I haven't had pajamas in 35 yrs. The Army broke me of that habit...

We're not the smartest people in the world but when a faction overplays their hand like the msm did, they descend to what I call the level of the water cooler joke. This isn't bad if you're Jerry Seinfeld, but if you're Dan Rather it's poison. First Kerry became a WCJ, then Rather, then the media as a whole. Brokaw was lucky to get out when he did.
One question I've always had: Why did Brokaw sound drunk, a stroke victim, or like he had a speech impediment only when he was on the news? He sounded normal otherwise.
I don't wear pajamas.
Although if I get to a certain place in life I'm going to drape myself in nothing but black pajamas all the time.
I was just thinking of "Freeyet Cong" or something. Didn't they always fight in pajamas?
"It was a bad election for old media."
What a bunch of hooey. The old media was extremely effective and they did deliver their 15%. They just weren't able to deliver 18%.
Thanks for the ping Arrowhead.
Last Tuesday, I had the privilege and honor of attending a talk by Admiral Paul Hoffman (Swift Boat Veterans for Truth). He spoke about how the MSM totally ignored and/or dismissed the SBVFT without any comment. He said if it wasn't for the web and Fox, they wouldn't have been able to get their message out, acquire donations, and make and show "commercials." He and his forces had an extreme impact on the election - without the MSM.
