This rant is about YOU

[underpants]

Yeah YOU.

I started out by reading one of the most horrible pieces of crap "journalism" I have ever read. I am not attacking the messenger here but when I hear this as the centerpiece of rightwing radio AND the center of outrage here on DU I see that you all took the damned bait.

The Feingold Resolution and the Sound of Silence

Just look at the absurd wordage that Milbank uses:
demurred
protested
an awkward wait
tried to hide from reporters
out a back door as if escaping a fire
nonplused
darted out of an elevator and into lunch when he thought nobody was looking.


And you all are buying this crap? Since when is the press reporting on anything close to the truth?

Look at these headlines from google news of "feingold censure"

Feingold Censure Move May Give Bush a Boost on Security Debate
Democrats See Feingold's Censure Resolution As Political Boomerang
Censure stunt

Do any of those make any sense? They do? HOW?

A motion to at least censure is filed TWO DAYS AGO and the press gets their marching orders to criticize the Democrats for not running out to microphones to offer some short term resolution, in terms of supporting it, and you buy this?

Hell the press actually reported on the Republicans sitting around a hospice in Florida a year ago doing nothing but saying "There are a lot of questions" to each other in different ways for over a MONTH and the whole country stopped to listen to it. Every stinking day. Dragging it out. Now the Democrats provide the perfect non-ending fodder for talk shows and what happens? Nothing in fact it is turned around on them in 48 hours by whom? .....THE PRESS

And you buy this?

This is right out of the playbook-turn a strength (someone actually stood up and did something in the US CONGRESS) into a weakness----> decisiveness is timidity and indecision. And you buy this?

Bush gets a WIN by having his blatant crime brought into the light- the official documented light?

And you buy this?

Seriously people it has been TWO DAYS. They dragged a non-event (Whitewater) on for what 6 years and created mission creep on the likes never even imagined before. Let's see, who was it that fostered and nurtured that nonsense daily? thinking...... hmm who was it now.....


Call your Senators. Tell them we want really long drawn out hearings on this. We want ever tiny little detail investigated and then investigated again and THEN ask them about it again.

The point here is that doing things in one or two news cycles gets you just that one or two news cycles. So everyone isn't supporting it yet did it ever dawn on you that that was the STINKING POINT?
