Ah M.S.M....will you ever learn?
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 11:50 AM by Chimpys_Last_Stand
Every single day of this convention the M.S.M. talking heads - oh, I don't know, as if reading from say...the same memo - fill up their airtime glibly predicting how the speakers that night would not be able (or unwilling) to deliver the goods for Barack.

Will Michelle be able to portray a softer side of herself? Will she be able to put to bed those nagging questions about her patriotism? Will Hillary and Bill give Obama a full-throated endorsement...or are they really, secretly hoping he loses so she can run again in 2012? Is the rift healed? When are the Democrats going to go after McCain and Bush? What are they waiting for?

Blah blah blah de blah blah blah.

Michelle, Teddy, Hillary, Bill, Joe...and yes John Kerry...each of them, took a 95 mile an hour heater and jerked it out of the yard. And so did many of the so-called 'down ticket' speakers.

And now today, yet again, like clockwork...the talking head-ocracy is going on and on about the Roman columns, the stadium, Obama's proving McCain's claim that he's just a celebrity, a rock star, what if it rains, the this the that...the gimme a break.

So M.S.M., it's the bottom of the ninth...this week you've gone 'oh-fer'...this is your last chance to scratch out a hit and avoid the big goose egg. Do us all a favour...this time stay back on the pitch, just try to put the ball in play, and leave the 500 foot home runs to the Kennedys, Clintons and Obamas of this world!

2. And after the fact,
they claim to have been right. "Hillary didn't deliver a REAL endorsment" etc. It must be pleasant living in a self-created reality where one is never wrong. The used to have asylums for these people. Now they get television shows.

if at anytime the livelihood or the lives of msm pundits depended soley on the accuracy of their opinions or speculations, they would all end up either in a welfare office, or cemetery.
