I haven't started one of these before, but I thought a live discussion thread might be appropriate. Post away!

I think Dave Letterman did a great job. He came across as skeptical yet friendly, unbiased, non-fawning---- he was excellent.

Pataki is a liberal hump, but he's not a ruthless lying backstabber like Hagel or McCain.

He's a good egg when it comes to supporting the president or the party.

He just happens to be wrong on about 70% of the issues, but even then, he's honest about it.

Thune was fabulous on Meet the Press yesterday going face to face with Tom Daschle and Tim Russert moderating.

He really stuck it to little Tommy.

Daschle was really looking bad, and John Thune made him sound worse. I loved watching it.

At one point, I thought Tommy was going to cry. And the fake Kerry-Carter-Clinonesque hurt he put on, just before his, "only one of us up here is a Veteran!"

Title was Halliburton: The Bush/Iraq Scandal that wasn't.

I have to watch a little Britt Hume, it's like a political shower to wash of the Kerry stank.

Amen, Amen.. :)

I thought it was amusing that after Kerry did the Top Ten whatevers, Letterman didn't look particularly impressed or entertained. Kerry looked a bit embarrassed that Letterman wasn't falling over himself laughing.

It's great we have a few stand up Republicans now, not afraid to lay it on the line. I'm so sick of the wimps that the MSM allows on TV and pretends is balance in their 3 to 1 round tables.

And I count Zell as a stand up American. Bless his heart!

[dawn53]

Yeah the polls are narrowing. Places where Kerry had a BIG lead are now within Bush's reach, LOL.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

That Top Ten blew dog. It looked like it came from the Kerry campaign. Even Hillary's was funny compared to his. His wasn't even humorous for normal lib drivel.

[patriciaruth]

Thank you, and thank you Byron York!

Turn on Nightline-- Rathergate and liberal bias is the topic. So far, so good.

I was at the Letterman taping tonight - after Kerry left the stage, Letterman said "man - that felt like I just fell off a moving truck!" talking about how painful the interview was. This was before the green day intro.

HOWEVER, when I watched Letterman tonight, CBS edited it out! WTF?!?!??! Another Kerry protection tactic?

[Mockingbird For Short]

It just hit me--- duh-- why the heck didn't Letterman ask him about the accusations by the Swiftees??????? Boy, I woulda' loved to see him come up with something to say to that.

Even if they don't shut up, McCain and Hagel need to be stopped dead in their tracks. McCain is a snake in the grass. The more one looks into his start in politics, the worse it becomes. Everything you need to know about John McCain's character can be learned by examining the history of his life from the time he got back from Vietnam to the time he won his first House race.

[Irish Eyes]

LOL...Great accessories!!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I can almost bet that if President Bush was on, a similar comment would have made it to the air. After the Amazing Race finale tomorrow, I'm done with CBS for good, not that I watch it much now.

Somebody said the Green Day lead singer held up something at the end of the song, any idea what that was?
So GD had to resort to foul language to cover up their lack of talent. Typical libs.

[rwilson99]

I remember a bite at the CBS hand that feeds. Kerry made a mention of "depends on what network you want to believe David."

btw... Don't most guests call DL, "Dave."

[Mockingbird For Short]

Love your tagline! LOL.

[ApplegateRanch]

Is there really any reason not to off myself. Because I absolutely cannot give my 2 grandsons and my 2 daughters 4 more years of the horrible, disgusting, life in the US of the power hungry, white, stupid, oil rich male regime of the bushes!!!!

THAT is disturbing as all get out!

I hope someone does get to her, before she becomes the next Susan Smith.

It is phrasing like hers that puts the grandchildren in possible grave danger, if not everyone else around her as well.
