I still have 15 of 16 stitches in my right eye and I have had to deal with that 16th stitch "attacking" me this week. You try to do this stuff and make deadline!!!!!!! ;^>

I'll post the Analysis and details on the Sundays shows ASAP.

Gabler has that permanent superior smirk. It requires the showing of teeth.

[altura]

We feel your pain.

Actually, we don't but ...

I really hope it heals up okay!

[Txsleuth]

Can you tell me what you meant about a sex scandal with Brit??

[altura]

Sex scandal against who??? Or is that whom?

Oh, who cares, just dish the dirt.

[Barset]

"...We are grateful when and if it shows up. So TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF."

Amen. Thanks phsstpok. You too, Bah; still following your comments on Morning Talk thread.

[altura]

I think he's gone, TX, but he has a link to the scandal rumor on the Fox News Sunday article.

I don't believe it's true, but who knows? I really admire Brit and hope it's just an ugly rumor.

[Txsleuth]

Thanks, I will go check it out.

[dmw]

Just gossip, but interesting to say the least.

[Txsleuth]

It sounds like typical office gossip...too bad it can sometimes hurt some very good people...when someone decides they want to cause mischief.

[Valin]

Megyn Kendall! I wouldn't kick her out for eating crakers in bed.

[Valin]

crakers = crackers

See this:

Axed Fox Newser Behind Brit Hume Affair Rumor

She is a very attractive dish....and admires Brit....but the perp was putting stuff into wikipedia for her bio and they pulled a slick move on him and identified that his computer was used to .....modify her entries.....

publicist Paul Schur, a former Fox spokesman whose job it was to burnish Hume's image just months ago....

[Txsleuth]

Thanks...

I wondered why she was all of a sudden going by Meghan Kelly instead of Kendall...I thought maybe she married Greg Kelly, another Fox reporter..

I think Brit Hume has WAY to much integrity to cheat on his wife...and certainly not with a Fox reporter...

The guy that put that in her Wiki bio probably got the bum's rush from her...LOL

I guess the only thing I can add is the PR timing of all this was rather clever by the WH. This week was suppose to be all about the brilliant Democrat Congressional Leadership's brilliant 1st 100 hours of Creeping Socialism agenda. Instead the Junk Media is stuck regurgitating all the same old whines they have made a thousand times before about Iraq.

I would only add one thing to your analysis is the media template on Iraq. It as always been.

"See, see, Bush is wrong on Iraq and we have always been right."

That is why this "surge" is such a political mistake no matter how much the military logic of it makes sense to the people in Iraq. The WH should of just done it rather then make a big PR deal about it. NOW it is being spun as "Iraq's last chance"

NO matter what happen the Media is NEVER going to report it as a success and the Democrats are NEVER going to give up their criminal level irresponsibility in playing domestic political games with US National Security. So now we will be subject to this relentless drum beat about how "the surge failed"

Funny how the "Surge" is exactly what the Dinocons and the Democrat Senators have been screaming for the last 2 years. The Dincons wanted "More Boots on the Ground" and the Leftist wanted "Bush to ask the International Community for help".

So once again the DC Old Boy's Club got Exactly what it wanted and now is moving the political goal posts on Iraq yet again.

[rodguy911]

Great in-depth job once again,sometimes I wonder how you do it.(this would be about a weeks work for me)

I wish someone would find or even create a news service that covers both sides of the war. It's bound to be out there, if we knew of one we could promote it here big time.

Our side destroys the enemy 10:1 but as you so accurately state we never hear about it.
More dbm sins of omission. No one better at it than them.

[MNJohnnie]

Gee wonder if any of the Sunday Show Democrats Activists in Journalist clothing will discuss this?

U.S.: Iranian Detainees Had Ties to Insurgent Group

January 14, 2007

BAGHDAD, Iraq —

Five Iranians arrested in northern Iraq last week were connected to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard faction that funds and arms insurgents in Iraq, the U.S. military said Sunday.

The five were detained by U.S.-led forces Thursday in a raid on an Iranian government liaison office in Irbil, a city in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq 217 miles north of Baghdad.

"Preliminary results revealed the five detainees are connected to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qods Force (IRGC-QF), an organization known for providing funds, weapons, improvised explosive device technology and training to extremist groups attempting to destabilize the Government of Iraq and attack Coalition forces," the U.S. military said in a statement.

"Qods" is the Arabic name for Jerusalem, and a frequent name for political or military factions across the Muslim world.

(excerpt)

The U.S. State Department has said American-led forces entered the Irbil facility because information linked it to Revolutionary Guards and other Iranian elements engaging in violent activities in Iraq.

(excerpt)

There has been debate over whether the Irbil office where the men were arrested had diplomatic status, and would therefore be protected by international treaties.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, a Kurd, described it as a liaison office that had government approval and was in the process of being approved as an Iranian consulate.

(excerpt)

But the U.S. State Department has said no legitimate diplomatic activity was being carried out at the site, and Rice said the office was not a consulate.

"The facility in which the detention took place has been described by various Iraqi officials as an Iranian liaison office, but it did not enjoy the diplomatic status of a consulate according to Iraqi and U.S. officials," the U.S. statement said.

It only means that Megyn has come to her senses.
