FYI, in case not everyone has heard, the man named Brown in the above case is the father of the lovely Campbell Brown of msnbc. (She who has not one good word to say about anyone in the administration.)

That 's interesting. If I remember correctly, I heard something to the effect that her father was arrested & jailed for some criminal conduct some time ago.

Juan Williams says most people want to know what Roberts thinks about abortion and the other simmering issues of the day. I think Juan is full of it.

[OldFriend]

Certainly was not in our news.

[Mister Baredog]

For the leftists, "Karl Rove" is so much easier to chant than "Richard Mellon Scaife"...

ROTFLMAO, I love FReeper humor, thanks.

[OldFriend]

Without bubba's clout she's nothing.

[FreedomNeocon]

Wowsa.... the MTP interview looks so FAKE.... from the alternating camera angels between Timmy face close-ups and Bubba close-ups, to the audio 'cut out' between question and answers.

Anyway... totally softballs, asking clinton on his 'views' on the democrat talking points and letting him answer, then move on to asking him his 'opinion' on the next talking point.

On clinton's part, he says Iraq was a mistake and a distraction from the war on Terror, and the whole deal in Iraq has hurt america overall. FEMA needs reform (taken out of HS 'like it was under me')

No questions on Able Danger (shocking!)

[rodguy911]

Excellent analysis. I think you have him tagged him, it's as if he is morphing all the time. It's a new day, new chicks, more money etc....

I just watched the whole fat Tim/bubba interview and it was puke inducing.

The guy remains as slick as ever, even though he looks like death warmed over.
For Bubba, Tim Russert was not even a challenge but more of a 'what shall I do for the next hour' type of interview. He mandhandled Timmy,the obliging slave, without even giving it a second thought.

You can tell from his comments that Bubba is all about power, it's his ultimate high now, maybe one notch above chicks or money.
Terrorism for Bubba, for example, is like the budget deficit, just one more thing you are forced to consider as Potus. Like it or not, but you really don't have to "do" anything, just talk the game like Morgan says.

He played the global warming, race bating game, let's tax the rich more, it was the same old sh!t all over again!!
He was so slick that he even got a little triangulation in by stating that the private sector should do more in NO after he stated the govt. needs to take care of the 'poor'those beloved 'poor' our first black president,blah,blah,blah.

Russert did ask Bubba whether or not Hillary should declare she was in for 6 years as Senator and Bubba said "how could she, the poor thing, she doesn't know yet",. Tim let it slide as you would expect. He knows his master when he meets him.

QUESTION: Does anyone see what's wrong here:

Caroline Kennedy just said, "My mother always encouraged John and I to read poetry."

[Txsleuth]

Frow what I have seen so far....the biggest weenie of the day, should go, once again, to Timmy Russert...

During his intvu with Clinton...he said the spending for Katrina at "over $300 billion"....huh? First of all, Bush hasn't mentioned the $200 billion number yet...and Timmy makes up his own number and acts like "everyone knows" that is how much it will cost....

Clinton of course, comes in as second weenie---too much to name right now...

Did anyone see Col Hunt on BOR Friday where he had inside info from Police and Military friends of his that are in NOLA and the Gulf coast? I did not see the program myself, but was informed by a friend that Col Hunt related info that is being kept under wraps that Rival Gangs from outside NOLA came from as many as 5 states invading NOLA after the flooding began. He said they came with rubber boats and used quiet trolling motors to get access to major Banks,Jewelry Stores, high value merchandise stores, and fled with over 60 million dollars worth. They were not stopped by the Police because they had high powered guns,and the Police were outnumbered, especially after many of them just abandoned their duty. These probably took place over a three day period when they were trying to Rescue a lot of people on roofs. From what I can understand that was what the shooting was about, the snipers were the out of state gangs that did not want their grand larceny interrupted. If any of this info is not correct feel free to post what has been uncovered.

When did it break in your news then because the procedure he had earlier this year or was it last - time just seems to fly these days was the second time that the problem with his irregular heart beat had been treated and public knowledge in Britain. The first time if I remember correctly he spoke about how he had felt when it happened I think he had some treatment to correct it (maybe just medication) but obviously that did work and he had to have the second procedure

[Cboldt]

Everyone brags about how great a politician he is.

Breaking down his support by sex, a majority of females voted for Clinton, and less than a majority of males did. He knows how to win elections, one must give him credit for that.

[anita]

When two editorials warn the democrats to support Roberts or face consequences, it 's over.

[Bahbah]

"My mother always encouraged John and I to read poetry."

Obviously she should have had them read some basic English texts. That would be "John and me."

[FreedomNeocon]

I've also noticed the talking point is out... going to use Katrina spending to argue against Iraq / Tax Cuts / (at least complain) about Health Care / etc. I heard the same idea expressed by several 'talking heads' this morning.

[mathluv]

I remember thinking it was BOR whose 'loose lips sink shiips'.

[Mister Baredog]

Did anyone see Col Hunt on BOR Friday where he had inside info from Police and Military friends of his that are in NOLA and the Gulf coast?

I saw it and you can bet yur bippy we won't hear it anywhere else.

[snugs]

Oh my goodness and she cannot even get her English grammar right should be me not I.

[Graymatter]

And she was the smart one in the family!

[mathluv]

'He knows how to win elections, one must give him credit for that.'

He did not get 50% either time - dear Ross got him elected.
