[MEG33]

Thank you ,Miss Marple,my 20 words a minute don't do so well!

[mystery-ak]

You've got that right...any gaffe the President would have made would have been all over the media by now.

Eastern time zone posters, please keep us informed.

[MEG33]

I love your post.I don't get NBC first..even have a lull.I will be anxious!

[chiller]

I'll help out, too. Stretching now, warming up, with knee bends, and punching bag. I think the gloves will be forecefully but politely dropped this morning.

[Carolinamom]

Thanks for the ping. I was supposed to ping YOU! I'm depending on folks here to give me the preview!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Our local stations air these shows when most other Comcast cable outlets do. Check local listings for exact times.

Good morning, Miss Marple! Thrilled to see you.

Your insights and opinions are treasures.

I'm so excited, I have to read this thread while I wait for 7:30 Pacific to roll around.

"No."
"Is it on yet?"
"No!"
"Is it on yet?"
"No!!"
"Is it on yet?"
"YAAGH!!"

[onyx]

I'm so excited I awoke (on my own, no alarm) an hour ago!

[Alas Babylon!]

Understand. I used to post the times, but some people here would get mad at me when their local affiliate didn't show it when I said it would be on!

[Alas Babylon!]

You are up way to early! And I thought I was bad about that, LoL! Have you slept yet, or are you an early riser?

[chiller]

Today show preview;

MTP; 'Are 500+ deaths and 3000 injuries worth Saddam if he didn't have WMD.'

GWB paraphrase; 'Every life is precious...I've told the families that...Saddam is dangerous...David Kay said we've found Iraq is more dangerous than we thought.'

Handled thoughtfully by GWB. Deliberate, reflective, but serious about the threat, imho.

[RandallFlagg]

40-Minute countdown -for some.

[Carolinamom]

I thought I'd wait until the thread went up to ping you, but while I was getting coffee, YOU rang! Yesireeeeeeeeeee, I am waiting for President Bush to wipe the partisan grin off PotatoHead's face.

[onyx]

Yes, I slept, and NO, I am anything but an early riser!

Thanks for the work you do every Sunday. I'm not "always" here, and now you know why. :)

[onyx]

I rang? Oh, you have the pager on. That thing drives me nuts.

PotatoHead's face? LOL!! First time I've heard Russert described that way, but it fits, both in name and in appearance.

[MEG33]

LOL!..exactly

[dwilli]

I just saw a clip where Russert asked GWB if the over 500
deaths were justified by the removal of Saddam and the answer was pretty much a none answer but artfully dodged.

I don't know how any president could answer that question but GWB seemed to dance around.

[lainde]

How did Britain get the interview before us?

[lainde]

Duuuh! Forget the Britain question...My brain has gone to mush...Time zones etc. I've been up all night and am trying to stay awake for the POTUS.
