IF THE MEDIA REPORTED ON DEMOCRATS THE WAY THEY REPORT ON REPUBLICANS

It was a great week for the Democrats!

Snip...

More prison abuse reports under an administration that continues to abuse the Geneva Conventions.

Presidential Spokesperson, Tony Snow, called the 2500 American soldiers who have been killed in Iraq, "a number."

Ann Coulter.

But the Democrats' scored their biggest advantage this week when most of them did not get behind a Republican resolution to support the Bush policy that has resulted in the deaths of 2500 American soldiers as well as the over 100,000 Iraqis who never asked for the policy in the first place.

Snip...

This was also a week where Republicans re-energized the obvious Karl Rove-supplied talking point, "cut and run," to describe John Murtha and John Kerry. It's still hard to gauge how difficult it will be to defend the fact that both men volunteered for war time duty while so many Republicans led by the likes of Rove, Vice President Dick Cheney and just about every radio talk show host, "cut and ran" when they had a chance to serve in the Armed Forces during wartime, yet seem to have no problem sending someone else's children into harm's way. Add to that the fact that neither Murtha or Kerry actually advocates either "cutting" or "running," but rather a careful watch from the borders of someopne else's civil war, should also give Democrats another arrow in the quiver as Republicans will surely be facing tough questioning on the Sunday morning talk shows concerning their continued shams and misleading phraseology.

Snip...

It will be difficult for President Bush and his Congress to bounce back from a week that Democrats may ride all the way to the fall election.

Oh, and I almost forgot. Ann Coulter.

Back to you, Brit.
