Just now on ABC newscast Peter (alias - Dick) Jennings had the temerity to actually go to Big D - Dallas, Texas and get a 'man-on-the-street' opinion of what Dallasites think of the world in general.

Dubya got the expected high marks all around and then Jennings asked one man what Dallas residents think of things and the man replies:

"Well, nobody like YOU!"

Right in Jennings weasily little face!!

Jennings spun it to mean that folks were mad at media in general, but I guarantee you this guy meant Peter Jennings personally!

Man, what a treat.

I guess ABC wont be planning any more visits to Dalllas anytime soon. BEEEEEAAUUUUTIFFFULLLLL!!

No doubt about it - MRC will have it in the early hours of the a.m. If I get here in the morning and it's not here, I'll post it. Can't wait to see this clip!

"ACTUALLY - - - - - It was PJ doing a man-on-the-street outside Cowboy Stadium....

PJ asked if the interviewee had "anything to say about how we're covering the news ? ? ?"

The 45? yo white guy said "....well, we don't like you"

Can we find that guy and give him a parade?

No, I think they meant the Peter Jennings who sits in his ivory tower as a New York media hack, but who's rightful place should be doing traffic reports for the local radio station in Flin Flon, Manitoba.

Good stuff. Send him back to Toronto. (Not that I have anything against the good people of Toronto.)

I so wish he'd call it quits, throw in the towel and return to Canada.

I think it is great that ABC has the courage to keep him. Just as the Rats have the courage to stay tight with the Clin-Toons. That is one beautiful thing about freedom. Your freedom exposes what kind of person you are.

Texas also gave us LBJ and Dan Rather.

Aw, come on now....we didn't want em either!! Giving the USA George W. Bush ought to make up for that, huh? :-)

Careful about mentioning LBJ and Dan Rather in the same sentence. Those guys hated each other. At least LBJ hated Rather.

PJ is in town for a few hours, and then a cold wind descends upon us. Coincidence?

[magglepuss]

When PJ does townhalls in northeast, there are hundreds present. On wfaa-tv channel 8 in Dallas does a townhall, there are dozens. I'm sure there was some design to that.

Made the mistake of walking into Bush Country, did he?

[magglepuss]

Whoops!

Guess everying is big in Texas...... :)

Nighttime speed limits are not -- big. 65 MPH is the nighttime speed limit on the interstates, as I found out the hard way. :(

"I thought everyone in Texas spoke spanish, and were no taller than 5 foot. I thought Mexico controlled texas now."

I guess LBJ did have one redeeming quality, huh? :-)

Funny how George Bush Expressway moves at 75 -80 mph and LBJ Freeway moves at about 30 mph
