I was in a great mood until I turned on Hardball tonight
What a bunch of fucking whores.

The worst one was that asshole from Newsweek who said he suspects there is a secret Bush vote out there that goes undetected by the polls. He just pulled that out of his ass.

Craig Crawford of MSNBC just looked at the rest of them as if he suddenly realized he was the only sane person in an asylum.

Tweety and Pat Buchanan were quoting those fucked up Mason Dixon polls that show Bush is going to take every battleground state, saying they don't see how Kerry can possibly pull it out.

I was going to watch Fox on Election Night so I could gloat at their disappointment, but I think I'd rather watch MSNBC now so I can watch Tweety and Buchanan shamelessly proclaim they knew Kerry would win all along.

Dear God, this election can't be over soon enough.

3. If your report is accurate, that would be Matthews'
fifth or sixth time calling it for one or the other, only to change. Why people pay him any mind at all is a total mystery to me.

Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 03:26 AM by pmn
If it was then you should read this

Wolcott puts that smug little twit Fineman in his place.

5. Well, then it's your own fault, isn't it?
Don't watch that shit, you will never get satisfaction. It will be a matter of minutes before they start tearing apart "President Elect Kerry".

You can't win with these people.

6. Why do you bother to watch that crap?
Watch something else, Read a book, knit a sweater, masterbate, Walk your dog, (even if its imaginary) anything but watch that crap.

10. Turn off MSNBC NOW!!! Save your sanity and good humor.

I thought I'd puke earlier today when Buchanan & Tweety were talking about
bush* and his 'charm' and saying no one likes Kerry.

I can't wait until they have to say PRESIDENT KERRY! :7

12. And I forgot to mention Andrea Mitchell
She started out talking about how all the battleground states were trending to Bush. And she went downhill from there.

She needs to go back to the Moscow bureau where she's more comfortable reporting on the thugocracy.

13. just look at what they are-

They're middle aged white American men, generally from between the Appalachians and Rockies and with little real experience of the rest of the world, elevated to where they are because the conservative owners of their media groups liked them enough. They weren't selected for their critical thinking skills about their own category of people- if anything, probably more the opposite. They've been through a 36 year period during which people like themselves and their bosses and mentors- also middle aged white Heartland men- had a lot of say, if not all the say, about everything in the Beltway.

Of course they can't easily imagine that the world isn't ordered this way permanently, where conservatives are safe and powerful seemingly forever. Even if they know it in an intellectual sense, which a good portion do.

It hit Newt Gingrich on Election Day of 1998 that the Conservative Revolution was in retreat. It hit the Christian Right theocrats on that day of March 1999 on which Bill Clinton escaped removal. It hit the RNC on Election Day of 2000 when Florida and the Upper Midwest went flaky on them and the Supreme Court Five six weeks later, the day after giving the verdict in Bush v. Gore. It hit the Bush Administration in December of last year when they realized Iraq put them under 50% approval for the first time, and again when George's little High Priest act fell apart under the limelight in Coral Gables on September 30.

And a Kerry majority will do quite a number on all these good panelists, dancing a jig on ice a good bit thinner than they hope and wish and want to imagine.
