Some of them surely do. I am darn certain Trent Lott does (and I will give him credit for defending the President).

Now, part of the problem is that talk shows only air those guests they invite. You will remember that Tim Russert didn't have Blanco or Nagin on...only Chertoff). If our guys can't get on, they can't defend.

On the other hand, I have a list which I will keep until I die, of those Republicans and pundits who got air time and criticized the President and gave the locals a pass.

I am calling Lugar tomorrow. I suggest everyone call their senatos and congess critters and ask WHY they aren't speaking out.

Thos people, even if they can't get air time with the leftist media, could be sending statements via e-mail, mailings, local appearances, etc. We need to make them crawl out of their holes and DO IT!!!

Miss Marple, your comments bear repeating ... loudly:

I suggest everyone call their senators and congess critters and ask WHY they aren't speaking out.

keith(himmler)olberman now discounting gallup poll and using zogby and saying that Novak is a Bush ally and criticizing him.

Well, one thing is they are hitting the local media. I was listening to my local talk radio station yesterday, and the DJ teased the interview with Jim Talent thusly: "And next we will speak to Senator Jim Talent who has been surprisingly critical on the subject of the government's response to Katrina".

After I picked myself off the floor, I listened to the interview, and found the tease to be false. Talent didn't criticize the President or the "federal response".

I'm still trying to figure out how Bush screwed up? Maybe I'm slow, but I just don't see it. I'm sick of the Repubs all saying "We all agree that the Feds/Fema was slow.......". Why are they repeating this when, given the timeline, the time it takes to organize troops, etc. etc., it's proving NOT to be true?

I am going to call Senator Lindsey Graham tomorrow, but you know what I think of him.

It's true what you say about getting on television shows. Since that's not happening, I think our Congressmen should have a large press conference and invite the press. They'd have to cover it.

But I am going to make calls and spam the pertinent threads to encourage others to do the same.

I'll do that. Also, maybe call the local ABC, NBC and CBS affiliates. The news tip line is usually the best bet to get through. Tell them the news, give them the links and ask them why they won't cover it. We need to do an endround the MSM
