I am weary beyond belief of seeing clinton re-treads on all the talk shows. We saw and heard them ad nauseum for 8 years. In a country of more than 250 million people, there are surely some new faces from all walks of life that could be on these shows.

On Steph's show this morning, he introduced Martha Radditz, who has been their Penatgon correspondent...and the NEW White House correspondent...so, wouldn't she be taking Moran's spot...

Makes sense to me, and if anyone deserves to get his White House press pass pulled, it's Terry Moron. Now if only they'd yank passes from Helen Thomas and David Gregory ...

Unfortunately, that probably means that Martha Radditz is even more biased and unsufferable than Terry Moron.

I'd suggest that maybe the Democrats realized what a poor performance Murtha would give, but I don't think they have the ability to see it.

For now I don't think the Dems had anything to do with Murtha going on MTP. Cause like you say, he'd have been everywhere had the Dems been hyping it. I think MTP called Murtha and HE agreed to go on.

It's also interesting there's no Repub to counter him. I think this is by design. So okay a lot of them have gone home for the holiday but can't they video those things locally? Maybe the pubbies figured by debating this guy it lends him credibility. Isolate him and he looks like the Moonbat he is.

I'm convinced Murtha was the Dems' Ace in the Hole, to be brought out close to the Iraq final vote coming soon. I'm also convinced, FOLLOW THE MONEY, that Murtha's knee deep in some oil-for-palaces action.

2:1 the American people are speaking with their wallet...

Which partially explains this new coordinated Democrat strategy. And I know how fickle the average voter is too. I do not take this new strategy lightly, but apparently most here do.

"Just copied this from Howdy's milblog. It certainly contradicts whatever Murtha is saying, wouldn't you say?" Out of the mouth of a Capt B, a fellow Marine serving in Iraq: "Holy Crap Bat Man I could write a whole Blog entry on Sen Murtha. He came here in Iraq a couple months ago. Praising us for what a great job we did. He visited places out west like Haditha and told the Marines there “we are going to let you finish what you started” as I listened. He probed about requirements and gear and moral and was somewhat disappointed that we had what we needed and kept asking well what do you really need trying to find a problem. HE defiantly just pissed off a majority of the military now and has gone 180 degree from what he was saying and preaching about “Finishing the job” when he was face to face with us. He has been to Iraq ONCE for 3 days. Everything he is saying now is exactly the opposite of what he was saying when he was with us. He makes sound like he is a front line troop as he speaks. He is two faced and I have seen it first hand standing in front of him as he spoke to us. This is a very sad ploy by the democrats and will do nothing but hurt our troops."

Just disgraceful

We can see the truth of your statement in the polls. No matter how much we wish to not believe the sinking poll numbers of both the president and support for the war, there is a lessening of support for both.

And it's a direct result of over a year of people who don't pay attention to the news the way we do and hearing the MSM and left proclaim the war is based on lies. That MUST be countered and countered repeatedly.

I see no good reason to permit the lies to stand.

I agree with that completely. Unfortunately, most of the rest of America no longer does, which is a sentiment the Democrats are banking this new strategy on.

Think about this,

1) If the Military starts to draw down troops because they have been successful in handing over operations to the Iraqi military, the Dems will take credit for forcing the American military to withdraw.

2) If the military does not draw down troops, the dems will continue to call it a quagmire and demand an exit strategy.

When did Moran get the boot? Did the WH pull his credentials, or was he "reassigned?"

ABC official line - reassigned to Nightline's one of 3 anchors. But before that, there was a little tiff with Nicole Wallace - WH Com.Dir. Don't know the full details.

While you are right Peach, Friday night was a tremendous victory for us. and We needed it as well. After being beat up by some of the worst,viscous, made-up attacks ever done by a political party in political history, we kicked their asses.

They have tried everything from bad intel to Bush lied to Rove lied to Scooter lied to DeLay lied to no wmd's, and it was all beginning to get some traction. As long as the msm continued to spike the polls and cry bush is weak, has no support and he lied it was working.

Friday night changed all that.Boy oh boy do we owe J.D. Hayworth(Arizona's next senator?)
When push came to shove and the rats had to take a stand on the war, do you want to pull the troops out or not? They caved like the cheap suits, three dollar bills they are.
And worse yet for them it can't be spun their way out no matter how hard they try.
It's a great day to be an American and a Republican.

I just watched Senator Biden. He is one of the best examples of psychopathic fluency one can find. He even has a phony smile to go with it. Perhaps President Clinton is better at it, but I doubt it.

As is characteristic of these individuals words have a purpose and no real meaning. By that I mean they can tell outrageous lies and exhibit no apprehension because they are speaking for effect rather than describing a factual matter.

Someone in our Administration should check everything Biden said and, especially, his claim that VP Cheney claimed an imminent nuclear threat.

The RATS are just going crazy over the split in their ranks and the threat that Iraq is going to be a historical success in bringing democratic values to the Mideast.

"The roundtable on Stephy keeps talking about how "The American People" expect to see progress and we need to see that benchmarks have been set and accomplished...
The MSM always try to couch THEIR distrust and dislike by using "we, the American people" to so their dirty work...and I for one, do not like it."

The Clintonistas used a similar spin during Bubba's troubles. I can still hear Ann Lewis screech, he needs to get back to work for the American People. My response was I don't like the work he's doing for this American.

The American People would SEE PROGRESS if the jerks in the MSM would actually report ALL of the facts. However, for the most part, they only choose to report the car bombings, and not the building that's taken place and all the other good things that are being done, including, that 15 of the 18 provinces are basically secure and doing well. They make it look like the whole country is in disarray. They barely showed the last election, which was truly historical in a number of ways (Arab nation ratifying their own constitution, people in Iraq doing something most in the world (including those of us living in the US today) have never had an opportunity to do - ratify their Constitution, larger turnout than we have in our own country, even for Presidential elections, etc.).

I agree. The President and the military have many more facts and experience and know what's going on over there (and how other issues influence it and vice versa) than I. I'll admit something Stephy and other media lame brains don't seem able to admit to - I am not a military expert. It's up to the Pres and military to make those decisions, and w this Pres and SOD, I'm perfectly comfortable with them doing so.

The Dims no longer have any real power and, thus, must resort to spin, illusion and counter punching which makes them look pathetic. And, as an extra-added-bonus this past week they went way too close to the edge and our guys had the savvy and guts requisite to push them right off the cliff!

It's a great day in America!

Murtha was booked on MTP before Friday's vote, before the vote had even been thought up by the GOP. I think NBC announced his appearance Thursday night. Russert was stuck with him, maybe figured he couldn't get someone else on such short notice.
