Woodruff has new poll, let me guess Bush now leads 55-40

[59millionmorons]

She say's she has surprising results.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

1. Please post what the Whore Extraordinaire reports

for those of us in CubeHell. Thanks!
:hi:

[calico1]

22. Notice how most people polled responded

to him being a trial lawyer? Guess that trial lawyer bashing is working for the GOP! LOL.

[physioex]

2. How can you trust...

A 60+ year old woman with $50K worth of plastic surgery wearing a raggedy wig? :puke:

[spooky3]

7. I don't like her either but it has nothing to do with her age or looks.

Women should not have to be young and pretty to be trusted.

In other cultures experience and wisdom are valued; let's try it here.

[physioex]

14. You didn't read my post carefully....

And I completely agree. It sickens me that people won't age gracefully and would rather look like something they arent.....

[spooky3]

23. I read it; you may have missed my point.

That is, let's focus on her bad behavior rather than age or looks.

[demwing]

24. Her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery is a part of her behavior

And reveals something of the superficial nature of the woman's viewpoint.

I think it plays directly on her ability to inspire trust.

[physioex]

41. Exactly.....Thank You.....EOM

[a kennedy]

46. Yeah, let's talk plastic surgery.....

Remember Gretta Van Sustern? (sp) She was the legal analyst during the OJ Simpson trial. She now has her own show on CNBC, I think, and SHE'S HAD PLASTIC SURGERY!! (I really thought she was so much more knowledgeable about the law then that Roger Cossiac(sp) but, anyway, she did go to UW Madison (in Wisconsin) so I was sooooo proud of her, when she was doing the trial, and when she got her own show I thought great, a local does good. I looked in to see her, and oh my gosh, she looks as plastic as all the other women "in the spotlight" do. Sorry for belittling some of the women anchors and correspondences but......that plastic makes them all look the same, IMHO.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

26. That's very proper of you

but she's too ugly for my gay self not to make fun of that. My bad! :evilgrin:

[Carolina]

28. I loathe her too, BUT

unlike you, I say when you stoop to her level of prostitution, everything about you is fair game.

She's an ugly, lying HAG who would be well-cast in the Wizard of Oz as the wicked witch surrounded by West Wing monkeys. LOL

[physioex]

43. Bwahahahahaha....

Kinda what I was saying, bit more crude.... :evilgrin:

[angryinoville]

42. That's not a wig. I think she's attractive

[physioex]

44. Ewwwww...

Let me guess you think Ann Coulter is attractive too.... :puke: :puke:

[angryinoville]

56. No, Ann Coulter is hideous...

I just don't like anyone being broken down because of their looks.

[physioex]

57. I agree, but read post 24...It pretty much sums things up...EOM

[underpants]

3. Sounds like the polled the White House press corp

I was expecting THOSE type polls to come out next week with much discussion about how it was that Edwards gave no big boost to Kerry. :think:

[Liberal Veteran]

4. I'm betting the new poll will say Bush 99.999-0.001

I mistrust most poll numbers now, particularly any poll that gives Nader 6 percent.

[malachibk]

5. What's the surprise?

Any news?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

6. Judy Whoredruff: "President Bush leads John Kerry 60% to 30% now.

As our "poll" has shown, the American people do not want a Trial Lawyer"

:puke:

:grr:

[Connie_Corleone]

9. That's not the real poll results is it?

That seem pretty unbelievable.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

10. No, but it's close to it.

[Justice]

11. What Are the Real Numbers?

[LittleApple81]

8. I had never watched this before. I will never watch again. n/t

[Langis]

13. I try not too, I hate her

:argh:

[papau]

12. Poll: Edwards viewed favorably (CNN's Judy Woodruff is surprised)

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/07/07/poll.edwards/index.html

Poll: Edwards viewed favorably
Inexperience seen as a weakness
Wednesday, July 7, 2004 Posted: 1:04 PM EDT (1704 GMT)


(CNN) -- Tuesday's selection of Sen. John Edwards as the Democratic vice presidential candidate is being viewed favorably by most American voters, according a new poll, although they do see the one-term senator's limited experience in political office as a liability.

A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, taken Tuesday, found that 64 percent of registered voters surveyed called the choice of Edwards excellent or pretty good, while 28 percent termed it only fair or poor.<snip>

Still, two-thirds of the registered voters queried said the selection of Edwards would have no impact on their vote in November, while about a quarter said it would make them more likely to vote for presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry..... (Cheney"s) favorable rating was 43 percent, with 44 percent viewing him unfavorably and 13 percent unsure.<snip>

However, 57 percent still said they thought Edwards was qualified to serve as president if called upon to fill the office, compared to 29 percent who said he was not.<snip>

The poll showed that 67 percent of voters surveyed said his work as a trial lawyer was a strength, while only 27 percent viewed it as a weakness.<snip>

[fertilizeonarbusto]

15. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, Judy Baby, it seems the American people are getting back to that great habit of theirs, thinking for themselves. I guess if this keeps up you'll have to go into giving real blow-jobs instead of figurative ones.

[Justice]

16. I thought we saw this poll yesterday on CNN

and as I recall, Edwards polled higher than any other VP ever.

They showed Cheney, Lieberman, Gore etc and showed their numbers as in the 50s. Judy is smoking something.

It seems to me that a reporter should report the information and not characterize it as "surprising"

[frylock]

35. Judy is smoking something.

see post 15.

[jdsmith]

18. This poll was on CNN this morning at 8 est

And she's trumpeting it as "new"?

[Beetwasher]

19. This Is "Surprising" Because The Whore's

have been peddling propoganda for so long, they just assume the public listens to them and allows them to forumulate opinion.

"Gee, I'm surprised, how could this be? People thinking for themselves and not drinking our Kool Aid?!? How surprising!"

[a kennedy]

47. I just made this picture my desktop scene

Dang it this a fantastic picture...... thanks.

[NewJerseyDem]

50. They always say their polls are "surprising"!

It is just so that people stay tuned to see the poll numbers. Sometimes, they will say that the polls will be surprising and they will be just what everyone expected. This isn't a sign of bias, it is just a sign that they want more people to watch their show.

[Blue_State_Elitist]

17. Fuck Woodruff

She the same as Hannity, just more subtle. She sneaks in her Conservative agenda instead of throwing it your face. She's more offensive in my mind.

[bushwakker]

20. No thanks*

[physioex]

21. Ewwwwww....

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[RetroLounge]

48. Don't You mean Cheney Woodruff?

EOM

RL

[West Coast Democrat]

25. I posted the results taken from the Gallup website

Judy is surprised that people really don't feel so negatively toward trial lawyers, is that it?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x571814

[RoyGBiv]

27. "Scary"

She said the fact that, by a ratio of 2:1, people view Edward's experience as a trial lawyer favorably is "scary."

Mmkay.

[West Coast Democrat]

29. Did she REALLY say "scary"?

Does this prove to her that no one pays attention to her show?

[displacedtexan]

30. Yes, she did! eom

[Connie_Corleone]

31. She thinks it's scary?

Most people don't give a s**t if he was a trial lawyer. Only the republicans do because they can't think of anything else to attack Edwards on.

[RoyGBiv]

32. Lincoln...

I wish, the next time some modern Republican tries to claim Lincoln, that someone would point out that he was a very successful trial lawyer and a rather wealthy one by the standards of the time.

[Auntie Bush]

33. Just goes to prove what side she is on.

She's the one who is :scary: Just another Retug hypocrite.

[BluegrassDem]

34. Same poll

This was the same poll they revealed yesterday. No news here.

[yellowcanine]

36. What does she think about companies whose negligence allowed a little girl

to have her intestines sucked out by a pool drain? Edwards got some justice for that little girl and her family. It takes a good trial lawyer to make companies pay for their criminal negligence.

[javadu]

37. I Sent CNN an Email About This, Please do the Same (n/m)

[faithnotgreed]

40. i think theres been a misunderstanding

i think its fantastic and important that we are involved with our writing and time etc but if we are talking about the same inside politics show with judy then she did not say scary.

please see my post or the other person who posted the same thing as i did but briefer! for what happened.

thank you. i dont mean any slight to you i hope you know that. and there is a lot that the media skews, but this was one case where it was a misunderstanding i think

thank you so much.

[NNadir]

49. I send these folks at the Government "Information" Agency an email every

damn day.

I'm sure they forward it directly to John Ashcroft. I don't care. Ashcroft certainly is far less intelligent than Gorbachev, and Gorbachev fell, controlled media and all.

[Still_Loves_John]

38. No she didn't

Bill Schneider said something like "so it looks like the conservative argument that 'trial lawyers are scary' won't work" And Judy kinda laughed and said "scary," not saying the results were scary but laughing at his choice of word.

[RoyGBiv]

51. Yes, she did.

Here's CNN's transcript of the exchange, with their punctuation.

--
SCHNEIDER: Republicans also intend to attack Edwards for being a trial lawyer. How scary is that? Not very, because by better than 2- 1, voters see Edwards experience as a trial lawyer as more of a strength than a weakness -- Judy.

WOODRUFF: Scary!

SCHNEIDER: Right.

WOODRUFF: Interesting. OK. Bill Schneider, thanks very much.

SCHNEIDER: Sure.
--

And this doesn't allow for the cues provided by body language, her constant smirk, etc.

Given her track record, I hardly think she meant it as an innocent comment or one directed towards the choice of language. It was a dig.

[Still_Loves_John]

55. Well, yes, she technically did

if you read my post you would see that I acknowledge that. I'm just saying that it's disingenuous to say that she was calling the results scary when she said that. As your post shows, Bill Schneider sarcastically uses the word "scary" to describe the Republican "lawyer" line, and since he said it kind of funny, Judy said it again, not calling the results scary, but by way of commenting on the strange choice of words.

[faithnotgreed]

58. yes. agree fully. this time, judy doesnt deserve the bad rap

[RoyGBiv]

60. Many other people saw the same thing I did...

Someone else started a thread about it, in fact, not long after I'd posted that comment.

But, if you truly want to defend Judy, go ahead.

[RoyGBiv]

59. I totally disagree with your interpretation n/t

[faithnotgreed]

39. if we saw the same thing, that wasnt what she said. bill schneider

brought up would the people see it as "scary" or some such thing that edwards was a trial lawyer, but he said no, that by a margin of 2 to 1, people were fine with edwards as a trial lawyer

then it was back to judy and she said , in her odd or awkward way (a bit fluffy i guess), she just said "scary huh?" pause then mumbled something like "uh ok"
it was the end of segment, going to commercial

anyway thats what i saw. i just want to be fair. they have a lot to answer for and i agree its hard to watch but today at least these shows, have been positive i think

and also cnn has been giving a lot of attention to edwards which im thankful for. i mean inside politics didnt even show * or his comment about "cheney could be president" until more than a half hour into the show! it was all about edwards

they also showed the dems response (on the screen) to * and co attack on edwards: "they went from 0 to negative in under 24 hours"

what a great shot. and like i said they left it on the screen long enough to get a good read and they read it out loud of course.

this with paul begala to day on crossfire, it has been a good bit of pushing the lies down to the ground where they should be and good coverage of edwards.

[RoyGBiv]

52. See my other reply n/t

[LoZoccolo]

[kwolf68]

45. Damn problem

This is the problem with debate in this nation. Democrats are always having to defend themselves.

First, they have to defend themselves as “Liberal” and now one has to defend the fact he’s a “trail lawyer”. By all accounts, a highly successful and brilliant one at that. We had Kerry having to defend whether or not his medals were “duly earned”.

Now what is the alternative? Two corrupt power whores who are both oilmen…with direct contacts to the wealthiest, most powerful and most dangerous companies in the world and the willingness to let said companies craft legislation without any credible suspect from any democratic representation. Meanwhile, Bush’s “claim to fame” is a highly UN-successful businessman and an AWOL member of the Texas National Guard.

Why in the hell is Edwards having to defend his chosen profession and what he has done or not done. It is time the media start asking how Bush/Dicks connections to oil companies is making a f***** mockery out of our democracy.

[eaprez]

54. I think Edwards is going to prove to be .....

...quite capable of defending himself against those attacks...same magic he works in the courtroom he will work against those who seek to demonize him.
