QUICK! Somebody start a class: "Googling for Media Morons"
Edited on Wed Jan-04-06 05:17 PM by Walt Starr
It seems to me that DUers are better at researching things than any moron in the media. How long did it take a DUer to dig up the fact that Bush knew Abramoff when he was governor, yet not a single Media Moron knew how to work that google thangie.

1. I think you have a great idea here, Walt
:patriot:

Teaching them how to use the Wikipedia *alone* would advance the media tremendously!

3. Not ONE of them has googled Bush - Bin Laden - Bath - BCCI, either.
Idiots...it's only been FOUR YEARS since 9-11. You would think they'd have bought a clue by now.

4. That's because our social calendars/jobs
aren't dependent on what we say on television or elsewhere.

9. But that doesn't mean that he knows Mr. Abramoff.
Hell, jr used to send Mr. Lay personal notes and Christmas greetings, but he didn't actually know Mr. Lay when it came down to it.
