So he made his own 39th Parallel off of that. Bush finally connected the dots yesterday and realized that Gustav hit the Gulf coast and that oil platforms are offshore in the Gulf.

What does Dubya have against the Gulf of Mexico, anyway?

When Bush uses such a lame excuse for more off-shore drilling the conservative commentators are expected to sit up, repeat the "arguments" with a straight face, and act like they make sense. In the old days they could do this, but with things falling apart for the Republicans and with most people (and viewers) no longer believing such nonsense, the "news" people like Joe are starting to wonder if they will have a job in the near future. If Obama wins the Corporate Media will shift to a more liberal news format (they don't care about politics, just about selling stuff). People will remember Joe as that idiot that kept spouting absolutely insane talking points and Joe may not have a job. So, rather than keep presenting such insane arguments by Bush Joe is trying to reposition himself so he can survive on television next year. I suspect you will be seeing a lot of MSM people doing the same, with the exception of FOX. (The FOX people have their own universe and rely on the 20-28% of the population that still support Bush - the crazy minority we will always have.) Do we trust Joe to change? Has his past history of reading the Bush talking points tainted his future in journalism? Joe’s problem is that he is continually asked to parrot the Republican’s talking points on the air.
