I'm real sick of this "Durbin" distraction

[CatWoman]

that is all it is -- a bloody distraction.

I've flipped thru all the news channels -- starting with PBS NewsHour.

All Durbin all the time.

The Republicans are very good at the art of distraction.

We should be talking about the substance of Durbin's comments.

We should be talking about the DSM.

We should be talking about Bush paying lip service to "support our troops".

Yet all we are talking about is that rat fink fucker Durbin, who had the nerve to back off and apologize.

I personally don't feel that way about him, but there have been several threads full of comments that reflect that sentiment.

1. I think its just about over

He apologized. There's no fuel left.

I just scanned Yahoo's top stories - nothing there.

Then I scanned the "politics" section - not there either.

It was an attempted distraction, but it fizzeled when Durbin apologized.

That's my take.

2. Abu Ghraib photos- 8 days.

It'll all be relevant again.

3. Bush will never let them see the light of day

Those pictures will be withheld to "protect the troops".

Any one wanna bet how the Supreme Court would rule on it?

[Kraklen]

4. I would be surprised if he tried.

I don't know.

We'll see.

5. Yeah... People Keep Posting Threads About That D-I-S-T-R-A-C-T-I-O-N

6. w-i-l-l i-t e-v-e-r s-t-o-p?

I swear, all three of MSNBC's nightly shows devoted a good c-h-u-n-k of time to it.

7. Of course they did ....

It's the political equivalent of Little Big Horn...I do not know who was advising him...But Howard Dean was not in Washington, he was in Illinois... :)

8. ah. there's the problem

You need to change your viewing habits.

Why do you allow MicroSoft and GE to bother your beautiful mind?

9. cause Hardball isn't so bad when Tweety isn't there

PBS NewsHour at least reports the news, and Olberman is usually very good.

Tonite they ALL sucked.

10. Look on the bright side

While 300,000 Americans watch MSNBC beat off to Rovian porn, 30,000,000 Americans are watching a bunch of B grade stars try to dance and not step on each other foot.

Now, I prefer reading. This, for example...

11. Did you know that Mother Jones will have a show on AAR?

:D

[xray s]

12. No

But I do now! Unfortunately the AAR station in Chicago is only on from sun up until sun down and just broadcast Morning Sedition, Jerry, Al, Ed, Randi and then go off the air. In the winter its really gonna suck because they will go off the air at 4:30pm.

But there is always internet streaming!
