Why is Pickles being given valuable news airtime & other rhetoricals
Why-the-CHEENEE is Mary CHEENEE being given valuable news airtime?

Pickles was on This Weak and on Faux News Sunday. Wingnut-bag Chris WALLACE had a double header with both Pickles AND Mary.

Is it because the male Pickles and CHENEE *won't* answer any hard questions, and with the gals on the air our intrepid reporters don't HAVE to ask any hard questions?

Haha, WALLACE got the balls up to ask Mary why daddy is PERCEIVED to be non-discussing with others: Translation:: An arrogant, autocratic, oligarchic, fascist dictator.

Why aren't the crack media interested in REAL news, not like there isn't any out there?

George STEPPENNOUPOULISS managed to fritter away the whole hour with nothing nothing NOTHING. First there was Pickles. How come no follow up on her Shakespeare-for-gangs program? How are the Mara Salva Trucha doing with that? Then he had Reese WITHERSPOON. Hey!---I was FOR her getting the Oscar BEFORE the awards. But Ms WITHERSPOON was in N'Orlins "FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE KATRINA," making Shrub look absolutely PROMPT! And the round table was worthless, with Donna BRAZILE filling the Dem seat with even LESS than ever-------I don't even remember a SINGLE thing she said. Then the Sunday Funnies and In Memoriam fill out the rest of the hour. Soon Georgie won't even have to be at the studio at all.

2. I saw the line up and thought
What is this? The Republican propaganda hour?? The only Sunday program that is worth anything normally, is Bob Schieffer's show (which I thought was pretty good today). Occasionally Snuffleupagus's show will have something pretty good. FNS is completely worthless about 90% of the time.

4. Schieffer is a Team Bush-Rove homer
Bob Schieffer's brother Tom was one of Bush's partners in the Texas Rangers MLB team owner cabal. And now Tom Schieffer is the US ambassador to Australia.

7. ugh, and he's the best of the bunch!
One thing he did that pissed me off, towards the end of the bush/Kerry debate he moderated, Kerry was spanking bush's ass on actual issues and Schieffer stops and asks them to talk about their moral values and how religion is important or some bullsh*t. That was infuriating, but I still think he generally does a good job on his show.

6. The reason was made quite plain last week by M$M....
They were talking about how, even though W's poll #'s are tanking fast, Laura still has about a 61% approval rating. I heard them musing about whether her popularity might could rub off on the blivet.

Well, I'm guessing they figured they might as well give it a try... couldn't hurt, eh?! So, here she is all over your Sunday TV screen, Mrs. Booosh... please boost Georgie's numbers up, please!!! :puke:

8. The media gives
airtime to those in "power". Hopefully, we will soon have other voices to hear from.

Midterm elections anyone? Please vote!

9. Who owns the airspace UTUSN? The Rupublican rich privileged white males
who use such outlets to pump lies and distort the truth and put on those guests who will perpetuate illusions that all is well, the rich white boys have everything under control and we just need to do more shopping.

10. To Mary: So you oppose an Amendment banning Gay marriage because
it affects YOU, eh?--------so THAT's how things work, only support or oppose issues based on whether they affect one PERSONALLY?

WALLACE asked her, that since she opposed Dems like KERRY-EDWARDS supposedly using Gay issues for political purposes, would she oppose ROVE's reviving the Constitutional Amendment thingy for his purpose of rousing his wingnut rabble base.

She started to hedge, saying she didn't know whether "Karl" was making those plans. Then she said she opposed such a political TACTIC (not specifically the AMENDMENT). WALLACE asked her whether she would speak out against it if it happens. She said, "I think I just did."

It's all about her. Not about others. So she is incapable of favoring ANY issue that might benefit others but not her directly.
