Did anyone hear the dipshit reporter on Washington Journal this morning
who kept saying "juggernaut" instead of "junket" talking about of Joe Wilson's trip to Africa - as in "it was not a juggernaut". She actually said that. Where do they get these people?

2. They were communications majors
what do you expect? news is reported by people who aren't smart enough to make it.

5. Ahem. As a PhD student in Mass Comm
I resemble that remark. Actually, if she is a WSJ reporter, then she was probably an Econ major. Or a journalism major, where she might have gotten a curriculum that was heavier on PR writing than reporting.

So now you owe us an Econ major joke . . .

And actually, your comment doesn't make a lot of sense. It certainly doesn't take a SMART person to make news. Two words: Joey Buttafuco.

7. Not econ maj,but statistician,,,,
Two statisticians go hunting with Dick Cheney and a liberal lawyer....The first fires at the lawyer and misses by five yards to the right.The second fires and misses by five yards to the left.Dick Cheney stands confused,while the two yell in unison "We Got him!!!"

4. Maybe they are trying to misguide people
jug·ger·naut (jgr-nôt)
n.
1. Something, such as a belief or institution, that elicits blind and destructive devotion or to which people are ruthlessly sacrificed.
2. An overwhelming, advancing force that crushes or seems to crush everything in its path: "It doesn't assume that people need necessarily remain passive when confronted by what appears to be the juggernaut of history" Christopher Lehmann-Haupt.
3. Juggernaut Used as a title for the Hindu deity Krishna.


I am not sure how using juggernaut would drive the message???
