To finish my point: If George Bush got someone's name wrong, we would never hear the end of it - just more evidence that Bush is "stupid." But Bob Kerrey calling Condi Rice "Dr. Clarke" several times during last week's hearings was pretty much covered up by the press. And if Bush called our army a "Christian" army, as did Kerrey, it would be negative headlines against Bush for a week, plus innumerable editorials blasting his "insensitivity." But Kerrey's comment was largely ignored; to the extent it was noticed, it was used against Bush.

And .. how many emails have you sent out making those points ..??

By not saying anything .. aren't we doing the same as the press and ignoring the issue ..??

When I want to send a specific message to different media, I prepare a generic message and then I either send it using a multiple mailout (using bcc (blind carbon copy): so that each recipient doesn't know you've sent it to anyone else). Or, I go to the different websites to send my message - one at a time.

I spent most of yesterday sending out portions of the NYT press release regarding the "suspicious activity" portion which showed that after 9/11 - the WH went back to that document and checked to see if there were any items related to 9/11 - none were found. This does not change the media's opinions, but it tells them .. the public knows .. END OF STORY. I mean, if the NYT can't find ANYTHING in the PDB - there aint nothin' THERE.

I think if you look around today .. you will not find but a few holdouts still trying to make something out of the PDB.

So .. you have a great argument and I think you should attack the media for it - specifically showing how egregious was Kerrey's calling Dr. Rice as "Dr. Clarke", and the out of line statement about a "white Christian army against a Muslim nation". Just let 'em have it!!
