1. Saying that Blacks are disappointed with the Kerry/Edwards ads.
WHAT IS UP his rear end? He sounds like the repug machine. Did he get Novakula's card already?

6. All these repugs trying to put words in Dems mouths, and define OUR ISSUES
It is amazing. Tucker has become Hillary's "champion". It is so ridiculous that it is sickening.

9. There's an awful lot of that going around.
White men telling African-Americans what they think and what to do.

(Supposedly) straight men and women with lousy marriage records telling me, who has been married twenty years to the same person, that gay marriages threaten MY marriage.

All this coming from the party that supposedly wants less government.

I'm about ready to tell them to go Cheney themselves.

2. He is trying to get Jesse to be pissed at Dems because he was
not invited to the convention.
Jesse did not take the bait.

5. When he said he wanted Jesse to remind people what he was doing
40 years ago AND HOW PROGRESS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED (I guess he means for blacks?)Jesse said what he had been doing 40 years ago, related to civil rights, and then he said: yes, there has been progress because this year we MIGHT get our vote counted for presidential elections!!
good for him!

8. What do the fools mean by "upper echelons"?
The ONLY blacks in Congress are Democrats! The desperation of these fascist clods is becoming increasingly obvious.

10. Oh sure, maybe there's Black Democrats in Congress
But how many Black Democrats are Secretary of State? Huh? Don't have quite such a snappy answer to that, do you?

And how many Black Democrats are Secretary of Education? Or National Security Advisor? Huh? Huh?

Once again, the impenetrable logic of Leslie Blitzer wins over all!

Wait; did I say "impenetrable"? I meant, uhm . . . impenetrable. No, that's the same word. Impeccable? Yeah. Yeah, that's it: Impeccable.

20. Condi is basically *'s personal secretary. She reads briefings to..
him. She follows him around and takes notes. Puleeze.

21. I hope Kerry taps Al Sharpton for a position in his cabinet.
He could choose many other well qualified people also. But until he's announced his cabinet I'll refrain from criticizing the unknown. If only CNN.coN utilize this simple logic! :argh:

11. This program today has been a WASTE OF TIME. 90% Martha
The rest Democrat bashing... all by a little man with a beard and an inferiority complex, full of himself and the repug talking points. Jon Stewart needs to come to his program and laugh at him everytime he opens his mouth!!!!

13. Does Leslie think he is a fair and objective anchor/news person?
Or does he know that he is tilted and and a paid propaganda piece for Bu$hco and the Republicans Right Wing? }(

14. I honestly think
Wolf is in denial. He acted stunned when he was questioned on the Daily Show, as if it had never occured to him that he and the rest of the mediawhores were being led around by the nose by the repugs. Like an idiot, I thought that his experience on the Daily Show may have opened his eyes....I was a fool. Either he knows that he is following the repug talking points and likes it that way, or he is beyond stupid.:dunce:

15. I missed Wolf on the Daily Show..

I wish I could've seen it.

17. I managed to catch the program
but it was one of the few episodes that I didn't record, and I really regret it.:cry:

It was one of Jon's greatest pieces of all time. It would be great if someone could get it posted somewhere.

22. Hey, If I call "W" names, will he leave me the hell alone, too.
I've got an entire list I call him all the time. Unfortunately, he keeps screwing up my life. Maybe I need to call him the names publicly.

23. Blitzer is showing signs he wants his own right-wing radio talk show
He no longer cares if he does not appear to be a journalist. I can only guess that he wants to do something that can help his ego grow, and this current gig ain't doin it for him.
