I only knew about the Tampa incident because of FR.........

I like your thinking, Biden,Hagel,Mccain,Schumer,etc seem like what they call Susan Estrich on Fox. She is called a fox news Consultant and is paid something, Biden,McHagel,etc should be called a Meet the Press, or This Week, or fill in the blank Consultant they are on so much.

They are paid by being given face time and soft ball questions.  It is literally millions of dollars in "in kind" contributions to their political campaigns.  McCain recognized this early on and turned these shows and the Washington MSM crowd into his core constituency and it almost got him the Republican nomination in 2000.

Of course it's total bull... it's politics.

Great post, stay on this. This was a framejob from the beginning and the witnesses families are likely being threatened by the real murderers.

The enemy knows how to feed the Stone-age Press and the Stone-age press knows how to manipulate the news. This is a convergence of evil.

Actually, the media makes up facts to support their positions on any given issue.

Truth is the last thing to be considered when creating news.

Thanks as always, AB

albore would appoint the head of Goldman Sachs to be head of the EPA?????????????

[samantha]

#176, great catch Buffalo butt is rally slipping. Maybe he needs a shot of testosterone to improve his memory, he seems to have a lot of hair left. LOL! I hope they keep pushing Algore because we have more tape/film on Algore acting and looking totally insane than we have tape and Audio of Hillary sounding and looking like Nurse Ratched or that character that Knee capped James Cann.

God help me, I was flipping PAST MTP for 5seconds, and just caught enough to hear that jerkoff Blix say that Iran and North Korea having a nuke is just as dangerous as Israel, or the UK, or the US having it.

Then he wouldn't mind them moving the UN Debating Society to North Korea, would he?

Let me live long enough to see that building imploded!

[OldFriend]

Nice to see you this morning FRiend!

[Phsstpok]

We have become like the old Pravda watchers...you have to figure out what's going on by seeing who is NOT present on the shows and reading subtle signs, much like tea leaves.

Here's a clear sign that we missed, lo those many years ago...

A young Hillary and Bill Clinton being displayed as future leaders of the great revolution by their mentor, Uncle Joe.

(to trolls from DU and the MSM, that's a joke)

Reich points out that there was a turning point that occurred with My Lai.

The real turning point happened 2 years later when we found out about the killing fields that resulted from our listening to the America hating traitors in the Stone-age Press. Never Again!

This issue (restored voting rights) figured significantly into Washington States 2004 election debacle. In Washington state (like many states) upon completion of all sentence conditions a felon may apply for restoration of voting rights, but voting rights are not automatically restored.

An estimated 754 ineligible felons voted in the election, a number that greatly exceeds the margin of "victory" for the eventual "winner", Christine Gregoire (D). It wasn't the only sticking point in the upset, but represented just another tactic that Dims exploited to wrest the race from the true winner.

The Dhimmicrats tried like heck to leverage this issue into one of the Republican Voter Denial Machine. It (thankfully) didn't resonate with the electorate, although the squishy libs still want to enact an automatic process.

I have no problem with anyone voting - as long as they do it legally!

Gore flaunts Greenland/Antartic ice melt but ignores increased snow pack there, and prior melts in Greenland (hence its name). And haven't we determined that this much oil could not possibly be created by dead dinsosaurs and therefore 'fossil fuels' is incorrect. Oil is a byproduct of the forces in our earth's core and is virtually limitless.

I have come to the conclusion that we can stop the spread of Islam, and eliminate terrorism, by separating the middle east from their oil revenues. That might mean getting off the oil standard, or developing our own oil so that the ME no longer has a source for their riches. FWIW

Really interesting FNS round table today. It was better than many others we've seen in the past. Instead of only assigning blame they tended to analyze events from their perspective on issues.

Susan Page and Juan Williams, both, admitted the Democrats want to win so bad that it effects everything they are saying or claiming to stand for. The clear implication is "say anything as long as you win" mentality within the Democrat party. By extension, I hope it will be obvious Democrats cannot be relied upon for truthful leadership. They also admitted, in a round about way, that Iraq is a political issue to be used to win upcoming elections. No mention of the war on terror to be a real war or serious issue today. That omission alone is worth noting.

On Iran, all made comments based on their political persuasion and philosophy, which was interesting because is shows how the left and right see the same set of facts but draw different conclusions, as well as what is important and what is not. Kristol was even good as he showed what the Neocon goals are and Williams was okay as he talked about how this is being used for US politics, as opposed to finding a longterm solution.

I think that murtha is being held in a padded room this weekend.

He needs to be. The guy is a traitor. He is the worst kind of legislator we can have, an ex-Marine who held himself out to be the saving grace for the country when in reality he is waving the flag merely to save his sorry ass on top of 2,400 graves of our finest soldiers, who gave it all for their country! Here is a little background on the traitor, AKA murtha.

Some time ago the American Spectator published an interesting piece on Mr. murtha at:

http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?_id=9359

The article, by David Holman, points out how few stories have been run in the Wash. Post about Murtha and how many about Tom Delay once more showing the double standard imposed by the drive-bys with close to 200 articles written about Abramoff/Delay vs. a "dozen or so mentions of Kit Murtha Robert c. Murtha or Robert Murtha in 15 years" accd. to Holman.

Kit of course is the brother of John Murtha who has had 20 million bucks lobbed his way to fellow clients by brother John and ethics investigators are "hot on the trail"(but not really) but you would never know it by reading the msm.

In the same piece Holman points out how the Hill reported that john murtha is the top house recipient of campaign contributions from the defense industry for the past three years sucking up about 200 k from his buddies in the defense industry.

Indicating that Murtha's corruption is not a new thing he is also an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Abscam Scandal, a sting operation in the late 70's in which one senator and five reps were convicted of bribery and conspiracy. Murtha was videotaped telling an undercover FBI agent "I'm not interested. I'm sorry at this point"(who knows what he would have done later) when a house ethics committee cleared Murtha(only due to a a 6-6 tie on straight party lines after heavy lobbying by a fellow dem who later had second thoughts) it's reported the committees lead counsel, E Barret Prettyman Jr. quickly resigned. When asked by Roll Call if he had resigned because of the committees Murtha vote he said "that would be a logical conclusion." Prettyman has otherwise declined to comment on the Murtha case.

Then there is even more about the Abscam escape from prosecution here:

http://www.cnsnews.com/viewPolitics.asp?page=%5CPolitics%5Carchive%5C200601%5...

Another interesting aspect about Murtha's checkered career is his reluctance to release his full military records, what can he be hiding, we will never know.

In analyzing Murtha's current stance on why we should pull out of Iraq I come to the conclusion,from these links and about 20 or 30 other I have read, that Murtha could care less about Iraq. His entire Iraq ruse is simply designed to give him cover for possible prosecution or investigations on numerous fronts including defense contracts allocations, and possible criminal charges dating back as far as the abscam scandal.

In good old Clintonista fasihion Murtha has concocted a defense strategy(who knows possibly with a willing legal counsel as well)that says if you go after me on anything I will simply cry bias because of my stance on the war. Pretty slick, but it won't fly.

In other words Murtha is just a sleezy crook--clinton/ style who has built up a huge defense based on anti-war machinations that probably don't even exist.

He's a fraud and in doing it the way he has done he has also become a traitor to his country selling out the noble efforts and huge accomplishments of our troops in a time of war.

EXXon-Mobil's CEO's excessive retirement package (not unlike some big media stars like Uncle Walter Cronkite or Tom Brokjaw)

Let's not forget the what? 500 million that the great contributer to American culture Howard Stern got.

Never heard the rats complaining about that.

[Bernard]

and Saddam would still be in power today

I don't suppose Mr. Blix speculated as to how many Iraqi lives would have been saved under that scenario, did he?

[Alas Babylon!]

Anyone want to discuss the amount of money couric will be earning to sissify the evening news?

Actually, I don't mind seeing SeeBS pi$$ing away their money for her. Their ratings will climb, at first, as the curious will watch, but will taper off back to the third place status they've been these last few years. Meanwhile, the MSM will still be taking it on the chin from the new media.

As bandwidth increases and computers get more powerful, it will only be a matter of time before we get streaming blog-TV on the internet. All you need is a camera and a big pipe. I'm working on it! Anyway, just so you all know, I get to do the Sunday Morning streaming video show review. You're all invited on as action reporters and super-pundits!

[Phsstpok]

It is beyond my comprehension how this fool could possibly think he has a snowball's chance in hell of ever winning a presidential election.

He's a Democrat.  Think of the last several moonbats they've nominated.  They specialize in nominating losers and then come close to winning based on their built in 15% advantage granted them by the drive by media who do their level best to promote the left. They got away with it in the 90s.  Why change now?  Biden has all the necessary qualifications to be the Democrat nominee for President.

• He's in love with the sound of his own voice
• He talks a lot but never says anything (at least nothing coherent)
• He will say whatever the polls tell him to say and has the ability to ignore everything he ever said that contradicts his new position
• He hates Republicans, particularly George W. Bush
• He's loved by the drive by media
