That seals it. Bush screwed up and has assured his loss in November. His press conference tonight has caused the 24-hour delay of American Idol.

"9/11 Commission? What 9/11 Commission? Patriot Act? What Patriot Act? What? No American Idol tonight!?! Ahhhh! Never Forget! Never Forgive!"

There's a sad truth hiding in my humor
 
All of those unsuspecting "citizens" will tune in for American Idol and get a dose of a new type of "reality show." Or will they just find a "Friends" re-run? Hey, at least they vote on American Idol :rolleyes:
 
I'd rather watch a speech by Bush than American Idol any day. As long as he doesn't interrupt the Simpsons.

In all seriousness I really doubt this would make much of a difference in an election. I would hazard a guess that a lot of people who watch programming like American Idol don't vote anyways. As for the ones that do, I would guess they fall on the Republican side about as much as the Democrat. Besides how many of these people will remember that Bush interrupted their favorite show several months from now.

Dude! This isn't someting trivial and forgetable like national security or civil liberties. This is their show!!!
 
Well 24 is being pushed to Sunday. Glancing at the TV listings:
- Fraiser will be airing "Guns 'N Neuroses": Lilith's (Bebe Neuwirth) friend sets her up on a blind date with Frasier; Niles and Daphne urge Martin to get rid of his gun.
- According to Jim will be airing "Paintball": Cheryl convinces Jim to attend a cooking class, then reluctantly agrees to play paintball with him.

A while back I saw a Fraiser episode that was semi-pro gun... some guys taught Niles to shoot and showed him how it was fun recreation. Then it turned out they were "militia" (implied extremists). That said, the father on the show, Martin, is an ex-cop and they tend to treat him with respect (he's the one that brought Niles shooting in the first place) so it might be interesting to see if we wins out on this side of the debate.
 
You mean John "50 cal" Kerry. Apparently he has trouble targeting anything...especially the truth.

KERRY: There are all kinds of atrocities. And I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed, in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones; I conducted harassment and interdiction fire; I used 50-caliber machine guns which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people; I took place in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages.

All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare. All of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions. And all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down.

And I believe that the men who designed these, the men who designed the free fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant Calley, are war criminals.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

RUSSERT: Thirty years later, do you stand by that?

KERRY: I don't stand by the genocide. I think those were the words of an angry young man. We did not try to do that. But I do stand by the description--I don't even believe there was a purpose served in the word "war criminal.'' I really don't.

Let's just have them slug it out in a no holds barred PPV charity kickboxing tournament ... Kerry has reach but Bush works out a lot, I don't know who would win.

I'd pay to see that
 
Be sure to have some barf bags handy

There will be an "equal time" statement from the Democrats, hopefully not delivered by Tom Dashle.
 
I only get one channel-an NBC affiliate-so I've never seen "American Idol"
Don't watch CBS,ABC,CNN,MSNBC,etc., et yada either.

That's why I'm so clear-thinking.......:D
 
I didn't like Jimmy Carter because all of "my shows" that he interrupted"! (But I was only 6 during the 1980 election)


I voted for John Anderson in my 1st grade class mock election. I'm a third party voter from waaay back. :D
 
I remember when Clinton interrupted whatever i was watching so that he could lie to the American public in the most efficient way possible with his little "i did not have sexual realtions..." BS. That really pissed me off. This spells DOOM for Bush. More people watch that show than VOTED in the last election.

fnord
 
Let me make this clear. I'm not a very big fan of Bush, nor the war, but that press conference was like a bunch of sharks smelling blood.

I mean, how do you answer a question like:

"Do you feel guilty about your failure regarding 9/11?"

"Name your biggest mistake after 9/11?"

"People have called this your Vietnam. Public support for the war is failing."

Sort of like asking a politician whether they support "evil assault weapons on our streets." The question itself is skewed, so there's no way to satisfactorily answer it.

Bunch of loaded questions IMO.:barf:
