So does anybody else think the lid is about to blow off Bushco?

[Walt Starr]

The media whores are pulling double fellatio duty starting last night and moving into today.

The GOP is spinning more than a gyroscope.

Everybody involved in the Bush campaign is in full blown attack mode on anything and everybody, including a poor MSNBC reporter who asked a question about whether Bush agreed with Cheney's "Vote Bush Or DIE!" statment.

Methinks they are coming unhinged.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

1. Yeah, it's about to HIT THE FAN for AWOL

;

[cthrumatrix]

37. the repugs are shitting bigtime...their boy is a coke head

[Demonaut]

52. I don t know, it depends if the mass media really give this the coverage

it deserves, if not it'll be just another footnote about 2004 smear campaigns.

[Worst Username Ever]

2. Yes but then again I have been thinking that for 2 years

and still no lids have been blown off.

[Walt Starr]

6. Well, there was never a chance anything was going to be done about it for

the past three years since they control all three branches of government. What better time to blow the lid off than less than two months before the election?

:shrug:

[A_Possum]

8. It's incredible, isn't it?

The power of human beings to be deluded is just incredible.

One can only wonder what straw will finally break this poor camel's back--it's carrying the biggest load of sh*t I've ever seen.

[ClassWarrior]

3. The perfect topper would be Plame indictments.

Like a marischino cherry.

[cthrumatrix]

4. the bush-dike has tooo many holes in it.... he's taost

he was awol!

graham shows the link with saudis

and shrubya is a cola freak...sources say (Ms. Kelly)

[benburch]

5. Something is about to happen...

I just wish I knew what!

I usually have a clue about what is about to happen, but my crystal ball is cloudy at present.

[Search Party]

7. it rests on the media's shoulders

maybe faux will blow the lid off in a fit of unimaginable guilt.

<sarcasm off>

[Cha]

17. bush cousin..roger ailes gets real

Religion!

[tridim]

9. Death by a thousand blown lids

Each of which should have done the job itself.

[Joanne98]

10. Well you have Barnes tonight, new records released, Kitty Kelly,

1000 dead soldiers, a pissed off Putin, CA joining Bev's Diebold lawsuit and Walt Starr's exclusive ribbon story. :) What's to worry about?

[stevedeshazer]

11. Spidey-sense is tingling

Crap detector off.

Tsunami warning on.

[Cha]

12. I hope so..I'm so Tired of waiting

for the other Shoe to drop! I want a lot of issues to come so big and so fast that the whores can't possibly keep a Lid on it!!

[Walt Starr]

14. That's what it's looking like to me

The perfect political storm is brewing and about a ton of fecal matter is about to strike the rotational cooling device.

[cthrumatrix]

16. it certainly has the makings of a dreadful impact for the poor

coke head in office

[napi21]

13. Not yet! The media won't let it happen.

They have too much to loose! People would stop watching, the polls wouldn't mean anything, and they'd loose all that $$ on campaign advertising!

Noooo, it will be a while. I'm sure they will drag it out to Nov. 2nd if they can.

[neomonkey]

15. Yes, something is about to happen but nothing will

I get the feeling we will definitely see a lot of juicy developments in the next month and we will revel in the knowledge that the idiot king is truly the cowardly, stupid piece of shit we know he is.

Then, with a careful manipulation coordinated between the Bushies and the mainstream media, these stories will die quiet, slow deaths because they are not very titillating to a public which gets all its information from Fox Network.

So in a nutshell, yes, a lid will be blown off but the problem is, will anyone care enough to peer in?

[demokatgurrl]

my sentiments exactly

There's a lot there but it won't amount to anything, thanks to the "media".

[Nightjock]

47. That is EXACTLY right

After they slipped out of Richard Clarks testimony, I knew they will never get nailed on anything. For Shit's sake look at his approval rating on terror now.
Half of America are a bunch of morons.

[DeaconBlues]

18. I hope you are right,

but I tend to be as skeptical of these types of posts as I am of the "Kerry is finished!" posts. Does DU suffer from bipolar depressive disorder?

[Walt Starr]

20. I've been cautious about this stuff for the past three years, too

but there's just SO MUCH FECAL MATTER that is flying straight for the rotational cooling device that it's pretty hard not to watch with a guarded sense of glee.

[lapislzi]

21. Word for today: schadenfreude

I'm not too proud to say it. Say it with me, won't you?

[On the Road]

46. I Will *Sing* it With You

to the tune of "Edelweiss":

"Schadenfreude, Schadenfreude,
Grace my homeland forever."

[sundancekid]

19. lid meet very busy fan ... even the WaPo lists all the stories out today

News Breaks Against Bush
Wednesday, Sep 08, 2004; 11:34 AM

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/politics/administration/whbriefing/

[NewJeffCT]

22. It's just about time for a Terror Alert - Code Red

so that will be the only news in the headlines for the next 3-4 days.

[Walt Starr]

24. Yep, that's crossed my mind, too

We are getting overdue for a "Terra 'Lert". I bet they pull out Tom Ridge before the week is up for a nationwide Code Orange, which is where we will remain until at least Halloween.

Code Red is reserved for the day or two before the election.

[Chef]

23. Lids Blowing

I hope you're optimism bears fruit. However, I would bet a million Iraqi dinars that you are not going to see it.

[Renew Deal]

26. $683

1,000,000.00 IQD
Iraq Dinars = 683.8776 USD
United States Dollars
1 IQD = 0.000683878 USD 1 USD = 1,462.25 IQD

I don't know. That's a good bet.

[Scorpious_Maximus]

25. The Wheels are coming off that train! n/t

[wicket]

27. I pray to God that it is

[LuminousX]

28. Perfect Storm is brewing

Graham's accusations.
AWOL reports.
Kelley book claiming coke use at Camp David.
Cheney's cockamamie threats.
Iraq war spinning out of control.
Lackluster economic revival.

Toss in the Plame Indictments and we have a clear lane to victory in November.

[cthrumatrix]

39. just a little media tonic and we have a November Victiory based

on the record of this coward in chief

[Walt Starr]

40. The media are sharks

and blood is spilling in the water. They must smell it. It will take great pressure for the sharks to not strike on this one.

This is the true test of the power Karl Rove has over the media. If this is buried, democracy is completely and totally dead.

Sharks must feed, and a frenzy has built up. We'll see how this goes.

[EST]

42. It's still morning-

Difficult as it is, must wait and see what develops. But I wanna go kill something!!!
It's going to take lots and lots more shit to derail this monster that has been growing for forty years.

on edit: obviously my metaphor mixer is working beautifully...

[Walt Starr]

43. It's definitely the death of one hundred thousand cuts!

Takes a hundred times more cuts to kill off this Hydra (reference to the old S.H.I.E.L.D. rival organization intended)

[Nightjock]

50. I believe Kerry will win too, but

If Richard Clarkes book did not faze Bush's support, why do you think KITTY KELLY WILL?

[GingerSnaps]

29. They keep spinning and spinning but it has sprung a leak

LOL

I can't wait and all of us "old timers" have been waiting for this to happen for a long time.

[Mad_Dem_X]

33. Something's got to give

It's only a matter of time before they hang themselves; too much sh*t is going down...their world is about to crumble, and I can't wait! }(

[DancingBear]

30. Hey Walt - I do!!!!!!!!!

I've been posting the "death by 1000 cuts" theory for several days here, and even though the threads sink like stones I think it's true.

Every day I watch something happen, first from this broadside, then that, then over here, then over there. Kerry and his people are running Karls' playbook TO THE LETTER - so much stuff is coming at Chimpy that he doesn't know what fire to put out next.

He will blow - there is no question in my mind that he will - especially if challeneged on his "veracity" or his manhood. Just watch - the minute the term "coward" gets into this political lexicon his head will come off.

I'm sorry, but I think the Kerry campaign, after a horrific couple of weeks, is now working like a very nicely oiled machine.

[RevCheesehead]

34. "Paper cuts....vicious paper cuts"

in THE PENTAGON WARS (HBO)....an excellent movie!

[tandot]

31. Spilling our kids blood while he refused to do the same

he snorted coke and got drunk while soldiers in Vietnam fought and died for their country. And than he didn't even finish is National Guard service and went AWOL.

I don't get how any veteran or soldier can vote for that frat-boy.

[Spiffarino]

32. Every Kerry supporter needs to hit them harder...

...and harder and harder.

Bush cannot tolerate criticism. He will order his minions to shut reporters up by any means necessary and eventually it will backfire. You can only intimidate people for so long before there's a backlash.

It's up to us to keep the pressure on every day and as much as possible. Call, write a LTTE, blog, email and anything else to keep the buzz going about Bush's lies, gaffes, and his generally bad behavior. It will drive him crazy. :crazy:

[AzDar]

35. The emperor has no clothes!! n/t

[Walt Starr]

36. Hmmmm, I might have been right!

I wonder when we'll go Code Orange? I voted this week in my Terra 'Lert Lotto!

[seabeyond]

38. we wil watch repugs to see how it is done

adn if it is effective. or if it doesnt matter if you immediately go after an attack, or sit back and let it go. wink

they are going to show us how it is done, i am sure. the difference, with bush there is truth, with kerry it was baltant story telling, ergo lie

[NoBorders]

41. Nope. n/t

[mmonk]

44. If Graham's revelations won't

nothing will. Remember, they control the information deemed news.

[cthrumatrix]

45. media is trying...but we have 2 frigging months...drip, drip, drip

[librechik]

48. Walt Starr, have you noticed

MSNBC, CNN, and (I think) CBS all used that still of Shrub wearing the fake medal, the pic with Poppy standing proudly next to him. (Is he pinning it on him? talk about Freudian!)

Ironic, huh?

[Nightjock]

49. Nothing sticks to him.

Mostly because the media can't follow up a story.

[WI_DEM]

51. No, because the media won't cover it the way they did the swift boaters

The medias job is to protect their interests and that means helping W win.

[Philostopher]

53. I think it's more a matter of keeping things as dirty as possible

because whomever wins, it's rolling around in the dirt that bumps up the ratings on the news shows. I'm having a downer week, but I know this, too shall pass -- still, I maintain that the news shows all want it to become a mud wrestling match because that's when they get their ratings, and I don't know if the journalists themselves genuinely care who ends up standing at the end of it.

The owners of the news organizations do care, but however much they attempt to interfere, it's the guys on the ground who determine the finer points of the coverage. And I really don't know that the majority of them care who wins, as long as they get their bonus checks come January.
