ha... ha... Wolf Blitzer -- John McCain might be the new Ted Kennedy
What did they put in Wolfs' coffee for him to come up with
such a statement....woot! :rofl:

I was talking earlier with some friends and I asked, who might emerge as the new Ted Kennedy in the United States Senate? You know who a lot of people think it might be? … That would be Senator McCain.

What an insult to Senator Ted Kennedy.

"New" and "McCain" should never be in the same sentence.
He's not the "new" Ted, but the same, "old" shit.

Why is the media so stuck on this?

buying his dope from Dan Quayle who, as we all know, was by his own assessment the new Jack Kennedy. :eyes:

It always seeks to exploit. People aren't sentient beings in their own right, just useful or expendable objects to manipulate.

35. Just sent the following.
Edited on Sat Aug-29-09 06:57 AM by snake in the grass
I'm boiling mad at this so-called news outlet.


To whom it may concern.

I've followed the bumblings of Wolf Blitzer for many years now and I just can't figure out what he has to offer CNN, or any other news outlet for that matter. Walter Mitty would give a better journalist.

Tonight, however, Mr. Blitzer took the proverbial cake with his suggestion that "some friends" (another form of the journalistically weak "some say") suggested John McCain would emerge as the next Ted Kennedy. This is one of the most outrageously idiotic statements I've ever had the misfortune of hearing from a so-called main stream news outlet, and you, like Mr. Blitzer, should be ashamed of yourselves for promoting such absolute drivel. Actually, drivel is still too positive a description for the blather Mr. Blitzer produces. John McCain's Senate record doesn't even come close to what Ted Kennedy achieved during his tenure and to suggest that he will be the "new" anything is a joke.

I know this mail will have no effect and, most likely, it will not even be read. I'd like to hope, however, that someone actually does read it. After all, you've got your bottom line to consider, and real news is not as interesting as the intellectual flatulence you produce. While Mr. Blitzer pontificates on the future actions of Senator McCain, the Sibel Edmonds story continues to spiral down the drain. I don't get it, but I assure you, I will continue not to watch your channel. There are better things to do with my life...like sleeping.

Wolf Blizter, gravitas without a gram of substance.


We need to boycott them all. Better yet, cancel your cable/sat subscriptions and throw out the tube altogether. We are enslaving ourselves with this feces.

Thank you for your time,

snake

38. hmm, there's a workable idea ...
... ALL liberals/progressives/democrats cancel their cable subscriptions, at least until the FOX propaganda channel is moved from basic service to premium. It would probably do wonders to not watch TV for several months anyway. How 'bout it guys?

39. Oh, come one now, John McCain has a stupendous record of achievement in the Senate.
And here are the high points:


















OK, I got nuthin'.

He has close to 30 years of coasting, and grabbing whatever money he could from wealthy backers.

48. He has been pushing this idea since Tuesday.
I know McCain is looking for some extra recognition in the Senate, but I don't think he is going to get it trying to be the next lion. He doesn't have the compassion for people as Senator Kennedy did. McCain is more self-absorbed.
