This evening's 7:00 PM "The Situation Room" included this exchange among Paula Zahn, Jack Cafferty and Wolf Blitzer:

CAFFERTY: Well, listen, it's tailor-made for the media. We get so sick and tired of, you know, running sound bytes of the candidates that when somebody comes along and does something that's even this much out of ordinary, we pounce on it like cats on a mouse and drag it around until it's dismembered on the living room floor.

ZAHN: Will it be dismembered by election night is the question, Jack Cafferty.

CAFFERTY: If we have our way with it, it will be.

BLITZER: I'm sure there'll be something else that will pop up between and probably an hour from now.

CAFFERTY: One can only hope.

My, my, have you ever seen such mainstream media desire for a hot story to just go away? I certainly don't recall similar sentiments expressed about, say, the Mark Foley scandal.

Coupled with CNN's White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux stating the following hour that "we hope and we think that all of this is going to go away tomorrow," I won't be surprised if tomorrow's coverage centers on more pressing matters. Something, anything, that doesn't place liberals in a bad light.

Oh and what about getting back to the Limbaugh/Michael J Fox imbroglio?

[Grampa Dave]

Mike there is no difference between Kerry, Pelosi, Murtha and other rats re their hatred of a strong America, of our military and their 24/7 Bush Derangement syndrome.

Every rat running for re election or election in Congress needs to be asked why they have not demanded an apology from Kerry and submitted written and oral support of our troops and their CIC.

[Grampa Dave]

We have seen another Rovember surprise, and it "ain't" over yet.

[Mike Bates]

. . . support of our troops and their CIC.

Grandpa, support of our troops they'll give lip service to. But support for the CIC? I don't think so.

[BluH2o]

My, my, have you ever seen such mainstream media desire for a hot story to just go away? I certainly don't recall similar sentiments expressed about, say, the Mark Foley scandal.

Or Trent Lott, Tom Delay, etc., etc..

[Grampa Dave]

Our troops support their CIC.

Therefore, if one supports our troops, they should support what the troops support.

[Mike Bates]

Plenty of those etc.s, aren't there?

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

That is awesome!

[Grampa Dave]

Dead did a great job with this.

[Bigg Red]

Twelve of the 14 people who actually watch Cafferty probably agree with him.

[Mike Bates]

He's up to 12? Must've won over Keith Olbermann's dark little heart.

[GOP_Raider]

Probably not...or anyone with a .08 BAC.

[stockstrader]

Let's just hope that Kerry does NOT apologize, and instead keeps on SPEWING HIS ANGER, HATE and VENOM!

If he keeps it up, the focus on his CONTEMPT for the military and its efforts WILL continue!

[Mike Bates]

Let's just hope that Kerry does NOT apologize. . .

Too much pressure building on him. He'll cave, but just not admit it's a cave.

[Doctor Raoul]

Nope, NO liberal bias at CNN, nope, nada, zilch, zero.....and Cafferty has a full head of hair.

[Mike Bates]

Nope, NO liberal bias at CNN, nope, nada, zilch, zero.....and Cafferty has a full head of hair.

Not to mention a full head of air.

BLITZER: "I'm sure there'll be something else that will pop up between and probably an hour from now."



"Hey, what about me and my land deal?"





"Yeah, we're starved for attention."

[Mike Bates]

"Yeah, we're starved for attention."

She looks as though she's more starved for a couple of pints of blood.
