They'll just keep moving the goal posts until they get the spin they want.

The media talking points are out this morning....CNN is saying we should wait and see if the election was a success because of the level of violence. MSNBC is hyping up the fact that the voter turnout is low in Fallujah that the election is a failure..

What a bunch of whiners.

How can anybody with a soul look at the expressions on the Iraqis' faces and feel this war was wrong? These people are experiencing freedom for the first time in their lives. Some of them are weeping with joy and the smiles are those that light up the entire face.

Anybody who can seek negativity from this has to be the biggest loser, self-loathing, misanthropic scumbag who hates freedom and democracy.

They're no better than the terrorists, for crying out loud.

From the MSM perspective there are two big problems. Too many Iraqis voting and too few terrorist attacks.

Kerry will be on the Sunday talk shows this morning. It will beibteresting to see his take on the vote. He can provide insight on concession, malfeasance and vote fraud..

Watching local morning news, typical perky dumb blond interviewing an iraqi ex pat re: election.

q: Is the election not going to work because of the divisions in the country?

a: The election is already working- because for the first time in thousands of years the people of Iraq are human beings, forming their own destiny.

Guest went on to talk about how he could not travel to a US city to vote but all of his family left in Iraq had gone to the polls today. (He was choking up.) She was trying to move him on, but he wouldn't stop talking until he said words to this effect.

"The sacrifice of the young men and women of the military has not been in vain. Democracy is growing in Iraq like a tree. Their blood is in the soil of a democratic Iraq today."

"....the man replied no he cannot vote, but this will always be a day that he and the baby will always remember."

Iraq....the next generation.

Van Hipp was just on Fox and his contacts are telling him there are 800 in line to vote in Fallujah.

Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice will be on Fox News Sunday. THAT is who I am going to watch. I will read Alas, Babylon!'s thread for Kerry news...I can't stand to watch him.

It's going to be an interesting editorial meeting tonight at the New York Times.

I imagine there will be an angry editorial. It will say, "60% voter turn out means this most recent Iraqi election is a catastrophic failure when you consider that under Saddam Hussein 99.999% of eligible Iraqis voted."

There will probably be a "news" story saying that the voter turn out was "low" because "American soldiers intimidated Iraqi voters."

The goal posts are three miles outside the stadium with these liberal idiots.


Somebody mentioned that they were almost to the point of playing the funeral dirge on CNN. I wonder if we can expect to see black armbands at some point today.

Just watched CNN, "will american deaths cast a shadow over the bush legacy"..or some such tripe. They're really scraping the bottom.

Of course they are. The Iraqi government is a Bush stooge and this vote is a meaningless sham. You've been warned.

I am going to be sick. On CNN they just can't say that this was a success and they just showed a flag draped coffin w/ the title "The cost of the war".

Making themselves more irrelevant, if that's possible.

Newsweek reporter on Fox now, "I have to say, it's going better than I thought it would." Hehehehehe.
