to provide political analysis? Every Monday morning we have the pathetic and dense Cokie Roberts pontificating about politics. And she's been there for decades. She's boring. She's stupid. She's biased. Time to replace her.

1. Wasn't that horrible?
Edited on Mon Apr-14-08 05:45 AM by PCIntern
God, it's bad enough that I'm driving to work this early on a Monday AM, and to have to listen to that snotty voice intone about how the Dems are losing this election and how McCain is getting his act together and watching the Dems tear each other apart, is just too much for this stomach to take.

Really, it's not so much what she says, which is just the usual RW bullshit, it's that tone of voice...she's so bored..

AAARRGH...is right!!

3. She's uncannily bad. She never departs from it.
I'd like to punch her in her cute little upturned nose. Insipid snotty and uninsightful.

4. I did not hear it but from what I've been seeing on DU
she very well may be right. We had the WH and it it's ours to lose. People are so polarized between the candidates and making threats that if their candidate is not the nominee they will not vote or worse vote for mccain. Neither of the candidates is my choice for president but I will gladly cast my vote for which ever is the nominee. That's because I am a true DEMOCRAT. The party comes first.

5. Baloney. And why even comment on something you didn't hear?
I still think the dems will win the WH this year, despite our somewhat contentious primary- it's the economy stupid.

2. Yeah, when Cokie isn't on they use Juan
Williams, another conservative. Why people look to NPR for any sort of objectivity is beyond me.
