Morning Bahbah, Morning all freepers.
I was shocked to see one of our guys on C-Spam, they must have made a mistake,but it's early.


Beautiful day here in the Keys, no super bowl for me--all FR and the Sunday thread.Let the real games begin.

(36 1/2 hours until Jack Bauer takes the ball and runs for a TD.)

"Wow. Looks like a GREAT Sunday line up for a change!"

You're right, in that the R's outnumber the D's for the first time in my memory. However, I will only call it GREAT when all the hosts are neutral, and the number of conservative panel members equal the liberal panel members.

[Bahbah]

Good morning, rodguy. A bit chilly here. I envy you your weather today.

[rodguy911]

Congrats anita, cboldt, and SC for doing another great job last week.and a big thank you to MNJ and snugs for their hard difficult work.

Thurman's still looking for his helmet.

Good stuff out there this morning. I'll not miss ABC...can't wait to hear little Georgie's "gotcha" questions and watch as General Hayden makes a fool of him.

If you watched Mueller, Hayden, Negroponte, and Goss get grilled by democrat senators at last week's Intelligence Committee hearings, you know already Hayden (and the rest of them), don't just sit there and take Democrat crap. They fight back.

[anita]

Thanks AB. Even after strong criticism from all sides, Russert keep talking with his son's co-host Carville for one hour on CNBC yesterday. Looks like he has no controlling authority.

[mainepatsfan]

LOL. Never a good omen to start a game. Not that it would have made much of a difference that day.

[Bahbah]

you know already Hayden (and the rest of them), don't just sit there and take Democrat crap. They fight back.

And Hayden does it with such grace and decency. He's another Samuel Alito in that you just have to end up rooting for the guy.

[Dane]

Chrissy Matthews on his syndicated show doing his usual Bush bash this morning, with smirky david gregory being head cheerleader of the "he man Bush haters club".

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Thanks Alas Babylon for your help every Sunday am.

It is unbelievable to me that with the Mooslim Cartoon violence, Iran's nuclear nightmare and the Hamas bizarreness....we have Talk Show guests who are going to talk about " NSA spying"..especially when there is nothing to discuss about national surveillance that has been ongoing for years.

Talk about denial of our reality!

[Miss Marple]

Julian Phillips is at it again. He dismissed the burning of embassies as a result of a different culture, and blamed the cartoonists for inciting them.

governsleastgovernsbest has an entire thread devoted to this incident (along with my rants about the Vermont Teddy Bear Commercial). For the full flavor of his comments, go HERE

[rodguy911]

Excellent idea let's all buy whatever the Danes sell be it wooden shoes or whatever, to heck the terrorists.evidently its o.k. to cut heads off but you can't make fun of their "bubba" mohammed.

[johnny7]

Hayden & Mehlman on 'This Week'... 'Stephie's 'gonna need his Midol®.

[the final gentleman]

Strange... the top five interview programs are all discussing minutia of domestic security spying, and all will close with their Super Bowl predictions.

Meanwhile the Muslims are burning Europe.

[rodguy911]

Had dinner with my Colorado buddy last night how do you guys live at 8,500 feet without oxygen?

[rodguy911]

We had a cold front too, it got down into the 50's.(but i am still wearing my shorts)

[anita]

Thanks for the link. Did you see all these sunday anchors avoiding talking about it? That 's how brave they all are.

[mathluv]

Fox sounds better than usual.

Good morning, AB. Thanks, as always, for the thread.

[mainepatsfan]

How low do ratings have to be in the cable news business before a show gets canceled?!
