Can anyone imagine a person with less media expertise?

John Edwards.

Beating up on Dean is pointless at this juncture. He was done a week or so ago when the media decided he was done. Let's not wallow in the mud.

"Let's not wallow in the mud."

No, let's wallow for at least a little bit. This is a political meltdown of historical magnitude which will become textbook material on speechmaking "don'ts," and we should savour it as such.

And the real bonus is imagining what's going through the minds of Martin Sheen, Rob Reiner, Janeane Garafalo, etc. as they realize they've been publicly campaigning for a raving lunatic.

Obviously, it's bad for GWB, but I'm sure Plan B is in full swing.

Like beating up on Kerry was a two months ago when after the media took Kerry from a commanding lead in the polls to a lousy 4th place?

Remember all the Kerry Gaffles and the stories of how he voted one way for the war and then said he was against it. The F word gaffle and several others? How many times did the media make fun of Kerry's war service bragging? How many times did they quote his saying in New Hampshire compared to the congressional record?

Do you enjoy posting your ignorance of how he media works or don't you even know you are doing it?"
