Thanks for your comments about Fred, and how he "reads better than he sounds." I was wondering......all this time.........if someone else thought that, or if it was just me. He tries to be "light" on Brit Hume's panel discussions, but he comes off sometimes muddled. On the other hand, Charles Krauthammer sounds as wonderful as he reads. Don't you agree? What an intellect he has, and he has overcome a lot in his life.

I just love it when Krauthammer is on Fox. He pops up a lot on the weekend shows also, especially with Tony Snow.

I think Fred gets "yelled down" on Brit's show by Mort so much, that he doesn't expect to get much talking time, and then when he does he's surprised and just doesn't say things right sometimes. I do agree with his writing.

Yes, in fact I started to put that in my post, but decided not to muddy my point. Charles in fact almost sounds better than he reads, if that's possible. There's an emotion there that doesn't across in print. But he's diamonds either way.

I do like Fred, and I think he is a very good conservative thinker. But I think he often sounds muddled, hurried and hesitant on TV, which tends to dilute his points.

Yup. When it is Krauthhammers turn to speak, the rest of the panel SHUTs the HELL UP. The man speaks with intellect and conviction; vs. when Juan blathers incoherent mindless disconnected (dan) blather.
