“We provided, I think, a valuable service in doing a lot of investigation and coming up and shoring up this Committee on Foreign Investment and uncovering some of this.”

**snort**... 'whud'a maroon.

OOPS...I worded that last part wrong...I meant to say that BEFORE we ended up with McCain the GOP candidate...I hope we can expose his past...

Whew...that was close!

It was a joke. Unfortunately the graphic, which showed up on preview, just shows a box instead.  It was the poster for a movie.

New England Wire and Cable was the company involved in the Danny DeVito movie, Other People's Money.  A very funny movie, IMHO.  Uber liberal DeVito playing a ruthless wall street hustler versus noble and stalwart liberal company owner, played by Gregory Peck, with Penelope Ann Miller playing Peck's step daughter sharpie lawyer and potential love interest for DeVito.  The set up is so over the top to make the EVIL CAPITALIST out to be the bad guy, but when you're all done with it he actually comes off as the most sympathetic character in the whole piece (Peck's character isn't a "bad guy," just naive)..  Fun movie.

Wow, cyber-booze, my kind of hangover.

"I will read the rest....but DANG if this doesn't irritate me.. he could've SHOWN he MEANT any of this gibberish if he would've TRULY TRUSTED the COMMON SENSE of most Americans if he'd have just allowed the 45 day review..."

Pence is one of the few who fought for a 45 day hold even though he didn't support the deal.BTW,a HOLD is supposed to mean a hold on the deal.The President tried to move forward while the review was in progress.Pence did all he could to be fair,it was out of his hands.

Thanks so much for posting the transcript! I missed the first part of the program. My son TiVos it so I can watch it later but right now I have to watch BC and Duke. Now, there's a quandry! What to do, what to do? I have a son at both schools! Yikes! Go ACC? ;-D

[Morgan in Denver]

Glad I could help. I hope your posts worked too.

[Pukin Dog]

It is a good TV time, eh? Are you a Gallactica person? If so, does it get any better than that?

[FreeReign]

Hunter:And you know, I gave the president the federal district court documents, the affidavits of our customs agents, and he was very interested in getting those before they made the decision to -- before Dubai pulled the plug on this thing. So I think the president, having all the information, would have stopped this deal.

Okay, I read further.

Interesting statement. I would like to see these federal court documents.

[snugs]

Ooops LOL

[eeevil conservative]

I nominate Cboldt for #1 just on the posting of this transcript alone..

LOL!

and no- just because I am voicing a nomination does NOT mean I EVER want to be the top ten judge! LOL!

WAY too many great FReepers here!

[rodguy911]

Yeah I know that's the problem.

[luv2ski]

What makes me crazy is that I have gotten so used to the ability to rewind (Did he say what I thought he said?!) that when I hear things on the radio Same here. That's why I got Rush 24/7. I can now rewind his show too.

Me, too! It's the best! You can listen to the entire show in about an hour and a half.

[Pukin Dog]

I happen to know that Dueling Bozos skit by heart. Rush's impression of Senator Hollings is priceless.

[MNJohnnie]

Amazing how the "kick the foreigners out of our ports" crowd never seem to grasp their investment HERE is a way of getting the money WE spend to buy oil, goods etc, back! They can just as well go buy EU or Asian goods instead.

[rodguy911]

No problem EC have a round for me, I'm gonna have lunch.

[Morgan in Denver]

Sorry for the delay. For whatever reason my computer beeped and went off. Had to reboot and am getting back up to speed.

Yes, enjoy FNS if you can. And yes, we're looking forward to 24. But PLEASE don't start on the Sopranos. Never seen one and have no plans to watch one in the future no matter how great you think it is.

TRIAGNULATION

try saying that out loud (as written) three times fast.

You'll choke.  It's better than strategery or misunderestimated. I nearly died.  LOL

This may be up there with hugh and series!

[Beagle8U]

I mostly watch Special report with Brit Hume at 6pm.

Sometimes I will watch O'Reilly, and John Gibson at 5pm is good most times.

I also like Cavuoto at 4pm for stock/market news.

I don't watch Schlep Smith or Gretta VanFacelift, therefor I still like Fox news.

**Your results may vary.

[rodguy911]

Another great post here.
