MSNBC Repeats Bush talking points -- Two 90 minute run-throughs

[dolstein]

Both Andrew Mitchell and another MSNBC "reporter" have used the EXACT SAME LANGUAGE to describe Bush's preparations for tonight's debate. Both stressed JUST HOW HARD Bush was working to prepare for the debates, noting with awe that just today, Bush has had TWO 90 minute run throughs. Both conveniently neglected to mention that Kerry has spent the last TWO DAYS prepping for the debate. Hmmmm . . . three hours versus two days. Which candidate is REALLY working harder. You won't find out on MSNBC, that's for sure.

1. These people have no integrity and don't even try

[Pirate Smile]

2. They said Kerry didn't do ANY run throughs. Do they mean just today?

3. Let them set the high expectations

No way bush has spent 3 hours taking questions. He will be exhausted during the debate if he did.

4. That's a GOOD thing to use the "werkin' hard" words that are a joke now.

And to show how much he needs to practice (rehearse like an actor?). It's hard werk to learn not to pause while someone's feeding you lines through a transmitter.

5. Two 90 minute run throughs today for Bush?????????? Well, now I

know the little creep will fall flat on his goddamn useless face. The son of a bitch hasn't worked more than an hour on any give day of the 5 day work week as president--when others worked about 24/7. Honestly, he doesn't work. He works out. He sleeps. He does whatever--probably drinks--because the workday has to stop by late afternoon. He's in bed by 9:00 or the story goes (passed out from the booze). If he did this much today, he won't be worth a pound of whale shit tonight.
