Wrong!
I wasn't real comfy about this port sale and I'm even less comfy with the fact that the SheBeast is taking the issue and running with it.
Glad to know that. I didn't know the other details before.
"Ain't no stinkin' A-rab gonna come down and take over my docks!!"
Thanks phsstpok, I was looking for this, big job ahead of you today!
And the press hates Vice President Cheney because he doesn't put up with their crap either. They both make the media look as stupid as they are! It is no wonder they want them gone!!
Here are a couple of articles on the ports:

I was very disappointed to hear that Ari was taking the "wrong" side in the Cheney deal...
What is is about ex-Bush employees, that they feel the need to critisize the Administration whenever they are interviewed??
Chiller,
You are correct. And with American Idol pulling greater ratings than the Olympics, NBC must be feeling the heat from the Bean-Counters.
My question is if they were flooded with emails and phone calls against Gregory his Meya-Culpa was Clintoneques and not good enough for me.
Is Timmy his Boss?
Then why the hell hasn't he (Gregory) been fired?
For that matter most of us here on the Freep could ask better questions than Russert?
Why the hell hasn't he been fired?
If their overall ratings continue to decline, they are not going to be able to justify their salaries. Early Retirements may become the norm.

Facts are pesky things, but imperative if we are to have an informed citizenry.
I despair!
My problem is that I am very uncomfortable with this deal...
BUT, when I saw that Hillary ran in at the LAST minute, after the letter was sent by Schumer (yuck), Coburn, Foley, and others....so SHE could get credit....
There is a big part of me that WANTS to find a reason to say that is is okay now....(childish, I know)...LOL
Great post Peach, we can set the agenda by ignoring the MSM spin BS yet pointing it out when they constantly get away with ignoring key stories in the news.
Letterman is sick. Never watch him anymore - too much politics - hard over left leaning loony liberal!
I never watch ABC but have had it on this A.M. and I'm just amazed at how bad little Georgie's show is. It's a cartoon with a Democrat activist as the star pretending to be a "journalist". It's downright sad and very funny at the same time. And what heppened to George Will? He used to have testicles.
And ex-Congressmen like Joe Scarborugh. Can't believe how much Joe has become like the stupid liberals he hangs out with in the MSM. He is a totally different person than he was in Congress. I used to like Joe, but now I have zero respect for him.
