@bop - re: kangaroo painters
I've painted houses a lot. I'd hire a kangaroo to paint. Hell, I'd hire a team of kangaroos to paint a whole house. You can put a five-gallon bucket and a spray compressor right in their pouches and let 'em go. Although, very few like high ladders. Usually, you have to put up staging for them, an added expense. But it's worth it because they're painting demons, and they don't bitch about breaks and coffee.
They'll paint from dawn to dusk.

@Proximity Warping
I’m not the one criticizing the main news networks. My point is if Americans were truly as up-in-arms are you are about fluffy questions to politicians and a failure to advance the kind of agenda you want, we would expect the ratings for these bastions of complacency to be considerably lower.
Pwned.
Everything you wrote after "my point is" completely destroys everything else you have written on this topic.
Most Americans (you said) aren't upset about softball questions (you said, agreeing with Glenn about the nature of the questions) to conservative politicians. Further these "bastions of complacency" (your words, Glenn agrees and frequently writes on that topic) continue to get good ratings.
So how is the media "liberal" again?
You've been comprehensively cooked, my lad. Better still, with your own words!
Stick a fork in Proximity, he's done.

The problem is John King
John King is not a journalist, he's a syncophant. I was living overseas during the Clinton impeachment hearings and to hear King's smug, self-righteous voice and see his lip curled in a sneer every time he talked about Clinton made me want to punch my fist through the television set. Instead I cried watching these jackels and buzzards ripping gleefully at their kill. What a national disgrace. King has never tried to conceal his personal bias nor his simple-mindedness - I'm sure he's "real" popular in Texas or with anyone who likes Dick Cheney. It makes me sick that CNN has made him a "national correspondent" because he belongs in some backwater locker room covering local football.

MSNBC: The Best Cable News Netwrok
Just watched Russert, Obama adoring Brooks (who says Clinton is supported by the Bush White House!!!!!!), Susan Page and Chuck Todd discuss New Hampshire. What a bunch of maroons! They did their best to exculpate themselves, push Obama and downgrade Hillary. Edwards: no mention. He does not exist.
They are obviously miffed at the collective kick in the pants they got from HRC and Bill, they scratched around to find good things to say about the Black Prince, tried to deal with race and Obama and floundered around. The Repugs got all of 10 minutes. Hey: The Democrats are the serious candidates. To Clinton, Edwards and Obama (in strict alphabetical order)I say: go for it. It time to kick Repuglican ass. Whoever wins the primaries: you have my vote. CEO! We want a Democrat CEO in the White House. CEO!!!

Dirigo~ The country needs a honest defense attorney kangaroo.
She can hop around the White House with Yellow Dog and Fly-Man to paint the shack red, white, and pink. Then we'll be happy and their won't be a need to prop-up the thug-den of iniquity.
The fake 'stenographers can go finger paint each other. I'm due to cut some logs. First I need to hack saw a oak timber. Good night. Get good blessed rest. But thanks. My deep respect.
What a sweet batch of chocolate,
candy kisses to ever nice 'silly'
If we don't wake from our sleep,
pray the good lard gives sweets.
We can open our mouth and dream,
that it rains colored gum drops,
pinto beans, and blueberry yogurt.

@Kitt
Maverick must be right. If her were a Pinto he would have exploded by now from being rear ended so many times, as he was in 2004 when the Bush team trashed him and his kid. Either way, Maverick or Pinto, McCain is a jalopy.
That was in 2000.
King...As you know, some heinous and horrible things were said in the campaign eight years ago about you and about your daughter. Is that mailing in any way meant to tell people, here's the truth?
Mostly from this guy, Ted Sampley.

The attacks on John McCain can be traced largely to the work of one man, Ted Sampley, of Kinston, NC.

Poor Ol' CNN
Where I'm living we have CNN & The Beeb. Long ago we also had FOX but they were basically run out of town. The natives couldn't decide if it was Comedy Central or if these fools were scarily serious. Now, the Beeb is the Beeb -- thank Gawd for 'em -- so we get some insight into the outside WORLD (yes, stuff does happen outside the bubble). And then there's poor ol' CNN -- which actually is suffering from a very bad case of schizoid behaviour. On one hand you have CNN International, which is actually quite good, and then you have CNN Inside-the-bubble which is total shite. Missing white women, kids tossed off bridges, Marine murderers and those gawd-awful nattering nabobs -- the 'serious' pundits. The wattle-waggling, finger-pointing Independent Lou Dobbs (wish I had a schekel for everytime he calls hisself an INDEPENDENT), the asshats who pontificate on some silly program (The WAR Something-or-other) that catapults the Pentagons view that the WAR (what friggin' war -- it's an occupation going awry)is going swimmingly -- or so gushes a breathless Barbara Starr. And so it goes. Every few months ol' Larry King (literally, the guy is as old as Moses) digs up Elvis & his various aged and aging cronies and they swap stories on . . . well, you get the idea. So, it doesn't surprise me that CNN does have folk like John King, etc. Think of it as the NYP or even the WSJ -- you gotta expect a little bee poop if you want some honey with your peanut butter.
