Pat Buchanan looked alot better than Bob Shrum (Dem) on Tweety

[KoKo]

Shrum looked like "deer in headlights when Pat Buchanan said he supported Israel going after Hezbollah...BUT THEY DIDN'T...THEY BOMBED CIVILIAN TARGETS...AIRPORTS, HOSPITALS, OIL STORAGE, INFRASTRUCTURE!

It was VERY HEATED...with Tweety falling all over himself trying to Pump Bush while he Dissed him. Buchanan was forceful ...and Shrum was a Toady for Israel FIRST... The only thing Shrum said that differed him from the NeoCons was when he remembered he's a Democratic Operative and he said: "Clinton and Gore wouldn't have allowed this all to happen."

Shrum needs to be the first to go as a Dem Spokesperson/Failed Campaign Op.

He's really just a pig rooting in the dirt for a few turnips for sustenance.

And...I really like Pigs so it pains me to say this! There really aren't words to describe Bob WHORE SHRUM ON THE DOLE from the DEMS where he's FAILED TO ELECT THEM TIME AFTER TIME...BUT THEY KEEP HIRING HIM...SHRUM....

:puke:

1. EVERYBODY looks better than Shrum. Shrum is scum.

NGU.

[WI_DEM]

2. Schrum is one of the least effective poltical operatives around

and while I don't doubt he is a good democrat he doesn't know how to win elections and he doesn't make a good apperance on these types of shows.

[Pithy Cherub]

4. Shrum is effectively preserving his perfect 0-7 record.

:crazy:

[Totally Committed]

3. Shrum is worthless...

it's a disgrace to have him even represent our side.

[SoCalDem]

5. He's the one they INVITE, so he's the one we hear from

he and Donna Brazile...and lately a few others like Joe Lockhart are showing up..

but how often do you see these people???

6. They certainly don't want an effective voice for the left!

While I would trim your list, yours is fairer and more representative of all the voices out there. But the people running this game want overmatched ineffectual liberal representatives in front of the public to reinforce that image they want the public to have of us. I wouldn't be particularly surprised to learn these talking heads like Shrum & Brazile were being paid to appear confused, uniformed, just generally less competent than their conservative opponent.

[KoKo]

9. I've begun to think that Shrum and Brazile are given the "check in the

back pocket," too, these days.

Who in the World could be HAPPY about Lebanese Carnage...missiles in Israel and a bombing of Lebanon that was on it's way to "restored prosperity" and the "Fake Democracy" that Bush trumpets from every Campaign Stop.

Yet...it all implodes because of Israel going all out to BOMB Palestinians on GAZA STRIP so that Olmert can PROVE HIS MACHONESS after SHARON!

When will we be rid of this MACHO RUTTING?

How many "Innocent Civilians" need to DIE before the World Powers Sexual Rutting can at last go into a final ORGASIM and they lie down to SLEEP so that FORCES OF PEACE THROUGH DIPLOMACY RISE ONCE AGAIN????

How LONG??????????

[fearthem]

7. Who is our best representative?

[Perky]

8. I don't get the adoration of Shrum either but I suspect

he either knows alot of big money donors and knows how to bring in the bucks or.....he knows where the bodies are buried

[cantstandbush]

10. Shrum IS a neocon. Dems have them too. nt
