Wolf Blitzer and Gloria Borger are CLUELESS!!!
What is it with these idiots?! Always trying to stir the shit between Obama and Clinton ~ today complaining that Obama didn't consult the Clintons on his veep choice. RIDICULOUS!

Is it only CNN that's covering the convention from the floor???

2. You give them far too much credit.
I don't find them intelligent enough to register even being clueless.

22. CSpan is covering the convention in its entirety unlike the cable channels
which are only cutting in for the "important" parts. CSpan is going to show the nuts and bolts of the DNC. I just finished watching Howard Dean giving a speech to the College Democrats of America in an event before the official start of the convention.

4. I heard that same line from Carville and Begala. Why on earth
should Obama have consulted the Clintons? It's far beyond my power of understanding.
Obama is the nominee, why does he need to consult anyone?

Oh, and then there's this-Clinton asked not to be vetted? Even more of a reason not to have consulted her.

6. They're talking about McSame stirring the pot, all the while they are
sitting there stirring the pot. That is all they have talked about today.

10. Many have given the email to denounce these idiots, flood em but don't forget to let them
know along with their advertisers that they no longer not only have no credibility but they lack the viewers the advertisers love so well....its very simple and doesn't take all that much time,

11. It's all part of the official corporate media narrative - arrogant, elitist, etc.
I can't watch the news anymore...it's all punditry, no objective news. It puts on display the total failure of 'free market journalism.'

14. MSM is inappropriately stoking the embers hoping to cover a full-on brushfire at the convention.

16. It's their lone wedge at this point...
Between them and “I Love Candy” Crowley pimping this meme, it's almost embarrassing.

No...actually it IS embarrassing.

17. I think that Clinton sells.
People love to rail about Clinton and love to hear people rail about Clinton. It sells and so the media gives you what you want.

23. Me too. But just read DU for awhile and you will see
the posts that get the attention are the ones bashing Clinton. They love to hate her.

20. Do they make up the script as they
go along? They had to have been out of their minds when they hired Gloria Borger. She is a has-been wanna-be from way back.
