1. Wonder what adjectives they'll use
... when the new Shia Government tells the USA to take a hike (right before they start slaughtering Sunnis)?

2. LOL, that would only happen if the elections weren't rigged
Silly goose, we've already taken measures to prevent that.

5. Anderson Cooper was strange.
He was editorializing in a big way with lots of adjectives. It was peculiar. It seemed like he was selling a message. I hope the Iraqi's can do what they can to rebuild their lives.

7. The Bush Administration paid very well for those adjectives.

8. I wonder, do they pay per adjective or can you buy them by the lot?

9. Stop watching it. Stop watching it. Stop watching it.
"Oohh CNN is acting like FOX!!!! Oohhh who on earth could have guessed? Oohh I'm so disappointed in our media! Oohh they're kissing Chimps ass again!!! Oohh Tim Russert has Cheney's balls gently cupped in his hands again - I'm soooo steamed!!! Ooohhhh Did you hear what they just said on Hardball??? How can he let them get away such lies???"

How about some of my own:

Ooohh look - the sun is up and it's 12 noon!!! Oooh I can't believe my dog just sniffed that other dog's ass - I'm sooooo steamed!!! Ooohh I just shaved yesterday and would you believe it I've got to shave again today - this Mach III razor is bullshit!!!

Please stop giving CNN/MSRNC/FOX/CBS/ABC/RNC ratings. Stop getting pissed off when a dog acts like a dog.

12. I won't stop watching it. It's relevant whether it's true or not.
Our media is ALL of our concern. I am merely trying to point out that the media needs ALL OF OUR ATTENTION. So where do you get your news?

13. I agree. I personally can't stand to watch it, but
people who do watch it can report to others what was said, at least.

11. I'm not sure who has it right or who has it wrong.
I only hope it goes well for the Iraqi people.

14. These hyperbolies will be paid for with another attack on US soil
I doubt the cost of this will be cheap by any measure. Doesn't the bible say that pride comes before a fall?
