I rarely watch the weekend morning show..had it on long enough to see I needed to turn it off.
What's that show on Fox where the Boss switches place and does the work of the employee?
Maybe these Senators should switch places with the Guards at Gitmo for a day or two ... and then maybe I'll be willing to listen to what they have to say
This time they have pictures and they think with 37 investigations going on they are going to put it on the Adminstration....Brit said the scandal should be running on fumes by now..but it isn't.
The Senators need face time?..Grrrr
Skip Matthews--unless your tube has a spit shield. If you do watch Matthews, go to your local St. Vinnies or Goodwill and stock up on small stuffed toys to throw at the screen.
The dums are engaged in one long Wellstone Memorial. They will get the same results!
Many or most Senators haven't done a good days work in 1) years and years or 2) their whole life.
I wouldn't expect them to start now, although I like your suggestion.

To me, Tim had a lot of nerve chiding the SOS/his staff and came across like a whiny, arrogant putz. Implying they were trying to cut off the interview was highly presumptuous of him. He wouldn't have said that about ain'tsobright. Nothing new under the sun.
Juan was suspended from the Washington comPost after sexual harrassment charges were made against him.......this during the slick willie monica debacle.
Powell is and always has been able to handle the press. Why his staffer thought he shouldn't answer the question by using this ruse doesn't know his or her boss very well.
I don't either ... which is way they need to watch their words when saying how terrible our military is to terrorists
Tim was doing more than whining, he was implying that Powell's aide knew what the question was going to be and that the aide did not want Powell to answer it. I think Tim wanted to puff himself up, as in, "My question was sooooo important, Powell's staff feared it".
Sunday morning self-serving bullhockeydoodoo!
Powell was half way across the world, after all, most likely it was just an insignificant snafu.
One does find it interesting, that many Democrats and the press can only find an out of touch Republican as a potential VP. There must not be ANY Democrats who are considered smart enough or good enough to run. Which goes to show, the worst Republican is better than the best Democrat.
That grinning clown Geraldo Rivera brought up the inconsistencies on his program last night, but he seemed to be looking for an "It's somehow Bush's fault" connection.
Could the problem that Powell had be a technical one?
If you don't get invited, you can't be on. The media deliberately does this.
Remember Bush and the National Guard which just wouldn't go away? It did go away.
Thanks for the infusion of positive thoughts. I needed that.
What struck me more than anything Powell said was Russert's "This is inappropriate" comment when his question was interrupted. Poor Tim. I guess Powell will NEVER be asked back, now...
