5. This guy is an idiot!
Governors don't control the National Guard when it's deployed to active duty. What a maroon.

25. The guys not an idiot.... since he didn't choose Palin.
He had no choice other than to obfuscate and misdirect, since his candidate had put him in such an awkward position.

It's such a simple critique, holding McCain accountable to the standard he's been pushing for MONTHS, that it *should* be ubiquitous across all news programs and end his campaign. But don't expect to hear it often, as the media is not interested in objective journalism.

17. How about just "reporter" or "journalist"?
No need to draw attention to her gender.

24. I feel sorry for you, timber84.......knew you'd catch a little hell...
You said "chick", i knew someone would take offense.

I think it's bullshit, chick is not the b word or n word, any more than dude, or honey.

Dude, honey, chick, might sometimes be used offensively, but if these words are used commonly without anyone minding, say in your hometown, I don't think that someone in another part of the country should jump on you for it.

I call bullshit on the PC police around here.

I have a lot of chicks and dudes for friends who agree, and a few ladies!

:toast:

16. good question! she definitely said it....my guess is that she had a little bit of Freud slip into
Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 07:49 PM by Gabi Hayes
her mouth, sts

given the context of her questioning, she probably meant 'beating you UP here'

whatever the context, I'll always remember St. Paul

time for a detuminary smoke?

that was a very happy ending

19. That was fantastic... nailing Tucker Bounds on his inability to defend McCain's choice
If only more journalists would simply hold McCain accountable to his own standard(s), if not obvious, impractical policy positions.

From a parallel post...
    You should've seen Cambell Brown just go after Tucker Bounds on Palin's experience...

    It was amazing. She kept on him, asking Bounds -- given that McCain had set the bar higher for "experience" -- how McCain could justify his selection of Palin... and kept asking Bounds for an example of a "commander in chief" decision that Palin had made.

    Bounds was unable to respond, repeatedly trying to take the discussion elsewhere but Brown stuck with it.


I really need to setup my DVR so I can capture these surprise segments.

20. Wow, this is like a repeat of Tweety's moment with Kevin James on appeasement
I really want to see the video of this moment now! Maybe CNN got its balls back after hearing that if they did actual coverage, they can get good ratings (I mean the DNC is the reason why they beat out EVERYONE on the ratings)

26. People vote republican all the time.
Even men.
Doesn't make it right.

(Whatever "people" do there is no requirement to join them.
A simple choice makes a difference. Why not make it?)

39. Give up making others change to suit you. Take responsibility for your choice
to be offended where no offense was intended.

Please.

28. I'm with you, skooo. PC police drive me crazy. All in the eye of the beholder.
That tiny minority that would have everyone else in the world change their language.

Chick is not the same as bitch....or the c word or the n word...

23. She wasn't too tough on "pregnancy" issue. The hammering was on McCain's hypocrisy...
... in regards to McCain's previous position on the criticality of experience for the office of President... in light of his selecting Palin.

The CNN host was Campbell Brown, which makes it all the more surprising.
