Hey, This is fun!
Glad we have a blog for us Kendall County Dems! As my first post I would like to reprint an excerpt from a column in the printed Kendallian, titled Why You Should Get Cable:
"A recent Daily Show episode showed a town meeting that President Bush held in Maryland. The subject was Social Security reform, and strangely every one of the people in the town meeting supported Bush's plan. Perhaps it wasn't so strange, given that the screening folks who kept the riff-raff away from Bush campaign rallies also screened this alleged town meeting. Several clips were shown, and of course the President, operating in a crowd of Bush loving devotees, had that cocksure Chimpy McFlightsuit demeanor that rubs so many of us the wrong way..."
But alas, where is the So-Called Liberal Media (SCLM) that we hear so much about? You'd think that the president calling something a town meeting that in fact was a pre-arranged pep rally would at least warrant some questions at the president's next press conference (he has them...I remember a few...). The SCLM was missing in action though, as they oft are these days. And now when it's been revealed that a right-wing non-journalist somehow landed a place on the White House Press Corps, that too isn't worth much more than a mention by the legitimate press. Begs the question: don't they have to EARN the title of legitimate press?
Hey folks--this is going to be fun. A Kendall County Democratic blog! Let's get some information out, and have some fun in the process. We have a consensus to build here, and this is yet another tool in getting it done.
