Edwards just smacked down Wolf on CNN....
And Wolf put on his 'I am dumb as a sack of dirt hat' acting like he did not understand.

The media's problem: They forget that he's smart...

3. I Missed It... Came In Here To Find Out What Was Said!
Was just going to ask for the info, but you beat me to it. But I don't know what happened. I heard Cafferty earlier say something about "liking" what Edwards was doing... so DUH, I missed it!

4. Interview was about the Murdock New York Post smear against Edwards re: his book published...
Wolf could not get it through his head that Edwards contracted with Harper to publish his book and that Edwards had made it clear all profits would go to charities. Wolf kept asking over and over if Edwards would give Harper back their money?

Edwards explained that is absurd.

19. You think that's bad? Apparently, Ken Star's office
has given more money to Hillery than to any Repuke candidate. Now that's just weird.

24. It's just a matter in time that they'll fall in line with the "program".
She has the powerful tool of Murdoch's assets at her disposal.

Disgusted? You and me both dear fly.

28. You nailed it
Remember that awesome clip where Dean told Wolf no Dems were involved with Abramoff? He finally had Wolf reduced to stuttering and then stunned silence. The script didn't work, and he didn't know WHAT to do. Even lame-o Couric on GMA had the wits to say, "We'll check into that and get back to our viewers." That was a total lie, of course, but she wasn't stuck with empty air time.

35. I saw Couric say that and was outraged. Whatever happened to innocent before
PROVED guilty. And of course Dean was absolutely correct.

16. Yeah, That's MUCHO BETTERER... Wolfie Getting Smacked...
Does anyone really know if he's a Repuke or not?? There ARE times when he "has" seemed lucid. But it could have been one of my "off" days too!

17. He's an agent of the governement
No one but such could have so quickly grabbed the microphone out tf the hands of the Eveleth MN
Local Reporter's hands when Wellstone's plane went down faster than a CIA insider.

She was explaining that the weather had nothing to do with the crash - and Blitzer could not let her make that point.

he took over and stressed again and again that weather was the cause of the plane going down.

18. That DID It For Me!! Wellstone Died On My Birthday AND I LOVED
him and what he stood for! WE THE PEOPLE! He was getting better and better and I've ALWAYS wondered about this! I wasn't watching Wolfie back then, not that I watch that much now... but I KNOW when Wellstone was snatched away!

20. I don't wonder anymore. Wellstone and Tillman, probably more than a few others
were murdered by Loyal Bushies taking orders from Royal Bushies.

95% certainty.

34. Sorry For The Late Reply... Been Very Busy Today...
I took my grand-daughter to the March on the Pentagon and was hoping to visit places like the Capitol and The Washington Monument. Turns out you had to get tickets early in the morning, around 8:00 AM to even get in. We stayed out by the University and by the time the Metro got us downtown the tickets were snapped up. Everywhere we went we went through some sort of security, my grand-daughter got so tired of removing her belt each time because of the buckle on her belt.

We did get into the Senate Gallery, but even then we were watched like hawks. She put her head on my shoulder and a lady tapped me on the shoulder and told me that there would be NO SLEEPING in the gallery!!! We were just snuggling! To get into that place we went through several security checks and she couldn't even bring in her bottle of water. Had to throw it away. We DID get to walk to the Lincoln Memorial and the Viet Nam Wall, but having been there 4 times before I was hoping she could have at least seen the Capitol. It's cordoned off and you can't approach it.

Since we only had 4 days I didn't rent a car, but the next time I go I will do it. Depending on where you stay, it's hard to get into D.C. early enough to get any tickets. We were going to go to a candle-light vigil on the day we arrived, but coming from Florida and getting rained and snowed on before our check-in time, we nixed the idea and decided to warm up some! It got down to around 24 degrees and for us, THAT is REALLY COLD! It's a good thing we didn't go to the WH though because quite a few people got arrested standing outsdide with candles!

At the March, there were Security Guards EVERYWHERE, with batons and shields and as we marched there were Repukes screaming at us and the guards didn't seem to mind when they crossed over the "imaginary line" while taunting us. Quite a few people got arrested for going to the Pentagon too, because they would only let us Rally below the place! My grand-daughter had never seen security guards in full gear! Actually, she has only seen policemen. It was quite and adventure for her and even though we didn't see as much as we wanted, it's a trip neither one of us will ever forget.

She's 11 and I felt the perfect time to take her. We had a great time anyway, but she wants to go back and see MORE! 9/15 will be the next March but my budget has been busted this summer so it will have to wait.

29. Remember when the trolls got stuck trying to convince us it was ice?
They finally let go of that and pitched another reason. All that ice propaganda sticks in my head.

12. Jon Stewart showed just how stupid Wolf is. During Cheney's interview with Larry King
Cheney mentioned he was paid by the Senate.

In a round table discussion after the show, Wolf said, he didn't know that. Jon Stewart then puts up an earlier interview done by Wolf of Dana Perino telling him that Cheney was paid by the Senate. It was a hoot!

14. Pray tell, what will happen when all the "scandals" die down
Edited on Fri Aug-03-07 05:45 PM by RufusTFirefly
.. when the talk of book deals, haircuts, large houses, and post-debate comments runs out of steam and the MSM is forced to actually focus on the issues?

I envision a collective "deer in the headlights" look from all the corporate media commentators.

But don't worry. It won't last long.

I have a hunch they will just focus on polls and fundraising then. They're obviously not up to the challenge of covering stories of actual substance.

36. GMA hosted a town meeting for the candidates and I saw the one Edwards did.
He was able to talk about the issues there because he was answering questions from the audience. I think town hall meetings are extremely important but they take up lots of time and money traveling around.

Edwards is very appealing and gets better and better. I love how he and Elizabeth fight back right away when attacked. Elizabeth just demolished Ann Coulter on the Today Show when she herself phoned into the program. Ann ended up looking even more like a freak than she is. And we haven't heard any more "faggot" remarks from her, have we?
