Anyone see the C-span converage of the Journalists of Color Convention?
I'm talking about yesterday with Bush at the podium. I couldn't believe my eyes. The journalists did everything except turn their backs on him. The smug looks and non-attentive stares were awesome!
I almost felt sorry for him. Almost! :bounce:

They are not buying his BUSHIT! Yeah for them. One guy couldn't take it anymore, and he was escorted out after he made some remarks which weren't picked up by the microphone.

Now I didn't see Kerry on Thursday, but I'm guessing it had to go better. If they didn't "stone him", it went better.

Anyone have a link to any news reports?

5. Didn't you see that opinion on the faces in the crowd?
I thought it was stunning to see the blantant disgust in the crowd. Wonderfully stunning, but I was surprised to see the magnitude.

3. Debates
If he is unable to articulate a thought as he was on CSPAN yesterday, this election will not be close - I have never seem him give such a poor performance - and I have seen many bad performances.

8. So,
4 years later, when the press once again says

"Who are you going to believe, us, or your lying eyes?"


do you think the American people will buy it again?

4. Found only one...
...news report of Kerry at the UNITY convention and that was yesterday's USAToday. Actually, it was brilliant - contrasting Kerry's speech next to the pResident's, Kerry came off as wonderfully articulate and polite compared to the 8th-grade mannerless scattered 'speech' of Bush. The crowd reaction was totally the opposite of the pResident's too.

I really enjoyed the part of the pResident's speech where the guy in the crowd called him a liar...or the fake emotional reaction to the prosthetic hands - I don't think I've ever laughed so hard.

11. Here's the link:

Roland Martin is a graduate of Texas A&M, a nationally sydicated columnist, writes for the Chicago Defender and represents the Nat'l. Assoc. of Black Journalists.

Go to 35:00 and then to 52:00 and see for yourself how this Black Texan plays rope-a-dope with the *dauphin. He simply does the Texas "good ol' boy" thang , poses the question CLEARLY, then steps back and allows the *fool to make a COMPLETE ASS of himself. I repeat, COMPLETE *ASS.

They were quite "chummy" in the shots before *dimson made his exit. I've no doubt as I watched that Mr Martin was "put on notice" right then and there. He tripped up the *chimp BIG TIME. :scared:
