3. Why? I thought that what she said was quite good.

Maybe I misunderstood something, so would you please share with me what you found offensive in reference to what she said?

Thanks!

4. she claimed americans are not interested in Iraq

or how we got there. I believe the pretzelnut's approval ratings and calls for impeachment dispute that.

5. I think that they're now not happy that we're there, but they really don't want...

to hear details about it. The attention span of the average American is very short, in my opinion. When they start hearing details, their eyes glaze over. I agree with what she said.

In reference to calls for impeachment, I've never once heard an American who is not very interested in politics express an interest in impeachment for either Bush or Cheney, much to my dismay. It's very sad. (I understand that things might be different where you live, but this is the reality of my area of the country.)

6. I disagree on Iraq

the media have essentially taken Iraq off the front page and out of the news. People therefore are not "interested in Iraq". Convenient eh? Self fulfilling prophesy I would say. I have about zero respect for her reporting abilities. She is part of the media problem

Impeachment? I know a lot of folks who know next nothing that I do in regard to high crimes that ask, why the fuck are the democrats not impeaching their asses because of the Iraq Lies alone. Mast are democrats with one even a republican. I live in the south too!

7. I wish that I were seeing more of that here. What you're saying gives me hope...

though.

2. Belzer talks like he has a better grasp of being a journalist

than any of those bimbos and narcissists that we call journalists on the MSM "news."
