Blitzer ask: Will Dems overplay their hand ?
Huh ?

Do these people read the polls ?? The American people are screaming for the Dems to play ANY hand.

Why are we being ask to prove our ability to lead this country as we are in the midst of cleaning up THEIR mess.

I am sooo glad for the rise of the internets, because this medium and the eventual repeal of the the Fairness Doctrine Act will lead to a reform in the MSM and hopefully the demise of others.

just a rant...

1. WTF is he talking about?
Their hand on what issue? Iraq? We have a president with an approval rating in danger of dropping below 30 percent in several polls, and Blitzer says that?

3. Blitzer asks, "Can I help catapult the propaganda?"
It is sooo funny, or would be if it wasn't for the million corpses & crippled Iraqis and Americans.

Blitzer is what he always has been: A disgrace to the profession of journalism.

7. It's so easy to overplay the deaths of Americans.
Particularly in Congress.

8. it's to be expected from the rightwing media whores
if the Democrats stand up for something, they're described as uppity, treasonous, obstructionist, or overplaying their hand.

if, as too often has been the case, the Democrats give up and go along with The Plan, they're portrayed as wishy-washy, unthinking, weak, or flip-flopping.

Those are the scripts from which the corporate media is allowed to choose.

I know which one I prefer to see, and I think by now those of us who paid attention know which one wins elections, so I'll be happy to see the Democrats "overplay their hand" for a while. Nothing would tickle my fancy quite like seeing the bushies call what they think is a bluff only to discover they're playing a "Full House", if you know what I mean.

10. That and "overreach" are used a lot by those kinds of programs (Faux, MSNBC, CNN)
Anytime the Democrats assert themselves, its the same old crap from those media jerks.
