CNN w/ a cowboy actor, Tombstone, AZ; Edwards gets love.. switch the topic
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 04:20 PM by Botany
Laid off Union Carpenter ..... "I used to be a republican .... voted that way my
whole life but now I am a Democrat."

CNN idiot reporter (dressed up as cowboy) "So who do you like?"

Carpenter/Cowboy ...... "I like John Edwards he seems to really talk about getting
the job done. Look what he did after Katrina .... "

CNN idiot reporter ...... Cutting him off, "So what about the economy is bothering
you?"

2. The son of a bitch couldn't switch the topic faster.
And I did not fall right off the "dump truck for dumb asses."

3. I saw that, too...
Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry.



(in this instance I had to laugh, though, just because Ali Velshi looked so ridiculous in his cowboy hat/down vest outfit)

4. It was a new low.
Glad you saw it too. How quick did he switch the topics? 5 seconds?

"Just so people know these guns aren't real."

Oh hell Ali Velshi .... come on by .... I will loan you an old 20 guage pump and 2 boxes of
shells .... send you out in a big field by your self and let God/Darwin/Karma take care of you.

He was a rootin' tootin' reporter.

I think Olbermann needs this clip.

6. It makes you wonder if these reporters are given marching orders
Are they expressly warned about which topics they need to avoid?

5. I'm so glad I have a real job, one that actually does something.
I could not grovel around sucking corporate ass all day just to get money.

9. Glad to be # 5. So what will the Dem Leadership do? allow Clinton to win w super
delegates, but lose in the general to McCain because she alienated so many people? or choose a Dem that all Dems, as well as independents, can support? Inquiring minds want to know!

10. Don't worry
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 04:27 PM by Botany
S. Carolina is voting on EES machines today. The same ones that
helped good old Deb Pyrce in 2006.

So giving her 700 delegates off the bat help?

My rankings

Edwards # 1

Obama # 2

Hillary # 3 you have got to be kidding me!

13. I like your rating.
How does Chuck Hagel feel about Hillary? We might have some insight on how the vote will go.

I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin' merrily along
And they sing, 'Away, too glad, you're single'
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
