Efforting?

He was talking to a Russian ambassador trying to explain the Russian/Georgian outbreak and he was doing a ham-fisted job, as usual, of trying to 'slyly' send the message that he doesn't believe a word the Russian guy was saying and then...

"And we are efforting, trying to get a reaction from Georgia's President."

What a dolt.

9. I'm still annoyed by "gifting"
We have a verb form of the noun "gift." It is "to GIVE." We don't need "gifting," or "to gift," and yet...

I guess "efforting" is not far behind.

12. Have you noticed how happy the CNN reporters and anchors seem to be?
It's enough to make you vomit.

Ever since our filthy little oil war went bad, it seems as if the corpate media whores at CNN/MSGOP/FAUX have been orderred and instructed by the white house to kep it to small glurgry "feel-good" stories about Iraq, and miscellaneous pro-bush/cheney propaganda.

The execs at CNN must be getting a regular stiffie over Georgia right now. Not only is a good old fashioned blood bath; but it's the "red menace" shit all over again. Retired generals all over the place, shining up their little war medals and giving their "input" on how THEY would get things done. Their boy mcbush on there, getting to relive his glory years of carpet bombing villages full of women and children, while the corporate media whores fawn all over him and handjob him as "the man we need to lead this country in these dangerous times." After all, ma and pa naascar may have actually started to forget about the perception that Democrats are jelly-spined, traitorous fags who shriek at the mere mention of violence. :eyes:

Yep...the cable news networks seem to be all in their fucking element yet again.
