*Headlines* get your MSM headlines on The President's speech

On the monring shows I saw Joe Scarborough turn himself into a human wet blanket. The audience behind him was silent with boredom.
Fox News had their Miss America with Joe Trippi telling some leggy beautiful "commentator" that killing Bin Laden was a "fact" - she "is tired of the President throwing it in our faces".

I know...It's Mourning Joe...and yes, they were all appropriately dressed in black this morning, LOL

but I couldn't believe (a slow learner I guess) the shitty "nothing new" "nothing detailed" blah blah

rating Joey Scar and Mark Halpern, and the others gave to the president's speech, and I couldn't believe

the crowd in that bar didn't BOO them for their bullshit report!


The President and his speech were FABULOUS!

to show, and you begin to discern a definite pattern.

Whatever the prevailing talking point may be on a given talk show set, Sammy falls subtly in line, while still mouthing just enough "left-leaning" rhetoric to retain his "lefty" credentials.

Above all, Sammy is out for Sammy. I don't believe he has any sincerely held beliefs.
