More "wisdom" from the ABC Note
There is nothing that President Bush and Vice President Cheney hate more than the Washington culture in which the dominant media teams up with scalp-seeking Democrats to focus on personality and blame, rather than the hard work of solving problems.

There is so much wrong with that statement - I hardly know where to start.

First, who controls the three branches of government? Ding, ding, ding - that's right - the Right! Both Houses, the White House, and the SCOTUS. Who controls the agenda? So, who isn't getting the hard work done? That's right, same answer.

Next, how much work didn't get done in the 90's due to the witch hunts of Newt and Co. and the prodding and poking of Ken-boy Starr?

Lastly, Personality and blame? Editorialize much? This is a serious friggin' issue and to not examine it will only further lesson US stature in the eyes of an already very pissed off world.

thank you, I am done with my rant for this morning.

3. For awhile, though, the Note was worth reading
it lost it shortly after the 2002 elections. I glance at it on occassion, but mostly delete it unread.

I don't want the news shows, except Sunday

2. When have Zip and Pip worked on solving any problems?
Their main focus has been looting the treasury and trying to get this drunk back in office.

And it's especially digusting to hear them piss and moan about anybody else's "focus on personality and blame"...considering the daily torrent of character assassination and buck-passing from the Pirates of Halliburton .

4. They are just pissed because they invented the blame game and
now it is being used against them.

I half expect to see ED weasel Gillespie on television trying to copyright the blame game so that when democrats point the finger at republicans, they have to pay to do it.
