Schneider on CNN....
Pretty much telling the viewing audience that Bush is charming and that alone is enough to win the White House...like Bill Clinton was likable even though there were so many who hated him...

He announced like a fact that Bush was so charming in his acceptance speech...where do these guys get the gall??? How stupid does he think the average american is??? There are some SERIOUS problems out there Bill and no amount of charm will help them!!

Also - Barb Starr reported on how the administration is having to revamp their war tactic...like giving our soldiers new protection, better weapons and better combat training... REVAMP NOW??? How about they should have been prepared BEFORE??? Parents of soldiers should be marching on Washington...don't use their children as test models for how we can fight better!!!! This is beyond unbelievable!!

1. Bill Schneider is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute
Therefore, he is simply expressing the point of view that he is paid to express -- a rather far-right one.

2. He is the definition of a twit
HE tries to come off as an Andy Rooney type "for the common folk" guy (at least that is how it registers with me). He also reminds of that guy on your local station who has been there forever and no one wants to see fired so they give him the "Community Focus" report on WEdnesday's at 4:30.

5. Forget that part of 'credentialing'
He's a creep. I'm tired of these guys' affiliations with 'institutions', both academic and professional. I don't give a good goddam if you're from harvard, AEI, or Butte State...if you're an asshole, then you're an asshole. And I'm tired of the way these guys who are 'interpreting' speak in factual terms, like "People like Bush" or that he's a "amiable".

don't tell me who I like and don't like - what he finds amiable I could care less about - his criteria are not my criteria and nowhere was that clearer than during the impeachment trial when all of these c**ks*****s kept saying how the American public regarded Clinton and his Penis as the lowest forms of life. Hardly. (that's a pun right there).

these CNN blowhards like Scneider, Novakula, Blitzer, Crowley, deciding for us whom I like - WTF - I wouln't accept their recommendations for a blind date, much less who I would like, trust, or need as a President.

Agendad idiots all...

4. He actually compared the shrub to Clinton's charisma
What an insult!!

Clinton could actually think on the fly, forming coherent and often witty sentances. Bill Schneider is such a partisan fuckwad. Disgusting.

6. have you noticed how his head swivels around his neck when he talks?
He is probably fighting his conscience which probably knows that his lips are speaking lies.}(

Charming? I didn't watch his speech live, but I've seen clips from it (couldn't get to the remote fast enough).

I saw nothing even remotely charming - just a puppet without a soul mouthing someone else's text. His delivery is odd - rather than pronouncing whole words, he pronounced syllables. It was like a "Hooked on Phonics" speech. While he pronounced his syllables, his beady eyes darted around the hall. He looked exactly like the criminal he is.

Schneider is just a bought-and-paid for right-wing flack.

8. Schneider, A Poem by SoupKitchen
Schneider has a round jack in the box head
And the fairness of a troll
And if a guillotine meets that head
It will roll and roll and roll.

9. Schneider is truly a Dr. Evil
He must have been on vacation yesterday because who should take his place on Inside Politics but Howard Kurtz, that other "reliable source" -- did someone say his wife is a Repub lobbyist? No. You're kidding -- who, of course, helped explain to the audience -- "But wait hold on a minute", he exclaimed -- the 17% increase in Medicare premiums was not from the White House but from the Medicare commission, put into place during Clinton's term.

Let's say this together: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVER WATCH CNN. They are worse than FOX.

Did I mention that Mr. Marine Sen. Warner personally thanked Wolf -- 15 years with the Jerusalem Post -- Blitzer for his help in promoting the "Showdown in Iraq"? On air.

10. I almost puked when the dimson almost cried during his speech . . .
Bill Maher said it right: There's no crying in politics!

It was all a show & unfortunately it works on the sheeople.
