Most likely............. but not of the same ilk.
I was hopeing to see Newt & Rick Santorum run
Exactly!
OMG, if you have high blood pressure, skip the Friedman/Brooks segment on MTP. Brooks on Obama: you can see people in the crowd leaning toward him, thirsting...OMG.
I thought that his dad was a huge JFK fan
I know,, but listen - Newt is not a good candidate - he does not have the temper to run for President - and he knows it.
Newt's value is ideas - he as much as said so this morning.
He went to the conservative talk shows because he knew that's where the numbers were.
Why go on a "liberal" show and talk to a few thousand when you can go on a "conservative" talk show and talk to millions.
. Just toooo good!
Some thoughts along the theme of your nuggets today --
I just finished the (talking) book BIAS, by Bernard Goldberg, listening to books in lieu of talk radio these days.
He was made a pariah for 'whistle-blowing' his own fraternity - 'news' gatherers and disseminators, who live to do whistle-blowing stories on other industries and agencies, but cannot tolerate it in their own house.
He documents how the members of "MSM" always identify a conservative person or think tank, but never if the organization or person is leftwing. If fact, for years radicalrightwing was treated as one word. This is not news to us of course, I only bring it up to ask everyone to try an experiment.
When we are in dialogue with someone who denies the bias of "MSM" we need to ask them to name some groups that are to the left of the "MSM" I think the first, and possibly only reaction will be a blank stare of confusion.
Goldberg never mentions this tactic in his book, but years have passed since he went up against his peers with his charge of bias. A lot more has been spoken about it. Yet we continue to accept that right-wing is the opposite of mainstream, and as Bernie said "the only left wing that a liberal knows is on an airplane.
OMG, MTP Brooks and Friedman actually despise, I mean truly despise Rumsfeld.
What a couple of loons.
I have watched Beck a few times - I just forget what time his show is on here ( I think opposite Shep - when I turn the tv off).
Lucky duck, we don't get it until 6:00 PM Eastern.
Well sounds like Newt is the next Karl Rove
Good analogy - although I think Carl Rove is more a political ideas man and less a policy man.
No smackdown today; Worcester, the guy who puts the wreaths on the graves at Arlington, is the power player of the week. Great final segment on FNS today.
MTP had the obligatory segment on how the media is not to blame for the "mess" in Iraq. I guess some people still believe this, but when you started yelling "quagmire" 24 hours into the Afganistan war, your credibility is pretty low.
Sen. Kennedy speaks...on FNS. I'll try to keep my breakfast down....
And we are. Last month, it was reported (but never said by the DBM) that over 5900 terrorists were killed in Iraq.
&&&&&
I heard President Bush say this, and never heard it again, as you wrote. Obviously, the press cannot report the President's own words because that would be "right-wing" bias.
