1. The plot thickens, the weather curdles, the evil

MUST not be tolerated. Pull the threads together, tweet! Show yourself worthy of our attention!

[buycitgo]

2. who's this Moore guy?

tweety casting aspersions against Burkett

just turned on; is Moore pro or con

can't tell

[buycitgo]

3. author, Bush's War for Reelection

CM talking about the Kinko's in Abilene

what a DICK!

I guess Rove couldn't send somebody there, could they?

[buycitgo]

4. is Rick Davis a Ferret faced worm, or what?

[buycitgo]

5. once again they IGNORE the reality behind the papers

if you;re going to talk about this crap, TALK ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE, the facts of his service, not the memo

Marie Cocco is CRAZY! she says the public KNEW about all this in 2000!

what an ASS!

I used to like her

she'd delusional

I used to email back and forth with her

time to start up again, and bring her back to reality

can't believe she said that

[buycitgo]

6. Matthews DISSES the ad.....great ad!

Cocco disses it, too

says it's too dark

as opposed to the Swiftboat ads

what is your PROBLEM, you assholes?

they carp on them not talking about the issues, then they do, and they diss him for being negative!

7. God Matthews is a dumbass. The problem is * doesn't

realize he is a rich kid that got special treatment - he wont admit it.

It is the old line - he was born on third but he thinks he hit a triple.

[irancontra]

8. im like a junkie with matthews

he's horrible for 58 minutes & throws me a hit for 2.

Matthews of Bush: "Spoiled Rich Kid"

Classic.

[buycitgo]

10. but he said it dismissively, as if the public does not CARE!

it was GOOD for Bush that way

I really want to stop watching that hebrephemic jackwadder

[vi5]

9. God, when will you people learn...

Stop watching this garbage!!!!! Read a book, or spend your time looking up valid, actual news and information on the internet rather than watching that dreck and then posting about what dreck it is.

We are all smart people on here. Why do we subject ourselves to cable news?

Again, the analogy is knowingly going to a Yankees game at Yankee stadium and then complaining that the fans were too enthusiastic about the yankees.

[Pirate Smile]

11. I'm looking up real news while I have the dreck on in the background.

It is called multitasking. Heh, I'm making dinner at the same time too.

I read plenty of books but it doesn't really work at a time like this.

It was perfectly clear what this thread was about from the title. So if you don't like it, look elsewhere.

I actually thought people might want to see Bill Burkett's interview about what he saw during the scrubbing of * records.

[vi5]

12. I know it's difficult...

I was a cable news junkie myself. It's tough weening off but I refuse to give them any more ratings, no matter who they have on.

[Pirate Smile]

14. Well, Keith is on now and I love Keith. I have never pledged to

give up cable news although I will limit myself at times for my sanity's sake.

[buycitgo]

13. did you catch Todd Purdum at the end?

all I caught was something about chief salesman to the UN

talking about Powell, I assume

what did they say?

thx

told my sister I'd run into somebody who had a kid in school in CR, by the way

forgot what she told me about her school

[Pirate Smile]

15. I missed most of it. They were talking about what happened to Powell

and why does he stay. Powell was trying to keep the neocons in check but that he has lost that battle. They said how the Admin. used him to sell the case to the UN but that was about all. They used him but didn't actually listen to him.

I kept thinking (before the Iraq War) that Powell would resign but he never did. I have been so incredible disappointed in him. He still (from his interviews on the Sunday shows) seems to be the only one in the Administration that has any touch with reality. I'm not sure if that makes him worse or better.
