2. Osama bin Forgotten?
Man, I swear Rove treats him like a jack-in-the-box toy.

Just let the media keep turning the crank, forcing us to listen to "Pop Goes The Weasel".

At the precise predetermined moment, the scary clown bounces up and everybody goes bananas.

7. Let's not overdo the "distraction" theme....
Osama is only mentioned once every six months or so. Therefore, not *every* story on CNN is played as a distraction.

Besides, be happy that they're showing something other than non-stop Schiavo coverage.

Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 03:20 PM by SpaceCatMeetsMars
Gary Condit and Chandra Levy! They speculated all day long and never came up with one fact.

13. I will never forget.
The morning of 9/11 I turned off the TV; usually I would have CNN or MSNBC on in the background as I ironed a shirt or packed some lunch. But that morning it was sharks and Chandra Levi and it was particularly annoying. So I turned off the tube -- at 8:30 or so. I didn't find out what was going on until 10:45 Eastern time, when both towers had already fallen.

10. It means that we invite Rush to the beach for a swim???
During the last shark frenzy didn't he try to blame that on liberals and those concerned with the environment? I'll have to look up the excuse (LIE) that he told to dry to convince the ditto-shittoheads of this.
