I Was Asked My Opinion About Bush's U N Speech

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I had just finished working out at Ballys and was reading the New York Times in the steam room...

This man asked if I had seen Bush's U N speech and what was my reaction to it....

Cool...

I said I never doubted the power of the American military to make another nation cry "uncle" and bend them to their will but we will now be there a long time and spend lots of dollars and lives ..... I compared it to finding a spouse the caveman way;clubbing her over the head and taking her back to your cave as opposed to wooing her and winning her affection by example.... The latter makes for a better realationship....

Then this wingnut (not the guy who started the conversation) started ranting about the liberal media...

1. Probably safer to say you didn't see it

Watch what you say and watch what you do...

2. You should have clubbed him over the head and

Sent him back to the cave that he came from.

3. Fleetwood mac speech

I would have started singing "Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies"

4. And what, pray tell did that have to do with a verbatim speech and your

opinion of it?

[zls44]

6. Did you mention

That the former Prez of the GOP and many conservatives have ackgnowledged the total lack of a liberal media?

7. I Wasn't About To Say The Speech Sucked

and * Sucks Too.....

But I think if you read my post you can see the subtle critique...

I saw a startling statistic.... Only 22% of white males identify themselves as Democratic... I wasn't about to start WW3 in the steam room at Ballys...

10. Wise choice and those with room in their tiny brain cells for logic

may have been helped. Good way to handle the situation without being lambasted.

8. Jeez, really. Did the "librul media" show a different speech or something?

God, I despise ignorant people!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. I don't think the guy was close enough to see the name of the paper...

I believe he inferred that I like to keep up with what's going on.....

5. Would this be the same Librul Media

That found it necessary to embellish (Illuminate?) bu$h's speech to the UN today with video clips (CBS)? As if to distract from that annoying lack of applause that his address brought?

:evilgrin:

19. It's Important for DUers or Anybody To Know What People Think

I think he meant to imply that things in Iraq are going well and the liberal media isn't reporting the "true" story....

I am convinced that a year from now most folks won't even know why we are there...

9. How can you read the Times in the steam room?

Sorry but at least it kicks your thread. :D

[efhmc]

11. You always ask the pertinent question. It also makes me realize how

goofy my comment was. If course, the NYT is considered to be the "liberal media". Funny, I diden't even consider that aspect of the situation. Dummy me.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. With Great Difficulty....

The lighting is pretty good though....

Thanks for kicking my thread....

17. I Guess Reading The Times Is Making A Statement

When I go to waiting rooms with tv I'll ask first and invariably put on CNN or MSNBC, not FAUX...

[NormanConquest]

14. Nothing worse than a wingnut with a liberal media hard-on

You should have told him his Nixon was showing, & to close his robe!

15. Thank God We Have To Wear Bathing Suits

16. Switch to Equinox

Fewer wingnuts than Bally's, I'll bet. (I'm assuming that you're reading the Times because you live in New York.)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. I Live In Orlando...

You can get The Times home delivered in any medium sized or big city now....

I am originally from NY but I moved when I was 11....

[AngryYoungMan]

20. Okay, I made a stupid assumption

eom

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. That's O K

you didn't make a stupid assumption....

The Times is really a national newspaper like U S Today and the WSJ, only much better....
