Think the Bush Administration has gotten to Joe Klein. He is just so damned happy to jump into the Bush cesspool. Doesn't pass the smell test. This guy is a Bushlicker. But I sure like Lou Dobbs these days.

1. I wish I had that on tape! Dobbs was practically out of his skull
Edited on Fri Feb-24-06 06:49 PM by Gloria
as Joe Klein worried about "changing the rules" in midstream! WHAT RULES?? The committee that even Perle admits is a joke?? And worried about "sensitivity".....

2. What did he do this time?
I've hated him ever since he said Democrats were expressing phony outrage over privatizing Social Security for political reasons (FYI, he was pimping that awful POS legislation for months during the heyday of its debate last year.)

3. On Lou Dobbs tonight, giving out Bush talking points on the ports
I used to think he was thoughtful, but lately it's All Bush, All the Time. Like I said, doesn't pass the smell test.

9. He bashes Republicans too at times
But the WAYS in which he bashes us seem really bizarre and he does it on certain issues that most Americans oppose Bush on (like privatizing Social Security and the port deal.) Isn't he also like Tom Friedman on the issue of being pro-outsourcing? I'm not sure if this is ture but I could've sworn I read him writing stuff similar to Friedman on the issue.

7. Joe Klein has always been a Republican.
According to this POS, Clinton was always bad and Bush is always good. :argh:

10. Didn't he write Primary Colors?
It was a somewhat funny movie if you don't know the background on it, but it's basically a parody of EVERY SINGLE right-wing conspiracy theory on Clinton. If someone in Hollywood tried to make a movie like that on Bush the media wouldn't give it a warm reception.

11. Yes and also "The Natural"
He is not anti Clinton just critical about some of the failures.
