Does Biden ever bother with actual facts instead of saying "blah, blah or blah, whatever it was"? I loathe that squeaky little man.

I hate to keep bringing this up, (all right I dont!)but anyone who uses hairplugs shouldnt be President...

[snugs]

General disouslishment with politics regardless of party is that what McCain is inferring.

[lawdude]

"Russert is actually asking hard questions of Kennedy."

For kennedy to comment on ethics other than to say, "I am NOT qualified to make that determination.", is beyond the pale.

[snugs]

Will the MSM cover it if does happen I doubt it. They will record it and play the bits they want changing the meaning completely.

[Seattle Conservative]

I wasn't listening very closely - now UpChuck on. It could just be the setting - Chuckie in Fox studio in NY, McCain in a studio(?) in AZ w an outdoor background, but in a split screen, Chuckie's headshot is much larger than McCain's (though it looks like Chuckie is leaning in a bit (probably trying to get into the camera as much as possible ), but less background. I remember during the debates and other news events it was proven that the Dims got more 'screen space' than the Pubbies. Probably just a coincidence here, but couldn't help but notice. Now UpChuck going on about how the WH is bunkering down like Nixon did and how he needs to clean house - "this is serious, serious stuff". Regan cleaned house and brought in Baker and Powell and he had good years after that.

[Bahbah]

LOL. Fareed Zakaria thinks Alito is over qualified for the Supreme Court. What in the heck does that mean? He is such an idiot.

[snugs]

That is a great photo one of my favourites !!

[TomGuy]

Chris Wallace. Sneaky. Using FNS to promote daddy's book.

[Morgan in Denver]

Hard questions for Kennedy? I'd bet each was submitted to him well in advance so he'd have his answers in mind. Teddy stutters and hesitates a lot when he's asked something he's not prepared for.

I just finished watching part of both round tables, the one on mtp and steffy's excuse for fair and balanced.

I was eating cereal when the mtp round table came up. I kept trying not to laught so the milk wouldn't go all over. Stephy was such a joke. They are both running off the same talking points; destroy Bush, rove, scooter et all. Bush lied, ever hear that before!!
I can't believe they think we are all that stupid.

one rat--Brownstern or something like that said that he had a poll that showed 7 % of the rats liked Bush, I think he could have got it a little lower than that!!
Just so much Barbara Striesand, nets desperately looking for numbers, really pathetic.

[cardinal4]

As usual, I am unable to watch-has there been any mention of France and the rioting Norwegians? They arent Norwegians? Ah, they must be French youths, then, celebrating a local soccer teams victory. No? Ok, then they have to be Trappist monks rioting for better food. Im wrong again? Then just who is rioting and burning cars in Gay Paree that is not being reported anywhere....?

[Fudd Fan]

Schmuckie saying the exact same thing that Fat Ted said? Sounds like it!

[Bahbah]

Hard questions for Kennedy? I'd bet each was submitted to him well in advance so he'd have his answers in mind. Teddy stutters and hesitates a lot when he's asked something he's not prepared for.

That was my impression as well. The questions were submitted in advance, I am almost sure of it.

[snugs]

Over qualified; it is not like as if he has been nominated for minor judicial position only Roberts has a higher one what on earth is he on about.

[rodguy911]

I just had the same experience on the other nets it must be the avion....

[snugs]

I am unable as yet to watch any of the shows we do not get them either to late afternoon or evening here in the UK.

[cardinal4]

Teddy stutters and hesitates a lot when he's asked something he's not prepared for blasted out of his mind on Chivas.

[Seattle Conservative]

"Hard questions for Kennedy? I'd bet each was submitted to him well in advance so he'd have his answers in mind. Teddy stutters and hesitates a lot when he's asked something he's not prepared for."

I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't surprise me if he was reading from a teleprompter so he wouldn't slip up. IIRC I don't think he's ever (or rarely) on w a Pubbie - just him alone. Would have been interesting to see Coburn or Sessions there in studio w him, rebutting his lies and providing answers for questions to which he didn't reply.

[snugs]

I would imageine most questions are to most guests.

[Mo1]

Why isn't Kristol fighting back for the truth instead of sitting on his butt, like most of the other "Conservative Pundits",; whining "Why doesn't Bush fight back".

Good point
