We've heard from Lindsay Graham, John McCain, Carl Levin, Joe Biden, Chuck Hagel, and Chuck Schumer far too many times.

They probably have their own dressing rooms at the MSM studios.

[Bahbah]

Did you watch the Mancow special?

It simply is not my thing. Opted for HGTV.

[Alas Babylon!]

I agree. We all complained about the Macaca kerfufela, the "deer head in the black's mailbox", the N-word he said, she said and a whole bunch of lies, smears and innuendo.

By the time all that came out, it appeared to many that Allen was a victim of dirty tricks and gained him a lot of sympathy. Allen was showing momentum in the polls at this point, and was slightly widening his lead over Webb. When his campaign brought out the porno book nonsense, it then appeared that dirty trick-wise, Allen was no different from Webb, and hurt him. You could watch the polls start to swing the other way.

I don't know how Wallace's ratings compare with the Tony Snow era. Not much different, I'd guess.

Tony Snow was getting 1.85 million. Wallace's is reduced to 1.2 million.

[johnny7]

He appears to be radioactive.

Like the kid who sh*t his pants in kindergarten...

[Bahbah]

Timmy wants to know Tester's plan t bring the troops home. He wants to visit with our allies, i.e., he has no plan.

[anita]

Thanks Morgan, Bahbah. My pleasure.

[Bahbah]

Timmy asks if it is fair to say that neither Bush nor the dems have a plan. (What a ridiculous statement, re the President anyway).

[rodguy911]

Wow you have so much good stuff there I don't know where to begin!
The nyt should be sued forever for what they have done, great pick. I read the Al Jazerra thing and saw some point counter points on it they are brazen as hell no doubt.

As for Beck being number on cable that of course is due to him being on Rush's show for numerous minutes and Rush touting the show as a must see.
All but made it number one before it ever ran'and it was an excellent piece on what the real true terror types are all about,it was an expose of the stuff "Al Jazerra lite"--the msm/dbm will never show.

UNFREAKIN UNBELIEVABLE.

While getting ready for church, I was clicking past CNN to get to Fox and Friends Sunday to catch up on the latest news.

Within the 20 seconds, the CNN Anchorette reported the "news" that the GOP would likely work vigorously to block "big tax breaks to big oil companies" ...

and that President Bush was "embarassed" to be seen posing in the colored gowns with the Vietnamese delegation.

What slanted bullcrap.

[Bahbah]

Webb thinks agreement among the countries in the region can be achieved through diplomacy. What if chaos ensues, asks Timmy. Webb says the US acting unilaterally creates the problem.

[samantha]

Well the only reason that Fox won the ratings war was the Conservative viewer ship. Fox will not win on this one, as soon as all the Conservatives figure out that they are not fair and balance, they will no longer be winning the Ratings war. If they look just like the DBM/DNC they will lose almost all of the Pubbie/Conservative viewers. Why would lefties tune into Fox if they get the same Communistic Propaganda on CNN and the Alphabets? No brainer Mr. Ailes, Mr Murdoch!!!

[maryz]

I'd ask him about his part in the 17 Billion Dollar (and growing) Big Dig scam,

"The tunnel will be a bargain!" -- immortal words of John F'n Kerry (a/k/a Jon Carry) re the Big Dig.

[anita]

Timmy wants to know Tester's plan t bring the troops home.

I am not sure how these media types want us to believe a single or bunch of senators could just bring troops home.

Atleast, they should have listened Cheney.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Wallace is giving Lurch a campaign platform.

[Bahbah]

My take so far: Webb appears to be ready for prime time (whatever you think of his opinions), but Tester is not (and is not likely ever to be). Timmy is bringing up the possible feud between Gates and Webb. Webb says he'd like to hear from him and have a vote, but does not accept the invitation to go off on Gates.

[maryz]

We've heard from Lindsay Graham, John McCain, Carl Levin, Joe Biden, Chuck Hagel, and Chuck Schumer far too many times.

Once was too many for any of them, for my money!

[TomGuy]

Gotta hand it to Chris Wallace on FNS. He has Kerry dancing all around the joke issue.

Kerry just cannot bring himself to full disclosure. He is doing the fancy-foot dipsy-doodle politician two-step with ease and agility.

[mainepatsfan]

Forget term limits....we need limits on Sunday talk show appearances.

[Bahbah]

Note to all: the MSM wants the Office of Public Integrity that Lieberman is pushing. I didn't like it before. Now I really don't want it.
