CNN sounding more and more like FOX NEWS. Zahn to Biden: "Your party is getting creamed as the party of cut-and-runners, the wobbly, the weak" Summary: CNN's Paula Zahn told Sen. Joe Biden that the Democratic Party is "getting creamed as the party of cut-and-runners, the wobbly, the weak, adding: "[D]o you understand why that divisiveness compromises the credibility of your party?" During an interview with Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-DE) on the June 20 edition of CNN's Paula Zahn Now, Zahn claimed that the Democratic Party is "getting creamed as the party of cut-and-runners, the wobbly, the weak." Noting that Senate Democrats have offered different proposals for withdrawing troops from Iraq, Zahn then asked Biden: "[D]o you understand why that divisiveness compromises the credibility of your party?" As Media Matters for America has noted, Zahn has previously stated that there are many people who are "out there saying ... if you vote for a Democrat, that basically you want to be bombed." Zahn offered no support for her assertion that the Democrats are "getting creamed" as a result of the debate within the party, or that their "credibility" is compromised. As Media Matters has noted, in fact, the backers of the two Democratic proposals are united in their belief that the U.S. should withdraw from Iraq, and their belief is shared by a majority of Americans. From the June 20 edition of CNN's Paula Zahn Now: ZAHN: Your party is getting creamed as the party of cut-and- runners, the wobbly, the weak. Some Democrats want the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. Some think they should be out a year from now. And some think setting a timetable, period, is irresponsible. So, do you understand why that divisiveness compromises the credibility of your party? BIDEN: Well, I don't think it does compromise the credibility. I understand the divisiveness, because they look at a united Republican Party in a failed policy.

warwoundfakerkerryliar and demohacks lost again: Senate Votes Against Iraq Deadline By DAVID STOUT Published: June 22, 2006 WASHINGTON, June 22 — The Senate voted overwhelmingly today, after a long and emotional debate, against setting a firm deadline for withdrawing American troops from Iraq. The 87-to-13 vote reflected not only deep divisions between Republicans and Democrats but within the Democratic ranks as well. Many Democrats voted against the measure, ensuring its defeat by a lopsided margin. Immediately after rejecting the measure offered by Senators John Kerry of Massachusetts and Russell D. Feingold of Wisconsin, both Democrats, that would have set a July 2007 withdrawal date, the lawmakers turned to a second, more generally worded measure also intended to scale down the American commitment in Iraq. A vote on that measure was expected shortly. The vote on the Kerry-Feingold measure, an amendment to a military-spending bill, was preceded by hours of debate that blended high emotion and the courtly courtesy that is a Senate tradition. To set a withdrawal date would tell American troops and the Iraqi people "we're going to possibly pull the rug out from under you," said Senator John W. Warner, the Virginia Republican who heads the Senate Armed Services Committee. "It would be impossible to imagine a worse time than now" to set a timetable for withdrawal, said Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the Republican majority leader.
