Howard Fineman is a media whore!

[russian33]

Just finished listening to him on AAR...it's a fact...prove me wrong

[lancdem]

1. What did he say?

[russian33]

5. Franken brought up the classroom incident...

..and Fineman bent over backwards saying 'well, you don't know what he was thinking, you don't know what he was told, you don't know what he was planning...blah, blah, blah'...criticized Kerry's strategy for a bit too, apparently he's a political guru on a side too..

[fairfaxvadem]

2. You've got that right.

I even flipped my monitor the bird when I heard him give his namby pamby "I don't know what was in Bush's mind in that classroom" crap.

He's just awful.

[salinen]

3. Howard has a yeast infection

[Sperk]

4. I know, making excuses as to why * sat in classroom

Why isn't anyone saying that * NEVER should have even entered the classroom in the first place? I you were President, getting Daily briefings on potential terror attacks and you heard a plane hit the towers, would YOU know enough to get on the horn with whoever you need to, to find out exactly what plane hit and what the circumstances were? I'm sorry but ANYONE would have known to do that.
Prove me wrong.

6. That's if he had paid any attention to the PDF of Aug 6th

to the Hart-Rudman Report, Richard Clarke's warnings etc. What do you expect from a President ? This is toooo much information for this Presidunce.

7. More proof of the "liberal media"

Fineman didn't endorse Bush, but almost did. His closing remarks about how he thought "Kerry thought he could have made a better commander-in-chief" than Nixon by protesting the Vietnam War may give us a clue what the next editorial will be.

In case you're wondering why Fineman wants to keep his job (slot at the whorehouse), check out who owns MSNBC and Newsweek, which Fineman is a major "contributor"...

8. The More He Lied The Madder I Got...Wrote The Show..

He lied about three main things:

1. Bush acted understandably in the 9/11 Classroom..

2. Anyone using the word "sensitive" would be fired. Cheney just used it.

3. The election is close...Zogby shows 7 point lead and all signs point to a Bush loss, barring fraud, a big if...
