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.
I think Fred is the one who yells Mort down and I prefer Fred's politics so I'm not feeling sorry for Mort.
Enjoy the synergy and friendship of the two of them on their Beltway Boys. Used to enjoy them years ago on the McLaughlin Report - back when it was still sometimes rational.
