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!"

Don't forget one biggie...the clintons didn't want anyone running in 2004 who could win the WH. That would have upset their apple cart!
I suspect you are rather demonstrably afraid of thought and merely like PBS because it coverage most fits your own personal prejudices. Been my experience that anyone who has to boast of their ability to "Think" is actually rationalizing an inability to reason critically at all. Usually turns out the "thinker" merely assumes they are "thinking" because their fringe views are rejected by the vast majority. Rather then THINK, hmmm, why do 9 our of 10 people think I am an idiot, they ASSUME everyone ELSE is the idiot and THEY are "the great thinker". Brickbats?
Hardly. No reason to use a sledgehammer to crack a peanut.
Once the Harvard Feminazis release Larry Summers from the Bella Abzug Memorial Re-Education Camp, Larry, while loudly championing the complete indistinguishably and absolute equality of men and women, will loudly declare that there is complete academic freedom at Harvard. Ward Churchill will vehemently agree.
The reporter who wrote the story is the I in the story.
Isn't this a permanent condition?
Name for me three positve, informative programs aired by PBS that highlite all the GOOD things happening in Iraq and or Afganistan or that highlite the roots and backgrounds of Islamic Terrorism.
Name for me three shows provided by PBS that provide a right of center viewpoint on ANY social or political topic?
I met John Kerry for the first time in January 2001, in Davos, Switzerland...
Although it presents itself as a serious policy machine, Davos’s real point is, of course, networking...
The third day of the conference was my birthday. It was also the evening of the Davos gala, the big social event of the weekend. It was surreal. I hung at the bar next to Naomi Campbell and drank champagne with eBay chairman Pierre Omidyar as a dozen synchronized swimmers glittered in the pool behind us.
LOL.
You are right, of course, but neither do any of the big 3 broadcast networks.

Kerry is a Senatorial Jet Setter
John Kerry would rather hobnob with the jetset, than do his day job.
His presence at Davos won't draw any "Bravos,"
The guy's a well-manicured snob.
ROFLMBO!
When,visibly shaken, I arrived at the visibly shaken university studio for the visibly shaken televised trans-Atlantic debate with a visibly shaken George Soros, the visibly shaken financier, and other visibly shaken representatives of the visibily shaken global elite gathered in the visibly shaken city of Davos, Switzerland. A visibly shaken Florian Rochat of the visibly shaken Swiss delegation was visibly shaken, and waiting for me, who was visibly shaken.The visibly shaken Swiss are known for being visibly shaken and impassive, but a visibly shaken Florian was visibly shaken. "They are arresting visibly shaken protestors in a visibly shaken Davos and other visibly shaken places in a visibly shaken Switzerland," he told me, visibly shaken. "They’re visibly shaking democracy in our visibly shaken country. Our visibly shaken friends there are visibly shaken, and in a visibly shaken manner they are asking you, who are visibly shaken, to support them in calling for the shutting down of the visibly shaken World Economic Forum, which is visibly shaking everything."
BTTT
Southern Democrats are trying to get their primaries moved up because they are tired of unelectable Northeaster liberals having the nomination locked up before swinging south.
And then there is GW. He has been giving Dems fits for a long time. (HAHAHAHA)

I worked in the news biz for 10 years, and I'll tell you why you're mistaken.
The libs need to position Hillary as 'come from behind', 'an underdog', 'against all odds', 'longshot', etc.
They do this by first implanting the idea that she can't win, then feigning amazement when she does (don't you believe for a moment that her people were not involved with- and taking copious notes about- Gore's recount fiasco in Florida... you ain't never seen cheating like we're going to see in 2008 ).
I've seen it set up and executed from the inside-out dozens of times.
We must not let down our guard for even a moment.
