Stuff a sock in it. Lee is a pro's pro, but Mel is an able sidekick, and brings passion and a needed shot of estrogen. She doesn't drag the show down a bit. Mel may not be the most scintillating extemporaneous orator on the air, but she was and is a good news reporter. And on her worst day, she's better than our President, whose father was President, you may remember.
Do you wish to extend your "cronyism" accusation to him as well?
As a talk-show host (in Boston), Howie Carr hears enough to know that Ted Kennedy couldn't pull 3% of the vote in Massachusetts.
Where did you hear that?
bttt
Enjoy the prospects of being the minority party do ya? (That's where the GOP performs best anyway). You can't win an election without us, so go ahead and keep pushing. Not to worry though, if you guy's continue your leftist march, more and more Democrats will join you, and your numbers will balance back out, in 40-50 years or so. After 20+ years in the GOP, I've pretty much thrown my hands up anyway. I'm looking for a new home, one that shows me a little respect for my efforts, and I'm not likely alone. Throw some more tantrums, spew some more hatred, enjoy your misery loser. Blackbird.
Though I don't know how he feels towards the Libertarians, he would make a phenomenally charismatic leader, if you ask me.
Even if he's in the wrong state.

Perhaps they think there is strength in numbers.
May their listening numbers fall into the toilet!
If you are banned, then why not take the hint and go away.
Is everyone who attacks those who criticize the Miers appointment this foggy? First of all, your chronology is all backwards. Melanie has been with ABC affiliates in San Francisco since the 80's. Second, that is a private business and that is the shareholders money. Don't like it. Don't listen. The SC is a public office, in case you had not been paying attention. Fourth, you can try to tune the SC out, but it might come back to get you.
The Senators are leaning toward hearings..
I have a rolling list of the Senate Judiciary committee Republican party members who support her having hearings.
Basically..there is only one holdout left..
Click here. Then go to post #7 to see three of the Senators statements who are in the affirmative on the hearings and add this Senator..
Mr. Graham (R) Mr.Graham...affirmative
“President Bush has made a solid pick for the Supreme Court.
“Harriet Miers has been in the legal trenches throughout her career and has a tremendous understanding of how the law works in people’s everyday lives. Her legal experience combined with her life experience makes her a solid choice.
“I hope for and anticipate a smooth confirmation process with a significant bipartisan vote in support. In my opinion, there will be no filibuster as she is a mainstream conservative who will be a strict constructionist on the Supreme Court.
I believe he thinks the Libertarians (at least around here) are interested only in legalizing drugs. He's not persuaded of the good of that, and -- mostly -- finds it, well, an inadequate platform.
He probably would make a good candidate, though. I think with a lot of people, personality as transmitted through radio/TV counts for more than it should as far as vote-getting goes.
Like President Bush, who sidestepped the issue?
Yet Fred Barnes opens with..."IF ALL GOES WELL, Harriet Miers will turn out to be a less impressive version of John Roberts: that is, a judicial conservative, or constitutionalist, who will cause the ideological balance on the Supreme Court to shift to the right. "
How encouraging.
Against her: The Corner, Tucker Carlson, Bill Kristol, Robert Bork, Mark Levin, George Will, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage, and Charles Krauthhammer.

You forgot Rush.
That's it! Conservatives are catching Liberal Negativism (LN). It's not Bird Flu that going around but Dumbo-rat LN!
IIRC, Ken Starr supported Sandra Day too.
"On Miers' side to date: Ken Starr, Lino Gralia, Thomas Sowell, James Dobson, Jay Sekulow, Marvin Olasky, Chuck Colson, Michael Medved, William Rusher, R. Emmett Tyrrell and of course Fred Barnes."
Please post their Miers endorsements, I missed them.
Go check Hugh Hewitt and you will find them.
Methinks you go too far including Rush, Brownback, and Sowell.
***
Rush said Wednesday "I am opposed to this nomination."
To lump Melanie in with the likes of some of the "distinguished" conservatives who basically shot their allies in the foot to win their hearts is an insult to Melanie.
