[mware]

Wow. Face The Nation, is really balanced today.

[Morgan in Denver]

Good morning AB, and all.

FNC blanked with liberals? Oh well, as long as Brit Hume is there maybe the fireworks will be an extension of July 4th.

[anita]

Mr. Libby had told Mr. Fitzgerald that he had heard about Ms. Wilson from, the New York Times reports.

Mr. RussertRussert has any crediblity after this?

[Morgan in Denver]

blanked = blanketed Sorry.

[snugs]

Good morning nice to be back with you all, dad is out of hospital but not feeling that great.

[rodguy911]

Morning AB and thank you as usual for providing the t.v. talk show thread.

Watch for Mary Landrieu's smiling face, beneath it are lies and deception and page after page of rat/talking points, she is truly a lame brain.

Matt Cooper on Timmy, that should be predictable, ol Bob Woodward wheeling out karl bernstien again, Berny must be low on cash. Again. Maybe a ploy to take a few bucks away from someone. anyone, can you say Media Whores.

And finally the piece de resistance the evil Chuckie Doll and lying Joe Wilson. That will be something to see as they roll all over ol' Bob Schieffer on CeeBS.

[Patriot from Philly]

Well, they have Lindsay Graham, that strong defender of Republicans and the Administration. It's going to be a painful Sunday. I would like to see Cooper really grilled and Wilson exposed as the serial liar he is, ain't gone to happen since the questioners are part of the same cabal.

[Shqipo]

Will the highly overrated Tim Russert even toss one serious inquiry to his fellow journalist? Doubtful. This story has truly epitomized the wretched state of modern day journalism and its worship at the temple of "factual relevance".

[rodguy911]

Morning Morgan the weather any better out there, we dodged another bullet here.

Nothing to report on my Friday & Saturday nite hobby; Everything finally went off swimingly on both night's performances. I'm also over on E-Bay this morning bidding on an "Effects Pedal" for bass to add some variety to my tone and sound.

[Timeout]

It's always a close call which is harder: having them in hospital or out.

Has anyone heard what Matt Cooper's TIME Mag article says?

[newconhere]

I cant believe Wilson is actually going to do this, now. Face the Nation ought to be interesting lets just hope Bob S. has all of his notes current and straight? yea right.

[anita]

'puter screwed up, sorry.

Mr. Libby had told Mr. Fitzgerald that he had heard about Ms. Wilson from Mr. Russert, the New York Times reports.

Russert has any crediblity after this?

[Morgan in Denver]

At least he's out. That alone is a step in the right direction.

[rodguy911]

Good to hear from you again snugs. Hope all is well soon with your father.

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Wilson and Chuckie on FTN today. Maybe this will be Wilson's final performance. I guarantee that at least 90% of the American people don't know who he is, nor do they care. In a weeks time the other 10% will forget all about him. Chuckie won't even be returning his phone calls. We all know people like Wilson and Plame. They are "self promoters", so caught up in their self importance that they can't see the truth - that they are nothing more than 2 bit players.

[hoosiermama]

Mayabe he'll tell us today so we won't have to buy it.

[pinz-n-needlez]

Thanks, AB.

Marking for tonight. :-)

[Morgan in Denver]
