Bush is going on Oreilly. Much harder interview then those forums Kerry will be on. It does give him exposure but at what cost? Kerry being on a talk show is not impressive being asked flowery questions.. ya won't hear "Mr Kerry, why did you burn down those villages?"

This isn't to give Kerry a chance to explain Iraq, it's a shot a giving him a likabale side..to joke around. It's style and substance that is hurting him. They are hoping to fix up the style side with this. It is something to be wary of...unless they 'let Kerry be Kerry' LOL

"Bill O'Reilly (currently major anus-kissing the democrats and CBS) is the toughest (but fair) interviewer in the media."

Yes, but if I know O'Reilly like I think I do, he'll start to pound Kerry until Kerry finds his nuts and also appears. O'Reilly thinks he is emperor of the media, and will take it as a personal insult if Kerry doesn't pay homage. You don't want to piss off his royal highness.

Kerry and Teresa will appear on Dr. Phil together...the show is being taped today in LA. Mrs. Phil will also be present and the four of them will discuss raising children, I kid thee not.

W and Laura have also taped an interview with Dr. Phil but it has not been scheduled for an airdate yet.

Dr. Phil has a huge audience but not as huge as O'Reilly where Bush will appear next week.

Kerry is doing what Hillary will do and has done - avoid the press and go on the daytime shows.

In 2000, Gore went on Oprah and he kissed and hugged her in a very wooden manner which really ticked off her fans;when W was on, he hugged and pecked her on the cheek very warmly and Oprah clearly enjoyed him. Got lots of votes for W.

There are media outlet press personnel assigned to the Kerry campaign. They ride with him, travel with him, eat when he eats, sleep when he sleeps, and their job has been to report on the campaign exclusively.

Kerry has not let them do their job for six frickin weeks. Can you imagine how mad your boss would be if he paid you to ride around the country for six weeks with nothing to report, leaving the only story to fill the news is Dan Rather!

This is by design, I'm sure, Kerry's plan. But every day Kerry does not meet with the same press who's been riding around with him for six weeks, the meaner and meaner the dogs get. It's going to be McCurry's job to calm the mad dogs down. That's why they brought him in. It's a matter of if they will let McCurry expend his charm on keeping them at bay. I don't think they will.

Kerry recently appeared on Comedy Central. Didn't help him a bit in the polls. Appearing on Phil and Letterman won't help either.

O'Reilly gave the outline for his interview with President Bush the other night. He didn't say anything about prepped questions (that I can rememeber), but that there IS a protocol to follow when interviewing the POTUS. He said the line of questioning must be respectful because (para) "you're addressing the most powerful man in the world."

At least Bush has the guts to go on with O'Reilly, which is more than we can say for Lurch.

It's my opinion that the EFF bomb Kerry dropped for Rolling Stone is the only thing that brought him this far. Sad huh?

Look for him to drop another EFF bomb about 30 days out.

Imus asked sKerry "What's your plan for Iraq?" sKerry said "Perhaps you should ask the President what his is! Ask hime how many of our men and women have to die? Ask him what his exit plan is..." Imus said "He's not on now, you are!" sKerry changed the subject. This is what he'll attempt at the debates.

Kerry should appear on Springer with his brunette daughter. She can get into an argument with him on stage and then pull up her shirt and show her "flap-jacks" to everybody in the audience. That should get her dad another 2 or 3 votes.

Maybe Kerry could get on one of these reality shows. Eating bugs or something like that.

Watch out for O'Reilly.

You are correct, sir. His day will also come and he will pull a Rather. It might not be this month or this year, but it will happen.

My hope is that FOX will pull the plug on him quickly when he does. I'd hate to see what is happening to CBS happen to FOX.

Here's a question for Kerry on the fluff shows,

Marie Antionnette claimed "Let them have cake" , Tereeza claimed "Let them run naked a while".....Does Tereeza style herself after any particular female head of state?

It`s because he doesn`t want to talk about his Commie sympathy. In the 70`s it seemed he couldn`t get enough attention for his Communist love, now he wants no attention about it whatsoever. John Kerry; The Trojan horse of liberals. Make pretend you`re a Patriot and if you`re elected, once you`re inside, pop out that socialism and those Commie principals. N.Korea, Castro probably can`t wait..."Our Comrade is in! He has begun the disarming the US! It is accomplished!"
