Tell A Friend

Or, perhaps, they are sympathetic to impeachment, but that's private and they feel that "FOLLOW THE GROUPTHINK" is the First Commandment of journalism (or at least, the way to keep their jobs).

In fact, let's rename them from big boys to groupthink boys.

So. Kucinich at the microphone was news of Monday night, June 9. Now, it is nearly dawn of June 10.

What kind of a day will the groupthink boys have? Their groupthink is already laughable for being out of touch. To be a talking head on national TV, it seems that you must sign a release saying, "Black is white; and night is day." The TV news networks are happy to report news from the Planet Russert, or the Planet Gergen. David Gergen will smile and tell you that inflation is under control, or there is no real inflation to speak of. John McCain will smile and tell you that the economy is sound in its fundamentals.

The only thing missing in their political coverage is news from the Planet Earth. So, we Earthlings can basically sigh and endure while CNN et al report "Another Day In La-La Land."

On the other hand, it could be a big day for Dennis Kucinich, Robert Wexler, and others who have called for impeachment including George McGovern and myself. But, to slate time for this story is something that the groupthink boys will do grudgingly and late, if ever. The groupthink boys are lagging indicators.
