CBS News has this..Clinton: Bimbo Eruptions.....Dean: Dumbo eruptions
after leading with the horrid employment figures, CBS immediately turned to bashing Dean and Clark, citing Dean's tapes from 2000, on the Iowa caucus.

they then quoted some smug jackass who said the words from the header, about which he said that Dean is becoming a prisoner of his own ill-considered remarks.

gee...........isn't there someone else around here about which the same comment could be made.....that is, if they were ever put out for major media consumption?

1. ya mean bushisms? Those
fu*ckin' media whores don't ever get around to those. bushisms are things even a 5 year old wouldn't say but when the chief squatter says them they are swept under the Persian Carpet.

We need our own media outlet! Has anybody with alot of money who cares for Democracy noticed yet?

2. Thankfully, the current resident of the WH
has perfect elocution and is noted around the world for the flawless delivery of his speeches, his acerbic wit, and his comprehensive understanding of world events and the complex consequences that flow from actions he undertakes.

Undoubtedly, the American public will not trade in George W. Bush*, for a democrat like Howard "Dumbo" Dean who will embarrass and humiliate America on the world stage.



(Ok, cnn, faux, cbs, nbc, abc, am I repeating your mantra correctly? I wanna be a good Murkin)

3. And...oh yes...Gore claimed he invented the internet.
This is how pack journalism works. Take one out-of-context statement; mix with an improbable spin; get together with your press buddies to settle on the theme; email in your stories from your hotel room; retire to the Des Moines Ramada bar in time for happy hour.

:grr:

7. My 2-cents
tells me that blasting Dean is a sad, desperate manuever by the media. They are clearly showing favoritism... and every time they piss off the Dean camp, his donations go up. Hey freepers... cutting off your noses much?

9. Yep
And did you see the media digging up everything on Bush? No way. The Bush arrest didn't even get out until the last minute. Me thinks we should be making noise about this. :-) No more Mr. and Mrs. nice Democrats. I know that Leslie Moonves is a Democrat, but this makes me wonder if he has his own anti-Dean reasons or if he doesn't have complete control like he should.

17. They build them up, then tear them down
look for it to just get worse for Dean. Dean is not living up to his now high expectations and when that happens - look out.

He was getting a free pass before - so it's just going to even out his numbers....

18. Arrrrrggghhhhhhh

Will you Dean folks please stop playing shoot the messenger and fix the damn problem!!! I may have to talk this guy up, and I'd prefer not to get laughed at while doing so.

Who gives a rat's ass what free pass Bush gets or doesn't get - YOU'RE in the crosshairs now, not him. He may never be in them, but that's tough.

Don't tell us there isn't a problem, or talk about the "other guy." If your guy is getting this kind of negative press he has got himself one mother of a problem.

Fix it!!!
