A polster asked me which I would vote for....Hillary or McCain. When I shouted "NEITHER", I don't know if they had that category for the poll or not. LOL

[HonestConservative]

Yes, I appreciate your observations. Sometimes, you'd rather be wrong which is why I have continued to watch just to confirm. But at this rate, they'll soon be history to me.

Wouldn't it be great if Michael Barone was on Fox more often?

[mainepatsfan]

Let's send him some forged documents. Worth a shot.

[Morgan in Denver]

Now, THAT's funny!

Murtha: He (Rove) is sitting on "his big fat backside".

He obviously has not been paying much attention to Rove lately or he would have noticed he has lost a lot of weight making that statement ridulous, well more ridulous.

Exactly!

I think my freeper friends have been training my ears over time to pick things up that perhaps in the past I would not have caught. I don't know if that's good or bad. Sometimes it might be nice to blissfully ignorant.

Much to the chagrine of many politicians, that is true. And the Internet allows us to get more than the previously finely-filtered 'news' they wanted us to hear. We can now get the raw data and draw our own conclusions.

Many politicians with your last sentence were still true -- Sometimes it might be nice to blissfully ignorant.

Recall that Hillary pined for an internet gate-keeper years ago, and just this week she took a stance for a 'privacy czar' to protect the little people, of course.

[That is the scariest thing I've heard in a long time --- Clinton proposing a 'privacy czar'. Imagine Hillary Clinton of the 900-FBI-Files fame setting up a 'privacy czar'. Does anyone think she is that concerned about 'the little people'?]

I live in a 9-1 Democrat zip code, so my answers are probably not what they were looking for, in the "weighting".

[Carolinamom]

Am I the only one who thinks that John Podesta and Anderson Cooper are prime candidates for separated at birth pictures?

Serious contender for First Prize this week!

Russert was saying that Bush's Iraq visit was nothing but photo-op.

For a soldier in Iraq, it was a great opportunity to have photographed with Bush and proudly showing it to others.

[defconw]

LOL! Probably never occurred to them that we are not going to let that happen.

[Peach]

That freeper who talked about the Iraq/AQ connections is writing a book about this matter, has spoken about this at college campuses and was on California radio yesterday. He's filed FOIA with the Pentagon to get information and I've been impressed with his reporting. Very impressed.

[Carolinamom]

One reporter accompanying President Bush to Iraqi said that Bush was "treated like a rock star" by the troops and Iraqis. WooHoo!

[altura]

Russert has no shame, and how long will it be before he has no audience. Didn't he lose to Face the Nation last week?

[Bahbah]

Let's send him some forged documents. Worth a shot.

LOL. I'm holding on to a faint hope for an indictment in the Plame non-case.

[defconw]

That would make sense, where I live you can't throw a rock without hitting a Republican, which is probably why they don't call me.

[Morgan in Denver]

Opinion polls are the only things Democrats have going for them. With no plan and no core beliefs, they have to use what they can find to support them.

Murtha said on the floor of the Senate the other day that he pushed Clinton to leave Somalia after the Black Hawk Down incident.

Thanks a lot Murtha. You directly gave Osama bin Laden the guts to think he could attack America and we wouldn't respond.

This is the simple fact that we must use to destroy this clown.  He, personally, contributed to Osama bin Laden deciding that he could attack the US on 9/11 and get away with it.  The man is the living embodiment of the "useful idiot" our enemies count on to defeat us from within.  I'm sending a note to Rush, John Gibson, Brit and a few others in the new media along with a note to my congresswoman.

Did Timmah, by chance, mention the New Republic Media Blog item that captured his comment about Somalia on CNN on Friday?   I sent him a note with the links on the "what would you like to ask our guest" web page.

We need to challenge this traitor to defend his position, particularly in light of what happened in Somalia and what resulted from our retreat there.  Him saying something like this is why they've kept him off of the shows for weeks, trying to use their control of the sound bites on the drive by media to pick and choose the 10 to 15 words out of every 10,000 he says that don't boomerang immediately on them.  I think they thought that the Ann Coulter "fragging" comment would make him bulletproof for this weeks shows.  I think they failed.

Tim doesn't come on for a few more minutes here.  Have they mentioned Ann?

[DTogo]

Brit nails it, the DNC leadership is highly frustrated over William Jefferson (D) La.
