[Alas Babylon!]

As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

[Pusterfuss]

Good morning AB, and, as always, thanks for posting this each week.

[beyond the sea]

I wonder what Frist will delicately have to say about Arlen 'Single Bullet' Sphincter.

Bye, bye, Arlen!

[TomGuy]

Too many of the same-o faces seem to be emerging again after the election.

If they had anything new to say, it might be different, but we will get a stream of the same-o.

Tony Blair on MTP seems to be the only one with postential for 'worth watching' this morning.

[beyond the sea]

I guess Mary and James will be on 'Meet The Depressed' at the same time. They ought to let them come on seperately. <P. By the way, did Carville place a wastebasket on his head this time around?

[JudyinCanada]

I may watch MTP as I have never seen Mary Matalin and James Carville together.

I'm wondering if he is any less obnoxious when his wife is right there with him.

[Unknown Freeper]

Thank you, AB.

[hoosiermama]

Have wondered the same thing about MM and JC. AM out of the door for church and work, so please ping me your observations....Thanks.

[Timeout]

That's a hard lineup to choose from. Frist is the only one likely to make news, so I guess I'll watch Fox and tape MTP...just for the pleasure of watching Mary lord it over Carville.

[SE Mom]

Thanks again for doing this each week:)

I've seen James and Mary together several times...I may be imagining this- but it seems to me she treats him like an errant schoolboy..

[beyond the sea]

I wonder if Dodd will be asked about this on 'Slay The Nation' by the ever-inquisitive Bob Shieffer.

HARTFORD (11/03/04) -- U.S. Sen. Christopher J. Dodd -- after trouncing the Republican novice who sought to deny him a fifth term -- today finds himself one of the most likely candidates to become the new Senate Democratic leader.

Moreover, Dodd's relatively generous disbursement of at least $234,000 in campaign contributions to key party committees and Senate candidates, including 11 re-elected incumbents and two newly-elected Democrats, may prove to have been a timely investment in his own political future.

[beyond the sea]

I'm wondering if he is any less obnoxious when his wife is right there with him

...... very slightly less in my opinion.

[rodguy911]

Good morning Alas Babylon, how are you this Sunday morning,

thanks again for the thread.

Mary Matlin and James Carville, let the sparks fly, I've e

heard ol' serpent head is getting a bit morose after their

defeat.

[FourPeas]

I'm wondering if he is any less obnoxious when his wife is right there with him.

Not as far as I'm concerned, although she does "handle" him well. Sort-of reminds me of the keepers at the zoo.

[rodguy911]

Unfortunately I can't recall the specifics but I think Dodd

has a rather shadowy past.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yes Tom, it's interesting who the networks pick as guests, it shows where they want to focus the news. I would've thought the recent capture of Fallujah by our troops would have been the top story.

Just another case of the MSM trying to make news instead of reporting it.

[rodguy911]

Anyone see Matthews weekend rant, I missed it, I had to turn

C-Spam off the crybaby rats are taking it over...again.

[Uncle Fud]

Notice that Terry McAuliffe is still in milk-carton territory.

[beyond the sea]

This?

*******

Dick Morris has a column pointing out that Democratic Senator Chris Dodd played a pivotal role in the Enron mess. In 1995, Dodd rammed through legislation, even over Clinton's veto, to protect firms like Enron from lawsuits against lawyers and accountants for aiding and abetting corporate fraud. From 1993-1997, Dodd received $345,903 from a grateful accounting industry. When the SEC tried to bar the practice of having auditing firms also do consulting work, Dodd intervened, and the SEC agreed not to issue a ban. Hang on, though, for politicians like Dodd, there is no shame. Now, he has introduced legislation banning firms from performing both auditing and consulting chores for the same company.

*******

By the way Dodd has a lot of dirt from way back but I must go feed the dog and cats.

Dodd is a weasel, not to put down the fine little weasels of the world.

[anita]

MSM's lovefest with McCain never stops, it seems. Stephie will try to get McCain say anything against the supposed CIA clean-up. Loosers are going to realize that their game is over this time.
