The Media Blackout of Jesse Walters

Zell Miller's "dog-bites-man" schtick of Democrat-bashing has earned him a speaking role at the GOP convention and a host of stories in the media.

But when a Republican who has attended the last four GOP conventions resigns as a delegate the week before the convention, it barely makes the news.

1. Maybe Jon Stewart will pick it up!

That's where the real news comes from. That and Europe and the rest of the world. I can't believe I live in such a fascist Country.

2. I saw this posted on DU yesterday.

I guess it's not big deal if one delegate quits. There are however many of them.

I don't know how often this happens in either party.

Because there are thousands, isn't it something that might happen once in a while?

8. demand equal time for Jesse Walters

if they can run Zell-out Miller during the DNC, then Jesse Walters should do color commentary during the RNC
