2. The Media Circus Need To Be "Relevant"
I'm avoiding a lot of the corporate media coverage these days...one can only take so much.

So typical of the bobblehead to attempt to make a "statement"...trying to be the late Jim McKay or Walter Cronkite and "capture the moment"...and most times just showing how vapid they are.

The corporate media is already backtracking...under fear from the Mighty Wurliter that the Democrats and Senator Obama are "using them". Fools.

4. It's worse on MSNBC they're showing loop after loop of BUSH in Baghdad...
...along with there incessant "Bush was right, the surge worked, Iraq is a paradise now" blather. Obama? Who's that?

But at least when Andrew Card tried to claim that Bush's "Time Horizon" was nothing like a "timeline," the entire panel laughed out loud at him. Literally laughed at him. It was priceless.

6. Obama looks like a winner to me!!
Hi friends!! From my side of the border he looks magnificently presidential. I think perhaps CNN's expectations of what a president should look like have eroded over the past 7 or so years :hi:

7. So when these idiots go on a job interview...
Do they play the part or do they think that is too risky?

8. Bill Clinton did too good of a job ... the American voters thought
"Gee, how bad could the Republicans screw it up?"

9. does Obama risk looking
too thin?

too bi-racial?

too tall?

too well-dressed?

too intelligent?

too compassionate?

too American?

too well-informed?

******* We've got a long way to go until November. They've got to find something useless and/or inane to talk about.

10. My newspaper's headline was on Mullen's criticism of Obama
the part on al-Malikki wanting the Obama timeline was buried in the story with the counter that it was an incorrect translation...

13. Maybe they want him to wear a do-rag and a Lakers jersey? (Actually,
they probably do want him to wear a do-rag and a Lakers jersey.) I hate CNN.

14. CNN is officially in the entertainment business. I think when I saw Bernard Shaw ask
Michael Dukakis what would he do if his wife were raped and murdered that I knew corporate media had taken over in the place of journalism. I'm still waiting for a follow up question like that to a Republican.

18. Mercy me, it just gives me the vapors! Why, the very notion of
someone appearing like he might want to be President! How could he be so crass as to appear ambitious!

20. Too presidential? Oh no, we can't have THAT! k&r
Edited on Mon Jul-21-08 09:24 AM by checks-n-balances
Wish someone could've actually been there to say that on the air & hold a mirror up to these gasbags!

Millions are losing their jobs & homes while these people are paid millions to be Maureen Dowd copycats on the air? It's the Invasion of the Body Snatchers Part II and perfect fodder for the next Tom Tomorrow cartoon (I hope he watches CNN).

21. He's too sexy for this job too sexy for this job
I'm too sexy to be president too sexy to be president
elections going to leave me

I'm too presidential for my shirt too presidential for my shirt
So presidential it hurts
And I'm too presidential for Iraq too presidential for Afghanistan
New York and Washington

And he's too sexy for our party
Too sexy for our party
No way he's disco dancing

And he's too sexy for this song

23. He looks like what he is...
dignified and respectful. I'm surprised CNN remembers that that is what leaders by their nature, convey.
