oh for Gawd's Sake!

:banghead:

[DoYouEverWonder]

1. The M$M and GOP must be really scared of her

they are spending so much time trying to tear her down before she's even in charge.

Could it be they know that Bush & Cheney will likely be forced to resign once the investigations start and the indictments come rolling in? She will be next in line to be President, if both are removed from office at the same time after all.

[JI7]

7. they certainly don't want someone who is too outspoken

she dared to do something like question the war and has made it a priority on bringing the soldiers home.

after everything the CHimpanzee has done with the lying and all the death and destruction from 9/11, to Iraq to Katrina. they make Pelosi into something like this ?

of course these are the assholes who decide who they want to be damaged goods . stupid fuckers will never call out the administration on their wrongdoings.

[JI7]

2. what a bunch of disgusting whores

i really really hate fuckers.

[liberaldemocrat7]

3. Oh Ghod, I haven't watched CNN for a year.

Who cares!

[tabasco]

17. Been more than a year for me.

I tune in from time to time and I am really shocked how transparent the corporate media has become.

It's a big problem for those of us trying to get democracy here in America.

[Nikki Stone1]

4. Predictable anti-female slur

But then, everyone was so gleeful that the donald called Condi a bitch. The slurs against women AS women seem not to be off limits in politics.

[Lars39]

18. Yes, pretty obvious, isn't it.

'Damaged goods'...meaning a woman who has been raped, or who is no longer a virgin.

[Nikki Stone1]

33. Precisely.

This is why we should do our best to avoid making these same kinds of anti-female comments on DU.

[rman]

26. Anti Dem slur; overtly partisan,

since they never said anything like that about Bush or the anyone in the Republican party in spite of all the scandals about corruption and pedophilia.

[Nikki Stone1]

34. "Damaged goods" is an old colloquial term for a women who has been raped

or is sexually experienced before marriage.

I know I harp on this, but you need to look at the language news outlets use.

[originalpckelly]

5. CNN: FULL OF CRAP?

:shrug:

[EST]

6. In my book, Pelosi is a genius-

If I had a pick for '08 executive ticket, it would be
Clark/Pelosi

[Donkeykick]

8. Pelosi was just...

caught between a rock and a hard place. Both people--Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD)and John P. Murtha (D-PA)would make great choices, but the party chose someone who helped them get there to begin with, so Pelosi is not really damaged. Two great people...just two hard choices to make.

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. This is how democracy is supposed to work

too bad the powers-that-be fear it so much.

[krispos42]

31. Hoyer won by a ratio of 2:1, Lott won by 1 vote

I'd say LOTT was 'damaged goods'!

Idiots.

[DearAbby]

39. My thoughts exactly

Lott won by one single vote...it appears there is a rift in the GOP party, right down the middle. No media exposure about that little tidbit. I wonder why :freak:

[madrchsod]

10. that`s just the larest crap from karly and crew

read the same shit today in the local newspaper.

[unblock]

11. is cnn damaged goods?

[aquart]

29. You're still watching, aren't you?

[unblock]

32. i gave up when they changed their format, what, 5 years ago?

[Hubert Flottz]

12. "Spoiled Goods"

And he's the best Goods the GOPers had...

[Cass]

13. This is getting ridiculous. Pelosi hasn't even been sworn in yet for crying out loud.

This angers me but doesn't surprise me because I read an article posted here in the last week or so quoting Tom Delay (of all people) who said they were going to attack Pelosi and undermine her as Speaker. They don't care what's best for the country, they are just going to attack anything and everything from the other side. For them its all about preserving power and if its at the expense of the country so be it.

This kind of behavior is a disgrace in itself, but its an outrage that the media willingly participates in this. The media as it exists today should hang its collective head in shame. They consistently refuse to objectively report real news while pulling a juvenile stunt like this.

[Amonester]

38. Not surprised: their multi-billionaire owners made a killing...

(pun intended) since BushCo succeeded their coup back in 2000 (they stole more money out of the Treasury than they made from their corporate media merger$) and they have no intention to ever let that easy robbery of theirs slip away anytime soon.

A TRUE democratic (fair) MSM would rather investigate and publicize these ugly facts:

Don't count on it. They hold the money (including most of the taxpayer's) so they don't care (unless their obvious propaganda is to be made illegal, and even then...). :grr:

[a kennedy]

14. I'm back to NOT watching CNN, CNBC, MSNBC (except for KO), I just

can not deal with all their BS'ng of the next Speaker of the House. Just can't handle all the talk. :cry: I hate 24 hours "news" channels. *sigh*

[JDPriestly]

15. If anyone is damaged goods, it's Bush.

He was forced to fire the Secretary of Defense because the Secretary was incompetent. Bush's approval ratings fell from some of the highest in history following 9/11 to some of the lowest before the 2006 election.

Pelosi's star is rising. Bush's is falling. What kind of nonsense is CNN spewing?

[lonestarnot]

16. Nothing good or goods about that slimey son-of-a-bitch!

[LisaL]

19. I find this really offensive.

[gratuitous]

20. And yet they have the nerve to keep looking for a pony in Iraq

Yeah, a Democrat's "damaged" before she's even in office; but the jury's still out on whether Iraq can be salvaged or not, and you can't call it a civil war (after all, where's Robert E. Lee?), and if we all just wait one more Friedman Unit (six months), then we'll see it all come together under Dear Leader's master plan. But Pelosi? A failure before she even begins, according to CNN.

[Old and In the Way]

21. CNN: Republican Propagandists?

nt

[Jim Sagle]

22. Whadda buncha shit from CNN.

[rman]

23. Oh sure, but Bush isn't, nor is Rumsfeld,

nor the entire Republican party and their neocon policies.

[peacetalksforall]

24. George and Dick get a six year honeymoon and they don't even

allow her to get engaged or plan the wedding.

Someone I know who I really thought was 'getting it' - meaning what is happening to us - just told me he thought FOX was partisan-right wing and CNN was liberal. There is a long way to go yet. I'm feeling down about that person's understanding. I think I assumed. I had to give an extra lesson.

I think we've already seen our future - the right wing networks provided by Murdoch Time Warner GE Microsoft Disney Viacom and all the other corporations in their owndership families are going to try to character assassinate every Dem member of the Senate and Congress.

[BlackVelvet04]

25. What a sexist thing for them to ask.....

have you EVER heard a male politician referred to as "damaged goods?"

[lisby]

27. How much cash to you think Karl had to lay out...

to get this to run?

They are scared shitless of Pelosi, aren't they?

Lisby

[Kahuna]

28. So glad I stopped watching CNN more than 2 years ago.

They reek. :puke:

[Jawja]

30. That is exactly why

CNN is not on in my house right now and WON'T be.

[Beelzebud]

35. They might as well just go ahead and put: Pelosi - Rode Hard And Put Away Wet?

Back before the election, when all the "conservative" commentators could do was say Leader Pelosi over and over again, I KNEW we should prepare for a sexist assault.

[stepnw1f]

36. CNN's Agenda: Anti-Democratic

Pretty obvious to me.

[kentuck]

37. It's time to catapult the media and CNN..

They are becoming more and more irrelevant.
