1. Freaking Blitzer just about choked on the word fraud
He barely got it out, and literally stumbled on pronouncing it.

8. Probably not
He often leaves the best left guest for the last. gives us a window on the fact that they know what stories will keep us viewing the whole program until we finally get to see our favorites. For instance, it happens with Joe Wilson all the time.

Meantime, C-Span2 has a great panel on at Center For Amer. Progress - Helen Thomas, Dionne, Alterman and Vandenheuvel.

34. He said the fraud was on the DEMS side!!
OK, all of you nice Democrats and liberals - do you see how these soulless bastards work?? They do it, and then blame the other side.

I, on the other hand, used to be a Republican, so I can do rotten with the best of them.

50. Wolf just chopped up Kerry's words - he's already made speeches about
the election fraud at college commencements and lists ALL of the ways they do it, including all the ways they do it legally by distorting the laws that we have.

52. Here's the EXACT words from Kerry that Blitzer DIDN'T use - from Dean, too
Sen. John Kerry -- in a wide-ranging discussion of ROLLING STONE's investigation -- expressed concern about Republican tactics in 2004, but stopped short of saying the election was stolen. ''Can I draw a conclusion that they played tough games and clearly had an intent to reduce the level of our vote? Yes, absolutely. Can I tell you to a certainty that it made the difference in the election? I can't. There's no way for me to do that. If I could have done that, then obviously I would have found some legal recourse.''

Kerry conceded, however, that the widespread irregularities make it impossible to know for certain that the outcome reflected the will of the voters. ''I think there are clearly states where it is questionable whether everybody's vote is being counted, whether everybody is being given the opportunity to register and to vote,'' he said. ''There are clearly barriers in too many places to the ability of people to exercise their full franchise. For that to be happening in the United States of America today is disgraceful.''

Kerry's comments were echoed by Howard Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. ''I'm not confident that the election in Ohio was fairly decided,'' Dean says. ''We know that there was substantial voter suppression, and the machines were not reliable. It should not be a surprise that the Republicans are willing to do things that are unethical to manipulate elections. That's what we suspect has happened, and we'd like to safeguard our elections so that democracy can still be counted on to work.''

41. Actually, it's spasmodic dysphonia-
Edited on Fri Jun-02-06 05:10 PM by depakid
a rare neurological-control disorder which results in the involuntary movement of muscles in the larynx.

It takes a lot of courage to go out and do public speaking when you have a condition like that.

That was so absurd. I didn't know whether to believe or disbelieve the Kennedy article, but now that Holt spewed that bullshit, I'm convinced he's right.

38. I just watched it, and I am SO pissed!
Who was that Repuke asshole anyway? I didn't catch his name. But what is this b.s. about "flooding the ballot box" with newly registered voters. Since when is a voter registration drive--and a HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL voter registration drive at that!--"flooding the ballot box"? I believe at one point he even called it "stuffing the ballot box"! What an asshole!!!
