.
CNN would be live down there, maybe Anderson Cooper would go help look.

Greta Van Sustern would do some reports from there and her ratings would sky-rocket.

Fox News would broadcast about it non-stop, theorizing all angles about her disappearance.


I mean, really -- :wtf:

Runaway bride gets a ton of press, but a mother whose son was killed in Iraq gets no coverage?



(Note: this is sarcasm--I don't actually wish that Cindy would go missing in any way, shape, or form.)

1. AndNancy Grace wouldn't fly there!
Maybe Jug Twitty could be a correspondent.

5. Nancy Grace would be ready to hang some people of color
if a white woman went missing in Texas.

"Round up the usual suspects," she'd say.

2. I've got my minister license (via web); we cd arrange a marriage first &
have her disappear just beforehand. If bigamous, so much the better.

23. Did you know you can not only start a church...
and be tax exempt, but under DUH-bya's faith based programs you can get gov. $$ to help build if you use a certain % of the building to "help" people. Things like telling gays they're going to hell, telling addicts they're going to hell, telling pregnant teens they're going to hell...

Anyone you tell is going to hell gets support!

Cool, huh?

3. And, most of it would be victim blaming.
Realistically, they would put the onus on her. Honestly, those thoughts should be far from our mind. People are watching, if not the American MSM. And, if they arrest her, I'm down there at the county jail protesting it. They better not arrest anyone if they value their positions.

8. Yeah, there's have to be some salacious aspect to it anyway
before the media would get all ramped up about it.

17. O'Reilly addressed it briefly
but it was blatantly negative & one-sided.

Fox is the hypnotist w/the pendulum - their mantra: repeat after me...

22. It sure does seem like someone's been burning up the phone
tamping the story down and making veiled threats.

That's how Rove works.

24. She needs to mow that triangle of grass
That was the friggin' TEASE for the local news tonight. Film of Runaway Bride Mowing Grass. Story at 11.

I'd use the banging head smilie, but I already have a headache.

25. I hope the MSM picks up on it at least...
a little bit soon. If this story would get a fair shake in the media this could drop the President's approval rating even lower. Wouldn't look good for other Repubs either.

Hopefully if they keep protesting, and we keep going on about it-they'll take notice and give it some air time.
