Any truth to this? Gossip item from LA.Com
This was on LA.com (http://www.la.com/blog/weblog.php?id=P560)
Do y'all think there's anything to this or just another Repug psy-ops ploy? The date on this was 9/22/04.

Last Night's Anti-Bush Bash: For political Hollywood, the place to be last night was David Geffen's intimate dinner party in honor of Maureen Dowd and her new book Bushworld: Enter at Your Own Risk. The fete was held in Geffen's totally redone Beverly Hills home (he bought the 10-acre property known as the Jack Warner estate for $47.5 million, then a record price paid for a residential property in Los Angeles). The guest list included Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson, Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Lorne Michael, Nora Ephron, Barry Diller, Will Farrell, Martin Short, Sony Pictures' Amy Pascal, Mike Nichols, Arianna Huffington and Oracle's Larry Ellison. Ellison spilled that he had just spoken to ex-Clintonian and new Kerry advisor Joe Lockhart, who says even Kerry's private polls are showing the Democratic challenger 7 points behind Dubya.

1. Did Lockhart also "spill" to Ellison that he WANTED to be fired?

2. It's understandable......
The media, the primary communication tool for public information has been hijacked by the right wing. They control the message....most Americans do not understand the day-to-day operations of the government. They probably don't even know who their Senators are....let alone their Congressman.....

They take the talking points as credible information....it just takes a second and Poof they think they know every....

In reality, they are being pimped off......

It will be way too late when they feel the pain from this crime family. They, the crime family, has demonstrated tremendous power and control already...and it is just child's play at that for them.


They have us just where they need and want us.....

7. Well, why would Lockhart say such a thing under ANY circumstances
unless he also told Ellison how, as Kerry's newest advisor, he's going to reverse the situation? He's been in politics long enough to know that it's the fish who open that mouths that get hooked.

4. Dem polls are showing Kerry one point behind
And that's from an actual Democrat.

8. What does Anti-Bush Bash mean?
I could understand a Bush* Bash or an Anti-Bush* meeting but an Anti-Bush* Bash doesn't click with me.
