Lets say Libby is innocent does he get to go on MTP to talk about it? If he is guilty?

[Pukin Dog]

Damn! Who put jalapenos in your Wheaties?

Get some!

Do you have a link for this by Frank Luntz?

Thanks, in advance.

[Laverne]

Thanks for the thread, as always. Its days like these I appreciate the thread more than ever. I was only able to catch snippits of the shows today, so this thread has been most informative. Thanks to all for their posts.

WoW Phsstpok. What a clear and right-on anaylsis. It should be the first chapter in a guidebook for the GOP.
This weekly thread is so good that I normally just read and don't comment but kudos to you.

[roses of sharon]

Well Russert does have a reporter friend on the jury, or is it a neighbor?

Maybe they have been communicating, who cares if its illegal, its for "world peace"!

[MNJohnnie]

also- we will be making a big announcement about the show next week....

I LOVE YOU!

From your link to Gatewaypundit:

On Saturday, a suicide attacker had detonated his car bomb outside the Baghdad home of Abdel Aziz Hakim, the leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), which has close ties to Teheran.

An unexploded shell lies at the site where a minibus packed with explosives blew up outside the Iranian embassy in central Baghdad. Insurgent bombers launched yet another blitz across the Iraq capital, with attacks striking a commercial district, a business school and the street in front of the Iranian embassy.(AFP/Wisam Sami)

&&&&&

Now I am really confused. Suicide bombers targeting Iranians are called "insurgents?" Wouldn't they be defenders of the sovereign state of Iraq?

Re #241

If you dont tell us in your next post how Duncan Hunter is the answer to all that ills us, I am going to lose my temper, buddy!!

(Pukin takes a swig of coffee)

Nice post.

More from Gatewaypundit. News not deemed worthy by APCNNetc

ITEM: Iraqis Take Over Basrah Division

Jobless numbers are declining in Iraq as well as Iraqi buying power is increasing. This is evident by observing the increase of 500 percent the number of cars in the last 3 years. Commence in Iraq especially in Kurdistan and the south is booming. Baghdad has experienced tremendous growth in economic activity in spite of the violence. This is evident by the increase of the prices of real estate in Baghdad many hundreds percent.

Average wages have also increased at similar pace. Health care and electricity in most of the provinces has much improved and is better than it was under Saddam. Medicines are readily available and affordable. These were always in short supply under Saddam’s rule.

If Joes switches...there are 2-3 GOP that would change the other way...

I think the conventional wisdom is that Susan Collins would switch IMMEDIATELY...

At least the Johnson family moved Sen. Johnson to SD for his rehab..makes it harder for dingy Harry to wheel him into the Senate to vote...one blink for yes,,two blinks for nay...

[Phsstpok]

I listened to most but not all of the roundtable with Russert, Dowd, Balz, Kearnes Goodwin and York. I didn't hear any mention of it, but I could have missed it. It certainly wasn't prominent or lengthy if they did say anything.

I did notice that both MTP and FNS insisted on "balance" on their roundtables when discussing the Hillary/Obama kerfuffle they just had to also bring up McCain's attacks on Rumsfeld and Cheney's defense of the former SecDef. If there had been a similar Republican dust up that was news worthy you just know the DBM types would have looked long and hard for a balancing story about Dhimmicrat tensions. (not)

[Pukin Dog]

Not a single Republican would switch should Lieberman join the GOP. Not one. Susan Collins is not so stupid as to believe she could ever win reelection in her state as a Democrat, and she isnt bright enough to do much else anyway.

Where their a Senator dumb enough to join the Democrats, it would be Hagel, but not even he is that dumb.

[SwatTeam]

Thanks :)

[Txsleuth]

Not only did they not deny it..but, I have seen dem pundits on TV laughing about it, practically saying, "of course they are liars, so?"

IOW...they don't care, so why should we??

And, for Hillary to give a speech the day after this happened...and tell the crowd that her husband is "the most popular person in the world"...

Pretty much tells us all we need to know..and that MOST of us already know....THEY LIE...but, the don't apologize, and the dems LOVE them BECAUSE if it..not in spite of it!!

Dems CAN lie....I think it is in the Constitution some where.

[MNJohnnie]

Here is the link between Saddam and Bin Laden that NONE of the Democrats EVER want to talk about.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/terrorism/international/fatwa_1996.html

BIN LADEN'S FATWA

Because Saddam invaded Kuwait and we were NOT allowed to finish him, we had to sustain substantial US and British Military forces in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has NEVER been a colony so this was the 1st time "Infidels" had been garrisoned on the "Holy Soil" of Saudi Arabia. This drove the wack jobs like Bin Laden nuts. IT was the primary cause of them planning and carrying out 09-11. To drive us off the "Holy soil" of Saudi Arabia.

So in the aftermath of 09-11 the US had 3 choices.

Surrender to Bin Laden's demands, pull out of Saudi Arabia which would not only uncaged Saddam but would also guarantee we would be subject to more and more terrorism. ONCE the terrorists, like any other thugs, thinks their tactics are working their demands only grow.


Ignore the problem and hope desperately that we can stop each and every terrorists act forever and ever.

Remove Saddam thus removing the reason we needed to have troops in Saud thus removing the Terrorists primary fund raising and recruitment tool while providing us an even BETTER strategic position in the ME.

LOL

Sorry, you two. Not this time-- I was in church.

[Txsleuth]

Did you or anyone here just see the interview on CNN with Seymour Hersh a few minutes ago???

If so....thoughts???

I am still trying to digest what I heard, with my mouth hanging open.

[Ooh-Ah]

Please see:

A Word for Chris Wallace (Email from Doug Feith to Chris Wallace)

Chris Wallace failed to mention today what is in this email and ONLY said Doug Feith contacted the show and said he stood by what he had said on the show on February 11, 2007.

[saveliberty]

Well said, Morgan in Denver.
