Jim Lehrer, on his NewsHour program on PBS on Friday night, ridiculed John Kerry for calling for filibuster from "the ski slopes." Click the link above for the entire transcript. Liberal Mark Shields and conservative columnist David Brooks both joined Lehrer for some Kerry bashing.

This exchange is making left-wing radicals furious, who are now calling Mark Shields a "Republican stooge" and a "Fox News Democrat." One leftist website had this to say to Mark Shields, long time CNN analyst:

"This is the most despicable performance in your long career of pretending to be a Democrat. If you love George Bush with such devotion, then go register as a Republican today. Better yet, pick up a gun and go fight his disastrous war in Iraq. And give your "Democratic" spot on PBS to a REAL Democrat - someone with the cojones to stand up to the Emperor Without Clothes and his mouthpiece, Jim Lehrer!"

"Chris Matthews is a Rove stooge!!"
Now I've heard everything!!

And they will go the way of the Edsel.
Great metaphor. Great workl. :)

"I don't understand why his state would elect him. "

WHY DOES HIS STATE ELECT TEDDY THE DRUNK?
Brain dead MORONS.

I think Kerry will get my support in the primary......

...left-wing radicals are now calling Mark Shields a "Republican stooge"

This is what's known as a "half-truth".

'Panty' Shields loves BUSH?! This is PRICELESS.

You can't get anymore rumswab, DNC-liberal than Mark Shields... as sure a sign as any that the new, Dem base is no longer Democrat... and past liberal.

What we're dealing with now is the “Enviro-Socialist, Peace & Pro-Gay Party”

I would not call Lehrer a moonbat.

Allow me to do it for you. Lehrer is a moonbat. With a capital "moon" and a capital "bat".

Don't kid yourself! They are dummer than you think. This isn't about Alito, it has always been about the disdain they hold for W. They have from the start and will to the end of his administration do all that they can no matter the consequences or the lives of soldiers that are killed try to disrupt this administration from accomplishing anything. Fortunately for us the lemmings will destroy themselaves in the process.

I would not call Lehrer a moonbat.

No, I think he's called "the baggy-eyed Bolshevik"...

regarding your photo, it should read "The millionaire and her toy-boy"

[griswold3]

Conservatives (not Republicans) have learned the art of "critical thinking".
I get a kick out of liberals trying to explain why we vote how we do. They just don't get it.

So, again, the democrat/liberals/socialists show their hatred and prejudices: EVEN THEIR "OWN" media can't criticize their "leaders" - when those leaders are clearly wrong.

What is their motto: "All democrat/only democrat/no criticism ever .... All repubbie/only repubbie/all criticism forever?"

Is their ANY room for discussion or disagreement over strategy and tactics allowed within their party? Is this group of socialists forbidding even their own "media" from discussing the give and take of political tactics?

LOL. Devious as ever, miss mama. Can we possibly het a whole other campaign during which to take shots at him?

I think what Shields said that really sent the moonbats over the edge was this comment on Kerry's motivation:

the only known cure for the presidential virus is embalming fluid

"In other words, at one time, to de-spin the news, you had to have the dedication of a sovietologist and you had to read carefully between the lines. Most of us in the conservative camp have done this our whole lives, reflexively, it comes naturally. "

Spot on recollection. Until about 1996, I felt so all alone. You'd rarely meet another conservative thinker, so you had to do it all yourself in the wilderness. It really was out of 1984, mind control.

You'd think his handlers might know better

His handler in Davos was Lady T, and since she thinks Switzerland is just divine and the Davos meeting is bringing together the best and the brightest and the most beautiful people in the world .....

Who could object to pontification from on high?

Just those silly great unwashed rubes in flyover country with their pickup trucks and chain saws--and nobody listens to them anyway.
