No one watches FTN!
Also this week I have seen few to no remarks about "This Week." Prime Minister Allawi was excellent (tough, knowledgeable, articulate, confident in the democratic future of Iraq) in his interview with Stephi.
Perhaps the person who wrote up the forgeries is the same person who jinns up the DNC talking points.

If not the same person, you have to start to think there is some working together going on. And they think this is clever?
Re: VP debate. Edwards will be reduced to channeling dead babies. It's who he is; it's what he does.
I think that he would win. He is very popular and a great speaker.
Actually, no conspiracy or slip-up on Timmy's part. President Clinton should and always will be referred to as "President Clinton". All ex-Presidents (and Congresscritters too, I believe) are referred to by their title whether they are in office or not. Tradition and/or protocol dictates.
Ha! I think Thune got the best of Tommy- you know DascHole felt he was losing when he dropped his voice two decibels and said his famous, "I'm disappointed to hear you say that" routine.
A) Timmy was talking about President BUSH when he said "President Clinton", and
B) President Bush has been called MR Bush ever since he got elected. Journalism style books apparently changed just about January 20 2001by coincidence.
I thought Timmy did one his unusually fair interviews- and - I thought Thune won.
B) You're right - I hear that too - or often they just say Bush, no President, no Mr.
There is a difference in journalistic styles, but I was just stating what they're supposed to say.
Their focus groups polled that if they continue to push this national guard story like they were going to it would only make them look more complicent in the fraud then they already appear to be. So they pulled the attack dogs to regroup for the next "story".
Excellent analysis.
Donate to Thune
I'm from Georgia, but this dream is worth some $$, I've sent a couple nice doncations, and asked my friends to do likewise.
Whatever other lessons are drawn from this, we ought at least to acknowledge that the privileged position accorded to ''official'' media and the restrictions placed on the citizenry by McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform are wholly unwarranted.
This is why big Media is so in love with McCain, and why he is not going to make a definitive statement on Rather and CBS.
huh? I know there will be Oregon, MI, PA, NM, at the least. These are based on what WERE battlegrounds before Buh's surge.
That's Bush's surge--not Buh's.
That is so weak. Yeah, how is the White House supposed to authenticate the memos of a dead man in 3 hours. CBS has been working on this story for supposedly 5 years and they have not been able to find or authenticate the dead man's memos. Jeesh. Bust CBS in the chops again.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent
I missed it -- did Thune do OK on MTP?
And will the Thune-Daschle debate be replayed on C-Span or something?
