And this is a NOT to be missed thread:

Well, Andrea, did you not have your coffee this morning. She can hardly seem to spit out her leading questions.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I've been out of the loop for a while. What's all the controversy about the shuttle launch? Wallace is really beating up on Michael Griffin from NASA.

[Mo1]

Trudy says she has to write so much negitive news about Iraq because of all the mistakes this administration has made

[Bahbah]

There is a rumor (only rumor) that Mrs. Greenspan is on her way out.

I had trouble listening to her given that wierd fleshy thing on her neck that kept bouncing up and down when she talked.

[anita]

Thanks for the link.

[Mo1]

She's also hard to listen to because every sentence comes out as a whine. Wouldn't you hate to be stuck with her for any period of time?

Yes

[commonguymd]

That is quite dangerous, disturbing and offensive. Showing the homes and describing where they are at so the terrorists can find them. This Administration is at war with the NYT and doesn't even know it. I think all these clowns just got invited up to the White house for a state dinner. Heck, one got a pulitzer for publishing treason.

Of course, nothing will be done. The world is quite upside down. Have I stepped into Sienfeld's bizzaro world?

[rodguy911]

Good one maica, it's a lot easier to get a fair trial for those little misunderstood terror types if they are dead.

[Bahbah]

Between Schumer and McConnell, McConnell got to say almost nothing, so, if they do have an actual Republican on the show, they won't let him talk.

[Morgan in Denver]

I finally had to turn her off and go back to FNC. She is SO sanctimonious that it was too hard to watch. She represents what Dr. Sowell calls "the anointed class." People like this should not be reporting, they belong with their special interest groups on the left.

[snugs]

How about this?

[rodguy911]

Last week there was link to Murtha's purple heart possibly being just a scratch to his face. Would not surprise me at all. May be one reason the swifties are not too thrilled by the senile old fool.

[OldFriend]

Someone from the shuttle group quit because he felt it was not safe. I haven't been following exactly who said what and when.

[kabar]

One point of clarification re your misleading title of the article: "Swiftboat Veterans to target Rep. John Murtha." The SWVFT are not targetting Murtha, but rather, some of the supporters of the SBVFT. I am sure that John O'Neill and his Swift boat vets are not participating in this effort. Murtha would like to make that connection, but it doesn't exist.

[Phsstpok]

Hard to figure Specter. He rushes to the first microphone, makes a complete a$$ of himself and then nothing ever comes of his hyper assaults on the admnistration.

Bottom line, he gets the nominees thru his committee and out for a vote from the full senate.

He doesn't get enough of them through.  Several good nominees have never gotten hearings, even after years of waiting.  Several who had waited for more than a year have dropped out (in order to earn a living, in part).  Currently there are 45 vacancies and 24 pending nominations, at least two of them go back to 2005 and several are months old.  Check out ConfirmThem.COM and their link to the current court vacancies and nominations.

The best thing that can be said about him is that 100 years from now no one will know he ever existed.  If history bothers to take notice it will define him by the magic bullet nonsense from the Kennedy Assassination investigation, which brought him his fame, and his "Scottish Law" vote in favor of Clinton in the impeachment trial, which condemned him to the ash heap of mediocrity he so deserves.  (me, bitter? what would make you think that?)

[snugs]

Absolutely but I suspect hell would have to freeze over before he gave one.

[anita]

Wallace is upset because Cheney went there & NASCAR race where he was greeted with loud cheers.(Bill Clinton got booed at a NASCAR race.)

[OldFriend]

SO glad I don't watch the shows. I only get them here on FR.

Is that thing bobbing on Andrea's neck kind of like that black line running down Pelosi's face one day, or that eyebrow thingee on the dem who gave the rebutal of the SOTU

[Morgan in Denver]

Works for me if it's okay with them. I think AB should use it as desired.

I just hope lurkers and new visitors will understand.
