Schieffer: Dean "disintegrating", Biden becoming new "voice of Democrats"

[Bluebear]

In a radio interview with WBZ this morning, Bob Schieffer explained that it looks likely that Biden is running for President in '08, and after all, WITH HOWARD DEAN'S DISINTEGRATION, Biden is becoming the real spokesman of the Democratic Party. Every time Dean 'opens his mouth' and says something new, MORE AND MORE people are saying "Hey, Howard Dean doesn't speak for me!" :eyes:

===

They're pulling out all the stops again. Why is the media so afraid of Dr. Dean?

[Webster Green]

1. Bush is disintegrating....

...and that's why they are so afraid of Dean.

[cthrumatrix]

64. BIDEN "bankruptcy bill supporter" is DOA ..... Dean makes more

sense than Biden the "sellout"

[Davis_X_Machina]

2. Did Mr. Schieffer...

...mention that Mr. Bush appointed his brother US Ambassador to Australia?

[ldf]

45. he's also a good friend of monkeyboy

who frequently socializes with them.

they are so afraid of dean.

[progressivebydesign]

54. Gosh. Wasn't the the OBJECTIVE moderator of the debate? n/t

[Ysolde]

3. Because he'll expose them for all of

their hypocrisy, collusion, and lies. They're corporate whores and they don't want to lose their cushy status.

[MichiganVote]

4. Once again, CBS is on the wrong side of the tracks

I don't trust the comments of anyone with a millions anymore. Just been too good a time for too long at the expense of too many. Biden is a holier than thou has been who will say anything to anybody.

[libnnc]

5. the hell he says...

I am fucking sick and tired of these hacks claiming that they know who speaks for me.

Hey Bob, STFU! :nuke:

[hnsez]

6. That Does it I Made ANOTHER donation for $20.01 to the DNC

If the press is negative about the good doctor he is really working hard for us!

[mistertrickster]

26. That's a damn good idea--everytime the press gangs up on Dr. D.

we should send in another donation to the DNC.

[Robbien]

7. Bob Schieffer wishes that were true

Because the GOP will win against Biden each and every time. No one would be able to tell the difference between the GOP and the Dems and why vote Dem when you could have the same thing with the GOP.

[earthboundmisfit]

8. Seems funny to me, folks LOVE Dr. Phil for "telling it like it is" -

but they don't want to hear the same bluntness from Dr. Dean (although he stands head & shoulders above Dr. Bozo Phil and is involved with REAL issues in the REAL WORLD).

[NawlinsNed]

49. You misunderstand

People love to hear Dr. Phil tell OTHER PEOPLE how it is.

[earthboundmisfit]

50. Haha! C'est vrai

Indeed he loves the sound of his own voice, mais non?

[merh]

9. They are scared of Dean because he has backbone

and our support. He has done better than McAssie did in the job, without sucking up to or bowing down to the corporations.

They are scared of Dean because they are afraid of us, the grassroots members of the party, the true patriots. :patriot:

They hate us for our freedoms & our drive! :evilgrin:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. Biden, the Mouth that Never Stops? A sure fire Green vote getter.

The guy who likes "enlightened Nationalism". Who voted for the war and backs the occupation? The guy who snuggles up to the insurance companies? The Scoop Jackson of 2005?

Looks like the pantywaist wing of the party is betting on Senator Hairplugs and enlisting the media to back them.

[ananda]

11. Oh pulleezze..

.. give me a break.

Dean is doing fine. Biden needs to crawl back under the DLC rock.

Sue

[kaitykaity]

12. Galling for sure.

What kind of birthday gifts does your brother who works
for Bush give you, Bob?

Bastard.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. On the contrary, I think more and more of us beaten down Dems are

saying, "Hey, that guy DOES speak for me!"

[Guaranteed]

14. Schieffer, don't act like you know what's going on with the Democrats.

Or with anything, really.

[KittyWampus]

32. "or with anything"! LOL

:D

[tishaLA]

15. This is the new pundit talking point

Matthews used it recently, too. "America wants moderation" and we are looking toward the middle etc., etc., etc. This is so they can make McCain (or Guiliani) and Biden (or Bayh) "reasonable" alternatives to the "nuts" in the party. They did the same thing with Schwarzenegger in CA. How's that working out for us?

[Gay Green]

33. Speaking of Ah-noldt...

...before the November Selection the Pubs were all ears for amending our Constitution so that Ahnie could run in 2008. Now all talk of that is dead, replaced with talk of amending our Constitution so that Shrub can run in 2008.

[PurityOfEssence]

16. Another smug Texas thug trying to skew world opinion

The right fears anger; they know its power.

[charlyvi]

17. Um. Since when do Dems have only one voice?

I'm proud, very proud, that we have many voices. Dean, Biden, Edwards, Kerry, H and B Clinton. We don't march lockstep to anyone single spokesman's words. We're a very stubborn party!

[dalaigh lllama]

44. Exactly! n/t

[LightningFlash]

18. Oh good grief, Joe Biden!???

Biden's the biggest DINO in the entire party. This is all a setup, another corporate hashjob. Pay no attention to Biden and his minions...

[acmavm]

19. Okay, I'm gonna date myself again but everytime I hear the name Joe

Biden I still picture that arrogant mysoginist nasty piece of shit at the Clarence Thomas hearings.

The way Anita Hill was treated was a low down dirty shame, and Biden, well Biden was Biden.

I hate Joe Bide. I really mean hate. People save the 'we don't want to take ourselves down to yadda yadda yadda' because I do not care. There are some people worthy of hate, bush** and Biden (who has now become biden to me, self aggrandizing bastard that he is) are two at the top of my list.

[kath]

58. Thanks, acmavm - people should NEVER forget what an asshole JB was at the

Clarence Thomas hearings.

[Tomee450]

61. I used to like Biden

but he has become all talk. Also, at the Thomas hearings, Biden could have called other witnesses to support Hill but declined to do so.

[Jackpine Radical]

20. Oh, bullshit. I wish they'd quit trying

to pass off their wet dreams as reality.

[Quixote1818]

21. Tweetie was ripping Dean as well. So was much of the panel. nt

[killbotfactory]

22. Biden?

He speaks for the republicans.

[mistertrickster]

23. Notice how the media is obsessed with what Democrats SAY and

not what Republicans DO?

Dick Durbin says that a Gitmo prisoner might feel like he's in a Nazi concentration camp and OMG! "that man has to apologize!" -- the talking heads just go ballistic.

But run the national debt to historic highs or invade a country on lies and it's -- yawn -- business as usual, nothing to see here.

[Cleita]

24. Well, if they say Dean's disintegrating then it must be true.

What a load of crap! I think it's time for Dean to go on AAR America on each person's show, like Al Franken and Randi Rhodes, especially Randi Rhodes just to talk about what's relevant to Democrats. Since those shows are heard by a lot more people than Democrats, it should show the lie for what it is.

[Straight Shooter]

25. I'm in a bad mood. So BITE ME, Bob. eom

[mistertrickster]

27. Don't forget--Biden already ran for president once, and got busted

for PLAGIARISM.

I don't think he'll be able to run again even if he wanted to . . .

[w13rd0]

28. Might I take a moment...

...to remind everyone that it is Biden who chaired the committee to explore the "threat posed by Iraq". He's a tool, and if they manage to secure for him the nomination, it'll be neocon or neocon for President. So FUCK BOB the friggin Bush Tool.

[Gay Green]

36. John/Jeb vs. Joe/Joe

As in Biden/Lieberman

:puke:

[Zorra]

29. No Joe. No, no, no. No means no,

I hope that is clear enough.

[Bluebear]

42. And just in case that wasn't clear enough....

NO!!!!!!!!

[Stirk]

30. Keep dreamin', Bob.

Poor Bob is desperately hoping to maintain the status quo. Sorry guy, Republicrats went out of style when the GOP went fascist. People want someone who stands up and takes a position, rather than just assuming the position.

[KittyWampus]

31. What An Asshole. How Transparent Can He Be? Is There Any Question

at this point that the Corporate Media is a GOP tool?

ALL of it.

Not just Fox.

[Malikshah]

34. And Schieffer is on crack

sold to him by Cokie Roberts and the other crackwhores in the media.

[Pithy Cherub]

53. Has CBS told Schieffer he has a limited shelf life

as an "anchor." The last thing he really reported on is probably the 1968 moon landing...

[shance]

35. In Schieffer and Biden's DREAMS!!!!! Best laugh of my day.

Yall keep popping the peyote ya hear?

:)

[Algorem]

37. Schieffer works for Bush,just like his brother.Rather out,Schieffer in.How

conveeeenient.

[Tinoire]

38. In Schieffer and Biden's effing dreams!

The media is not afraid of Dean, the Democratic establishment is and it all has to do with that golden egg ;)

[havocmom]

39. Bob 'bush* made my brother an ambassador' Schieffer dares to tell US

who our voice is?
Wrong again, Bob

[Ms. Clio]

40. Scheiffer is a Bush pal -- they used to hang out at Rangers' games

BIDEN as the "real spokesman of the Democratic Party"??? ROFLMAO.

[Lexingtonian]

41. I haven't fully decided yet

But I think Bob Schieffer is stuck in 1975, Tim Russert in 1985, and Chris Matthews in 1995.

And we don't have a time machine to bring them up to the present.

Dean is a fellow they were comfortable with; he was playing the political early 90s during his Pres. campaign. That they understood.

Dean has since figured out that this was the problem, not the solution. And in past year his politics have pulled past those of 1995 and past those of 2000.

But folks like Schieffer don't get it. They do 'get' Joe Biden, though.

In short: Schieffer's a fogey.

[stickdog]

43. I saw him on my local SF TV station today. He said Dean's biggest

problems are that he can't raise any funds and that when the VP says you're helping the cause of Repukes, you know it's time to call it quits.

That should tell you a lot about Schieffer's journalistic integrity on this issue.

[Lecky]

46. God...

Republicans are like a group of gossipy middle school girls. They pick one target and all gang up on that person for the most petty shit.

I still love Dean though, can't help it.

[Bluebear]

47. Good analogy and welcome to DU! n/t

[justgamma]

48. Dean speaks for me!!

http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?Dean&1

[barb162]

51. "They" are going to get rid of Dean

[Raksha]

52. Repukes brag about "creating their own reality."

Looks like they're at it again!

[tibbir]

55. Dean definitely gets them running scard.

[Mass]

56. No surprise coming from Bob Schieffer

Biden is always available to go on his show.

May be it is time for the Democrats to push other people on these TV shows. Biden is not the only Democrat able to speak.

[Snotcicles]

57. Schieffer must have got done early

polishing *'s rectum and thought he would do what he does second best and start lying about good people.

[Oversea Visitor]

59. DIVIDE AND CONQUER

A united democrats party is strong but I think you guys are so divide that its not funny. Comes a time when one need to put the country need first above party, personality and all that propoganda shit.

Politic is sickening.... it US when choice is just A or B it become so dangerous.

[merh]

60. spin

Oh what a tangle web we weave
When first we practice to decieve.

[Algorem]

62. Schieffer should have his cage rattled loudly and constantly til he re-

tires to wherever Bush Crime Family associates go.Enough f'ing the nation,Bob.

[Snivi Yllom]

63. that's a bunch of crap

Dean is not going anywhere. Biden has always been a very public figure and may indeed run in 08, but Dean is NOT disintegrating.

[spanone]

65. I'd say it's more like Dean is stepping up to the plate to kick some ass.
