Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to watch this when it comes on here in a hour.
Chris wallace nailed Levin to the wall on the prisoner scam. To paraphrase: As ranking member of the Armed Services committee, Senator what did you do about the prisone abuse reports. Levin basically took the Sergeant Scultz defense. Was he on the list of rat politicians that were informed of the prisoner problem by the whistleblower.
I think Chris Wallace did a good job of trying to keep this snake (Levin) from spinning. Unfortunately, Levin is a pro.
It's also great to see that Brit is back from vacation.
I believe he was on the list.
Exchange between McCain and Russert about six weeks from now...
Russert: Sen. McCain, you've stated many times on this program that you wouldn't accept a position in a Kerry cabinet...
McCain: Well Tim, I decided to accept the position AFTER I decided not to accept it...
Russert: Well Senator, Sen. Kerry has certainly been training you well...
McCain: Yes Tim, yes he has... were you aware we were both in Vietnam??
Levin didn't have an answer and will probably reprimand Fox News Sunday for asking a question that wasn't on his prepared list.
I'm not sure, but I know that a WHOLE lot of documentation is in US hands since the day of the fall of Baghdad. I know that translators are working on it at this moment.
I suspect that it will be out this summer. And I look forward to it.
Well, we know the Iraqis loved to keep notes and their shredders were being used for other things.
Gloom and doom about Bush's numbers. on Fox roundtable...This time it seems "It's the War Stupid!" Don't criticize the war ,Kerry, is the plea of the dems...Brit says this story of prison abuse ought to be running on fumes...
Of course Juan wants Kerry to ask why the President isn't reponsible for Pentagon mistakes.
Cici Mute.
Any backlash from Cece's Stepford Wives comment last Sunday?
Maybe when Wallace reads the mail they'll at least read one letter about it.
You know they had to get plenty of response to her disgusting smugness.
I AGREE!
Go Brit!!
Yeah, Fox News this week has been painful with out him. Except for Jim Angle, I didn't mind when he hosted, but Brian Wilson, yuck!
Britt just handed blow-hard Juan his head. Juan blew it.
In real time the story was gone after ONE day. After that it was about the 'COINCIDENCES' and his ANSWER father's BUSH BASHING. The Beheading was an ancilliary part of the story after just one news cycle.
The MEDIA is LEFTIST dominated and FOX does better but it too has been pretty lame on this. ALWAYS providing BOTH SIDES. Can ANYONE have imagined that REPORTING ON the BEHEADING of an American citizen would require TWO SIDES of the story?
The slimey Kristol giving Kerry advice, saying that he needs to be pro-military, pro-war, to capitolize on Bush's mistakes. Kristol said that anyone who is against the war, is going to vote for Kerry, and that swing voters who think that Bush has gotten us into a terrible mess will vote for Kerry.
Kristol is in ecstasy over President Bush's problems. That leaves the panel with 3 Bush-haters and Brit Hume. I hate Kristol.
Nothing..Juan is getting slapped by Brit over overhyping prison abuse as Juan completely distorted his message..Juan of course thinks its so serious all is lost and Brit was trying to teach him about war and perspective.
bump for later..
Timmy looked really bad on Jeopardy last week, getting beaten roundly by a Republican, and a RINO at that. The show had McLame on for a cameo too, who appeared borderline senile. So now Timmy is gonna make us all suffer.
