Thanks for that information; it's terribly disappointing that Olmert caved on that point.

[snugs]

Of course that is a given

[Timeout]

Asked for an example of his objections to the Patriot Act, Lamont replies: LIBRARIANS!

Not ready for prime time. Needs eyebrow-training, too.

[Boris99]

I sometimes enjoy the call in comments. Sort of real time letters to the editor. Yet the callers seem to be wackier and wackier of the Bush Lied!! Halliburton!! Rove caused 911 and Katrina!! variety.

[Chuck54]

Chris Wallace is grilling Lamont. Really giving him the Russert treatment, quoting all his statements and asking him to confirm or deny. Good job by Chris.

[Peach]

Oh, I forgot he was on!! I'm switching channels now.

[Fawn]

Living in Mexico!

Look for the MSM to persue this theory.

Already my very favorite, even-tempered, calm and collected pundit, Fox's Neil Gabler, mentioned that.

Oh sure, he was cool when he said it. Very unlike his foam-filled rant of a few weeks ago which set off my temper.

"It must be remembered that the only information on this terror plot we get from the GOVERNMENT," I paraphrase Mr. Gabler.

"Which is not to say the information isn't true," sweet Neil continued with an air of moderation. "It's just that the fact that this information came from the government should be reported along with that same information that the public understands this."

Okay, so yeah.

How about this Neil? How about when the AP and REuters et al, publish so-called action pics they mention that they were staged? How about when CNNMSNBCABCCBS reports the info Hezbollah hands out that THEY mention where they got the information?

Funny I never hear the handsome pundits say "This information comes from the Hezbollah PR team it must be cautioned".

Don't get me started on those liars. It's always so one-sided with them.

But I'm not done yet.

Where else on earth would information on a terrorism bust come from? It would be government investigators that know the details sooooooo it would be the government investigators providing the details.

If the Lamebrains gave it some thought they'd get a grip on reality. Because first thing they say..."this terrorism plot is all overplayed to give the admin some oomph."

If THAT were the case, why isn't the government uncovering some "terror plot" every damn week? Bush's poll numbers would be in the stratosphere.

How about during campaign 2004....how about right when Dan Rather was concocting his "fake but accurate" documents the admin comes up with some cool terror plot to scare the voters?

More....we've got people buying cell phones by the thousands, caught by the awful Wal-Mart people. Did the government set this up? Or hey, how about England, Pakistan, somehow Bush managed to orchestrate THEIR part in his grand terror plot fakes?

Common sense. The Gablers and left of the world don't have a lick of it.

[maica]

Lamont is definitely not ready for prime time. Good parrot of talking points, No understanding of global reality.

[Peach]

Lamont says he's a strong fiscal conservative and doesn't know if that breaks with traditional democrats or not.

Wallace: Poll shows Lieberman at 46% and Lamont at 41%.

Lamont thinks Lieberman should drop out of race for a unified party.

[snugs]

I thought that too :0) but decided to let it pass

[johnny7]

Simply put... OLMERT'S a disappointment.

[anita]

Did he ask him about his saying - "he knows nothing about blogs?"

[maica]

Connecticut has more unaffiliated voters than Dems or Republicans, so one could say that Lieberman now represents more Connecticut voters than either of his opponents. He is running for the Unaffiliated Party.

[Timeout]

I didn't see the entire Lamont segment.

Did Chris ask him about the blackface blog?

[Chuck54]

Did he ask him about his saying - "he knows nothing about blogs?"

No, he let that one slide. Wish he had though.

[chiller]

Agreed snugs. It does seem different this time, what with the rest of the Arab world having doubts about Iran and their Hesbo proxy. There seems to be a few less sympathizers, )even though plenty remain). And Reutersgate....and Bolton at the U.N.....and Kofi's blatent hate for Israel...and foiled terror plan.

At least I hope more of the world realizes who the bad guys are, and its not Israel.

[Timeout]

Lamont says he's a strong fiscal conservative...

Yes, and Chris failed to nail him by asking which programs he would "cut". Perhaps Lieberman will do the follow up...go get 'im, Joe!

[snugs]

I think it shows that in comparison with other Israeli leaders he does not fully understand the military implication of their situation. I think it is too simple just to say that is because he does not have a military background.

One can understand something without having first hand experience, I believe he just has a different concept of what Israel should do and unfortunately IMHO it has not worked on this occasion.
