Getting hard to tell FNC from CNN these days. Shame on Roger Ailes!

The only way the Republicans can emerge from this by November is to :

Start Throwing Some of Their Prominent Campaign Donors Into the Iron Chateau

BUT, it's mighty hard to bite the hand that feeds you. A lot of these guys are "Pioneers" and their wives hold Republican teas at the Ritz Carlton....

(This, of course, is not to infer that the Democrats don't have their own fingers fastidiously into the American political corruption/money politics' pie. Just as bad, perhaps).

Really. Until the man on the street starts seeing some of the stock-optioned, book-cooking, gated community/country club set who screwed their companies and employees exchanging their tony polo shirts for prison stripes (with Bush/Justice Dept. taking credit) I don't think they will recover by the Fall and Gephardt will have one hell of an election night. (Pre-emptable by Desert Storm II, possibly)

I just got back from Europe and had Fox withdrawal while over there. CNN and MSNBC do nothing but spend the day talking down the administration. Fox, at its greatest level of "balanced" is nothing compared to the spin presented by the others, especially overseas.
