Video: CNN's Candy Crowley: If public option were popular, it'd pass

Sept. 2 - CNN poll: 55 percent support a public option

2004: CNN's Crowley suggested Kerry's choice of green tea proves he is out of touch with "most of America"

But green tea may not be quite the highbrow delicacy Crowley seems to think. In fact, Lipton itself makes more than a half-dozen different varieties of green tea]. Lipton's website even reveals that green tea accounts for 20 percent of all tea produced. And, according to Lipton's product locator, you can buy green tea in Dubuque, Iowa, at that gourmet market known as ... Kmart.

So, who is the real out-of-touch elitist -- John Kerry, for drinking green tea, or Candy Crowley, for assuming that simple Iowa folk couldn't possibly be familiar with the beverage?

Could somebody please buy Candy a clue?

10. Culture of lies

In other western nations, serial liars would be blackballed from the profession. Who wants to hear that a bunch of bullshit, after all?

In America on the other hand, they're rewarded. The more preposterous the lies- or the longer that they go on with them, the less accountable they become.

12. I see Candy is at it again, letting her bias show. n/t

[Peacetrain]

14. The venom against Democrats just drips out of her mouth.. no matter how hard

she tries to hide it. I just turn the TV off when she comes on

[Garbo 2004]

15. Yeah cause ole Candy knows that millions donated to pols to vote against popularly supported

legislation has absolutely no impact on how pols vote. That's the kind of "seasoned political commentary" CNN boasts of.

Even small children get the concept of bribery...*cough*...I mean, being responsive to the needs and concerns of their highly valued constituents. Yeah, that's it.

Jeebus.
