Reached out to Mitchell and had a secret meeting with Edwards at Madame Halfbright's D.C. home. Isn't that reassuring?

Why the misleading headline? He didn't ask Disney or ABC News for advice. He asked George Mitchell. That's not the same thing.

It is only befitting that John Kerry reach out to one of his top PR firms for advice on who to select.

Probably John Edwards, and George Mitchell.

You don't think that a Disney chairman isn't connected to image/myth making? It's all about face time with these guys and Disney is the epitome of smoke and mirror illusion (vs. substance).

In this case, no. For one, George Mitchell has been in the chairman's job for only a few weeks. Secondly, Mitchell has about as much of an eye for creativity and image making as my dog.

Kerry/Edwards, the Stuffed Shirt/Empty Suit ticket.

But he has conversations with plenty of folks who do, thus lending his support to pretty boy Edwards.

Stinks to high heaven.
Conservative media types should be all over this.
What is the crime? Not the getting of advice.
But, if it's true that a news network has participated in selecting a candidate WHO was then selected, then their OBJECTIVITY is forevermore in that campaign destroyed.

Why did they reject Shrek? This guy would bring out the vote.

I forgot Mitchell now had the job, then it made sense.

And Barbara Streisand has Daschle's and Gephart's direct fax line in order to shape policy.
I'd think Mitchell has enough work making decisions at Disney, than to become involved in political campaigns.

I think we make a big thing out of nothing. George Mitchell is a former Democratic senator from Maine and majority leader (1989-1995).

What's discouraging is the morning news on ABC was nothing more than a campaign commercial for drawl boy Edwards. Can they be a little less transparent?

Several thoughts:
1) Is John "Flipper" Kerry going to run to Disney/ABC every time he has to make a decision in the Oval Office?
2) No wonder "telegenic" Edwards was named. Can you imagine Disney/ABC recommending Kucinich (for ex.)?!!!!!!!
