News is not news, its entertainment, not to be taken seriously. How sad. But the public loves it. They cant or wont think for themselves. What a waste.</p> Television is now almost completely unwatchable except for a few shows on Comedy Central. News is not news, its entertainment, not to be taken seriously. How sad.

“Hey, Chris;

Check this out. While everyone is abandoning this ethical giant of a man, you’re hanging in there.

I hear there may be a job opening up soon in the White House Press office.

Good job:

To us, it has nothing to do with her intelligence. The problem is that she tends to stick too much to the wishy-washy consultant’s view of the world. The nomination is not a fait accompli for Hilary. Nor is it one for Kerry, Edwards, Feingold, Clark or any other candidate right now. She is running for the senate right now and it is possible that she has to tailor her message to her NY constituents. Maybe by 2008 things will be different for Hilary but we are not ready to crown her yet. Surprise, Surprise, Tweety. All that lather over Hilary for nuthin’. Feels kinda stoopid, doesn’t it?</p> What is funny is that Tweety is surprised by Hilary’s popularity. To us, it has nothing to do with her intelligence.

Caldonia over at Kos had the great idea of having every female Democratic candidate putting up Delay’s vile comment on their websites and campaign literature and every Dem female in office refering to it at any public venue. I couldn’t agree more. Hammering (couldn’t resist) the Bugman with this would be effective in so many ways, not the least being to sour his and Tweety’s lovefest and shame them both nationally. A gift of gold to spread far and wide.</p> The whole thing was totally disgusting.
