1. wow. did you know Andrea Mitchell was at a Clinton fundraiser as a donor?

Seems like NBC is being very obvious. and this may explain some of why Edwards has been getting frozen out of air time.

2. These populist Democrats simply cannot be tolerated

by Big Business and Large Corporations, huh?

Looks like Jim killed two bidrs with one stone
made a tidy sum for himself nad did a hit
job for GE in the process.

3. I love Media Matters, but nowhere do they say he was paid FOR ATTACKING

Edwards. He was paid for making a speech � and unless it can be proven they asked him to specifically address Edwards, the charge in the title is unfounded.

7. They didn't have too, much like

a "journalist" is hired to work for a Murdoch paper. Chamber of Commerce is Republican.

Have a nice day :hi:
