Kerry will be on the Sunday talk shows this morning.

I wonder if Tim will ask him about the effort to have him give the money back for all of those days he did not show up for work.

Me too... who is Denny Crane?

I'm so glad you both asked...I was too embarrassed.

I heard a short segment of Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" last week. IIRC, Steve Emerson (Jihad in America author) was Dr. Bennett's guest and they were discussing the Chalabi theories you mentioned. Emerson's bottom line: on the few occasions he actually met with Chalabi, he appeared to be a man who couldn't be trusted. Emerson didn't believe we set him up for the fall, but instead, considered him a corrupt seller of WMD fairy tales.

Baghdad Bureau Chief for Fox News now. He is forced to admit the election is going far better than he thought it would. He has a frowny face. HA!

[Claytay]

Well with a nut like Ted Turner running CNN what can you expect. The US bad terrorist good.

[Wilhelm Tell]

Are they using butterfly ballots in Iraq?

I don't know, but hanging chad is better than hanging dissidents.

I'm still amazed Reagan was able to accomplish what he did in an era where the MSM was still a monopoly.

[Dog]

Dana Lewis?

[mainepatsfan]

I think the nuts over at DU would disagree.

[goldstategop]

No one watches Boston Legal? >sigh Doing William Shatner impression: "I'm Denny Crane!" ;-)

Denny Crane: "I want two things. First God and then Fox News."

[mainepatsfan]

I wish Bush would ask these protesters if they have jobs.

[Dutchgirl]

I beleive its a character played by wiliam shatner on one of those lawyer shows, and I think they had him say the line to make him unlikable...but it appears to have backfired. Someone correct me if I'm off here.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Just watched CNN, "will american deaths cast a shadow over the bush legacy"..or some such tripe. They're really scraping the bottom.

"Will British deaths cast a shadow over the Churchill legacy"

CNN needs an enema

Fox is gonna interview former human shield turned war supporter...THAT should be interesting.

[marajade]

I did a google search and found that. The only show I watch on a regular basis is Battlestar Galattica on Sci Fi Channel. I've never legal Boston Legal.

[Aquinasfan]

Two Democracies in South Asia in 3 years. Something the liberals, Europe and the UN havent been able to acomplish in decades..

I don't think Bin Laden's plan is working.

This mornings media Talking points have made it to Fox.

Will a new round of violence start because the Sunnis don't feel represented in this government.

UGH!

[Miss Marple]

Oh, Rats. I meant the Baghdad Bureau Chief for NEWSWEEK on now, admitting the election is going far better he expected. And he doesn't look happy about it, either! HA!

[Larry Lucido]

But who in the world is Denny Crane? Have I missed something?

I think he won 31 games for the 1968 Detroit Tigers.
