Anybody catch Dan Bartlett's pathetic routine of lies on NBC and ABC?
They are the WORST liars in the world. A 10 year-old can tell how insincere their rhetoric is.


Just pathetic.

5. The new catch-phrase seems to be
variants of "ironing things out..."

9. Well since Rove is in deep hiding
I guess they have no choice but to trot out Bartlett more often.

12. And they're not even *trying* to sound sincere
I swear, they must literally have a cue card from which they quickly read in order to get in front of the next camera.

If I was a producer for ABC, NBC, etc. I'd ignore them completely.

13. You Know What Happened
Bartlets's secretary called ABC, NBC - said Mr. Bartlett will be on your shows tomorrow AM to talk about the protestors. Any questions?,... I didn't think so. Goodbye!

He skipped CBS, knowing their ratings are so, so, and not worth his precious time.

Yesterday on Ed Schultz, he had one of the guys that was in the CNN special "Dead Wrong" - he said CNN was so paranoid, so worried to get it right - as to not be CBS'ed - they called him up 8 weeks ago - had him come to the studio's - review what he said and asked "are you sure this is correct, is there anything you want to change"? He mentioned that he did an interview with Joey Chen (sp) on CBS - which never aired, - Chen told him, the media is so terrified of the Bush people. Now that's sad.

17. Could be. But, he might have been on CBS, too, this morning
my local affiliate doesn't switch to the CBS Morning Show. They just show bits and pieces thru 9am

15. Reminiscent of the 60s
It's really nothing new - the wheels of this "war" are coming off and the politicians are still trying to defend the decision.

The good thing is that the turn against the war is happening much faster than it did in the 60s. With Cindy Sheehan's help, popular opposition to this war has multiplied almost overnight.

Review LBJ's "final throes" of support/justification for Vietnam for what happens next.
