Watching Matthews this AM

[PCIntern]

1. Surprised that Bolger and Mrs. Greenspan were so negative about Bush, Jr. - even that idiot Tucker was slightly negative.

2. Matthews was characteristically opionated, he said that Either Kerry will win it in a blowout, Bush will win it in a blowout, or it will be close. For this he is paid a lot of money.

3. I realized that I can't stand that picture of Bush over Matthews Left shoulder at the end. It is a peculiar, smirky laugh. I suppose I should be used to that. Furthermore, it then occurred to me that the CNN video opening of many of their news programs is that of Bush walking across the WH lawn after his return on 9/11. We all know what that was about...

Now watching Russert ask softballs of Giuliani - wonder if he'll quote Breslin's column this week.

1. I missed it.

But I caught the very end with the clip from movie "The Planet of the Apes" (1968).

What was that all about?

2. Martians...

He was pontificating on the notion of outer space and our interpretations of what aliens would be like. Of course he missed all the sociological implications of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and others like it...these were proferred for political reasons - 'cause you couldn't discuss mcCarthy, etc. in film in those days - like you son't when this crowd gets finished with their censorship.

3. Tweety often cites Shrub's "wonderful, masterful" performance on 9/11

without going into details of course.

You mention the walk across the WH lawn on 9/11 and say "we all know what that was about..." What do you mean?

4. After flying all over Creation

"getting out of harm's way" (his words) - he flew back to the WH. Brave fellow, he!

Hail the conquering hero...

If you watch the CNN DVD of the 9/11 horror, the timeline makes it look like he was on the move quickly after the events began to unfold. If you read the real timeline, it is quite a different story. Something about reading to kids (who would have been vulnerable if he were in fact a target) about a goat.

5. We didn't even have a government

for 2 days - maybe it would have been better if it had stayed that way.

10. Masterful performance.....SHAHW

The "crusade" gaffe alone was such a jaw dropper that you have to say his performance was botched.

All of the cowboy imagery ('dead 'r alive) and 'evil' comments were a massive turnoff to the civilized world (some of which resides within the USA).

I think shrub's 9/11 performance is proof that in this age, most people are afraid to say the emperor has no clothes. Your half-empty can of coke, inanimate carbon rod, or lump of coal would be put up on a pedestal and hailed as our fearless leader.

Exception: Al Gore would have been crucified by the Republican party and their media lackeys.

6. He also said

He opened the show asking how Kerry was going to avoid being steamed rolled by the Bush machine. He also talked about the wives and portrayed Kerry`s wife as not caring and Bush`s old lady as the elegant Laura. This guy sucks republican big time. What a pandering fool.

[PCIntern]

7. ...and when people tried to say how Teresa

was a class act, he sneered that Novaklian sneer. He really is a denigrating mess. I wonder what HIS wife thinks of Him when he steps out of the shower. Not exactly Charlton Heston, now, is he?

8. he and noonan

kept telling me the other day how everyone, just everyone loves laura. not. i live with these women i would hang with the kerry woman anytime. these woman bore me, so uptight no fun adn all groomed too groomed. too hard for me............but

these women, they admire and like adn look longingly at the kerry woman, cause we are free. adn oh they long for that freedom and nakedness they are just too uptight and damn afraid, bah ha ha ha

i know these women, lol yup

[PCIntern]

9. right you are, seabeyond

but more than that, these guys on the right are whipped at home, then go out on the tube and play macho man (and we all know the origins of that tune, don't we, all us Village People fans)and talk about the women as objects and oh-so-sanctimoniously and with great 'objectivity'. Fact of the matter is that they hate Hillary 'casue she's jsut a whole lot smarter than they are, that she'd kick them the heck out of bed for their underperforming style, and honestly, there isn't one good-looking guy among them, really, except for maybe tucker and he's just a little too handsome. You could start a whole new thread with imagined foreplay of these panelists. It really would be funny, but we might get censored rather quickly.

would be a hoot...imagine McLaughlin barking out: POSITION ONE!!

11. Cannot even listen to his voice anymore

My wife ruined it for me. She refused to even look at the set when he was on. Got up and walked out of the room.

She said only an asshole would listen to an asshole like that, and I have come to see how right she is.

Here's a debate topic: resolved, a free press being a necessity for a free society, no individual or corporation shall be allowed to own and/or operate any newspaper, television station and/or radio station or any combination thereof in any more than one market area.

12. Excellent news! The pundits gave Bush 9 votes and Kerry 2.

As we have seen, they have almost all been consistently wrong.
