It persuaded Pat Buchanan.
I'm listening to the old anti-semite on MSNBC, and he said that Kerry "closed the sale" on convincing Americans that he can be president.
What the hell is in the water at MSNBC? The token Republicans, Buchanan and Scarborough, have swallowed the spit.
heh!
Mine? Did I get 5,000?
Pat HATES the Bush family and is a sick,bitter,nasty old man.
I was listening to Tony Snow the other day and he was saying that back 15 years ago or so, the cable networks would ask for conservatives, but only if they would act all nutty so the liberals could easily skewer their arguments. Like "You be pro-David Duke, and the hero will be anti-David Duke."
One of the saving graces of Fox News isn't just that they have conservatives, but they allow conservatives to express themselves without being total loons. It seems to me that MSNBC follows the old-school "conservative loon" pattern, where the right wingers aren't there so much to express their heartfelt opinions as to be some sort of circus freak.
This could explain why they're consistently in last place. Their internet news is even worse. Last week, one of the top stories was about post-traumatic stress felt by space alien abductees, without a hint of irony.
