Great. A whole hour with Scooter on MTP. What drama. /sMust to be a guest on sunday shows: either bash Bush or support Clintons. Arnold Schwarzenegger gets-in by talking in support of Mrs.Clinton & Goracle.
Wallace's (as well as Stephanopoulos) question(as Pelosi's spokesman) would be to Rice: Do you support VP Cheney's take about Pelosi's positon on war? Poor Elisabeth Bumiller, coming out with book on Rice, thinking she would be a candidate for Prez.
I'll be missing the "shows". In NYC heading to Atlanta soon but MTP and Levin need to be Oscar nominated for the least inspiring show of the decade.
BWAH HAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Great. A whole hour with Scooter on MTP. What drama. /sOlder story but well worth the read. Another example of how the "News" media is totally failing to do it's job.

FoxTabliodTrashNews channel is still doing Anna news this morning.
This makes the 18th consecutive day they have had breaking news about Anna Nichole.
[Remember when the NYT ran day after day after day of the AbuGhraib college-level pranks as atrocities? It seems FTTN channel is trying to out do them by daily doses of ANS ad nauseum.]
I've gotten to the point where I turn the TV off during the day. I used to run the news channels for background. That was when they had news, not tabliod trash.
Morning AB...All,
Going to church. Got to sing. I am the only Alto. I am not happy about this. Now I must sing with the men. Which is fine I suppose in that, ahem, I like men and everything but, ahem again, not necessarily to SING with them.
Way I figger, I'm more a tenor than a baritone.
Last I heard they was bringing in an Alto from out-of-town.
Folks, you can't make this stuff up.
We are currently awaiting a phone call from duty doctor to sort out some medication.

Congrats to all who particpated in one of the best overall threads we have had, posts just keep getting better and better on the Sunday thread. We do provide a plethora of knowledge for the other members of the New media to peruse
Place marked for later enjoyment.
LOL as Chris Matthews leads his Sunday show with the Hillary-Geffen battle. Dan Rather says it shows Hillary will fight back. Nora O'Donnell says it shows Hillary does not want to be judged by her husband.
"Brilliant strategy" says some black NPR reportterette named Michelle Norris... it. shows how the brilliant Hillary turned this Geffen spat away from her and Bill, and onto Obama. (Norris indulging in some wishful thinking here)
Bill Clinton is the best thing Hillary's got, says Dan Rather, in agreement with the financial guy Jim Cramer who says he associates Bill Clinton with finding an AIDS cure, not Monica. Voters have short attention span says Matthews
Dan Rather knows about being rehabilitated.....there he is on the Chris Matthews Sunday Show. treated like some kind of sage.
"Boom or Bust" Matthews asks about the 2008 economy. "Fantastic economy" says Cramer. Rather says good economy won't help republicans, it didn't help Gore in 2000.
Jim Cramer made fun of John Edwards as knowledgeable on the economy.
On 2008 election, "it's Iraq, stupid", said Dan Rather, who felt a need to refute everything Cramer said.
Dan Rather just back from Afghanistan, interviewed their president...who knew? who cares?
Nora O'Donnell thinks "Little Miss Sunshine" will win Best Picture. I repeat myself....."who cares?"
Matthews wrap-up rant... Will Al Gore run?
O'Donnell says no.
Rather says a possibility

Trolley Square rampage puzzle still lacks 'why'
Salt Lake City police detectives believe they know what happened. They just don't know why. The investigation into the Trolley Square shooting rampage Feb. 12 apparently is hinging on the unanswered question: why? Why did 18-year-old Sulejman Talovic go on a killing spree inside the crowded mall, killing five people and wounding four others before dying in a shootout with police?

Who Needs Jacques Bauer?
Twenty-nine defendants went on trial earlier this month in a Spanish courtroom for complicity in the March 11, 2004 Madrid train bombings that killed 191 commuters and injured another 1,800. Among the accused: Jamal Zougam, a 33-year-old Moroccan immigrant who once ran a cell-phone business. In June 2001, Spanish police raided Mr. Zougam's apartment, where they found jihadist literature and the telephone numbers of suspected terrorists.

Report: Progress made in Schalit talks
(Some folks don't learn)
For the first time in quite a while there was cautious optimism in Jerusalem Saturday night about the possible release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Schalit, with Channel 10 reporting Saturday that there has been "significant" progress in negotiations for his release... According to the report, meetings some 10 days ago prompted a compromise that a "few hundred" prisoners would be released.

Hicks 'bragged' to inmate
AUSTRALIAN terror suspect David Hicks bragged that his non-Arab appearance and his Christian surname would allow him to pass undetected through airport security checks, according to a former Guantanamo Bay inmate. The claim is contained in a 148-page document written by former inmate Feroz Abbasi, who also said Hicks told him that he was willing to undertake suicide missions, including crashing a plane into a building.

Hillary's Strategy in Attacking Obama
(Courtesy of Dick Morris, the only man who still lives suspiciously to tell and Eileen Gann)
Why is Hillary’s enforcer, Howard Wolfson, shooting Barack Obama in the kneecaps over David Geffen’s criticism of his candidate? If Wolfson had his way, Geffen would “sleep with the fishes.”Hillary and her boys realize that all that Obama has to sell is his purity. He’s like Evian water. He has no particular taste, he's just the un-cola — the opposite of the vicious, destructive, partisan politics that pervades our country and turns off the voters.

An Upside-Down World
LONDON--The other day Ken Livingstone, the mayor of my hometown of London, organized a conference on Islam and the West. It was a carefully rigged affair in which handpicked speaker after handpicked speaker stood up and announced that the democracies were to blame for the tidal wave of murder sweeping the world. To provide a spurious air of balance, the organizers invited a few people who dissented...

What a first and lasting impression to leave - Mrs. Patrick, who has a full-time mid-six-figure job, now gets a chief of staff, a woman from Wellesley named Amy Gorin who was one of Deval’s earliest rich moonbat supporters.

'History will see Blair as Churchillian'
Tony Blair's backing for the Iraq war will be honoured by history in the same way as Churchill's decision to fight Hitler, Iraq's former prime minister has told The Sunday Telegraph. In remarks that will be a welcome fillip to Mr Blair, Ibrahim al-Jaafari said that getting rid of Saddam Hussein would be a legacy that future generations of Britons would be "proud of".

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.
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.
As usual, MSM proving their irrelevancy!
