1. Anderson Cooper ? I believe he has seen the light...n/t

[hisownpetard]

2. Campbell Brown?? She drives me up a wall.

[scheming daemons]

3. She's been very hard on the McCain campaign lately.....

[Jennicut]

6. Yup, she actually started questioning McLame's lies very early on

[hisownpetard]

8. I guess I don't watch her enough to know. Besides not liking what she says, I always feel like I

can't breathe - maybe because it looks like two invisible fingers are pinching her nose closed...

But if she's not being biased for McCain, maybe I'll try to watch next time.

4. Can Mika join the Club after being attacked by McCain this morning?

[WeDidIt]

5. Only if she doesn't cower in teh corner from now until the election

I doubt she'll be on teh attack. I think McCain has her sufficiently cowered.

7. Not till she stands up for herself, and quits letting Scar lie his ass off every day.

[hisownpetard]

10. No. I can't believe she gets paid a salary to sit there and say, 'uh huh' and 'of course.'

Scarborough acts as though she is invisible.

I think he's a real misogynist. He was so disrespectful to Rachel on several occasions that I almost
threw something at the tv.

[AldebTX]

12. Nah

She still says Obama's ad using McCain's words about how "the fundamentals of the economy" were sound was UNFAIR...because it was obvious he meant workers.....

[LibraLiz1973]

9. Whoever interviewed McLame on CNN this AM.

[Sugarcoated]

11. The media's always trying to be 'fair and balanced'

but this time they can't - McLiar has gone way over the top and the media can't say 'they both do it' and still be credible. I have a theory about that. I think McLiar isn't comfortable running a campaign this way - he's not a good liar like most Repubs. I really think, before this gutter campaign, he was a better man then today's GOP. Most Repubs would know just how to walk that fine line. I see guilt on his face. Mark Halperin said almost the exact same thing last night and I agree.

In that same segment on CNN last night David Gergen said McLiar/Palin playing the 'attack the media' card has made them angry. The media don't like being played. But I wonder, if that's true, why they let themselves be played by the McLiar campaign and the Repubs.

When Cooper asked the Gerg and Halperin, 'is there more dishonesty from McCain, or are they both doing it equally', I was thrilled to hear them both say NO
