Cynthia Tucker is appalling.  Does this mean she'll entertain speculation about the timing, biological parenthood and mere existence of Chelsea Clinton? But that would be an unreasonable invasion of privacy.

How this miserable POS got to be the editorial page editor of a major newspaper - I'll never know. Thank god for the declining importance of the traditional media.

[annyokie]

I just never read her speculationg about why Chelsea looks just like Webb Hubble.

Probably just an oversight on her part.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

And furthermore...

Tucker is banging this drum about attacks on the patriotism of Max Cleland. I follow politics intensely - and I recall that the first time I ever heard anyone mention the patriotism of Max Cleland it was Mark Shields on PBS in handicapping the 2002 elections early that season (perhaps as early as April of May of 2002) - suggesting that Republicans were going to attack his patriotism. It cannot be found anywhere in any Lexis/Nexis search - and no one has ever claimed to have heard Chambliss malign Cleland's patriotism. He attacked his voting record - which is perfectly fair game. My curiosity is this - who gave the marching orders to Mark Shields to announce this theme? It has now been regurgitated by Cleland, Kerry and Tucker many times - without an iota of truth behind it.

Thank god for the declining importance of the traditional media.

Amen, brother.

Kerry, by contrast, has seen the waste of war up close.

What does this mean? Is she trying to say that Kerry fought in a war? Which one?

[68skylark]

This column is morally obscene. Does anyone have an email address I could use to send a little feedback to the AJC about this?

Can you say Affirmative Action?

He knows what it means to send other people's children off to die.

He and the Democrats apparently don't know what happens when you refuse to send other peoples children to die in response to constant attacks.

You get 9/11.

Thats why Kerry and the rats have no business anywhere near the White House.

By being a socialist minority quack that carries the water for the socialist Democratic Party. No different than the slaves that carried the water for the plantation owners 150 years ago. A life of dependency on a master for their daily bread.

Unlike their forefathers these modern day slaves have thrown themselves into bondage.

[EGPWS]

So it comes as no great surprise that the latest Bush tactic is to denounce Kerry for his activism against the Vietnam.

Ah yes, Liberals ya' gotta' love their rhetoric.

They bring up a political talking point, they fall flat on their faces in doing so, put words into their political foes mouths, and then blame the whole debacle on their foe.

Brilliant tactical maneuvering it isn't.

[cyncooper]

Add Chrissy Matthews to the list. He flat out said the other night when interviewing Kerry that Cheney got married and had kids just to avoid the draft. Went to college for the same reason. Yes, every move Cheney made back then was calculated for one reason only, as Chrissy--and now Cynthia, and soon to be the whole lot of dems--would have it: a sly scheme meant to avoid the war. And he's a HAWK, as Chrissy always screeches.

Indeed, they should...What they will find in Kerry's past is a young man who had the courage to say what so many were thinking

So many were entertaining the idea of assassinating U.S. Sentators, Cynthia? I think not.

Is there any evidence that the "whisper campaign" against McCain in South Carolina is anything other than an urban legend?

The exit polling data from the time says that people who voted Bush were voting on issues (they wanted lower taxes) and the people who voted McCain were voting for the person with the best qualifications. (McCain's issue was Campaign Finance Reform, which people didn't care much about).

McCain got 98% of the voters whose #1 issue was military service, but only 4% of the voters had military service as their # 1 issue.

"And nearly half -- 46 percent -- believe U.S. troops should come home as soon as possible."

I bet 100 percent of us want the troops home as soon as possible. There is no plan to leave them in Iraq when they are no longer needed. This woman is a complete fool.

Cynthia Tucker's ideological schizophrenia continues. Film at 11.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

"...the war in Vietnam was folly, unwinnable, a quagmire."

And just to prove this point, McGovern went on to win a landslide victory in 1972, followed in a few years by Michael Dukakis' victory.

If you view things through Massa chu settes' eyes.

The media is riddled with Massachusettes' opinions. Even in Atlanta, Georgia.

[ride the whirlwind]

His (Kerry's) rhetoric, as he concedes, was over the top.

Well at least I found one accurate sentence in this hit piece.

[MHGinTN]

That honorable definition may be returning to vogue as the war in Iraq grows increasingly unpopular. Come November the criminal dnc will awaken to realize that Americans don't appreciate the degenerrate dnc doing everything they can to fertilize and amplify this 'unpopular' notion. What the dnc and pigs like Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry accomplish with their constant call for 'regime change' in America amounts to aiding and encouraging the enemies trying to kill our Soldiers. I won't forget that treachery by the dnc goon squads come November. I'm betting a vast majority of my fellow voting Americans will not forget it either! Fat Teddy is encouraging a deadly enemy to fight on in hopes of pigs like Kennedy and Kerry helping them change America. Treachery against the unborn got Al Gore a seat at the back of the power bus. With what the Kennedys and Kerrys are now doing to get more of our Soldiers killed by encouraging our enemies, the entire of their party is due for the dumpster.

Cynthia Tucker is a POS?

You are too kind.

[tet68]

Me! Me! I'm already a myrmidon can I be a minion too?

[rebel_yell2]

What it the Cheneys did use family planning to obtain a deferrment; how is that any different than Kerry gaming the system with "three purple hearts and you're out" to avoid the last eight months of his deployment? Apparently, both were legitimate ways of avoiding service. And can we please leave Chelsea out of it? It demeans us to stoop to Tucker's level, IMHO.
