CNN: GOP Senate Takeover a 'Coup D'etat'

Apparently the folks at CNN are less than thrilled with Tuesday's election results, with one of the network's star reporters describing the GOP's big win in the Senate as a "coup d'etat."

"Around 1:30 a.m., White House spokesman Ari Fleischer announced that for the first time in U.S. history the president's party gained seats in the House during the administration's first midterm elections," reported CNN's John King on Wednesday.

"(Fleischer) also noted that the same Republican coup d'etat was accomplished in the Senate," King added.

"But Saddam Hussein was elected," noted Andrew Sullivan, who first reported the CNN quote on his "Daily Dish" Web site.

Bush ought to recall allof the White House passes issued to the most Biased of News Reporting Agencies.

If they can't tell the difference between a election lawfully won and a coup, what use are they. Idiots!

I say "F'em !"

The difference between todays media and what was tought 40 years ago in journalism school is now they put the comics on the front opage

This is just typical liberal bullshit.

When Newt and the GOP won in 1994, it was a "takeover." When the Democrats prevail, it is a "win."

Nobody watches CNN or MSNBC anyway.

Paul Krugman, an "economist" has a column in the New York Times today in which he elevates FOXNEWS to a "conservative news source."

When you get arrows in your back, you know you're out front.

Idiots!

[Jeff Chandler]

Journalists!

[Jeff Chandler]

Sorry about the double post.

The sobriquet Clinton News Network is well earned. CNN's propagandists are in deep denial like the rest of the liberal media in regards to what happened on Nov. 5th.

Naw, they just like to use French words like "coo de tah" to sound smarter!

I LOVED the comment about the comics on the front page in post #2!

LOL!

It would be nice to pull the plug on that leftist organization, but then I think it's somewhat enjoyable to watch them marginalize themselves. Only a commie org like CNN could rationalize that free elections are part of some grand designed 'Coup D'etat'. This is downright laughable. These folks are hysterical. Send in the boys in the white suits.

The good new is that of those watching CNN, none of them know what the term means.

Grandad always called CNN "The voice of Baghdad."

Beautifully done! And nice gambling no one would have posted in between and screwed it up!

Never forget that in 1994, after the Republicans had taken the House and Senate, Peter Jennings shook his head and said:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the American voters have thrown a temper tantrum this evening."

i knew there was a reason i had cnn locked out as a channel on my televisor

[RWG]

But Saddam Hussein was elected...and frizzled moondull couldn't do that either, even in a state that has a 'wrassler' for its governor.

[fporretto]

Hey, remember Peter Jennings's famous remark about America's "national temper tantrum" in 1994? It'll be a while before I forget that one.
