John Kerry… all lies… all the time.

Now, where's my peanut butter and jelly?

[anita]

> If there was ever any doubt about Russert's political affiliation this clinches it for me

Yeah, that 's for sure. Looks like he was asking for Condi's & Fox booked before him, he got angry & booked Kerry. (Fox & MTP are the only ones doing live's).

[NautiNurse]

oops--make that "Let freedom reign!"

...more coffee, please...

[rodguy911]

Thanks Nauti.

[hershey]

Kerry's talking points: He may not mention Vietnam, but if Russert brings it up, he will. Quagmire's okay, because Fat Teddy's already said it about a zillion times. Also, not enough soldiers at the beginning, 'lies' about WMD's, no allies, no UN involvement, GW's alienation of the entire world, blah, blah, blah. Brave Iraqis, but the vote is a fraud. No exit strategy. Kerry is a fool, desperately trying to get attention, but nobody's watching.

[rodguy911]

I'll tell you if f'ing is doing the scheduling over there at NBC it's even worse than thought, but you could be right.

[hershey]

True, Kerry has a plan...but it's a secret.

[beyond the sea]

Should be a great morning for the MSM and their efforts to spin the election.

Are these shows LIVE!?!?

Soros Says Kerry's Failings Undermined Campaign Against Bush

Jan. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire investor George Soros, the biggest financial contributor to the failed effort to defeat President George W. Bush in November's election, said Democratic challenger John Kerry was a flawed candidate.

Soros, chairman of Soros Fund Management LLC, spent $26 million in last year's campaign that he said was undermined by the candidate he supported.

``Kerry did not, actually, offer a credible and coherent alternative,'' Soros, 74, said yesterday in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. ``That had a lot to do with Bush being re-elected.''

[Bahbah]

Are these shows LIVE!?!?

Depends on what your definition of "live" is, especially as it relates to Kerry.

[Carolinamom]

Good Morning, AB. I heard that estimates for the vote turnout in Iraq are 70%.

Joe Biden is always on time for his TV appearances here, but in Switzerland last week he was 1 hour and 40 minutes late, according to an account I read. He showed up w/his wife, who was dressed in tight black leather pants and a top which showed her shoulders........at a meeting in which many Muslims were present, wine was about to be served, then taken away. Yet, dems go ballistic when VP Cheney dresses for the cold weather and is dissed because he's not wearing a black overcoat. Superficial observations of dress, I know, but points up the hypocrisy once again.

[Alas Babylon!]

They don't have TV in Elba, do they?

Sadly, yes. Make it Saint Helena. 1,000 miles from anything.

[rodguy911]

"Russert has never been a friend of conservatives"

Several months ago I might have disagreed but now....

The big question mark I have now is Brian
Williams. I haven't witnessed any left wing bias so far but the jury is still out.

[jennyjenny]

Aren't Kerry and Soros neighbors? At least in one of the neighborhoods they each own a home?

[somemoreequalthanothers]

Has the makings of a perfect John Kerry talking point:
"I called for more troops in Iraq just before my party demanded their removal"

[rodguy911]

He is taller, has an I,Robot implant for a brain and his wife is crazier and richer than most--those are the primary differences.

[beyond the sea]

Would someone please tell Kerry to let it go and go home?

John Jacques Strap Effin Shove It Maria Teresa Thierstein Simoes Ferreira Kerry is but a mental cripple.

But, as Annie Coulter says, You’ve got to admire a fellow who sees a room full of wealthy widows as ‘a target-rich environment.’

;-)

[rodguy911]

I hadn't heard that, makes it even worse.

[NautiNurse]

I'd bet $100 Kerry scheduled this because he was hoping the Iraq elections would be a disaster.

Astute observation--and you may be a winner.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

Williams claims to be a Rush Limbaugh listener. It he is not lying, that may help with his perspective.
