Timmy's using the DNC points is a good thing. It gives Pace a chance to comment on every single issue.

Every one of Timmy's questions is prefaced with a premise that at worst is wrong or at best is nuanced with the DNC viewpoint. And the guests respond accordingly. The Democrats use them as a starting point to expand their criticisms of US policy, President Bush, or both. Republican's (usually RINO's or spotlight seekers) fail to challenge them adequately or just agree with a "yes, but...". "Neutral" guests such as General Pace will occasionally outsmart Tim by using the questions as a springboard to make very relevant points on issues not covered by the old media. But in the main, the show never lives up to its promise as a spot-on show that evenhandedly delves into events, policies, politics and people.

Agreed and thanks. One of the best aspects of FR is knowing we're not alone in our reasoning, and find people who put things in perspectives we can use.

It is my understanding that Pace did an outstanding job of counterpoint to Timmy's DNC talking points.
