Well, Fred tends to stammer when he talks. He has a very good insight, especially when prodded by Mort.
I LOVE the look on Britt Humes face when Juan Williams is talking.
DITTO. Haha I just love Brit. (period)
Thank you, Fred, for this delicious account. We're all sitting here with our arms crossed in front of our chests in triumph.
Dubya ROCKS.
There ain't a razor made that would shave the hair off'a her back!
After months of trouble--beginning with the emergence in 2003 of a strong insurgency in Iraq and abetted by the failure to find WMD--Bush is once again in a strong position, politically and otherwise. The trend line of his presidency has been jagged. The line was flat in his first eight months in the White House, then it skyrocketed after 9/11, before drifting downward until he produced a strong Republican performance in the 2002 midterm election. Then it soared again during the war in Iraq, only to plummet as postwar turmoil set in. Following his reelection, the trajectory of the Bush presidency is again upward, buoyed by successful elections in Afghanistan and Iraq, a memorable inaugural address, and an effective State of the Union.Hmm. These "jags" are really the consequence of the activities of partisan media shills. It was magnanimous indeed for the president to uphold the tradition, and amusing that none of the anchors seems to have gotten his joke -- when he wondered why he was doing this. ;')

Tell us more. I find it hard to imagine Krauthammer and Tony Snow not being in tune about anything.
Cold? No way. Sly? Yes. I love that about him too.
Yes. Fred's spoken message is often diluted by his stammering way of speaking. He's much more effective in print.
I third that. :)
Tony shot down Charles? Why? Tell all. I'm surprised at Tony.
Funny how an article on Social Security, after just a few posts, turns into a TV personality contest.
What a great response! Not bad for an "dunce".
Or as Arnold would have put it "Vy would I want to listen to looosers." What a great pair!
BTW, has anybody else noticed that since the inauguration and the Iraqi election, the MSM is showing a lot more respect for W, especially the body language?
Yes, I have noticed that very thing. It's very obvious, isn't it? Some very dense people are apparently starting to wake up and smell the coffee.
In large part, they are.
Those first 8 months of 'flatlining' were mostly due to the delayed election results of 2000... tax-cut opposition and cabinet-appointee deliberations. The press pushed the notion that he was 'selected'... not elected.
The MSM has functioned as a 'third party' throughout his presidency. It will continue to do so whenever a Republican, or conservative of any ilk, resides in the White House.
I also think Fred benefits from Mort. Too often conservatives talk to each other these days because liberals are just so stupid and reactionary. I could go on Hannity and Colmes as a liberal because I know what their response will be to everything. But Mort is thoughtful and not a knee-jerker. Fred can certainly hold his own, but it helps to have Mort around for Fred to make good arguments.
You can start here!
Don't forget to get the frequency from him!
I don't think W is cold... he always just seems to let them know that it's nothing HE's doing to THEM, but that they're going to have to live with the consequences of his behavior. Just like a good parent.
Dick Morris called him the Mohammed Ali of American Politics. While I think the analogy may be unfortunate, it is rather accurate in that he seems to win whatever he takes on. We trust he won't end up like Ali.
