LOL, someone missed a golden opportunity to spike the finger food at that meeting with ex-lax or something. A case of the "quick step" would have been fun to watch in that room :o)

Kerrys decision to open himself to the slings and arrows of this group... Oh JFK, you are sooooo brave. It must be real tough for a left wing Senator to face off with a group of preening lefty journalists.
Put Kerry in a room with a randomly selected group of Republicans, and he'd have a lot more to sweat over than anything Frank Rich is going to dish out.

Friends of the Farkels?
To: Samwise
Me first!
"Senator Kerry, is it or is it not a criminal offense to consider/discuss the assasination of six sitting member of the United States Senate?"

Personally, I don't have a problem with this. In fact, I think they should all meet again and ask him the exact same questions. Now that would be an eye opener

The Trial of John Kerry
By William Rivers Pitt
t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Wednesday 10 December 2003
There are but a few weeks to go before the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. Time has grown short. In an effort to galvanize the message Kerry wants to deliver in the time remaining, he convened a powerful roster of journalists and columnists in the New York City apartment of Al Franken last Thursday. The gathering could not properly be called a meeting or a luncheon. It was a trial. The journalists served as prosecuting attorneys, jury and judge. The crowd I joined in Frankens living room was comprised of:
Al Franken and his wife Franni;
Rick Hertzberg, senior editor for the New Yorker;
David Remnick, editor for the New Yorker;
Jim Kelly, managing editor for Time Magazine;
Howard Fineman, chief political correspondent for Newsweek;
Jeff Greenfield, senior correspondent and analyst for CNN;
Frank Rich, columnist for the New York Times;
Eric Alterman, author and columnist for MSNBC and the Nation;
Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist/author of Maus;
Richard Cohen, columnist for the Washington Post;
Fred Kaplan, columnist for Slate;
Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate and author;
Jonathan Alter, senior editor and columnist for Newsweek;
Philip Gourevitch, columnist for the New Yorker;
Calvin Trillin, freelance writer and author;
Edward Jay Epstein, investigative reporter and author;
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who needs no introduction.
We sat in a circle around Kerry and grilled him for two long hours. In an age of retail politicians who avoid substance the way vampires avoid sunlight, in an age when the sitting President flounders like a gaffed fish whenever he must speak to reporters without a script, Kerrys decision to open himself to the slings and arrows of this group was bold and impressive. He was fresh from two remarkable speeches one lambasting the PATRIOT Act, another outlining his foreign policy ideals while eviscerating the Bush record and had his game face on. He needed it, because Eric Alterman lit into him immediately on the all-important issue of his vote for the Iraq War Resolution. The prosecution had begun.

Election manipulation by the media, pure and simple. They are all puffed up with the power to choose the Democrat candidate.
