Can someone tell me WHY this statement is so news worthy?

Because the news is so full of election crap and so many Republicans are in hot water for so many things this is an opportunity to jump all over his shiet.

Never mind that he isn't actually running for anything.

And, it takes the heat off of them. Notice that? Gives them someone else to talk about while the others are swept away.

I don't get it either how people are so supportive of bashing him. Where are these people when Bush says some fvcking stupid insulting things? Just laugh nervously and change the subject? Because he is the president? I think he needs to be held to a higher standard.

And he called in to Rush Limbaughs' show? OMF'ng gawd. That is embarrasing. Our president called Rushs show.

I need a paper bag. Not sure if I am going to barf into it or wear it on my head in shame.

You may be smart NA, but our soldiers are Mensa, baby!

Yeah- how embarrassing- the POTUS calling the highest rated talk show in the country.

What a shocker.

It's just like going on any kind of interview- and reaches out to his base.

Seems like a good idea to me.

Well, that's a stretch! First, the statement was misinterpreted. Find something a bit more factual if you want to be effective with the argument. Second, I doubt Kerry speaks for all Dems.

The outrage still doesn't make sense.

Not really. Not to me. Rushs' show is low. I am sure it is amusing to some but is he someone I want representing my country as an interviewer? I think not.

I'd like my country represented by the Peter Jennings, Walter Cronkites, Barbara Walters types. Class. Not circus.

It may be the highest rated but so was Springer. And I wouldn't let my kids watch that, either.

Yes, it is a stretch- but right now- with the election on the line- everything is going to be fair game.

Every word- action and misdeed- anything that could sway one vote the other way.

Low? Compared to Springer?

Ok- there will be no agreement.

Never mind. :rolleyes:

I had no idea the Republicans were that desparate. Grasping at straws is the appropriate phrase here.


Oh, and next time someone calls out the "liberal media" I will point to how much publicity Kerry has gotten over virtually nothing. Liberal? I think not.

In that Springer was tops in the ratings as you say Rush is.

You must have missed that........

Not that we need to agree.
