wagged his finger at us. ("I never had sex with that woman.")

They attack, we defend, but we always lose the argument because the "THEMS" own the media.

I wish I could think of some profound way to rebut her comment, but the best I can do at the moment is "Wag this!"

Nonetheless, until we can once and for all put an end to their media steamroller, we're going to go on losing the debate, the elections and the country. (Well, we don't actually lose elections. We let them steal them and only a handful of our "leaders" are willing to say, "Ummm, hold on a minute.")

But the big point here is the media. They own it, we don't and therefore we get screwed every time. If there was a bastille, we could storm it. But how do we "storm" such a widespread, corrupt, countless number of Republican strongholds? Tell me how and I'll go find my spear which is rusting somewhere in the attic.

2. That crazy shrew on TV is the media
unfortunately, irony is wasted on most viewers.

3. I think the key word here is
once. Just say "You're right. Clinton lied to us once." That ought to piss them off.

4. I knew this would be a talking point. And "And the children..."
"What will I tell our children?"

The "children" of the Clinton era are now the "children" being killed in Iraq.

5. that must be the "talking point (lie) of the day" from the "handbook"
cal thomas wrote an article titled the same thing with pictures... I won't even read a line of something like that, just saw the headline and left it at that.

I said almost 5 years ago, rove is a 'scriptwriter' and has different script pages for the day/week that are handed out to the RW talking heads and it has been proven true more each year, month, week and day!

7. Facts support the wagging finger this time!
(and in the mindset of how southerners usually think the 'I didn't have sexual relations (intercourse) with that woman' was by a technicality true, but in the broader sense not)

As long as the Mouthpieces are continually allowed to talk about Style (Clinton's finger, exposed leg, red face) instead of substance (taking on terrorists), we will always be in a mess.

8. Maybe this is why Clinton waited until now to hit back so hard
Clinton knew the media would bring up the Monica thing. But now it's so obvious that Bush has lied many times worse than Clinton knows the people will listen to him.

10. And Clinton's *lie* didn't get anyone killed. George can't say the same
