Today Show Promotes Beauty and The Beast View of VP Debate; Early Show's Smith Badgers Matalin

Posted on 10/05/2004 4:33:55 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Just another day down at the liberal farm this morning at The Today Show and CBS' The Early Show.

Setting up tonight's VP debate, Campbell Brown (daughter of a convicted, corrupt Democrat Louisiana pol) described Edwars as "sunny and upbeat," while labeling Cheney "serious and occasionally dour." Flash to a clip of Cheney looking and sounding particularly 'heavy.'

Harry Smith, over at The Early Show, seems generally to fly under the radar when it comes to spotting liberal media types. But beneath the avuncular mien, he is in fact, he is as liberal, and often as nasty, as any of them.

Interviewing Mary Matalin and Joe Lockhart in the run-up to the VP debate, Matalin said that W has made progress on education.

Smith rudely interrupted, and with a harsh tone, clearly reflecting his own views, stated "but teachers across the country have said he has not delivered on the No Child Left Behind Act." Mary seemed somewhat taken aback by the vigor or Smith's attack.

True and while I won't watch CNN to confirm, I could imagine their spin of brave Robin defeating world dominating super villains (you know like the Joker and Bin Laden) while Darth Vader lurked in the Shadows, manipulated events and did very little of the 'heavy lifting' himself, except for the most vile of acts.

"Please inform about Campbell Brown's father as the corrupt, convicted Louisiana pol - not familiar with that story."






La. Insurance Commissioner Sentenced

February 1, 2001

Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Brown was sentenced Wednesday to six months in prison and fined $50,000 for lying to the FBI during its investigation of former Gov. Edwin Edwards. Brown, suspended without pay until his appeals are exhausted, is the third consecutive Louisiana insurance commissioner to be convicted on federal charges.

Brown was tried on 56 charges stemming from an alleged scheme to create a bogus liquidation settlement for Cascade Insurance, a Dallas-based company.He was acquitted of 43 of those charges in October, and two others were dropped last week. Edwards and co-defendant Ron Weems were acquitted of all charges in the Cascade case.

Teachers are disappointed GWB hasn't delivered? My word, someone email them, we are disappointed they haven't delivered. My father kwas educated in a one room school house with one teacher for kids of all different ages. He shared a desk with a kid. The early part of the century. And he got educated.

What is it with these teachers anyway?

Hey, didn't someone post a picture of the Ambiguously Gay Duo from Saturday Night Live a couple of days back to represent the Dem ticket? Hey, maybe the image will stick.

No doubt.

I prefer to think of those two as the Phony Pony versus Big Time. But then I see it somewhat differently than the media, that's for sure.

You're sure right about the "Darth Vader" spin.

How today's AJC describes Cheney and Edwards--

Cheney: Somber, seasoned, Washington insider, Darth Vader of American politics

Edwards: smiling, youthful, savvy litigator, Mr. Sunny Positive

Shrek vs. Breck

Good one! To give Campbell Brown some credit, I think she actually did refer to Edwards at one point as Breck Boy!

It is best to be fully prepared for Edwards' performance tonight. He is a gifted trial lawyer, and has an excellent ability to play to a jury. He's done it to the success of his clients for over tens of millions of dollars.

That said, I'd just love it if Cheney beat the crap out of Edwards tonight. Not figuratively, either. Perhaps a few good punches to his pretty little head, followed by a pithy comment.

"but teachers across the country have said he has not delivered on the No Child Left Behind Act."

Perhaps those teachers should turn a critical eye toward themselves.

This sunny disposition bit is bunk. Name one clip in recent weeks where little Johnny isn't spewing negative, melodramatic cr*p! The MSM knows that America lives in sound bites...so they say what they want people to think, and the sheep oblige them by falling in line. Perhaps ignorance is bliss after all.

I keep hearing libs refer to Cheney as having a "dark side." Here's hoping that he puts Edwards' lights out tonight. Bedtime for the kid.

NC voters turned out the lights on Edwards some time back. Flash in the pan.

Exactly. And if that weren't totally true, Edwards would be defending his senate seat regardless of the VP bid just like Joe Lieberman did in 2000...

The very least Kerry and Edwards, both wealthy, could do would be to return their illegal Senate salaries for the months/years missed. No work, no pay. They'd never miss the $$$ but the taxpayers would. Who wants candidates who break the law?

Perhaps we should be prepared for Edwards to "channel" a US soldier caught in the cross-fire without body armor.

Complete the picture! please?
