Considering how Imus runs his mouth in general about the Bush Administration.

Imus frequently plays President Bush's own voice while he is sounding good, unlike most other cable or radio shows. If more did this, W's ratings would be much higher. Most Americans only hear his few hesitations, etc.

Good morning all!

A caller on Dr. Bill Bennett's radio program this morning described a clip he recently watched on Clinton's 1993 inauguration. It was during the parade following the swearing in ceremony. Bill and Hillary were walking side by side. Chelsea was walking next to them. And who do you think was marching beside Chelsea? Michael (the freak) Jackson!! I'm looking for verification as I type.

Good morning people! :)

ED said she could only hear the drums, so she thought it was UT fight song. I wondered if Rick would know the Aggie song.

Gig 'em!

Chuck Hagel on CNN describing the 2nd term. He says Social Security not a crisis, but it should be fixed, immigration is a crisis, 2 or 3 more important areas, and we know we can't predict what will happen. "A full agenda", Hagel says. "if this president reaches out, brings democrats in, he'll do fine", says Hagel.

blah, blah, blah, "I've been critical of the president", Hagel says.

Howard Fineman calls Cheney's explanation on chaos in Iraq, "ridiculous". " One of the big problems with this administration is their utter unmoveablility, their inability to admit mistakes.", he says.

Is FR slow for everyone, or is it just my puter?

Band playing "Scotland the Brave."

Hi, everyone! I have my granddaughter at the other TV with cartoons (she is two). I am READY!!!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Good morning, friend. It's a great day, indeed!

[Miss Marple]

It is a great day! Last time we were distracted by the odious Clinton NOT LEAVING. This time we won't have to put up with that.

Fox is starting their official coverage with Chris Wallace. Brit Hume will take over at 11:00 or so.

Everyone on Imus making fun of Kerry for voting against Condi Rice, calling it typical. I thought the same thing. A GIANT flip-flopping extravaganza when Kerry said, "Rice is highly qualified, the president deserves to have his choice as Sec of State, but but...I'm voting against her". Way to go Kerry....another example of why you didn't win the election!

Newsweek's Meechum (sp) coming up on Imus..and he's always interesting.

[Bahbah]

Howard Fineman....is a complete idiot. This notion that the Administration should publicly air all of the rethinking that goes on as the war unfolds is disingenuous at best.

I've got C-Span on now...hitting the mute botton when the calls come in ;-)
