CNN just doesn't get it - they talk about "bipartisanship" & then talk about Bolton as if they just
forgot the last segment!

Talk about Bolton nomination from the perspective of "will the Democrats behave in a "building bridges" instead of "the (LYING FUCKING WAR CRIMINAL)has just LIED again - talking about "bipartisanship" and stick another finger in the Democrats eyes by insisting on Bolton's nomination"!

It makes my blood boil - again!

This is what we have to look forward to.

1. This is why we have to take the reins and frame the debate
As in the Americans don't want the status quo.
That's not what they elected. John Bolton is the status quo.
Who is your next nominee?

2. "building bridges" a slogan straight from Steele's campaign
They want us to "build bridges" and cross over them to the dark side.

No thanks.

6. Exactly. Or, they don't care that you get it --
They are the corporate media and they will frame it for the 'pukes, no matter what.

7. They still think 'bipartisanship' means dems begging for doggie treats
C'mon, this is not a surprise, and it's not going to change anytime soon. Get ready to hear the phrase "obstructionist democrats" over and over and over...

CNN reporters are still cowed by the GOP and still beholden to their corporate masters. CNN is still in it for the money. None of this changed on Tuesday. CNN will NEVER give us a fair shake. NEVER. They couldn't do it if they tried. Their brains have all been wired in accordance with Kool Kids conventional wisdom.

8. Wasn't Bolton already rejected by a bipartisan coalition?
Odd to think that Mr. Bush, with all his pious mouthings about how he's really, really going to work with the Democrats now that he has no other choice, is trying to slip this previously-rejected nomination through one more time.

That sure doesn't look very bipartisan to me, CNN. But what do I know? I'm just some guy with a dial-up modem, and you're the most trusted voice in the world for news.
