Cokie Roberts sees signs of hope for the GOP

[Cocoa]

in an unusually lame and empty episode of her weekly analysis this morning on NPR, she offers up one scenario that might allow the GOP to turn around their fortunes before 2006.

That scenario? If the economy "stays strong" she says. :wow:

[AX10]

1. The economy for the regular American is not good.

It's only good for rich mediawhore's such as herself.

[Mountainman]

2. She makes me puke. I always wait to here he requisite Dem bash

when ever she is on.

[Hubert Flottz]

5. I think she's had her nose in the Cokie...

Or the LSD?

[arewenotdemo]

18. LSD would be wasted on that sorry excuse for a human being

[Hubert Flottz]

22. She's been into the "Electric" Kool-Aid...

I think all the GOPers are out to top Bush at lying. They have their work cut out for them if that is the case.

[SaveElmer]

3. She is possibly the most OVERRATED commentator...

In history...her vapid, self evident comments which pass as insightful on NPR are laughable in the extreme.

[Booster]

4. Dream on, Cokie.

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Nice turn of phrase.

..."allow the GOP to turn around their fortunes..." And save hers?

[AX10]

Not just her bank accounts, but her job too.

With Dems in charge of Congress, we can exert pressure on these pigs to stop their spreading their propaganda.

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. Oh yes and her job too.

Lets hope so! Their propaganda needs to be stopped!

[katty]

7. Cokie-lucky to have a job

[stevedeshazer]

14. That's Martha Mary Coreen Morrison Claiborne Boggs "Cokie" Roberts to you

8. Cokie is sooooooooo.................

Your pick.

[Elwood P Dowd]

9. Everybody I know is bitching and complaining about the economy

and that includes Bushitler voters. If that's all she can dream up, the repukes are fucked.

[LaurenG]

10. I don't think that will help

I honestly don't think anything will help. The GOP isn't the GOP anymore and I think they are doomed for a while. People aren't buying the lies anymore and it seems the more they try to fix things the deeper they dig themselves.

[pinto]

11. Yeah, and I'm gonna click my heels, three times, and say....

you all know the rest

[politicaholic]

12. What's strong on paper doesn't exactly apply to reality...

but of course Cokie is no economist, so I would suggest she stay out of the economic projections game.

[Cha]

13. Like it helped Gore?

cokie is repulsive..how does that husband of her's deal?

[Cocoa]

17. Gore was burdened by "Clinton fatigue"

according to Cokie and her whore colleagues anyway.

[opihimoimoi]

15. The GOPle is a LOSER TEAM....why in the world would we want

them resurrected? revived? restored?

[undeterred]

16. Its dark and smelly in the place where she hides her head.

:shrug:

[Cleita]

19. That's delusional thinking at it's best.n/t

[niallmac]

21. '...unusually lame' or 'typically'? n/t

[The_Casual_Observer]

23. she is a know-nothing. The employment figures point to very bad news

in the wake of Katrina and high gas prices. They are kidding themselves and shitting the public. Things are very bad out there at the moment.

[rusty charly]

29. and i think it's easy to make all kind of comments

before the xmas season. let's see all the excuses and "who-saw-it-coming?"s after the holiday shopping spree doesn't materialize.

[spanone]

24. Cokie is Dopey.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

25. She's either hallucinating, or is an extremist right winger

Which is it?

[Warren Stupidity]

26. Media whore.

Just google cokie roberts media whore

Plenty of good stuff. Put her on ignore (now that it is ok to say that :-))

She took a huge rightswing a while back. Too bad, her dad (Haley Bogg,) was fairly courageous for a Missisippi Democrat, taking a strong stand against segregation.

[madrchsod]

27. i hope her vibrator shorts out

just before her big o....

[peacetalksforall]

28. Are Cokie Roberts, Tim Russert, and Chris Matthews Catholic? If yes,

they have other things in common also. Morphed right - very far right. Transparent in their propaganda. Display a certain contempt for Democrats. Eager to please the far right.

[wookie294]

31. Yes

As a person raised by Catholics, I know that Catholics can be right wing about sexuality. Hence: the hysteria over a blow job in 1998. It's disgusting. Matthews was so pious and priestly about Clinton's blow job.

[cigsandcoffee]

32. I'm Catholic.

I don't think non-Catholics understand the diversity in our faith. I can reasonably assure you that there isn't some kind of secret handshake for us, and if there is, nobody has told me about it.

[peacetalksforall]

33. I was raised Catholic. I should have finished my thought. These tree

seem to be like righteous siblings. So uptight, so arrogant, so pure. I thought they were Catholic based on clues here and there. I don't know why I thought of their Catholicism.

I am puzzled why there is this big change in Catholics? I'm disappointed.

Why are there so many overly religious people who lock on to PNAC and the Republican agenda which to me has become all lies, theft, death, torture, torment, deception, denial of rights, including the death of our earth and the lack of basics for citizens, plus horror imperialism. It isn't Catholicism as I knew it. It really bothers me. Catholics used to have a heart. I am not speaking for the Vatican, I'm only talking practicing Catholics of my youth.

What they are doing in facilitating propaganda is just plain wrong with or without their religion, but worse because of it.

[CatholicEdHead]

34. Part of it is a division that wants to turn the clock back

That is what the current power strucuture is going towards more each day. If you tune into most "Catholic" wide scale media (e.g. EWTN, Catholic Register, Relvent Radio, Ave Maria Radio, etc...), they take hard-line, quasi-fundie presentations with lots of ceremony over works.

While growing, they are still only part of a very diverse church populus here and abroad.

[SoCalDem]

30. How bipartisan of her

:puke:
