Bush is Darling of Media News, (Say Democrats Griping Over Coverage)

Democrats are getting fed up with watching President Bush on television.

"In an unusual letter to the heads of the three cable news networks, ...[ Daschle and Gephardt ] complained about 'the lack of television coverage of press events featuring elected leaders of the Democratic Party."

[edwin hubble]

In this one area, the glow of Bush's confident, appealing personality trumps the grinding bias of the press and the chattering class.

And Daschle can't stand it... and can't do much, since he has only his own personality to counter with.

Now let's look at the events that made big head lines for the DEMOs. Let's see there's Monica, and there's CONdidit, and there's Hillary,s picture more often than a hardened criminal mug shot, and there's Fat AG beard, Not to mention Traffic-ant.......Gee the list goes on and on. Look at all the great things the demos are doing. (sarcasm off)

So Much Dirt. So Little (Media) SOAP & Water

Hoosier,

It is an interesting and ironic situation to have this juxtaposition of perceived bias.
Not since Reagan and the "teflon" presidency have we heard this whining.

The Washington Post now has a ghastly photo of the "new" Al Gore. on the front of the web edition...
He is their other problem.. (can't seem to link to the photo.)

On another point...condolences on NCAA.
Two of my favorite (small) movies are "Hoosiers" and "Breaking Away" (set in Bloomington in '78).

And just in time for mid-term elections. hmmm. Okay, yeah, let's talk about ideological balance in the news. HA!

Your photo caption:
"Daschle is Darling (of media)"
...darling photo in any case.

Thanks.

Oh, good God. the 'HOLE and little DICK Gephardt are whining to the networks?????

This must exclusively be for public consumption, friends, because the fact of the matter is that the networks are carrying the water for the Democrats constantly.

'the HOLE and little DICK are inept, befuddled, socialist "leaders" of their party. THAT is why they are so upset.

[edwin hubble]

They can count on the talking heads on their side...
They can count on the banter of the anchors to be on their side...
But they can't control the Presidential events and speeches.

What happened to Tom Dashole lately? He was always on the news. Haven't seen HIS face in WEEKS! (Thank God)

Man, you're right! It looks like he weighs 300 pounds. He should grow the beard back, it makes his face look thinner.

[SheLion]

He's gross, let me tell ya. I wouldn't touch that if he were the last man on earth..........heh!

Well, every time he opened his stupid mouth and idiocy sprang fomr it, Bush's approval rating nudged upward. The Dems like Terry McAuliffe have probably muzzled him, but I kind of wish he'd start blathering again. Not only is his stupidity kind of amusing, but it has a delightful backfiring result and it works for the good guys.

They should just change the channel the way we do when any of the demo goons are on.

Since all his big press conferences used to rip Bush ( on the tax cut, the war etc) backfired so badly embarassing Dems and the liberal media... Daschle has to lay low for a while.

[SheLion]

Dashole sure is sickening. It just dawned on me that he hasn't been on TV lately. And boy, am I happy.

But your right......everytime he is on and opens his mouth, it just makes us look better. LOL!

I've been doing that all day, what with Al BORE getting face time. And Wow! What a face! He puts me in mind of a big old bore. (Animal type....pig family?) heh!

[hoosiermama]

Precisely! So let's give'em plenty of mike time. With all their amoral liberal lifestyles, when ever they DO makes the front page, you can count on W and Laura looking better to the average Joe.

Thanks for the Hoosier support......There's always next year! Just proud of the team and Coach Davis. Their team efforts and moral leadership are good examples to our youth. Did you know Coach D donated his bonus to a youth group in Indianapolis? Priorities well placed.
