CNN is showing footage of Jeb, the smarter *, every 15 minutes.
But its old footage of him talking about hurricane Charley. The interesting thing is that MSNBC rarely puts pictures of Jeb on, usually only when he's making a press appearance. Something is seriously wrong with CNN. It has definitely decided to give FAUX a run for its money. Funny thing, though, I believe I heard that MSNBC's ratings have gone up during the last few months. MSNBC is far from perfect, but lined up against CNN, it gets this viewer's vote of preference.

1. Jeb needs the exposure. Shrub is going to resign for
"health" reasons and Jeb is going to step up to take his place, hence the coverage.

3. Jeb, and CNN, know that if jr. goes down this November,
Rethuglicans won't give another * the time of day, much less the party's nomination.

4. I agree with you. I suppose I was trying to be sarcastic. Is there a sign
for sarcasm?

6. I knew you were being sarcastic. I just went off on a rant!
This isn't really a sign for sarcasm, but sometimes it fits: :eyes:

2. I was thinking exactly the same thing this AM
MSNBC has made a strategic decision to not follow the path of CNN. Ted Turner's creation, as great as it once was, is essentially toast. MSNBC, with the McEnroe show and with putting Dean on as a guest host recently is taking a better direction. I will certainly do my part to support them.

5. Hardball's show last night was what solidified that feeling for me.
You know Chris had to get approval before he incinerated that scum McNeil. They obviously gave it to him, plus maybe their blessings.

7. they kind of have to show him--I mean this really
is an emergency--and the people in Florida at least will want to know what their "leader" is doing and saying.

I have to admit that at the moment it is news--even though I don't care to see Jeb....
