I guess they didn't get to that in her cram session on world politics 101. Now that she's done saying (lying) that she was against the bridge to nowhere - or will that be her mantra the entire election?<BR/>Sorry for the rant, i guess i should have done that over at my lace - but it is Joke Friday.rdlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062856086277201874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26966147.post-37075174474949771922008-09-05T19:33:00.000-04:002008-09-05T19:33:00.000-04:00A few words about Daily Kos. It is a "website" but...A few words about Daily Kos. It is a "website" but it's very open-ended community that grants its members broad permission to post their opinions. When I first learned of the Palin rumors (baby not Sarah's, etc.) I looked up the "diary" and saw that the person who wrote it was getting a lot of flak from other members who thought he had gone too far in peddling innuendo without any evidence. I caution against automatically discrediting anything you read or hear about that associated with Daily Kos simply thru guilt by association. It's obviously a partisan site but there's a lot of good writing and thoughtful essays to read there - including Julie Bogart's stuff. I am not active there, just to let you know.<BR/><BR/>I watched the O'Reilly clip as well and I have a hard time imagining him ever being as intrusive with Bush or Cheney or McCain as he was with Obama - beyond just tougher questions, he also interrupted and talked over Obama on several occasions, without letting Barack finish his sentences. Obama remained poised and made O'Reilly look like a chump anyway. I don't think Bill deserves many props for his conduct but I'm glad they both had a chance to sit down and talk.David Blakesleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167200509158903679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26966147.post-79959881529903020822008-09-05T15:28:00.000-04:002008-09-05T15:28:00.000-04:00Oh, thankfully I don't read stuff there either. S...Oh, thankfully I don't read stuff there either. Sadly, the fact that the media is even tracking those sites and talking about them (which is where I found out about it) seems to give it much more legitimacy than it deserves.<BR/><BR/>I did watch the first part; thought it went very well. O'Reilly (who I normally don't watch) seemed to hold back as much as he could, but still challenge Obama a bit. Looking forward to the remaining parts.<BR/><BR/>To me, Walter Cronkite and his generation were mainstream. Those days are long gone.NoVA Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661990626635939447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26966147.post-1403947765638805592008-09-05T15:24:00.000-04:002008-09-05T15:24:00.000-04:00Daily Kos website.. now I get it Matt..

Certainly not the main stream flavor.. right?<BR/><BR/>Did you see O'Reilly's Obama interview? Thought this first installment went well. The rest airs next week. <BR/><BR/>Guess I don't consider Bill, Rush or Keith mainstream either :)kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.com
