5. No way am I going to forget!!!!

Patrick McKinney runs over a capitol hill police officer and we're just supposed to forget?! That's preferential treatment!!

[robbedvoter]

7. HOOKERZ!!!!!! ITS HUGH1111111

[Catrina]

8. Condy called as witness in Pentagon Spy Trial!! The SOS!! It's been

a week and not one story on this.

Her spokesperson denied that she passed sensitive information to 'agents of a foreign country'! She's the Secretary of State, she has been implicated in a spy trial, and the MSM never mentioned it!

Someone had a fender bender and it's all over the news! I know, but I don't care!

Fitzgerald went to court today, didn't he? And didn't the Rove Grand Jury get together this morning? Was Fitz there?

Abramoff was at the WH over 200 times! But Bush doesn't know him!


Oh, and Rumsfeld was finally faced with his own words which he had denied, by a former member of the Intelligence community!

Challenge accepted, I have zero interest in a story that is deserves maybe five minutes.

How many soldiers died today? How many Iraqis?

And what about Bush's palace in Iraq? Who paid for that, did Congress know about it, approve of it?

So much news to cover, so little coverage ~

[omega minimo]

12. What's weird is how many folks trust MSM and newspapers

as if there is some credibility there imparted by _________? God? Tradition? While the same folks believe the system is corrupt and they know that MSM is not dependable for important stories :crazy:

They want it printed out to seem more real? Or its easier to ignore if they pretend the "news" is what they're spoon fed?

[fearthem]

16. The MSM is delighted to report on another Kennedy tragedy...

in order to take the illumination off the incompetent president -- they are like vultures.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

19. Damn good post, Catrina! Right on the money! :-)

[livvy]

9. The easiest thing I've been asked to do all week....

simply a....

[walldude]

11. Have been.. till thismorning I thought they were talking about

Ted Kennedy.

[fearthem]

15. Tonight Joe Scarbourgh said Kennedy was a really nice guy...

wish him the best.

[Joe Fields]

18. Who?

[LaPera]

21. Done!

[LaPera]

22. Kick!

:kick:

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

23. Accepted and recommended! n/t

[incapsulated]

24. I also support this message....

And congratulate myself for inspiring not one, but now two thread titles.

Yay, me. :)

[dogday]

41. I second that

thanks for doing that!!!!

[stevedeshazer]

25. Patrick who?

Huh? Wha?

[Robbie Michaels]

26. Who's Patrick Kennedy???

You know what I mean. We have more important things to worry about. Hookers, Poker games, and Watergate, oh my!

[cassiepriam]

27. Amen. Stay focused people. A Kennedy with an addiction prob

is not a news flash.

[katinmn]

28. This is the only Kennedy thread I have commented on

and the last.

[lonestarnot]

29. Ignore who?

;)

[skipos]

31. Fine by me. This will be my only post about it. nt

[rucky]

32. Did you say something?

must be this sleep medication I'm on. makes me imagine things.

[omega minimo]

44. All these "huh" posts are funny

Nice twist :rofl:

[mdmc]

33. this is the last post regarding him

all threads will be on ignore, even my pro kennedy thread. THANK YOU.

[devilgrrl]

34. But but but but this will detract from issues that REALLY matter...

we can't have that :sarcasm:

[LWolf]

35. Sure.

Since I don't know who Patrick Kennedy is, and don't really care, that won't be a problem.

Since Ted Kennedy is not, in my mind, a hero or a goat, or the epitome of anything, pulling him out of a back pocket to demand support for something he supports, or to bash something, just doesn't work for me, either.

The name Kennedy does not move me one way or another.

[dogday]

36. I Accept Your Challenge

Indeed I do, let's talk about corruption in our government, better yet let's talk about a false war, based on false intelligence that has taken so many lives.....:grr:

[omega minimo]

45. Along those lines, a brazillion McGovern threads would be welcome

Somehow your "comment" seems appropos:

The truth passes through though three stages ~ First, it is ridiculed ~ Second,it is violently opposed ~ Third, it is accepted as being self evident:

Arthur Schopenhauer.........

:hi:

Hey, let's talk about Senator Feingold!

[Canuckistanian]

37. Already there

The Kennedy story is cooling faster than a batch of cookies anyways.

[Grateful for Hope]

38. Haven't commented once

and don't intend to. Except to say that I won't comment.

[dogday]

39. kick

[shadowknows69]

42. I'm trying

But apparently it's the only thing that happened this week

[oasis]

46. Car crashes revisited: Laura Bush's "mishap" resulting in the death of

a young Texan.

Yeah let's talk about car crashes.

[Jim Sagle]

47. No sweat.
