Watching Mehlman on MTP now. I guess it's on so early because of the Tennis?

Fox seems to have the best lineup today. It's too bad no one could get Liddy and Dean on the same show together.

Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.(he's back!);

I thought DUmmy Biden never left...

[secret garden]

Wouldn't that have been too sweet? However, I'll enjoy seeing him rip Ben-Deteste a new one.

[mainepatsfan]

He's scheduled every week...he just gets other guests to fill in for him sometimes.

[Pusterfuss]

Ooooooh, please put Amnesty Int'l on with G. Gordon Liddy! I'd pay to see that.

[mainepatsfan]

I'd rather see him take on the idiot from Amnesty International.

[Alas Babylon!]

Thank you, Doctor!!!

[snugs]

As always thanks for the thread and your research in finding out who is on what

[Patriot from Philly]

I want to watch that Amnesty International guy. I wish Brit were interviewing him instead of Wallace. He is the one who had a press conference and encouraged foreign governments to arrest US officials including President Bush. He kept saying he had some "list" and made threatening noises about US official being careful when they go on vacation-creepy.

The media is downplaying these comments because, like the Newsweek incident shows, the leftist cabal need to shore up each other's credibility. If someone in the club says something incredibly irresponsible, let's just ignore it.

Also, he is a contributor to Senator Kennedy's 2006 senate campaign and Kerry's 2004 campaign.

Take off the gloves, Chris.

former Watergate prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste

Ben-Viniste was one of the smarmy creeps on the 9-11 Commission.

[snugs]

Thanks for the background

[snugs]

[Carolinamom]

Good Morning, AB, and thanks once again for this weekly thread.

CNN has SIX "former" folks. They never actually leave, do they?

[secret garden]

He's always been a smarmy creep.

[snugs]

They have got keep making money you know LOL

[anita]

I'd rather see him take on the idiot from Amnesty International.

You mean, ShAm-nAsty International?

Notice how the debate over American conduct at Gitmo has moved from the question of whether detainees were tortured to the question of whether a book was tortured?

[mathluv]

G. Gordon will be interesting.
