1. Stephanopoulos Hits Bush on 'Surrender,' Questioning Patriotism
In an interview with President George W. Bush conducted in North Carolina and excerpted on Wednesday's World News on ABC, George Stephanopoulos quoted to Bush how he once declared that the upcoming election is "a choice between Republicans and Democrats who want to wave the white flag of surrender in the war on terror." Stephanopoulos then demanded: "Can you name a Democrat who wants to 'wave the white flag of surrender'?" Referring to Senator John Kerry, Bush replied: "I can name a Democrat who said there ought to be a date certain from which to withdraw from Iraq, whether or not we've achieved a victory or not-" An astounded Stephanopoulos asked: "That's surrender?" Bush countered: "Yeah it is, if you pull the troops out before the job is done." To which Stephanopoulos suggested a nefarious motive: "So you don't think that's questioning their patriotism when you say that?" Bush rejected the notion: "No, I know it's not questioning their patriotism. I think it's questioning their judgment."
2. Olbermann Suggests 'Lying' Bush as Much a 'Threat' as Terrorists
On Wednesday's Countdown, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann delivered the latest in a recent series of "Special Comment" attacks on President Bush, inspired by the recently passed Military Commissions Act, as he suggested Bush was as big a "threat" to America as the "terrorists." The Countdown host not only referred to the government "becoming just a little bit like the terrorists," but he also labeled some of Bush's "invocations" as "terroristic" and compared the wish of a 9/11 planner to end America to what President Bush himself "has wrought." Olbermann: "One of the terrorists believed to have planned the 9/11 attacks, you told us yesterday, said he hoped the attacks would be the beginning of the end of America. That terrorist, sir, could only hope. Not his actions nor the actions of a ceaseless line of terrorists, real or imagined, could measure up to what you have wrought...These things you have done, Mr. Bush, they would constitute the beginning of the end of America." Olbermann also charged that Bush has "imposed subjugation and called it freedom," accused Bush several times of telling "lies," and proclaimed, addressing Bush, that "the threat this generation of Americans needed to take seriously was you."
3. Today Trumpets Poll Predicting 'Perfect Storm' to Wash Out GOP
Meredith Vieira, Matt Lauer and Tim Russert were so excited to announce the "perfect storm" of negative poll numbers for the GOP that they couldn't wait to report it. On Thursday's Today show viewers were greeted with these first words out of Vieira's mouth: "Good morning, poll plunge. A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that huge numbers of Americans are losing faith over the war in Iraq and the news isn't any better for Republicans in Congress." (Wednesday's NBC Nightly News also led with the new poll numbers.)
4. CNN's Cafferty: Will Karl Rove Engineer an 'October Surprise?'
On Wednesday's The Situation Room, CNN's Jack Cafferty wondered about the possibility of an October surprise to save the Republicans in the midterm elections. He asserted that "many people think Karl Rove would be the architect" behind such an event. Cafferty, who made the comments during the 5:15pm EDT segment of his 'The Cafferty File,' speculated that such a surprise could include finding Osama bin Laden. The CNN host then noted ominously: "It just so happens, Rove told the Washington Times he's confident the Republicans will keep control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. He says, 'the Foley matter,' his words, will have impact in some limited districts, but not overall. Perhaps Mr. Rove knows something we don't."
5. On Leftist Radio Show, Cafferty Echoes Ohio-Obsessed Olbermann
CNN's crusty Situation Room commentator Jack Cafferty appeared (again) on the leftist, Bush-bashing Stephanie Miller radio show Wednesday morning, promoting his Thursday night CNN special on Broken Government. While he began by trying to be nonpartisan, and mentioning the Harry Reid financial non-disclosure, that Democrats are just a "different breed of weasel," he did end up sounding rather liberal in spots. Miller argued that votes aren't being counted because of President Clinton's mantra "when people vote, Democrats win." Cafferty replied that if people don't feel their votes are counted, then "this democracy's gone. We're trying to bring democracy to Iraq. Hell, we couldn't even bring it to Ohio." He sounds like Keith Olbermann, obsessing about Bush winning by "only" 120,000 votes in 2004.
