[Bahbah]

Rahm Emmanuel makes Tom Reynolds physically uncomfortable. Really, watch. By the way, I didn't know anything about Reynolds. He is no dummy. Oh Timmy is surprised Chafee is "distancing" himself from Bush.

[CaptSkip]

Rather says Saddam is not dead yet, could likely do a deal and end up in Jordan, Saddam's a survivor.

[Fury]

An utterly stupid question from Russert - "Why is President Bush campaigning in traditionally Republican states?"

[Bahbah]

Liddy is very into preparation. She is prepared today. Good for you, Liddy. Tim continually interrupts her.

[Clara Lou]

He reminded us that Saddam is not dead yet.
That Dan--he's just full of valuable insights, isn't he? And praying to the bitter end for Bush to be foiled in any way possible.

[Morgan in Denver]

Good morning snugs. Got this yesterday and thought you'd enjoy it if you have not seen it yet.

---

An American tourist in London decides to skip his tour group and explore the city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, and occasionally stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the lads, and have a pint of Guinness.

After awhile, he finds himself in a very high class neighborhood.....big, stately residences... no pubs, no stores, no restaurants, and worst of all... NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS.

He really, really has to go, after all those Guinness’s.

He finds a narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings and decides to use the wall to solve his problem.

As he is unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobby, who says, "I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know."

"I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really, really HAVE TO GO, and I just can't find a public restroom."

"Ah, yes," said the Bobby..."Just follow me".

He leads him to a back "delivery alley", then along a wall to a gate, which he opens.

"In there," points the Bobby. "Whiz away sir, anywhere you want."

The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has ever seen. It has manicured grass lawns, a statuary, fountains, sculpted hedges, and huge beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom.

Since he has the cop's blessing, he unburdens himself and is greatly relieved.

As he goes back through the gate, he says to the Bobby,” That was really decent of you... is that what you call 'English Hospitality'?"

"No, sir" replies the Bobby, "that is what we call the French Embassy."

On FNC Rather's cell phone starts to ring ... Mary Mapes? LOL

[Bahbah]

Liddy is reading Mark Kennedy's ad. GO, LIDDY!!!

[maica]

If Democrats win, and Speaker Dennis Hastert is forced to hand the gavel to Pelosi, "I'll receive it, in my view, from the hands of special interests on behalf of America's future."

Democrats have to constantly change the meanings of words in order to spin their lies.

Example:
"Special Interests" now means Republican voters and supporters.
"America's future", which last week was "America's children", means Democrats.

[A Citizen Reporter]

An utterly stupid question from Russert -"Why is President Bush campaigning in traditionally Republican states?"

Does that include Missouri, Mr. Potato-head?

You news folks always tell us that Missouri is the bell-weather, and you've already given the senate seat to McCaskill.

[Seattle Conservative]

RCP has Reynolds up 3-5 over the last few polls.

Russert is being so dang rude to Liddy, while kissing Chuckie's backside.

Russert shows Chafee and McGavick's ads about 'distancing' themselves from the Pres. He doesn't understand they are playing to the local libs and need to do so to win. BTW - I'm suprised about Chaffee's latest #s - according to their poll he's really moved up. I'd rather have Santorum than Linc but I'll take him if it helps us keep the Senate

[snugs]

[Fury]

Russert asks Schumer about Tester and his views of opposing gay marriage, not high of Senator Clinton, etc. Schumer discusses what the central issue is - Americans want change - period.

Schumer calls the Democrat party a "big tent"...

[EnquiringMind]

Wow, she is really kicking some butt this a.m.!!! She gets her point across no matter how Russert tries to shut her up.

[A Citizen Reporter]

LOL, next week F & F has booked Jon Carry, as an expert on joke telling.

[maggief]

Rather ducks CBS/National Guard question.

[sarasota]

Good Lord, there is a Dan Rather Reports coming up on 11.14. And he's on the Daley Show Tuesday evening.

[CaptSkip]

Rather says to detractors, you go to Saddam, interview him face to face, then you can come to me and complain.

I think Dan and Saddam have a relationship like Hitler and Saddam in South Park.

[Chuck54]

Liddy is very into preparation. She is prepared today

This is very good news after her dismal performance last Sunday. I have the show TVO'd and will check her performance later.

At the moment I am enthralled watching Howie Dean on Stephies show. Sadaam sentenced to die but America not safer, blah, blah, blah.

[LibLieSlayer]

murdoch has ordered ailes to reform Fox into a dim operation. They dumped Brit's wife and I expect Brit to leave in '07. Kiss Fox goodbye... it's a goner.
