1. and now the reichwing is whining that "she is everywhere"

5. She has just arrived in NY.

Can't tell which NY airport but she is standing just outside the terminal for her interview with Anderson.

Given that she has flown to NY I am guessing she will be on every morning show tomorrow. And now she really will be everywhere. She looks tired. Hope she gets to sleep tonight.

She is truly amazing.

JFTR - she continues to indicate that the WH was involved in the decision. I liked what she said about the new job offer. Translation - I won't take a show position to help the WH and Vilsack politically.

I like the panel of local folks on CNN right now. CNN is lucky to be geographically well located for this story out of Georgia.

2. Did you hear Anderson Cooper's opening comments?

In essence, "both sides do it, both the Right and the Left." He made this point at least twice near the beginning of his show. I'd like to see his examples of the left doing this sort of crap.

3. Anderson Cooper is just following the CNN theme...we don't "take sides".

Idiots, useless idiots.

4. "useless idiots"

Agreed. Reverse Leninism.

6. He said "Why let the truth stop you when you are making political points?"

They do it on the left and on the right.

I can give you an example on the left but you won't like it. But here goes. The Obama campaign labeling Hillary and Bill Clinton racists is a perfect example. It was done to score political points -specifically to win South Carolina. It was not the truth - it was a political strategy.


I will not respond to anyone who claims this did not happen. I don't have any interest in getting in an argument and reliving the primary.

7. Not to argue the point but...

"Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here." - Bill Clinton, 01/26/08

No mention of any other past Democratic Presidential candidates' performance in South Carolina? Why the focus specifically on Jesse Jackson?

Believe whatever you like...
