I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
I'm afraid bourbon won't be strong enough.
Remember when CNN was important? Ah, the heady days of youth.
Ahh, modern journalism, refreshing and informed every single time.
Issa on Real Time last week still called it the Clinton News Network.
Even they pretend there is some liberalism somewhere.
bourbon???
how about some crack. Or maybe heroin and a syringe.
Just when you think it can't get more ridiculous...
...and to think we have 10 more months of this.
CNN: The Craptacular News Network.
Cheers, and bottoms up!
Compared to many environmental groups, LCV is conservative.
Did you catch David Brooks today on John Kerry? Apparently Kerry truly is a stealth conservative in some ways -
in a real world, tonights SNL would have a sketch based on Bush & his "ribs/economy" photo op.
Compared to many environmental groups, LCV is conservative.
hmpf. In a relative sense, perhaps... but LCV endorses Kerry and here's the statement on their home page:
As the campaign to unseat the worst anti-environment president in history heats up, LCV endorses Sen. John Kerry. His extraordinary lifetime LCV rating, record of accomplishment, and commitment to our issues makes him the clear choice for environmentalists.
Doesn't sound very conservative to me, unless not advocating monkeywrenching is your idea of 'conservative'. In any case I think you are cutting Whitfield waaaay too much slack...
Would it be a terrible thing if conservatives believed that a conservation group was on their side?
Would it be a terrible thing if conservatives stopped trying to rape the environment every single time they get in power???????

Just tell them you got stoned and forgot that last year of Guard Duty.

Of course they do. Tools like Issa won't be satisfied until news channels refer to Georgie as "God's Chosen President."
DRUDGE ALERT... developing...
FLASHBACK: Kerry in 2000 claimed it is a matter of character that Bush avoided duty oversees by joining the Texas Air National Guard. No documents have been found to show he reported for duty as ordered in Alabama in 1972... 'Those of us who were in the military wonder how it is that someone who is supposedly serving on active duty, having taken that oath, can miss a whole year of service without even explaining where it went,' said Kerry... Developing...
FLASHBACK: KERRY ALLUDED TO BUSH AS DESERTER
Hoooo boy! I can't believe Drudge is this clueless that he doesn't know that keeping this issue alive is the last thing Rove wants right now. I wonder how it will be before Drudge get's the call from Bush HQ....
HQ: Drudge! Ixnay on the esertionday! STAT!

I read a rumor that Drudge isn't fond of Bush.
He's right? The words conserve do mean the same. But then again who knew the word 'gay' would change so much from one context to another?
MYOB'
.
"Would it be a terrible thing if conservatives believed that a conservation group was on their side?"
Huh? Is that the same as the "Healthy Forests Preservation Act"?
Gryn -
I saw that Drudge piece to which you are referring. I was thinking exactly the same thing. There is zero upside for Bush if this starts a fresh round of inquiry into his service during Vietnam. Although Drudge is playing games when he makes it sound like Kerry used the word "deserter". It's not in any of the direct quotes Drudge is using.
Anonymous,
I read a rumor that Drudge isn't fond of Bush.
Hmm, that's new to me, but I'll buyt it. Still it would seem that he meant it as a smear against the current Democratic frontrunner Kerry (in the same vein as the Jenning's/Clark/Moore thing).
You got any references to that Drudge/Bush rumor?
This is like people burning down the homes of pediatricians, thinking they were pedophiles.
timshel,
That is correct. I can not see any upside for Bush to have the AWOL thing brought up again.
In fact that is why I might give Jennings a pass if that was his real intent. He may really know that the only way to raise the issue with the current state of the media is to appear to be using it against a Democrat (but.. but... I was just playing the Bush-hater card, there wasn't any truth to that AWOL business was there?)
makes one wonder how something that happened 4 years ago can be considered urgent, developing news. I hope this really backfires on them and that this issue sticks. SOMETHING needs to stick to Bush. Broken SOTU promises, embarrassing verbal flubs, creepy Newspeak. Practically every week he does or says something that could be turned into a great political commercial.

As I said it is a rumor.

Drudge hates Bush. So this story may be partly cooked up. But it wouldn't surprise me. I think Bush's immigration initiative is a big mistake.
Hmm, reading my own words about Jennings makes me think maybe there is some truth to the "Drudge doesn't like Bush" rumor. It would be a *perfect* cover for him to pretend to be smearing a Democrat where the real intent was to keep this baby in play.
Conversationists are folks who talk real good.
Am I dead yet?
LCV is actually a canned foodstuff advocacy group, you nitwits.
Spam, Spam, wonderful Spam...
It's not that I don't like W, but when the prick shut me down for some baby-face Canadian Scottie ... what's a guy gonna do?
***DEVELOPING***
Funny. Not.
"Americas most trusted news source" or whatever the hell their catchphrase is. Christ, give me a break. They are no better than FOX. In fact probably worse considering that FOX at least wears their politics on their sleeve. I beginning to think that the entire cable news industry is nothing more than supermarket tabloids for people too stupid to read. What else could explain the fact that despite a war in Iraq, a contentious Democratic primary, an American economy that is hemorraging decent jobs, a president that is a doltish mouthpiece for special interests ... what else could explain why fucking Michael Jackson is the lead god damn story every freakin morning and gets twice the coverage of any other issue that actually is meaningful. Grrrrr.....!!! I gotta get some blood pressure medication pretty damn soon.
This is like people burning down the homes of pediatricians, thinking they were pedophiles.
Yeah, or the way Bush cut benefits for veterinarians.
Anyone know just what it is that conservatives are trying to conserve? Maybe they should be called retentives instead.
I'm wondering if "Peter" Jennings
didn't float that desserter/awol
thing out there on purpose?
In a time of peace, I can understand the media not holding a candidate's feet to the fire on his service record. I dont say this to justify it, just that I can loosely understand it.
It's a different animal now that Bush has sent over 500 (and counting) American soldiers to their graves. It DEMANDS public scrutiny.
Canadian outsider looking in... it seems to me that there is enough verifiable evidence around to trash and trivialize Bush. There might be enough to support impeachment. But nothing sticks to him but pretzel fragments and Grecian 2000. Efforts so far to bring him to account have had the same effect as pissing upwind. What gives? Incidentally, apart from a small contingent of Freeper types, most Canadians would love to see the end of GeeDubya and his ilk.
Bull. You made that up.

One time we cooked a veternarian instead of a vegetarian.

FWIW--I have always thought Drudge to be more of a rumor-monger than a hard-core right wing partisan (although his politics do lean that way). He is a tool of the republicans to be sure, but I would bet that he would publish leaks from the democrats--if the story was juicy enough.
mmmm... bourbon. *sigh* I miss Maker's Mark! They don't sell it over here.
Network News has less and less in common with the real world and more and more in common with a cat food commercial every day.

That is one theory as to why he ran the Democratic Hate Bush get together story so long.
Being gay he is naturally more catty than staright hate Bush people.

Their power.

I call 'em regressives. I like the pseudo-psychological implications of yours (anal retentive), but I'm afraid when it comes to the sh*t they push, nothing is held back.
Drudge pulled the "Kerry implies Bush was a deserter" story. Someone must have clued him in that Dubya never responded to those accusations adequately.

Whitfield is no idiot. She's a beautiful woman that made a mistake. That is all.
Semper Fi
But CNN is the most trusted name in news. I know because they said it. Talk about a recursive delusion.
Would it be a terrible thing if conservatives stopped trying to rape the environment every single time they get in power???????
renato
No it wouldn't be a terrible thing. So how come they rape the enviornment every single time they get in power? Becuase conservatives are Mammonists. It is their sacred duty to gather as much ma to themselves as is possible. Read about Easter Island and what some scholars think happened to it's once abundant trees.
Brokaw on MTP just mentioned the clear record of Bush's absences while in the Alabama ANG...
