favorite brand of Italian dressing and put enough to coat the bottom of a container you can put a lid on and put a layer of breasts, a layer of dressing, and keep layering till all the breasts are in the container. Finally, top off with dressing and put in fridge over night. The next day they will be tender and tasty.

Simmer slowly, adding water as it evaporates. In about 3 hours you will see that the meat is soft enough to cut with a fork. Take the meat out and place on heated platter or dish to keep warm.

“So good you’ll want to slap your mother-in-law”
Recipe
submitted by Jim Anderson
Ingredients
16 pieces of crow breast meat (no bones) (8 crows)
16 pieces of jalapeno peppers (or banana peppers)
16 strips of bacon
1 1/2 cups of Teriyaki sauce
Preparation
Place breast meat in a covered bowl with the Teriyaki sauce over night.
Cook the breasts in boiling water for about five minutes. Cut up fresh
jalapeno peppers into circles (or use the store bought kind that come in
jars). Place one jalapeno pepper in the center of each breast and wrap with
bacon. Secure the bacon with a round toothpick. Cook on the grill until
bacon is crisp (not burned). Flip the breasts constantly to avoid the fat
catching on fire. Use banana peppers for people that don’t like their food
quite so hot.

Just one more–I can’t resist…
“Sing a song of sixpence, a pocketful of rye, four and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing. Now wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before a king? The king was in his counting house counting out his money; the queen was in the parlor eating bread and honey. The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes when along came a blackbird and it nipped off her nose.”

Need to add essence of a rat.
@PWC Taxpayer
Just when I thought there was some hope for you…
I am so tired of this worn out story. I really am. Clearly Taxpayer did not watch the full of video of Mrs. Sharrod. Unlike the ex FEMA director who worked with horses before being appointed to the VERY high level and important position, this woman had been in the USDA for decades. She clearly helped alot of people and had put her “time” in, leave the woman alone for G-ds sake! Hasn’t she been vililfed enough already?
Thanks for the recipes, George. I often need an eating crow recipe. It tastes so nasty raw.
@Moon-howler
Have often found myself in the same place over the last 77 years–lots of opportunities have come my way. In real life have never eaten crow, but have had pigeon pie–pretty good.
@Elena
You wouldn’t want to confuse Taxpayer with facts would you?
The first fox news involvement I can prove other than on Maddow’s tapes which no one bothered to check is from Rick at 5:27 on July 19th which is a Monday.
