The Pope Really MUST Hurry Up! The MSM is Running Out Of Analysts!

[DistressedAmerican]

MSNBC has has an odd line-up today. Along with the endless string of priests, cardinals, and bishops that you have never heard of, I have seen Bob Woodward expounding on the pope death watch.

Yesterday they had Iraq expert Con Conklin (sp?) blathering on about Terri Schaivo. Either they are scraping the bottom of the barrel or they have mixed up their rolodex!

I'm going to start having I drink everytime I hear the phrase "grave condition"! In condition for the grave? Classy!

1. Carl Bernstein was on either CNN or MSNBC as well

Whose opinion is next?

[Dave Sund]

4. Well, Bernstein did write a biography

of the Pope.

3. You are going to be flamed... don't make such a light joke

about the Pope. Many DUers will be upset with you because they are Catholic. They don't like people making light of the Pope's imminent death.


On edit: this is what I have learned today on DU.

5. It obviously wasn't about the Pope

It was about MSM. They probably burnt out all their pundits covering Terri 24/7.

6. You Are Right! I Would Never Question Other's Religious Beliefs!

That would be insensitive! Nothing like the right shoving God down my throat which, all right thinking Americans know is for my own good!

[incapsulated]

9. It was a joke about the MSM

I would hope that Catholics wouldn't be that sensitive (I was brought up in the religion myself).

I don't see any difference between jokes about Schiavo and the Pope, in terms of what should be "acceptable" or "tasteless", myself. Terri was a completely private citizen whose life was dragged before the public without her consent. There were plenty of jokes and worse about that coverage.

13. Besides with the amount of christian dogma that smacks me in the face

everyday, I am beyond worrying if I offend people of ANY Christian denomination! The offend me every day and I am supposed to suck it up in the name of tolerance?

Where's my FREEDOM FROM religion? The founders could navew been a bit more explicit if you ask me!

7. It's tomorrow in Rome.

8. Dr Sanjay Gupta is beginning to get on my nerves!

Are they going to keep this up all night?

Unbelievable!

[DistressedAmerican]

10. How About ALL WEEK?

Oh right, according to the vatican, Jesus is welcoming him "this evening"!

Hope he has his photo ID. Just not as easy to fly as it used to be.

12. its that Dr. Bernadine Healy who really gets to me!! She is suddenly the

new 'expert' on death and dying (We saw a lot of her with Terri S. also). She tips over leaning Right.

[Catchawave]

20. I noticed that too about Healy....

and am annoyed by her as well. She put all that doubt out there about Terri's PVS ("how can they be sure???"), today she was mentioning how peaceful the Pope was "dying".

I.just.don't.like.her. Especially after remodelling the Red Cross offices with 9-11 donations...errrrrggggghhhh.

[Carni]

21. I can't stand that woman

She looks like a cross between Dr Laura and Peggy Noonan.

[Bluebear]

14. I don't think Dr. Gupta has slept in a week

"....and now, to discuss the Pope's islets of Langerhans, let's bring in our own mediacl expert..."

[DistressedAmerican]

15. I'm With You. I Feel A Bit Sorry For The Good Doc!

He got more sleep reporting and operating on soldiers during the invasion!

[DistressedAmerican]

18. Where's Dr. Bob Arnot When You Need Him? (n/t)

[queeg]

11. They ran out about 3AM last night-

[Southsideirish]

16. The whole cable news coverage is a total obscenity. I wish someone from

the Church would say something to make this hideous death "watch" stop.

[DistressedAmerican]

17. Are You Kidding Me? They Love It! Best Coverage They've had in years!

I wouldn't be surprised to see them hold the info as long as possible to drag out the coverage!

Just prop the guy up in the window and make him wave for a couple of days and we might just forget all about the whole child molester thing.

No Not Micheal!
