than HRC being two-faced about NAFTAGATE? I won't call Hillary a monster but I do think she is an opportunist who will do anything to win even if it means destroying any hopes the democrats may have in November.

1. I've noticed that too
Also it seemed that all the Sunday political shows all seemed to put down and criticize Obama, at the same time making Hillary sound like it was inevitable for her to win. I just got through watching This Week and it was aggravating. The whole panel seemed to be against him. I couldn't even finish watching The McLaughlin Group this week and I usually watch that every week, despite Pat Buchanan.

2. It's easy to report
Simple stories for simple minds. MSM wants Hillary ... don't know their reasons, but they do.

I remember hearing some chuckleheaded pundit BEFORE ANY of the primaries/caucuses expounding on how all the other candidates should drop out because Hillary's poll numbers were so far ahead of the rest of the field her candidacy was insurmountable. :wtf:

Let's see they've also told us that Rudy was a shoo-in for the Republican ticket, and we'd all jump on the bandwagon for old Fred (I'm kinda tired) Thompson.

They are all quite stupid and unfortunately some of their spin sticks. The latest spin is that Obama is too weak ... can't fight back ... can't win if he doesn't get dirty.

But then they go nuts over the monster story. :banghead:

3. just remember: they are frequently wrong
These beltway types especially. I'm getting so sick of the pontificating from on high on the Sunday shows. Just makes me want to support Obama all the more! They don't know what's going on out here in real America and continue to think we care about their bs. Few of them have the ability to have an original thought--they just follow each other around.

Obama represents more change than they can comprehend. They really don't get it. We'll just have to show 'em what this movement is all about.

4. "Obama represents more change than they can comprehend"
I could not agree more. They use the same structures and tools to analyze something that is very different.

5. they absolutely do
Specifically I'm referring to Cokie and Sam on This Week but it applies to all of them. So smug and all-knowing, and using the same paradigms as they've always used. They just don't get it.
