6. We all know how much the speech sucked
Why on earth would one want to distort that?

Hello? They're media whores. Turn it off.

9. Stephanopoulus saying Bush has read books.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure he has.

C'mon, Will. Sometimes the spin is fun. Although I admit it's a lot better since I found the cute button that gives me closed captioning when I mute the sound.

29. Wasn't Stephanopoulis
once one of the good guys? Or am I mixing him up with someone else. Even if he was, he's gotten a taste for come. He's quite the whore.

21. Those who put their heads in the sand cannot win the battle
Watch the spin, people, and dissect it, develop attacks against it and win the battle.

22. I didn't watch
I was watching a non-network channel, and conveniently forgot the asshole was on. Until, that is, 10:00, when my Directv turned over to CBS for CSI: NY, and I heard that horrible voice. I almost had a heart attack. I turned it immediately to something else, and thankfully only "inhaled" a brief few seconds of that rant.

I wonder: will we be able to get through the next four horrifying years without having to see that asshole or hear him lying even once? I really hope it's possible.

What's funny is that I managed to do that for the most part during 41's reign of terror. Now, I'm beginning to think that his reign would be heavenly in comparison. :\
