CNN making "plastic sheeting and duct tape" part of Paulison's name --

Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 07:14 PM by DeepModem Mom

I don't think they're reporting on his appointment as head of FEMA without using this phrase in connection with him in the first sentence. Could this appointment make matters worse, instead of better, for the Bushies?

5. I shocked at CNN

They actually reported this. I guess they realize that the bloggers will spank them hard if they ignored it.

3. Sorry, could you clarify for me.......

So they said he was the duct tape guy....in a kind of negative way? Paula sounded irritated that he was the one appointed?

Thanks

6. They didn't say it in a blatantly negative way, but just...

putting it right up front I think is pretty negative, given the ridicule the idea of duct tape as protection received at the time it was proposed.
