JOHN JOHN ON 60 MINUTES
Last night, sKerry and Edwards were on '60 Minutes.' Was this a hard-hitting interview, grilling the presumptive Democratic nominee and his running mate on the issues? Of course not. This is, after all, CBS and 60 Minutes we're talking about. Let the media fawning begin.
Lesley Stahl interviewed the candidates and their wives with such probing questions as "are you worried about being upstaged by your running mate?" (Kerry said no, but he should be worried, since unlike himself, Edwards actually has a pulse when he speaks publicly.)
Then came the usual idiocy...Edwards brushed aside any contradictions in Kerry's record by saying that was only because the Bush administration had spent a lot of money on TV ads. Then, he was asked about the flip-flopping charge. So how did he answer that one? Yep, you guessed it...he brought up Vietnam. The Poodle has trained his puppy well. He says we should ask the people Kerry served with in Vietnam...problem is, those people have come out against Kerry.
Next, it was on to Iraq, and they repeated the same baloney he's used over and over again: we were for the war in Iraq, but not the way George Bush did it. How convenient. Edwards even said had they been in charge, they would have known there were no weapons of mass destruction. I guess you can add psychic on his resume next to ambulance-chasing malpractice lawyer.
Well, we know that he can channel the spirits of babies whose cases he is bringing to court, so this is no suprise.
He IS a channeler afterall. Remember how a little girl spoke through him in court............. the jury believed him.
What a weirdo... a man of supernatural powers.
Edwards to the jury: "She speaks to you through me, and I have to tell you right now — I didn't plan to talk about this — right now I feel her. I feel her presence. She's inside me, and she's talking to you."
Is hell freezing over yet?
CBS continues their "free" campaign adds for the socialist as well as their "free" hawking of books and movies for their socialist lovers.
There were threads going last night and I disagree with Neil on this. CBS was pretty hard hitting. Stahl didn't let them just get away with squat. I was surprised. They looked awfully silly.
"I will be voting to give the president of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." -- John F. Kerry, Oct 2002
The only clip of this nonsense I saw was on the news where lesley asked about the Republican attack on "teresa's" money and teresa said how funny it was that when it was her first husband's, (and lesley then chimes in in unison with a big crap eating smile on her face) the Republicans didn't mention it at all. Amazingly, they completely missed the point that Republicans aren't against someone having money, they are against the hypocrisy of those who have tons of it pawning themselves off as the carrying, compassionate, concerned, loving champions of the little people.
At least until the election is over, I've pretty much sworn off watching 60 Minutes and Meet the Press. 60 Minutes and Meet the Press are now so obviously liberal leaning that nothing is left to the imagination. It's too painful, I wind up getting mad at the T.V.
Yeah I know what you mean. But due to CFR get ready for more of the same from all the news shows. It will be a dnc talkfest.
