Bush's Failures: 'The Note' Mistakes Reality For "Press Themes"
Edited on Wed Oct-05-05 01:50 PM by Presstitutes

Our Bush-loving friends at ABC's The Note toss in this revealing sentence in today's analysis of the Miers nomination: "here would be a political advantage for the Democrats if the President were to lose this fight. It would lead to more and more stories about GOP infighting and a "the Republicans can't govern" story line, as well as a stoking of the favorite press themes of "second-term curse," "Bush bedeviled by cronyism," and "ironically, Bush got - and lost - a big fight after making a pick seemingly designed to avoid one."

Excuse me, but these aren't "story lines" and "press themes," they're reality. A 'press theme' is Kerry the "flip-flopper" or Gore the liar. But then again, these Pre$$titutes are so used to pushing pro-Bush press themes it's the only way they know how to think.

2. Funny how Repugs are now saying "we need background"
on Miers when it wasn't so important when Roberts was not answering questions.

4. Are you surprised...?
dontcha know the rules only apply when they aren't getting what they want.

I don't see what they are all upset about...this Miers fella, err lady, will have blood on her hands when back alley doctors have to start performing abortions again.

3. I am beginning to agree more and more with this idea.

We need to make stands based upon our principles and not just react to whatever the Reps do or don't do (and often to themselves)...
