Threads...grasping for threads

I believe the appropriate response from the Obama camp should be...Pathetic... is that all you've got..? why not run the Reverand Write video clip again and see if you can get some more mileage out of it.

@jamesslow

I beleive it was "Festering puss filled blot on western civilization" (with apologies to PG Wodehouse)

speaking of that 21%

James E Cayne of Bear Sterns had to sell all his stock and was left with a paltry $61 Million. Poor guy - down to his last 61 mill and doesn't know what to do. That my friends is what is wrong with America - Those at the top will never suffer the fate of the unwashed masses.

Desperation (act of)

For some one who knew the rules going in ...anyway more bad news for Hillary...this poll say she is now behind in Penn

http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2008/04/obama-takes-lead-in-pennsylvania.html

It will be a war of attrition until she finally sees the handwriting on the wall.

BTW I live in Florida and did not vote because, I knew it would not count

Oh Please let it Be Condi

All we would need is a clip of her in front of the 911 commision....and the memo said Bin-Ladin determined to strike in the US...followed by a shot of the oil supertanker named after her

The Professional demeanor

I didn't read all the posts...but someone needs to comment on the unprofessional appearance of this guy Penn. It is easy to imagine why he did not command any respect in the Clinton camp. I saw a clip of him on MSNBC and he looked like he had been dressed by Goodwill and had his hair styled by Acme Lawn Service wielding weedwhackers. Decidedly weasle like appearance.

Family Values

This is why the US is diminshied in the eyes of the world- no better than some third rate dictatorship. They need to turn of the Jack Bauer "24" mentality..these are people they are torturing not cartoon characters. Where oh where is the MSM on this one. If it occured in _________ (pick a country) or involved Britney Spears they would be all over it

The real crime

The real crime is that this scandal was buried as an AP release occupying a 1/4 column on the bottom of the 12th page of the paper next to a full page ad.(Orlando Sentinel) In the Watergate era this would have been a 2 inch headline above the fold on the front page. Torture what torture? OK by me! Jack Bauer thinks its OK. Where is the outrage?

Original article: Worst. Debate. Ever?

Shame

SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! Shame on you ABC MSM et al. That was it for me ..and then I see on the front page of the NYT an article discussing it like it was a real debate. This country is getting what it deserves

Bitter

I'm very "bitter" about this whole mess I am going to grab my gun, flag and bible ,lock myself in a closet , I'm undecided and I live in Florida. Could be the next headline MSM please note. I desperately want to be a talking point

Horror show

I strongly reccomend any one who has not experienced it to tune into one of his "sermons" If it does not cause your jaw to hit the floor you are deaf. It is no more than a thinly vieled neocon pep rally -heavy on politics and brimstone real light on any other semblance of "Christian" values. It is truly frightning to look at the shots of the audience nodding in agreement with that ignorant fat fuck. If you ever wondered where that 29% are hanging out - look no further

I've got some political capital and I'm going to spend it!

I can't wait

I hope he has the balls to denounce that smarmy faced weasle. I'm sure the line of questioning will be the "ABC talking points" Chris better wear a Flag pin and bring his last bowling score.

@john762 You know on second thought

I think you might be right If he's cool they will spin it - if he tells them to shove it they will spin it ...remember how Wallace got Bubba's goat and got him to wag that damn finger.

@ hazmaq

You are so right. What a full of shit windbag who has his nose up Hillary's ass. I am so sick of hearing " why hasn't Barack closed the deal" WTF why hasn't the presumptive candidate who had all the money and all the support "closed the deal" I am so sick of the MSM Spin'o' Rama I just can't watch any more Call me in November.

AS Jon Stewart said...

I paraphrase "I want sombody elite running my country, someone who speaks 16 languges and knows quantum physics. We tried a average idiot and that didn't work."

Monday, April 28, 2008 08:12 AM

I am so over it

Endless "debates" "In depth analysis" "mud slinging posts" "Video bloopers for the news cycle" ____________ fill in the blank "redundent MSM Bullshit" Someone send me an email when they decide.

Original article: Quote of the day

Don't Kid yourself Its all about the money

I was watching Keith Olbermann on Bill Moyer and even he said ...the parent company is GE who are tied up in defence and Bushco ...but as long as I am making money for them I can say what I want. People will push what sells no more no less. Why should any self respecting news organization care about ratings? Money ...thats why you have a segment on Miley Cirus and her bare back on the nightly news... WTF kind of BS is that.. it belongs on the E channel
