I'm watching "Born to Run" on CNN. I thought it was going to be a biograp
biography type thing. I'm astounded at how insulting it is to Kerry. It is nothing more than a smear piece disguised as some sort of documentary.

I know they have done some kind of program on Bush. I have not seen it, but I was wondering if it had people saying insulting things in it like the one on Kerry does.

2. Yea, I hated it.
Surprisingly, before that though they had a "People in the News" profile of John Edwards and I thought it was very positive. Of course, they threw in the criticisms from Repubs of Edwards being a bad, bad, bad lawyer man, but coming away from it I had a very good impression of Edwards.

3. Hey, it's CNN.
What else could be expected? They have to out-whore Faux. I turned those asswads off completely a couple months ago and I feel ever so much better.

4. It's about 70% antiKerry from that Bushmoonie Crowley.
She really is a TRAITOR to democracy itself, the way she pushes the incompetent Bush on this nation.

9. The Bush equivalent is not a puff piece, but not as bad as Candy's...
Kerry hit-piece. I thought we were done with "Born to Run" after it aired multiple times around the convention. With the new poll numbers, Karl probably rang up and told CNN to dust it off -- or Candy said, "Hey, let's air 'Born to Run' again - heh, heh...."

10. Those ass-clowns ran something on "health of the pres. candidates"
Of course, spending lots of time talking about what great f*cking health Bush supposedly is in (despite the fact that his heart only beats, like, 3 times an hour.. very telling in my humble opinion) ...Of course, then we have to talk about how Kerry had prostate cancer-- presumably making him a greater "risk" as Commander in Chief. Statistics about the (very small) relapse rates for people who catch prostate cancer as early as Kerry...

What's missing?

Yeah, you got it. Where the hell are the statistics for relapse rates for alcoholics? Doesn't the fact that Bush's "youthful indiscretions" (youth being until age 40) included years and years of serious problem drinking, not to mention snorting half of Peru? Isn't that worth maybe a teeeny little mention in an hour long rundown on the presidential candidates' health?

Nope. Not on Crap-NN.
