The Morning Show Thread - 25Nov (Fox, Imus, C-SPAN, NBCABCCBSCNN, etc.)

all of the above

[leadpenny]

The Imus fans huddled last week. Well, a few of them did, and we decided that The Daily Imus thread should be expanded to include all of the network morning shows. Thanks to McGruff for the suggestion. Please jump in with your favorites.

Morning all.

[leadpenny]

Chief Weapons Inspector, David Kay, will be on C-SPAN's Washington Journal at 7:45 (all times eastern)

[freedom1st]

George Will or Howard Fineman on @ 7:27. I hope its George Will.

[leadpenny]

Imus is at the ranch. Doesn't look like he is on oxygen - yet.

[leadpenny]

Wasn't Fineman a no-show last week?

[freedom1st]

Don't know. Probably over at CNN kissing the Forehead's anse.

[leadpenny]

Looks like it will be Fineman. At least it was his pic at the break.

Imus said the President can bench press 205 lbs. Then he wondered out loud how much Monica might have weighed. I missed the "face" comment from Bernard.

[YaYa123]

I hope Fineman gives kudos to President Bush on his trip.

[leadpenny]

I think Fineman enjoys going on the Imus program. He isn't constantly being interrupted by Matthews.

Imus has been talking about Bob Woodward's book this morning. I'm sure he will be asking all of his guests this week about it in one way or the other.

FYI, Bob Woodward will be on C-SPAN2 Live for three hours on 1 Dec.

In Depth: Bob Woodward Call In.

[leadpenny]

Rush Limbaugh is going to be discussed on Imus. I wonder if it is about some of the things said on the Russert interview?

[YaYa123]

Senator Shelby is making the network rounds this morning because of his MTP comments yesterday, predicting another terrorist attack in the US.

"former weapons inspectors" are big this morning too, on all the channels.

ABC says NBC is reporting that Saudi money is still flowing to terrorists around the world.

ADEL al-JUBEIR, Saudi Foreign Policy Advisor = Soft spoken, baby faced liar...reminds me of Tom Daschle

[leadpenny]

I made a quick scan through the majors for old times sake and just couldn't take it.

In case you missed it, the Wilfred Brimley (Larry Kenney) Oatmeal and Explosive Stuffing Mix for this Year's Thanksgiving Turkey is coming up again. Talented stuff. Also, Howard Fineman should be interesting this AM.

[leadpenny]

Re: Woodward's book. Fineman says that he who cooperates with Woodward the most comes out looking the best.

Imus says he doesn't see how anyone can read the book and not come away without liking the President.

[YaYa123]

IMUS said Hillary has declared she won't support Gore in the primaries. Did I hear that correctly?

When IMUS said that, Fineman said, "well, what does that tell you?", intimating, Gore doesn't stand a chance of winning the nomination. Fineman also said he hadn't read Gore's book. I think Gore will decide not to run, the conventional wisdom will be, because booksales were so disappointing.

I think Gore will decide not to run, the conventional wisdom will be, because booksales were so disappointing.

Oof. And to think that an Amazon sales rank of 63,683 for Earth in the Balance was good enough to run in 2000. Of course Dick Morris in Power Plays would tell you that Gore lost because he ran away from his famous position (internal combustion engine = enemy of mankind).

Keep talking, buddy. Muhaha.

[leadpenny]

Welcome to FR. Earlier, during Sports by Sid, Imus said the fans had turned Columbus into Detroit. Bernard said, "More like Lagos, Nigeria."

[McGruff]

Good morning, I'm just getting online.

Heard IMUS say he started reading Bob Woodward's book and is impressed about how much access the Whitehouse gave him (even though he's a demoRAT spy).

Everyone except Drudge has good things to say about this book.

[leadpenny]

. . Hillary has declared she won't support Gore in the primaries. Did I hear that correctly?

I think there was a thread running on just that subject the other day.
