Have I hit bottom?
I finally get a chance to catch some time on DU - and I read Skinner's thread on the cave - watch KO discuss the cave-in. I turn on my t.v. - and Tucker Carlson is on one channel, and Lou Dobbs is still on immigration on the other.

Where is a Dem to turn?

2. there's a thought.
so what did I miss on this cave-in? Was there a run up to it? Was there a fax-a-thon like for the filibuster?

Did we all sit around figuring this would never happen?

Has Jon Stewart had at this yet?

7. I know. It's like nothing has changed. I listen to NPR's ATC on the way
Edited on Wed May-23-07 05:46 PM by bluerum
to and from work.

They are all but mute on the goings on. A short 4 minute blurb on Goodling. No depth. Someone hands a "reader" some copy and on the air it goes.

Lately I have heard some of the saddest, rancid, putrid, meaningless stories. Meanwhile a gang of thugs and criminals are running the country into the ground. It is embarrassing when you consider what NPR and ATC's roots were.

I can only imagine what TV is like. That's why I don't watch it. Lately I have had to limit my exposure to ATC as well.

12. Turn to MSNBC, 8 pm ET, rerun midnight ET
and, with about 15-10 minutes to go to the end of the show, watch Keith Olbermann hand the Dems (and the Repukes) their collective asses.
