Boycott CNN! In speeches, Bush has openly bragged and joked about being a "bad student"
"If you're a C student, you, too can become president of the USA ... haw haw haw haw ..."

So, Kerry makes a comment about Bush's joke (GWB was a bad student, and he got us stuck in Iraq), and CNN takes the GOP talking points and runs them into the ground.

I'm writing CNN a letter, telling them I have watched their channel since it first went on the air on my cable system many, many years ago. If they don't stop reporting that Kerry was talking about the troops as if it were fact, when anyone with a BRAIN knows he was talking about "bad student Bush" ... I won't be watching CNN anymore.

We need T-shirts that say, "George Bush: BAD STUDENT" -- he certainly shows himself to be a BAD STUDENT of history every damned day.

1. George Bush is a bad _______________ (fill in the blank)
There are lots of options.

I realize it was a joke, but at this point I would expect the Dems to be more careful of what they say and do. The goal at this point is to WIN THE ELECTION, and we don't need anything getting in the way of that goal.

Kerry of all people knows what the GOP is capable of - he should have been more careful and made sure his words and their meaning were clear.

2. CNN is THRIVING on the Kerry blunder. They are loving this
Last night it was Lou Dobbs spreading the GOP propaganda.

This morning a smiling Miles O'Brien kept on harping the concept that Kerry mocked the troops, over and over again. At no point they even referred to the fact he was talking about Bush.

CNN is worse than Fox News. At least Murdoch's minions are openly pro-GOP.

4. I sent them and e-mail and blasted their
ridiculous behavior. Mentioned that bush was so stupid that he didn't know anything about the history of the sects in Iraq and how badly they hated each other. Real smart man. Got us into a war he didn't even know what side he wanted to win.
