For someone as supposedly rich as Leno is, he sure takes cheap shots.

I will blame Bearded Bruce, just for fun. :-) Seriously, man, get a real hobby! You're losing a valuable piece of your life to this useless partisan BS...

Both of those political parties are as dishonest, corrupt, and useless as the issue of a drunken hog crossbred with a Schenectady divorce lawyer.

bb, you are NOT her intellectual equal. On a bad day she could run rings around you, so watch yourself, fellow. If she so decides, you will be sliced and diced. However, she may prefer to consider the source and let it go; see it as a mental spasming on your part. I hope so for you.

I was commenting on the cheap shots. Or are they only cheap shots when you support the target?

GUEST,!?!?! -

In the words of the Democratic candidate's wife, "Shove it!"

I have not challanged anyone's intelligence or competence- I do say, IMO, that the comments posted have been cheap shots at Bush. It seems a little hypocritical to complain about Leno's statements- at least they are all true.

BB says to me, 'In the words of the Democratic candidate's wife, "Shove it!"'

Freda says to me, "ps GUEST,!?!?! - pm me if you're over 45 and under 105..."

I rest my case.

I voted for John Kerry before I voted against him.

PS- My cousin sent me that humour file that Freda posted months ago.   It missed that he traded Sammy Sosa when he owned the texas rangers.   I consider that the biggest mistake of all the items stated in that resume.   Any one who takes that resume as more than a humor file is a moron or a brain dead partisan.   If we want a serious discussion we need to move past the hit pieces from either side.

"Kerry says that Bush is incompetent. Bush says Kerry can't make up his mind. The funny thing is that they are both right." Jay Leno, September 23, 2004

IF Kerry loses, there will be one main culprit -- maybe two.

The second one is the paper-trail-free, unverifiable electronic voting machines.   Jeb Bush's Florida machine is very likely to siphon off some of Kerry's votes and switch them to Nader. That's why they've fought so hard to get Nader on the Florida ballot. Ohio and Florida are both in danger of "going for" Bush officially even if the majority of their voters vote for Kerry.

The biggest problem, of course, is the media -- radio and TV in particular. Radio talk shows are horrendously lopsided, with about 90 percent having a blatantly right-wing bias and many of them quite unfettered by any concern for factual accuracy.
TV "news," by contrast is mainly superficial and lame. They treat the upcoming election as just another horse race and seldom do the important job of investigative reporting or of correcting factual inaccuracies spouted by either party.
TV "news" is more likely to parrot and perpetuate campaign lies and distortions than to hold them up to the light for examination.
The public is NOT getting to hear the views and plans of ANY candidates via the TV news media.   All they hear is a handful of soundbites.

I wish the mainstream media could bring themselves to present what the candidates are actually saying -- and spend a lot less time commenting on it, except when clear-cut inaccuracies need to be pointed out .    Maybe then we'd know which candidates the voters really prefer.
