Bidens back, Boss!
That conservative stalwart Richard Lugar will face off against the liberal Christopher Dodd on See-B-S.
Russert has Murtha but makes sure no Republican is on to dispute what Timmyll paint as the Republican Sliming of War Hero Murtha.
This could be interesting.
Good morning, Alas. I want to hear one person quote anything that anyone from the Administration has said negative about Murtha. I have plenty of negative comments about him, but I don't count.

*****But, Peach already exposed Tim Russert acting as democrat-stooge, by twisting Powell's words by selective editing of MTP appearance.
*****Will Russert demand an answer from Murtha with this as he did with Tom Delay & other republicans?
Jack Murtha about Abscam Scandal & about his ethics problems?
Republican lawmakers say that ties between Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and his brother's lobbying firm, KSA Consulting, may warrant investigation by the House ethics committee... According to a June 13 article in The Los Angeles Times, the fiscal 2005 defense appropriations bill included more than $20 million in funding for at least 10 companies for whom KSA lobbied. Carmen Scialabba, a longtime Murtha aide, works at KSA as well.
KSA directly lobbied Murtha's office on behalf of seven companies, and a Murtha aide told a defense contractor that it should retain KSA to represent it, according to the LA Times.
In early 2004, Murtha reportedly leaned on U.S. Navy officials to sign a contract to transfer the Hunters Point Shipyard to the city of San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. A company called Lennar Inc. had right to the land, and Laurence Pelosi, nephew to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was an executive with the firm at that time.
Murtha also inserted earmarks in defense bills that steered millions of dollars in federal research funds toward companies owned by children of fellow Pennsylvania Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D). ..
At least 4 networks sense that Rumsfeld's views matter something today after last weeks incidents. Apparently, for Russert his democrat friend is much desirable than Sec.Def.
Just heard on Fox that Harold Ford, Jr. will not be making his announced appearance this morning. Hmmmm.
Don't hold your breath on getting an accurate quote from the media....they have inaccurately accused the congresswoman of calling Murtha a coward, when in fact, she was reading him a message from a soldier!
Ford chickened out??
Murtha had been a critic of the current Iraq war in 2002, before it started?
"I won't stand for the swift-boating of Jack Murtha," Kerry said. The Democrats won't stand for taking Murtha's words seriously, which I take to be the real meaning "swift-boating."
Murtha himself declared, "All of Iraq must know Iraq is free -- free from United States occupation." I propose that Murtha go to the White House and throw John Kerry's medals over a fence at the Capitol in protest of the American "occupation" of Iraq, and that John Kerry then step forward to defend him from those of us who stand at the ready to "swift-boat" Murtha.
If I tried that, I would have been dead long ago. I have been listening to repeated accusations that the right is "smearing" Murtha, and not one person has challenged them to provide a quote.
Good morning. And, thanks for the thread...
Morning, everyone. Think I'll watch Rummy today......
Good morning...Plugs Biden on a Sunday talk program. Will wonders never cease?
I heard that a liberal web site is advocationg for boycott of Fox.
Thanks, anita. Best expose Murtha right off the bat before anyone thinks he's a serious representative for the left.
Thank goodness for Fox, even if they are having hairplugs on. MTP sounds just awful - no pubbie on to counter the dim lies (not that he would allow them to talk if they were on the program!).
Good evening everyone.
AB...as always thanks for providing this thread.
I am going to tape the CSPAN replay of the debate Friday night, but I doubt if the cameras will show that Harold Ford led the charge against the newbie Congresswoman. Perhaps he is feeling a bit of remorse at his bullying behavior.
