What Exactly IS Bill Schneider?
I'm watching Bill Schneider ("Senior Political Analyst") on CNN being the living, breathing embarassment he's paid to be, talking about "Star Power" on the campaign trail. Of course he's raising serious wood over Herr Gropinator stumping for Bush (and could care less about Springsteen on the stump for Kerry), his rationale being "People just aren't interested in politics but when they see a movie star up there, a sports hero..."*
Sports Hero? Since when was posing with oiled skin a sport (much less "heroic")?
Since when was Bill Schneider qualified to be "Senior Political Analyst"? Oh, because of his association with the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank?
Since when was it determined that "America trusts CNN"? Since they became the secondary mouthpiece for the right?
