More CNN Breaking Snooze: Kerry Give Hamster Mouth-To-Mouth
Yep...just saw a report "investigating" Alexa (I think it was her) Kerry's story about John fishing the hamster out of the water. She joked about him reviving the hamster and joked that she wouldn't comment about the mouth-to-mouth but the hamster wasn't the same after that.

Of course the story got a lot of laughs at the Convention, but leave it to CNN to find an angle here to be "investigated" by ace "reporter" Jeanie Moos.

Usually I'd laugh off a time-filler like this, except when I heard her tell that story, the worse spirits within me could tell this was going to come back in some perverted, GOOP form...and here it is.

Now will CNN do an investigation during the Repugnican "convention" to do a report on Bunnypants and his kind treatment to frogs?

1. If Jeannie Moos did it, it wasn't meant to be serious
She always does off-beat stories. You can relax.

6. Generally I Don't Pay Heed To Her Stuff
She's the most lame of the lame and I know her stuff is supposed to be tounge in cheek.

This is different. I, and it appears others, suspected this story would be taken and perverted, and here it is. And it's in a dangerous, subtle form.

If you had seen the report, you got a really uneasy feeling watching it and the topic matter shown. Funny? No, it showed a clip of Eddie Murphy attempting to do the same to a rat in a movie and the comparison was then made to Kerry.

Are you saying that doesn't smell strange? If not, I'd suggest you read Wilson Key & Marshall McLuan.

Cheers!

4. Just think of all the fun
we're gonna have when the repugs do their convention. Maybe their balloons will be filled with those WMD and they will finally find what their misleader hasn't been able to.

5. However if it s Jeanie Moos more than likely its lighthearted. . .
. . .its annoying nonetheless but this is not a major investigation.

7. the RW 'spin' is that Kerry did "mouth-to-mouth"
rather than CPR. heard one RW POS repeat it on C-Span this morning, and Barbara Comstock used the "gerbil" word in describing it.

this was quoted on www.talkingpointsmemo.com today.

they are DESPERATE!

8. I thought "Hamsters For Kerry" was cute.
Let the repugs spin it however they want. No one except crazy freepers (is that redundant) will consider this a valid attack against Kerry.

10. Yet they never checked out whether Dick Cheney rented a U-Haul in 1992
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/08/02/politics/main221310.shtml

I have to tell you that I never expected to be in this position. Eight years ago, when I completed my years as secretary of defense, I loaded a U-Haul truck and drove home to Wyoming. I didn't plan on a return to public office. Lynne and I settled into a new private life. There was time for fishing and grandchildren, and we were content. But now I am glad to be back in the arena, and let me tell you why.

------------------------------------------------------------

I remember hearing this in 2000; I thought it was the most implausible thing ever - the multi-millionaire Secretary of Defense needs to move out of DC, and he rents a U-Haul? Bullshit. And this was while the press was going after Gore for every lie. But there never was a peep about it - no confirmation nor debunking. Passing strange, that. Dick and Lynne Cheney loading up their U-Haul and driving back to Wyoming. Sure they did. :eyes:

11. That's Rehasing 2000...Not Allowed <Buzzer Sound>
This would be worth extra credit to some intrepid soul to come up with all the quotes Bunnypants and Crashcart made in 2000 that were outright lies then and others that turned out to be lies now.

No Nationbuilding -> Iraq
GMA waste of time/state rights issue -> GMA
Compassionate Conservate -> Cuts in Veterans Benefits


And of course we can through in all the illusions and lies. The one that gets so much damn play is how Kerry has all this money. And Bunnypants doesn't? And it's usually the lower class trash who spew this stuff...the people most abused by this regime, but I believe this is part of a strange co-dependency.

Maybe Bunnypants also used a U-Haul on his mighty "ranch" he has in Waco as he obviously has years of being a ranch owner, doesn't he???

I remember when she gave cow reports in Vermont. She's come far, that one.

13. Update: 6:00pm CDT...Different Moos Story
Hmmm...think some of our calls got to some ears earlier? They ran a Moos bit on those ugly headsets they wear...stupid story just in how these morons are so fascinated by a noise-cancelling mike. But it's sure better than that Hamster story.

15. Wolf and Judy spent like 10 minutes on this yesterday

What did they say about the convention? - WOlf said he had a "great time".

14. Same spin cycle as yesterday.
Edited on Sat Jul-31-04 06:04 PM by Must_B_Free
They produced 1 hour of ignoring Kerry stories yesterday for Paula Zahn, and this was one of them. And it looks like they cut up those pieces and are playing them on CNN live. I just heard the one about "red meat" again.

What else is funny s that the vet concurrs that it is possible to give mouth to mouth to a hamster. Nice try CNN, but I guess Kerry's daughter didn't lie.

They won't let one iota of Kerry's messag be heard.
