What’s the point? October 02, 2002
Excerpt:
The moron, Margaret Warner of PBS’ News Hour is a good
example. During her early October segment about the Torricelli campaign dropout disaster, talking to a fellow named Batz from the Washington Post, and a narrow-faced liberal from some other location, something important didn’t come up. Jim Jeffords.
The topic was the possible loss of the senate by the Democrats in the coming election. You should get a copy of the text from that session. If you didn't know how it actually happened, and just went by what these clowns had to say, the Democrats won back the senate in a voting booth!
What actually happened was that Jeffords disenfranchised the voters of Vermont. After marking a ballot for a Republican they discovered that they hadn't. Every voter who selected his name, believing that doing so would help the Republicans keep control of the senate, was cheated. After Jeffords had the win, he changed his party to Independent and gave the Senate to the Democrats. The similarity between that, and what's going on in New Jersey is comparable to genetic cloning.
The ability of liberal “journalists” to leave out the central question is titanic.
Jean Carnahan (D. Missouri) won her senate seat by defeating the evil John Ashcroft. That's what you're left with after Warner gets through ignoring the facts. The truth is that Ashcroft refused to be so rude as to say anything critical of a recently-widowed woman who had stepped into her dead husband’s campaign for the senate. And, after Ashcroft handed her the seat, the first thing the ungrateful bitch did was to vote against his appointment as Attorney General! He gave her the senate, and in return she stabbed him in the back.
When discussing that one, Warner forgot to mention the last part.
Not that liberals can't turn on their own kind. Torricelli (D., New Jersey) didn't quit out of a noble sense of love for his country or his party. Somebody told him to get out or get hammered. Aware from the polls that his campaign was going down the tubes, and their grasp of the senate with it, somebody way up in the party told him to take a walk or face a Democrat committee in the senate, and be ground into hamburger on charges of corruption. Quit or find his pension rejected and any hope of future appointment to office gone, gone, gone.
