"Point of order! The chairman did not specify the time zone. Request clarification on the time zone.

"WHAT????

Don't pull that juridic detritus on the learned Freepriatus present at this proceeding! You have a franchise to exercise ---now git back to the table and git yer suffrage on record!

Or I'll tell Mom on you!!

[BillF]

The Valentine brothers are still caucusing. Several votes have been taken. Angry words have been exchanged. A lunch break has been declared.

If you guys have an undervote, does that mean that you intended to vote for Algore?

[Exit148]

The Media Research's report on the media and Iraq came out today. Peter didn't do too well. HeeHee!

[Angelwood]

Did I hear my name just now? What are you pesky boys up to -- more procrastinating on your homework assignment! A case of Lastminuteitis?

If you don't make the time limit, no Cherry Tootsie Roll Pops for you!

I hope they changed their clocks a couple of weeks ago. Can't let them use that as a reason for getting in under the wire.

(OOPS-- did I give them an excuse???)

Thanks for the link Exit148. Peter Jennings gets an F. :-)

Angelwood, is it to late to add Peter Jennings to the list?

• Grading the Anchors: All of the network anchors received high grades except for the highly tendentious Peter Jennings, who played up any defeatist angle he could find.

Five days before Baghdad fell, Pentagon reporter John McWethy warned, “This could be, Peter, a long war.” Jennings felt vindication: “As many people had anticipated.”

Grading TV's War News

[kristinn]

No excuses. No hanging chads, no dimpled chads, and Pat Buchanan is not on the ballot.

[BillF]

Jordan/CNN (aka "Collaborators Network News")

R.W. Apple - stuck in 60s quagmire still thinking of Vietnam

Senator Robert KKK Byrd

Minority Leader Pelosi - blame America SF-area Dem

Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders - traitor who should be banished to North Korea to see the type of Stalinist regime that she hoped would be victorous in Iraq

Scott Ritter - send him to a Burger King on another planet

Helen Thomas - send her to France to question Jacques ChIRAQ, that will punish them both

Michael Moore - Marxist making misleading movies

Katie Couric - "hopefully" she will be taken to Syria & left there

Wesley Clark - He's blinded by ambition. If only my mute button worked on him and not just the TV.

[Exit148]

Thanks for posting that graphic! The whole report goes into detail, but those grades tell it all.

I get a daily e-mail report from the Media Research Center -- (the same one they post on their site) and Peter is listed every single day -- in a negative way. He is surely going to top their non-awards, next year! HeeHee!

"...does that mean that you intended to vote for Algore?"

My chad is hanging to the left.

[Exit148]

"No excuses. No hanging chads, no dimpled chads, and Pat Buchanan is not on the ballot.

Did you cover every possible excuse? (LOL!)

Tomorrow, I plan to be on this thread at 11:55 EDT, and watch the countdown to noon. I also will be at the Press Freep on Sat. with folded arms and tapping foot, waiting to hear the poor excuse from the JVs if they don't make the deadline!

If they squeeze in, even at the last second ---- then they will get a pass and maybe even a pat on the back for a completed and well-done job.

But we'll see------------!

[Exit148]

One last beddie-bye BUMP.

wheres mikey moore the fat bastage deserves 2 of these awards one to sit on and the other to pivot the spin!

[Dutchgirl]

How did I miss this?

On the other hand, ABC’s Ted Koppel spent his time pontificating as if he — not the vast military force that surrounded him — was the real star. “Forget the easy victories of the last twenty years; this war is more like the ones we knew before,” he announced at the end of Nightline on March 24. “Telling you if and when things are going badly for U.S. troops, enabling you to bear witness to the high cost of war, is the hard part of our job,” he promised viewers, “We’ll do our very best to give you the truth in the hope and the belief that you can handle it.”

Oh yeah, now I remember, now that I have FNC, I don't watch this crap passing as journalism any more.
