My obligatory CHANGE THE GODDAM CHANNEL thread
You forced yourself to watch the speech. Do not subject yourself to the slobbering sounds that will come when the media asshats start kissing Bush's butt.

Change the channel. Go outside. No more TV.

1. Wolf and Paula not so bad -- said applause was on cue, pointed out...
would face criticism for linkage of Saddam and 9/11. I was shocked.

23. Me too!
Paula Zahn especially tried to get across that connecting 9/11 to Iraq would only get him in trouble. Guergen thinks we'll all be fooled by the mention of 9/11.

She just asked Biden did he agree that the speech would be effective. Joe says, 'the American people are smarter than that'!!

4. Actually, I just took off the "MUTE."
<LOL> It's easier for me to listen to Wolfie spin than it is to listen to the Royal Chimp** himself.

NGU.

14. yikes
listening to the chimp is like listening to the ravings of a drunken fool at the local dive. it's entertainment.

but Wolf? there's not even a train-wreck entertainment value there.

7. I would like to follow your advice
but just so I'm clear--do you want me to change the channel, then leave the TV on when I go outside?

I only caught the last few minutes. I fortunately was watching the NBA draft, then remembered a talking monkey was going to be on TV. But in those few minutes, I did puke in my mouth a little.

Our TV is tuned into some show about sharks, (the kind in the ocean). Probably on discovery or something.
