As one person commented on another site : Let the American people see exactly how all these 'hard-hitting interviewers' are busy bashing Bush rather than really getting to the issues. Let them see how Matthews and Kerry are throwing one-liners at each other like a couple of frat boys with nothing better to do. Because the more they see this, the better it is for Bush.

Chris Matthews probably believes that John F. Kerry is "really Irish".

Well, Chrissie probably titillated the entire dozen or so poor souls watching Dumbocrapic Softball.

Tit for tat, indeed!

No further comment lest I get in trouble.

I clicked this story, fully expecting to see pics of cheerleaders. Obviously, I was left dismayed...

Let the coverage be of the "attacks" on Kerry and let him keep defending himself. He sounds whiny and defensive. Most important, he's not giving the voters any reason to vote for him, he's not getting a message out. So what if Bush has spent 70 million in ads attacking Kerry's record - that's no reason to vote for Kerry. Kerry doesn't get that because he thinks it's all about him, and not about the country and the voters.

On any given night there are maybe, 250,000 viewers of Hardboiled. I believe the majority of those are conservatives like Freepers. Most of the lefties are in bars somewhere, or have the set tuned to the McLaughlin group.

I believe Hardboiled exists primarily to trip up pols so that there is a 10 second clip for the next days lamestream news.

KERRY: ...So the fact is that, as you peeled away, I think it comes down to this larger ideological, neo-con concept of fundamental change in the region and who knows whether there are other motives with respect to Saddam Hussein.

But they did it because they thought they could. Because they misjudged exactly what the reaction would be and what they could get away with.

And they did it, that misjudgment, against the warnings of countless numbers of people, including General Shinseki, who they then isolated and tarnished. They did it against the warnings of Brent Scowcroft, Jim Baker, others.

They did it against the warnings of his father in his book about why they didn‘t go in. And they did it against the warnings of many of us who said winning the war is not the complicated part. It‘s winning the peace that‘s complicated.

And I think presidents need to be held accountable for those kinds of decisions.

Joseph Wilson's argumentation arises in the mouth of Kerry.
