1. "Articulate"
You've heard Chris Rock's take on white people complimenting black people for being "articulate," right?

2. I call people articulate no matter the color of their skin
because articulate is articulate. No matter what. I've called plenty of white people articulate. That list does NOT include Chucklenuts Junior.

4. No, I haven't, but that doesn't change the fact.
She's an incredibly articulate speaker. She would do very well in politics.

14. That may have been true in the past,
but now, George W Bush is on the scene. He's the most INarticulate person on the planet.

16. Chris Rock says and does a lot of things...
...primarily to promote his own career.

3. Watching her on Larry King Live
She is tremendous! She's pointing out that soldiers ARE thoroughly trained on refusing unlawful orders and that everyone knows right from wrong.

Saying she was treated better when a POW than detainees treated in Abu Ghraib.

She's great! I'd vote for her in a heartbeat.

6. She was EXcellent on Larry King. Worth catching on the rerun. Hackworth 2.
She was the best guest of the lot, and, yes, does seem to have a political instinct for the value of straight talk.

:kick:

5. She's Too Young
I think she's only thirty, she won't be old enough for another 6 years.

8. Well, then she can ru for the Senate or House!
I tell you what, though. If the following list were the ballot in front of me, the X marks the spot where I'd vote:

George W. Bush

John Forbes Kerry

Shoshanna Johnson X

7. I would go for that!
Did you just hear her tell Larry King that when she was a POW and they asked her what her name was, she said Shana because she thought they would kill her or do something drastic if she revealed her real name which is Shoshana (which is considered a jewish name or at least it sounds like one). I don't think I would have thought of that in those circumstances.

11. Here Here
I saw her on GMA last week also. She is brilliant.
She does need to run. She should go on Oprah and give the same interview that she gave Larry King!!!!!

Lots of great publicity directed at women who need to vote in droves against Bush!

Just the fact that Bushco choose poor illiterate Jessica Lynch as their "spokesmodel" because she's a cute blonde should tell you all about this administration... of course that came back to bite them in the u know what didn't it!

12. Jessica and Shoshanna


would be a dynamic duo to gather votes for Kerry!
Has his camp been in touch with them yet?

15. my writing partner and I watched her tonight
she was excellent.

i hope she's for Kerry. she'd do an excellent job.

the other ex-POW was good too (and damn CUTE, btw)

utterly UNimpressed with Lynndie's legal team though. Jacoby & Myers? treading water until the next ambulance goes by....
