How is it possible this medal thing is top news

[Mick Knox]

or a main topic of discussion all day?

Who the hell cares what he threw?

This one I dont understand at all. Seems to me a ton more important news going on. Talk about a non issue.

1. it was a special favor between the guys

so as to deepsix the prochoice march yesterday.

[David Dunham]

2. It will be overshadowed by events in Iraq, to Bush's dismay.

3. "Seems to me a ton more important news going on."

That's the point. Can't cover the real news, because it's almost uniformly bad for bushco, so...

Well, you figure it out (as I'm sure you already have).

[Alpharetta]

4. I don't watch TV during the day

which news outlets are headlining this?

[gratuitous]

5. So that they don't have to talk about all those uppity wimmen

You know, the million or so who marched down the Capitol Mall yesterday? So déclassé, n'est-ce pas? Much more interesting to parse words from 30 years ago than to report on the largest protest march in the nation's history.

6. Blowback for "where was Bush' week.

Maybe?

[Bullshot]

7. When you see the media grasping at something like this

and consider it a leading story, rather than digging into the corruption of the Bush White House and the Bush family, it's further proof that the "liberal media" is the biggest myth in society today.

Anyone who thinks the media have a liberal bias has their head so far up their ass, they can peak out from inside their belly buttons.

11. welcome to DU

and thanks for the laugh of the day about talking out of their belly buttons.

The more they talk about this issue people should be asking where are the Bush and Cheney medals!

The issue isn't that Kerry said different things about medals and ribbons.....the important issue is that he deserved the medals for serving.

[Jacobin]

8. A fax from Rove's office to Pravda perhaps?

[gibbyman]

9. Sooooooooo F***ing What

Its his medals he can can do what the F**k he want to do with them
this man serve and was willing to give his life in the war Where was BUSH and Company

[lastknowngood]

10. Well we can't talk about a million plus people marching for

women's rights that would be wrong. <sarcasm off>

[Catfight]

12. so we don't talk about the 9/11 commission tomorrow

and bush and cheney holding hands, continuing the shroud of secrecy, and not being under oath.
