"Maybe they like his hair. Go figure."

From Inside Politics today.

"HOLLAND: In fact, Kerry, as a 60-year-old, is losing among 60- year-olds. It's a very puzzling thing, something else that's probably troubling to the Kerry camp.

MORTON: Behind with vets, up with non-vets. Behind with 60- year-olds, up with 18 to 35-year-olds. Maybe they like his hair. Go figure.

Bruce Morton, CNN, Washington."

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0405/19/ip.01.html

Fuck you Bruce Morton, you overpaid shill! You trivialize important issues and events, you dismiss the concerns of millions. People like you are the reason tragedies like 9/11 happen. Once, fuck you forever!

1. I normally turn Judy off but today I didn't. Her ENTIRE show was

dedicated to slamming Kerry. The picture of Kerry with the beret, holding a bottle wine in front of the Eifell tower so they could discuss Kerry's "frenchness".

It was, as usual, a horrible display of journalism.

2. I almost threw something at the TV....

when I heard his report earlier this afternoon.

It's as stupid as Chris Matthews saying he really didn't really get why people hated Bush so much.

Hell-oooooo????

Maybe those 18-35 year old women are fearing the loss of their reproductive RIGHTS asshole!

Maybe those 18-35 year old males are fearing getting hauled in for Bush & Co.'s ILLEGAL WAR asshole!

Just maybe those 18-35 are fearing for their damn FUTURES asshole!

Morton deserves an email lesson. :mad:

3. Or maybe they like the fact

That he can get through an entire sentence without saying um and uh ten times or smirking as though he just LOVES the idea of the rape rooms that he's inevitably talking about. Could that be it, Bruce? Fucking Rove shills, all of them :mad:

4. Odd that Kerry is beating Bush in the polls, yet the media claims

that somehow Bush is more popular with people. Don't believe it. They are in SPIN MODE.....BIGTIME!

5. Kerry is losing 60-year-olds?

I read a number of polls where he does well among seniors, a group that votes in heavy numbers.

6. Yes, you did

I quit watching this stuff, I'm afraid it's shortening my life. Although with Bush, maybe that's not a bad thing. Or maybe that's their plan.

But I have seen the polls just posted a couple of days ago and he was leading in every demographic except 30-45 or so. So I don't know what the hell these people are talking about.

Sorry ol' Mort, don't take it personally!
