Just now on the CNN radio news, the friendly announcer reading his script.....

[marmar]

said "President Bush is trying to push (gas) prices lower," in reference to Bush's ceremonial lifting of the ban on offshore drilling.
Yup, he said it as matter-of-factly as that: "President Bush is trying to push prices lower." As if this hollow act will do a damn thing to gas prices.

Such bullshit. Such propaganda. ...... Our "independent" media at work.

1. Personally, I think Bush's just waving his "magic wand" at us

if you know what I mean.

[hootinholler]

5. Wingardia Leviosa

No, wingardium levioso.

-Hoot

[librechik]

7. it's almost as bad as digitus impudicus

and almost as effective (for reducing gas prices.)

[notadmblnd]

11. That's what I was thinking.. Ron Weasleys broken wand

you know, when ever he uses it, it backfires?

[Gold Metal Flake]

13. Levi-Oh-sa, not levios-AH.

"She's a nightmare. Really. No wonder she hasn't got any friends."

(The boy repeats that exchange frequently with a dead-on Ron impersonation)

2. And Yet the Freepers Continue Their Assault on the Liberal Media

When no such thing exists.

[spanone]

3. the media will hail the blivet as our energy hero....

[napi21]

4. I wonder if Shrub & Darth have made a deal with the oil co's to lower the prices

temporarily to help keep the Pubs in office? This announcement is just a way to make it look like HE was responsible for lowering the prices and he & his party should get the credit.

[spanone]

6. it happened in 2004

[AntiFascist]

8. I'd wager that gas prices have increased at least 100%...

due to threats against Iran, so the opposite is actually true.

[Rex]

9. The M$M has always been on the side of the GOP.

They pay better and love mediawhores to death. CNN has NEVER been 'for' the American people. CNN is for sensationalism and propaganda, like FOXnews. They are 24/7 entertainment-ratings moneymakers. They have nothing to do with what is important or good for America. They pedal prescription drugs and life insurance commercials.

They purposely hire misinformation gurus like Glenn Beck.

10. the petroleum reserve spigots

will be opened in Oct.

[KharmaTrain]

12. Easy Headline...

The only gas he pushes emits anytime he opens his piehole. Sounds like the AP wrote that headline. It's lazy "journalism" at its finest...just take the spin points and run with it.

[Gold Metal Flake]

14. So now you know how they will come at Pelosi.

You also know that they will continue to embargo the truth about the 68 million acres of land that the petro-facists hold the drilling rights to and yet are not drilling on.
