[Sosfbay-discuss] Bailout Not Dead

[Andrea Dorey]

I heard some pretty severe trashing of Kucinich, Sanders, Krugman,  
and some of the black caucus who voted no, by a Sunday host on KPFA  
(!!), and again by Dennis Miller in his show in Las Vegas;  the  
latter added Dean, Packwood, and other so-called liberal-leaning  
politicians against the Iraq war, with a searing comedy commentary  
that Karl Rove would admire.

The media blitz is really getting intense.  Both the Daily Show and  
the Colbert Report are revealing some of the blistering attacks by  
McCain, but focusing mostly on "pit-bull Palin" who has escalated her  
rhetoric to the point that she's attracting negative feedback.   
Perhaps the two RP candidates are playing a political form of good  
cop, bad cop?
