3. Dan Rather is quite the whore.

I almost threw up watching him interview Toby Keith, he was practically twirling his hair and batting his lashes at the big 'ol masculine redneck.

He must be a size queen or something. Forceful. Hmmm.

6. Not surprising...Dan Rather said that

George W Bush is his commander in chief and wherever he is needed all * has to do is direct him. Not an exact quote but I think I got close to what Rather Dan said in the aftermath of 9/11.

Rather Dan is also a Texan. Why can't we have more Texans like Bill Moyers?

8. Dan wasn't alone--CNN's John King, & the Tweety Gang

were all full of sympathy for our forceful petulant freedom loving ironfisted pretzeldent!

Kill me.

9. NBC, ABC weren't any better. I don't know who they were listening to

but I'm quite sure it must have been someone other than the chump-in-chief.
At least a few reporters who were there asked some decent questions...not they received anything approximating a response.

10. I swear Bush could strip to his socks, swing from a chandelier and...

throw feces at the press crews and Dan Rather would say "Forceful, Steady, Confident"...

12. Whores, all of them. This is absolute proof that the broadcast

media is solidly in his camp. Totally. With almost $200M and this kind of control over the media, we must work hard at door to door and other forms of communication to get the vote out.

13. I think these anchors and reporters

are afraid for their lives..."Kenneth, what is the frequency?"

It's surreal - my kid was wincing. Don't these guys know what the hell is going on here?

15. He didn't look at all confident to me

He looked apprehensive, defensive, lost, vacuous, combative, self-righteous and lacking in intelligence. I got this close up of his sweaty brow - I think it's telling...
