Oh, man! Ya know, Janice Dean gets better every day.

I see Howard Fineman hasn't made any New Year Resolution to be a balanced reporter. Took about 2 minutes to attack Sen. Frist for not having enough political experience to be a major player in the senate.

No comment about Hitlary Clintons non-existant political career before becoming senator from New York.

Looks like the New Year is going to be the same as the Old Year.

I did enjoy Walter Williams (in for Rush) earlier in the week.

I also enjoyed listening to Walter Williams, particularly when Dr. Williams had Thomas Sowell (sp?) on.

I kinda took his analysis of Frist as a comparison to previous party leaders in the Senate. I believe that most everyone is amazed at his rise to power with so little political experience. Fineman was making fun of Edwards "regular" man reference.

[McGruff]

Notice that Fineman didn't even know what Newsweak's lead story was this week. Pretty bad when a "reporter" doesn't even know what's in his own magazine. I believe the caught Jonathon Alter in the same trap before. Idiots!

I saw that. The stuff the I Man gets away with is beyond me. I had a First Sergeant in Germany many years ago who I heard liked to go to the NCO club and pick fights just to get beat up. My platoon sergeant told me he was a masochist. It was the first time I ever heard the word.
