After we get rid of the lobbyists - can we PLEASE GET RID OF THE PUNDITS
So I'm watching the debate and doing work in the kitchen when the post debate comes on - now as a note I NEVER WATCH THESE FREAKS - don't even watch KO that often although I do love him - but I don't need someone to explain to me what I just watched and what I need to think about it

but I couldn't easily get right to the TV to turn it off so I did hear/see some of the post debate comments and was EFFING shocked - well not really - I expect this shit from these idiots - but all I can think is they must be really afraid of John Edwards

So if we could ever get rid of the lobbyists I think we should go after these effing pundits - no wonder our country is so EFFED up - if this is the only place folks get their info -

In about the five minutes I watched they have given me a huge headache - screw them

1. OMG, Terry McFuckingAuliffe is spinning like a MoFo for Hill
Making me SICK! Freudian slip -- I could swear he just said, "She's going to go out and fight FOR the banks and mortgage brokers" (or words to that effect).

5. So, how did your meal - or your project - turn out?
It's just another debate, my dad just told me who loves KO and didn't watch much of it because they all say the same thing... but he's also a Mets fan, and they must be playing.
He's also a liberal and thinks the race is already won. In His Mind.

10. I was making "dog food"
since the pet food scare I finally gave up and started making her food myself - tonight's menu was green beans, sweet potatoes and ground turkey - I make it in two day batches and I swear I cook more for her than I do me. AND SHE LOVES IT - it is a scream - she wakes up in the morning and literally cries for her breakfast which she NEVER did on the old shit I fed her and then like clock work she starts nagging me around 4:30 or so in the afternoon - now my little girl is no spring chicken she just turned 14 in June and sleeps most of the day - but there are times she gets SO CRANKED up about this food that it is actually hysterically funny to watch her antics....I love that little girl and glad this stuff makes her so happy.

12. I know for sure KO's a Yankees fan
Don't know if he's a Mets fan too. Most people are either/or. I only have one friend who roots for both though she leans Yankees.

7. Chris Matthews is obsessed with Hillary Clinton
and from the way he gushes over her every word says to me that HE wants her as our nominee because it'll give him more "juice" and more material to go after her every word night after night. Not me...right now she's just ahead of Mile Gravel and Dennis Kucinich as candidate I want to see as the dem nominee-someone should tell him...I don't know who these people are being asked who they want in these polls because I know it's not me being polled.

8. IMO they are touting Hillary so much
Because they know the RW animosity toward her, and a lot of liberal opposition too. So if she gets the nomination not only do they think she'd lose because of that, but all the good things they're saying now will be turned around 180 degrees against her.

They hated the Clinton administration for all the wrong reasons and they haven't changed their stripes.

That's why, although I defend her re some of the things I think are over the top here, she's not going to get my primary vote. That belongs to Edwards for now.

11. Me too Andrea
unless of course Al Gore decides to run-which is looking to be more and more unlikely at this point in time, but hey we can dream can't we?

13. Yeah and I'm still an optimist about Gore
If he doesn't declare by Nov 1 I'll give up on it happening.

9. We don't pay the pundits. Corporatists do
Thus the stomach turning garbage spewing from their mouths.

15. I think it a supreme irony that the word "pundit"
is derived from a Sanskrit/Hindi word meaning "wise man." How absurd to call these blathering, self-absorbed pinheads "pundits," in light of what the word means, or used to mean.

And another bullshit thing is the fact that the blathering, self-absorbed pinheads think they have to explain to us unwashed masses what the debates meant and who won, because obviously we're too fucking stupid to make those judgments on our own.
