Let the Explaining Begin! - By Howard Kurtz
From every corner of the media empire, the explanations come fast and furious:

The Democrats were clueless on moral values. John Kerry was a lousy candidate. A northerner can't win anymore. The Bush team was better at manipulating the press. No one trusts the Democrats on national security. The gay marriage issue badly hurt the party. The Democrats need to move right, or left, or south, or undergo a personality transplant, or change the Constitution so Bill Clinton can run again.

Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto is showing no remorse for an on-air crack about Osama bin Laden wearing a Kerry button that infuriated John Kerry's campaign.

Cavuto told viewers last week that his "thin-skinned" and "humorless critics seem to have selective memory." Recalling all the Democrats he's had on his show, Cavuto dismissed "threats from Democrats who now say they will boycott my show. I say, go ahead. Boycott me. Fair and balanced, I'll continue to invite you, and I'll let my viewers know when you decline -- each and every time you do."

1. Not a word about fraud
in all of his "explanations." Boy people REALLY don't want to talk about this...not even to try to ridicule it.

3. "A northerner can't win anymore." - Then why stay in the US?
Those who scoff at secession, if a northern candidate can't win, what's the point?

5. What a putz.
"Fair and balanced, I'll continue to invite you, and I'll let my viewers know when you decline -- each and every time you do."

OOH, SCARY! Who does this worthless clown think he is?

7. I still think we can be exactly who we are, we don't need to move
to the right. I know you all don't agree with me but I still believe in Howard Dean and he has some good ideas.

We just need to find a way to get the message out and someone to deliver it. Screw the media. I still believe we will have some help from Bush. He has a hell of a mess to clean up and no money to do it with.
