Republican Spin Points Permeate Sunday Talk Shows

[Stevendsmith]

Miss the Sunday talk shows yesterday? Allow me to summarize the prevailing message of our objective media professionals:

Despite his inconsistency, pessimism, anger, and woeful lack of experience in foreign policy, it looks like Howard Dean and his internet following of irrational Bush haters just might give the enormously popular President a run for his money. But when all is said and done, the heroic Bush will prevail.

These RNC talking points were all over the Sunday talk shows yesterday, but, as usual, Russert was the worst offender. He never speaks of Dean without a condescending smirk on his face.

Get ready for a year of shameless GOP spin.

1. Russert is a jerk

I notice he only "hardballs" non-Conservatives.

2. Spin didn't work for the rethugs in 1992 either

June 1992
Ominous Polls:
A look at the Gallup polls over the past few moths show why Democrats are becoming increasingly nervous about putting Clinton at the head of their ticket.
In a head-to-head match up on March 20, Bush led by only 52-43 percent and Clinton was indeed within striking range. But as the weekly disclosures took their toll during the ensuing primaries, Clinton's margin fell to 54-38 percent on March 29 and then fell further to 54-34 by the beginning of April.

3. The only exception was 'This Week'

with Steph and George Will. They actually seemed to be defending Dean against Lieberman, who lately seems to have co-opted the RNC's message.
