66. CNN had the chairman of the RNC critique John Kerry's speech.

I haven't watched CNN since Day One, when they showed what their true colors were, but others have been reporting. Wednesday night, they had Ralph Reed critique John Edwards's speech.


I demand that the DNC chair be allowed to critique Bush*'s speech.

but Sharpton would be better! :P

I can dream, can't I?

3. You know, if you watched the actual convention on CSPAN,

You didn't notice anything.

Anything that 'happened' at the end of the convention was primarily the invention of CNN.

Some of the balloons didn't drop, CNN had decided to run the stage manager's intercom audio live, and the guy swore on the air, like all other stage managers I've ever known. I'd bet that the stage manager didn't even know he was on the air at that point.

I watched the actual convention on CSPAN, and there was no perceptible 'glitch'.

5. Balloongate

CNN thought it was a good idea to mike the event producer who was on intercom cueing the technicians running the audio and dropping the balloons and confetti from the roof, probably to trivialize the celebration, those fucking corprate globalist whores.

Anyway, the balloons were not dropping fast enough for the event producer and in his frustration he exclaimed "What the FUCK are you doing up there?" Live on CNN.

1. What the FUCK was CNN doing mic ing the event producer?

2. What the FUCK difference does it make what the event producer says?

CNN was hoping for something like this to provide yet another red herring issue to smokescreen their overlord in chief's unrelenting incompetence.

6. Here's another thread on the balloon drop that was sorta sluggish

plastic_turkeys reply: "It was a controlled balloon drop.
We don't drop everything at once, we have more self-control"
