Good point, but thankfully CNN is not the most watched cable network.

Yes, but they claim they have BETTER viewers.

[moehoward]

Anyone know where that thread regarding Alito and the imminent domain case in Colorado is?? It was posted here a few months back.

[easonc52]

I think most of the people watching CNN realize what they are and that's why they're watching it. They wouldn't agree with Grassley anyway.

Good point...

[firewalk]

Thanks for the ping

[Flavius Josephus]

We need to have some way that we the people are not helpless before the malfeasance of representatives of other districts and states. The "old boys club" has got to end.

[conservativebabe]

LOL. Good point.

[beyond the sea]

BITTER viewers?

[easonc52]

Good point, but thankfully CNN is not the most watched cable network.

FOX carries the entire questioning by both parties and when the chair calls a break, then they go to their Hume, Wallace, Kendall crew.

I noticed that and appreciate it.

Who's got that annoying cough?

[Halls]

Alito is kicking but! He is great!

[conservativebabe]

I don't know. Geez, get a cough drop or something.

[Chuck54]

....than Kendall (who is not bad)?

Kendall is an attorney, but Britt is a bit smarter, or at least, fair and balanced about these hearings.

Megyn Kendall leans a bit to the left, but is one of the reasons why the network is called the FOX network.

:-)

[Flavius Josephus]

Kendall is not bad at all... :)

Brit Hume is one of the best newsmen I have ever seen. I'm glad Fox is giving him such a high-profile venue to practice. I suspect that everything that is truly fair and balanced (and not touchy feely, liberal, and fuzzy) has his clear stamp on it.

[bunches]

ugh Super Precident. I'm waiting for SUPER DOUBLE SECRET Precident"

LOL. Also don't forget:

"Super-cali-fragilistic-ex-piali-docious.

"If you say it fast enough, it's really quite atrocious."


Somehow Mary Poppins comes to mind. Senators, where are the umbrellas and why isn't anyone flying away out of the Capitol dome.

Oh, please, it would be fun, Democrats, really!!!

[Jrabbit]

It's annoying....anybody got a cough drop?

[Sweetjustusnow]

I'm listening to this by radio. When Alito was responding to "not filling vaccumes in the law", all I hear is background coughing and stomping and I'm assuming the Dem's are doing it. Is anyone watching observing this?

[conservativebabe]

Gotta get my son from preschool bookmark.

See ya all in a bit.

Hope someone will fill me in. I'm sure I'll be a couple hundred posts behind by then.

[Bahbah]

one of the reasons why the network is called the FOX network.

LOL. I never thought of that ;)

[NeoCaveman]

Have you noticed that Brit Hume seems to have a better grasp of the legal issues and is better at expressing them than Kendall (who is not bad)?

Brit is brilliant.

Kendall is a fox.

[Sweetjustusnow]

It is annoying, childish and disrespectful. These people are disgusting.
