I wish I were. That's what I heard and read yesterday. I was a little surprised because I've always thought of Turley as practicing 'constitutional law' (that's the way he's often introduced anyway).
The media does it's best to paint with a broad brush that they're all bad news, when it's the dems with all the evil doing.
Let's keep our ears open, I believe President Bush has invited talk show host to do their shows one day this week from the White House, something he's done before.
Oh great. I'm sure they'll make Bella Pelosi look like such a wonderful, kind person - - Mother, Grandmother, Catholic and all that - - think I'll skip it.
"why would he HIDE his Muslim roots and schooling and trumpet his Catholic schooling?"
Not totally sure, but maybe it's the same reason he doesn't use his middle name - -- Hussein.
I'm looking forward to that one too. Watch for lil Timmah and Cardin to try to spring some surprise on Steele. Scour the DBM for stories with rumors of bad behavior by Steele of some sort in the late part of this coming week. Timmah will need something to point to as the source for a nasty question. Cardin will have some focus group tested sound bite all ready to go. They may even ask Cardin about some rumored accusation against Steele to let him get in the first shot.
How is Steele in toe to toe fighting?
I'm going to be sending it to quite a few people I know, too!
I did not realise you had family in Israel are they recent immigrants or have they been there many years?
A few years ago my German agent married an Israeli girl and went to live there I always thought she was strange and wondered if he would be accepted long term out there.
Sometimes I am glad I too have experienced those 6 decades as well but fear for my family that hasn't.
I guess that we take so many things for granted in the US that the mentality of "it could never happen here" just overwhelms some to the point of caving into near anything.
Not I.
I have traveled and seen what tyranny can bring, I want no part of it.
Not since Richard Jewell. If the police want to question me about almost anything serious I'm going to have a lawyer from minute one.
It wouldn't surprise me - she answered the questions in a somewhat monotone manner IMHO (guess she's been told to keep her shrillness down). I thought Spencer was great!
Sometimes I wish President Bush would listen to the talk show hosts, especially Rush and have a person to monitor FR on a daily basis. I'm not happy with the border issue by any means.
I'm sure Press Sec. Tony Snow still lurks here when he has time, but I'd bet the CiC would get a better idea what the base of the party wants and change policy accordingly.
What did he buy with the 49$?
Wait. I don't want to know, do I? <g>
(and, yes, I realize it's probably supposed to be 49%)
Don't you know, all Israeli's are strange.
How can Timmah appear racist no matter what he says? Steele's a Republican. Therefore he has to be white. Everybody knows that.
You can bet lil Timmah won't ask Cardin about his staff making anti-black anti-Semetic comments or this:
There's a Pierre Cardin fake, but a Ben Cardin fake?

There's a Pierre Cardin fake, but a Ben Cardin fake?
Original (?) Pierre Cardin watch According to Pajamas Medias’ Washington Editor Richard Miniter, Democratic senatorial candidate from Maryland Benjamin Cardin has been playing fast and loose with the “fine art” of political advertising. A supposedly verité Cardin commercial purporting to show “average Joes and Janes” across his state supporting the Cardin candidacy is actually populated by his own campaign workers playing roles. (Note to campaign workers: sign a Screen Actors Guild contract and you will get residuals.)

Benjamin Cardin, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat open in Maryland, apparently paid campaign staffers to pose as students, workers and other “real people” in a campaign advertisement.
In contrast with other commercials, it is considered unethical to fail to identify paid spokesmen or to have them pose as random members of the public in political advertisements.
Cardin’s campaign did not disclose the links between these “real people” and his campaign.
In Cardin’s ad, a number of Marylanders endorse Cardin. Ashley Peddicord, apparently a college student, says “Thanks to Ben, I can afford college.” In reality, Peddicord works for the campaign. Her campaign email is: Ashley@bencardin.com.
Kelton Anderson, posing as an ordinary working man, is in fact a high-ranking official with United Auto Workers union, which has endorsed Cardin. The UAW gave $9,258,308 during 2006 election season, virtually all of it to Democrats, according to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics. Cardin
And there’s Carl Tuvin, who tells the camera “And he’s fighting for better health care.” What he does not say is that he is a paid Democratic party organizer, who has long worked with Cardin.
“These revelations demonstrate that Ben Cardin has not been honest with the voters of Maryland. If he can’t be honest about having real people as supporters, what else is he lying about?” said Doug Heye, spokesman for Michael Steele, the Republican candidate for Maryland’s U.S. Senate seat. “After 20 years in Congress, you would think he would have some actual real people who support him.”
Oren Shur, Cardin’s spokesman, repeatedly failed to respond to inquiries.
Cardin’s ad has aired 174 times in the Washington and Baltimore television markets and cost the Cardin campaign $162,000 so far, according to the Campaign Media Analysis Group. Campaign Media Analysis Group is the leading provider of television advertising tracking data to trade associations, Fortune 100 firms, broadcast networks, and hundreds of national, state and local political campaigns. This is not the first time the Cardin campaign has been faulted. One campaign workers, Ursula Gruber, was fired for making anti-black and anti-Semitic comments on her private blog. In addition, two staffers at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee were caught stealing Steele’s credit report. They were promptly fired and later faced criminal charges.
