Yah, we ALWAYS talk back to our tv. What's with Bush Sr. 'sometimes' and 'finally' talking back? It is very satisfying.

and said he found the criticism so unrelenting he sometimes talked back to his television set.This is obviously meant as a barb, but the MSM elites don't seem to understand that ordinary folks view this as normal behavior.

I don't blame him. I have done the same thing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's just so infuriating sometimes to hear the obvious partisanship of some media members who profess objectivity. Editorializing is one thing. Reporting the news is another, or at least, that's they way we USED to do it. Also, whatever happened to investigative journalism??? That's what I want to know. Rooms of commentators expressing their personal opinions is NOT informative. It always comes across as a "he said, she said" sort of thing. How about searching for the truth and reporting that???? (Gosh, I'm shouting at my monitor even now).

Good idea, and it sounds therapeutic! I don't typically watch CNN, ABC, NBC, or CBS any more, but if I do, I'll have to stock up on Nerf balls in advance!

I talk back to the television set. And I said things that my mother wouldn't necessarily approve of, Well, Mr. Bush, better late than never. It seems to me I found myself talking to the television set as I watched you rub your backside up against Slick Willie's.
Perhaps you are at last experiencing an epiphany. Well better late than never but I fear it is too little and too late to save your constituents from the real financial and political pain which you now experience as personal pain. Good God man, where were you when we needed you?

I hope he doesn't watch that idiot Olberman. He won't just talk back to the TV. He'll throw it forcefully out the window!
To: NormsRevenge
I turned my TV off in 1975 and in 32 years I've only turned it back on twice: once to watch the election returns in 1980, and once again in 2000.
I don't talk back to my TV. I unplug the f'n thing!

I use to scream at my tv til I got to the point where I don't or can't watch any of it. IMO this is a big reason for what happened in November, and it's not going away any time soon, as a matter of fact it's gotten worse since then and will get much worse as 08 approaches..

I do not watch any cable shows anymore. I even turn off fox radio news at the top of the hour when listning to Rush. Every story has to post the lie that President Bush approval is in the low 30's.

You guys just TALK to the TV? During the Clinton administration, I had to clean
spit from the screen several times a month when the picture got too dim! ;-)
I will become dehydrated if Hillary becomes Prez....

Elder Bush is completely right. The msm have gone way way completely off the cliff. It's gotten down right abusive. W is a gentleman and takes it quite well...I for one DO NOT. So I've stopped watching any of the scumbags totally. Ignore 'em completely is much healthier.

Thanks to the Clinton years, not only do I yell at the TV, I now talk like a freaking sailor. Thank God my kids are grown now (18 to 24) because I'm no role model in that regard.
