I'm not so sure there's anything for democrats to gloat about. We hear from Peolosi once-in-awhile, but the democrats have been absent from voicing their displeasure with many of this administration's fumblings. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give the democrats a negative 5.

You mean rancour????



There's a fine old fashioned word you don't hear much about these days!


Like splenetic.



Oy, do you think my high school Deutsch would get me through Berlin? I would love to go there.....er, "Ich wolle nach Berlin fahre".


I bet that is wrong.


Sigh.

It does need a little work; but overall, not bad for a Germany hater. You'll get along just fine in Berlin, and I hope you'll consider stopping by in Munich when you get there.

I am kind of puzzled.

I have seen these things written about Bush before lots of times.

Is it really true that they were not written about in "mainstream" media?

If not, why not?

dlowan, I don't speak German, and I got along fine in Berlin last May. Stayed four nites in the Mitti district, and enjoyed myself 100 percent. Or was that 125 percent? Wink

Wow, that's a cornucopia of anti-Bush stories. Quite the motherload. And appropriate for this thread. The other thread, not so much.

Havent got a clue. You've got to wonder. US media must be among the more uncritical in the Western world. How ironic that they still rage on about liberal media bias.

You consider that news? It's a bunch of unsubstantiated opinion and gossip from people who won't even give their names.

Dan Rather might have used it. Of course, he has been banished from news....

The libs have all fallen off the edge of the earth.

I think they were -- as a reader of the (conservative) Wall Street Journal, my impression is that it was at least as critical as the New York Times of Bush's economic decision making, if not more. From what I hear, and what is hard for me to cross-check, this was mainly a TV phenomena. Budget numbers and strategic maps of unknown foreign countries are hard enough to digest in a newspaper, but on TV they're practically impossible to get across. It's much easier to show your TV audience that your president is a hero uniting the nation -- especially when this is what your audience wants to see.

BREAKING NEWS FLASH!

Lash has finally admitted that she is among the brilliant few who believe that Planet Earth is flat!

To reward her for that outstanding scientific discovery, we are giving Lash a free pass to the Intelligent Design Convention being held in the free fall zone at the Eastern edge of the Earth.

Free parachutes are provided to all particpants.
