Is anybody watching the Today Show right now?
Katie Couric is interviewing Maureen Dowd from the NY Times. They are both absolutely sickening.

2. Dowd called he "Queen of her own Imaginay Prom"
god i can;t stand it--I've never heard two whinier flat-accent-nasal phoney "journalists" TRASH another woman for her Cheney'ing accent.

Dowd wrapped up by saying she sounds like "Anna MAG-NEENEE". Dumbass.

MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!

4. But let me guess...when Ahnold was ever in their presence...
they fawned and said he had a sexy accent, right?

I don't take anyone on morning TV seriously. It's not even close to being news. It is catty, gossipy, entertainment aimed at juvenile minds that are only interesting in what is "hot."

7. morning "news" shows
Watch C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" at 7 a.m. Guests get to say their piece; unscreened callers range from wacky to wonderful.

9. Uh, yeah. I've watched CSPAN for years.
I'm not exactly the dumbest turnip that fell off the wagon. :eyes:

I guess I should have clarified for you new people that I meant network channels.

5. Missed that... but
Dd you see that bi-otch Katie whoring it up and trying to question the Kerry daughters about the babe war? The Kerry girls had some fantastic pictures taken for upcoming issue of Harpers and Katie asked them about the bush girls' pictures in that other mag. and essentially whether the pictures were taken as a response. The blond daughter (my apologies for not remembering her name) essentially told Katie that she was off track and that the important thing to their father's campaign are the issues and what will get the country back on track, not addressing anything superficial like those pictures.

The Kerry daughters and the Heinz sons sure seem to have the heads in the right place and I look forward to seeing them become the next "First Family."

6. I agree...John and John's kids are TOP NOTCH.
John Edward's daughter spoke great last night for a 22 year old just out of college! Poised, warm, calm and dressed professional and appropriate. All of them are very bright kids.

Can't wait to see the Beersy Twins stumble onto the stage next month and screw up their lines as they adjust their slipping bra straps.

Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 08:46 AM by buycitgo
don't hold breath

no way they'll come across as anything but vacuous, emptyheaded, spoiled brats under the even the most controlled circumstances

well?

13. reputation precedes them
One of them apparently seems to be just like diddy - raging drunk early (can't keep everything 'down home' and out of the press) and I suspect she'll have a nice little slur.

15. I'd get either locked in some cell in Syria...
... or incredibly drunk due to all the barhopping.

11. did the name "Clinton" come up?
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 08:53 AM by cosmicdot
I'd be surprised if Dowd missed an opportunity to bash Bill (Clinon-esque, her word du jour)

Establishment Media needs a total revamping ... or outsource their job to Indy Media ...

17. Katie asked Russert earlier...
"Some people say that Edwards is too populist. Would you agree"?

Well, "some people" say that Katie does it with horses.

They're all whores (no offense meant to sex workers).

19. Cheney if I know...
Why do they even bother with a "Repuke response" when the show's hosts are reading from Rove's faxes anyway?

20. I was just thinking that...
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 09:28 AM by thebigidea
... as I heard that Daryn Kagan creep slip in a snide comment to Kerry as they were going to commercial.

Its like they feel obligated to put out the RNC talking points whenever a Democrat is mentioned in a story. Is that supposed to be fair?

You NEVER get that sort of thing with Bush, no cry of "Some say his moves are partisan and driven by polls" whenever he does anything... in fact, we NEVER get the "some say" treatment of Bush...

21. Maureen seems to dislike everyone
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 09:37 AM by socialdemocrat1981
She had a profound dislike of Clinton while he was in power, she has written some brilliant articles about her dislike of * and his Administration and now she’s commencing her attack on Theresa Heinz Kerry.

At least she’s not totally one-sided though when it comes to whom she dislikes. And she hasn't sucked up to Bush like most of the media whores have
