Personally, I would prefer that the media stay "out in left field," it just makes everything so much easier for us.

[Freepdonia]

I'm surprised that Sesno said this.

[MNJohnnie]

They will. One thing I have noticed about Dims and the media over the years. Election defeat is NEVER their fault. They will come up with a rationalization and blame everyone BUT themselves.

I saw Dowd on the Sun morning shows. She said that W. was elected by the "ignorant."

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Former CNN anchorman Frank Sesno said Sunday that sour-grapes post-election rants by New York Times columnists Maureen Dowd and Paul Krugman show that they are "out of touch" with regular Americans who voted for George Bush in droves.

Also, during that same interview: Sesno correctly identified purple as being a color, and correctly labeled fire as "Not Wet." :)

Maureen Dowd voted for the Jack Daniels/Johnny Walker ticket this election.

Duhh Like this is news


Text of my Email to Krugman:

On the Behalf of those ignorant (as you think) Americans who rightly voted to reelect President Bush to The White Houe

Bite ME

Sincerely

An informed American Voter

My favorite saying: "The left is so far out in left field you cannot see them with the Hubble telescope." That is where they belong and probably will stay until they grow up.

Actually Dowd and Krugman sounded just about the same as usual. You couldn't get any further over the top than they already were.

[FormerACLUmember]

Dowd and Krugman 'Out of Touch'?

Completely out of their minds is more accurate. Liberal zombies who are the living dead.

[Theresawithanh]

I read Krugman's most recent column on Drudge. I'm still in the mood to hear the libs whining. He actually said that some people were saying that the long lines at the polls, something like 5-7 hour waits, were interpreted by some people as trying to discourage voters and suppress votes. While not overtly endorsing that idea, I just thought it was ridiculous for him to bring it up.

[Paleo Conservative]

'Out of Touch'

Out of touch? He's a raving lunatic.

[freakboy]

Krugman had written that Bush is "a radical" who leads "a coalition that deeply dislikes America."

Wow, a coalition that deply dislikes America? I thought bush was the Republican candidate, not the Democratic candidate.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Let 'em keep ranting and raving. Ratings will dwindle until they will be talking to themselves.

[accuses Bush of dividing America along fault lines of] fear, intolerance, ignorance and religious rule

Just a guess but it sounds like Maureen is writing of her own attitudes there.

[SkyPilot]

"The president got reelected by dividing the country along fault lines of fear, intolerance, ignorance and religious rule."

She is only showing her feelings by that rhetoric. She is afraid of the fate of her own soul.

[MadAnthony]

Yaaaawnn. The MSM tried this same rationalization after Ronald Reagan stomped Walter Mondale like J.R. Ewing slapping down Cliff Barnes. Then they wonder why their "Americans are stupid" approach doesn't win the hearts and minds of the public. But, hey, I certainly enjoy the bitter, defeated whimpering of garbage like Dowd!

[Doctor Raoul]

A day before, Dowd had complained: "The president got reelected by dividing the country along fault lines of fear, intolerance, ignorance and religious rule."

To keep it in perspective, Dowd is a granny who goes out clubbing in a Cindy Lauper hand me down dress. She's not well...pray for her...she need it...prayers...and a man.

[Dems_R_Losers]

I like Frank Sesno. He used to frequent the Starbucks in my former office building in Washington. I talked to him a few times and found him very sensible.

I don't see how anyone with a brain can defend those last columns by Krugman and Dowd. Even Dowd seemed to be embarrassed today on MTP when Russert read her words back to her.

[shield]

DITTO...let them keep on thinking this way....they'll never win the WH again...we'll stack the senate and continue to control the house. What's even worst for them is we'll get voter fraud down to a minimum...and every state will become red. ;o)
