"The folks will see through it in a heartbeat."
I hope you are correct, but I'm not so sure that's the case. Oprah had him on for 1 hour (I didn't watch) and apparently was all gaga over him and said she support him and vote for him for Pres.
He's been hailed as a 'rock star' by the media and has been campaigning all over for other Dims.
Is he an empty suit and green - yes! Will that matter to the Dims - no! He was probably hand-picked by the Klintoons and they're grooming him to be Hitlery's VP candidate to help get young, black and/or women votes. Don't ask me why people (especially women) are 'swooning' over him. He does absolutely nothing for me.
It's *interesting* that he released his book right before the election - - sure is getting a lot of face time on TV (I bet Woodie is deeply saddened and troubled). In his book, "The Audacity of Hope", he said something to the effect that DC and/or politics has become too partisan and both sides need to come together (think he may have also said he wanted to make that happen, but not sure). Well, Senator, President Bush said that when he was running in 2000 and has tried to make that happen and all he gets is stabbed in the back by the disgraceful people in your party like The Swimmer, Leaky Leahy, Botox Babs, Stretch Pelosi, Dingy Harry, etc., etc.
They ALWAYS invite the wishy-washy members of the GOP for "balance." The only time we get someone good is when the President or Veep ask for air time, and then look how Stephy is going to allow Kerry to rebut the President.
Obama needs to come clean about his Muslim indoctrination. Obama's Senate voting record indicates that he is voting the interests of Bin Laden, not America.
Don't forget Mitch McConnell.
I think he eats nails for breakfast!
I am with ya!
He does nothing for me either....
Nothing "manly" about him. NOTHING!
Great point. What a good comeback, asking a critic if they saw the movie Paht to 911?
I hope that someone in production of these Sunday shows checks this thread to see what guests, comments, segments, etc cause us to react.
FNS almost no comments today!
Well .. since the Dems are pushing for Obama .. it's time to start some bookmarks for future reference
here's one

Absolutely I like my men to be men
I get the feeling that very few of us are even watching. There really is no need. I wish they would get some really intelligent people to talk about the issues.
Ala 'walking-coma' Lugar?
You did a great job reporting about the Matthews Show.
I see he's back to working "the poor" into his pitch for the Dems. When he started out on tv he had these mawkish little tales of "the little guy" delivered with a solemnity that induced hysterical laughter, particularly in those for whom recognizing a fraud was a professional necessity.
The stories usually involved Matthews, the innocent novice, asking an authority on "the little guy" about some quaint custom practised by this lovable though impoverished segment of the population. Matthews' own background while respectable, was not such that he would need to ask others about the struggles of the underpriveleged.
One story, often repeated, was of him him questioning a member of the capitol hill police force about why poor people always flew the American flag, a not noticeable phenomenon but it suited Matthews' purpose of appearing to be sympathetic to a class he had dedicated all his energies to fleeing. Matthews always slipped a half-stifled sob into his rendition of the cop's response: They fly the flag, Chris, (swallow, gaze stage left, full-face for the finale) because that's all they have."
None of Matthews' "little guy" stories exceeded in bathos and sheer hypocrisy the maunderings of his former boss, Tip O'Neil, Boston Irish congressman and briefly, House Speaker.
That is, if Matthews can be believed. Tip was a realist and did not idealize those whose votes could be bought for a pint of cheap whiskey, or the promise of a "job" on the Big Dig.
O'Neil was driven around in a black limo with blackened windows, presumably to spare him seeing the decaying slums owned by the Harvard (as in University) Corporation in which his constituents (or as the Irish pols called them "the muckas,") lived, prayed, drank and died, if his driver made a wrong turn on the way to the Tipster's Cape Cod digs.
Matthews has a nervous fascination with "the little guy;" his own economic rise in a country that affords even the least talented unlimited opportunity, seems not to have lessened his uneasiness, nor tempered his ugly, and possibly self- revealing assumptions about caste and class.
In his defense of John Kerry, a truly bizarre nonenity who married two very rich, very vulnerable women to get his hands on the accoutrements of wealth, Matthews accused the Swift Boat vets, all hard-working and in many cases, highly successful, of being "jealous of Kerry, because they didn't do as well as Kerry in life."
One could weep.
Thanks again, YaYa.
Thanks! I have it saved.

I have tried to turn on FNS several times. As a rule, that is the only one I watch. I have changed channels, or just flat turned it off three times. I will not listen to Levin, and hearing Warner just makes me wonder why he has any major committee chairmanship.
Morning everyone!
It's time we started putting it all together and letting the American voter realize just what is at stake here.
We have a war in which the opposition,the bad guys, terrorists,(oh excuse me insurrrrgents) have successfully sided with major elements of American society. Portions of the Democrat party and the media, CNN at the very least are now siding with the enemy in hopes of achieving political change here in this country.
This has been tried before and seemingly worked in Viet nam.It was wrong and traitorous then and is wrong and traitorous behavior now.!!
Media members that knowingly side with the enemy in times of war are no better than the terrorists themselves and IMHO are indeed traitors to the USA and should be treated as such!
They will get no pass from me, ever.As long as our fighting men and women are at risk in a foreign country 100% of our population should be siding with our fighting men and women. That's pretty basic,or should be.
Those who don't are traitors and should be dealt with accordingly. To elect traitors to congress in any form is as good as saying that our form of govt. is no good anymore. I for one do not believe that.
I plan on watching FNS. Biden and Levin can bloviate all they want, Lugar and Warner are over them and control those committees. Unless it's just more repetition, I want to know what Biden and Levin are now saying to do.
The kindest thing that I can say about mort is that I am very sorry that his wife passed away. He is a DC beltway, castroti, metrosexual doofus.
LLS
You and me both SP.
The DUmmies are already in total denial over the article.
My barometer of how accurate something is...is by watching the reaction of the left.
If they hate it...it's good for the rest of us.
