Miss Ferraro, Madeleine Albright, and Billie Jean King.....a "rapid rebuttal force" of well-known women on standby to defend and promote Sen Clinton's candidacy.

That sounds like the beginning of a joke:

A failure, a bowling pin, and a lesbian walk into a campaign.......

[Bahbah]

Chris Wallace is trying to prove that the army is not in danger of running out of money.

Fortunately, McConnell is ready for him and simply says the Congressional Reseach Service is wrong.

[MNJohnnie]

Which is wise because the AP did not count the Iraqi Security force casualties. This would be like the US not counting our SOF casualites as military deaths.

Here from the very story by the AP which shows that it is at best misleading if not a calculated attempt to lie by the AP.

The Associated Press count of U.S. military deaths for the month was 81, including a soldier who died from non-combat causes Friday. Figures compiled from officials in the Iraqi ministries of Defense, Health and Interior showed the Iraqi military toll was 44. The Iraqi figures showed that 165 Iraqi police were killed in March. Many of the police serve in paramilitary units.

Good morning, everyone.

Please do not expect me to be funny today, as I am in a very bad mood. My doctor says I must give up coffee and alcohol.

I told him I would meet him half way, and just switch to Scotch in the morning. *burp*

[Chuck54]

That sounds like the beginning of a joke:

A failure, a bowling pin, and a lesbian walk into a campaign.....

Good one. LMAO.

[Carolinamom]

Depending on these 3 losers and her impeached hubby to fund raise paints Hillary as a DEpendent woman...hardly the stuff of a CIC during wartime.

Anyone who thinks Bubbah will NOT sit in on Hil's Cabinet meetings is smoking more than cigarettes.

[txradioguy]

Why is it the Dems ALWAYS have to have these "response teams"...always on the ready with rebuttal in hand to anything that is said about them?

It was that way for 8 years under the first Clinton.

He was insulated with a group that was always in the camera 5 minutes after Clinton spoke "clarifying" and "explaining" what he'd just said.

[babaloo]

Now that's funny.

What the heck does BJK have to offer in terms of "rapid response"?

[txradioguy]

Heard that...can't repeat on here what I think about it.

But words like sedition...giving aid and comfort and a few others come to mind.

[txradioguy]

Good catch babah...Conservatives need to use this as a rule of thumb...if the Dems like a Republican...he/she is NOT the republican you want for that job.

[txradioguy]

She can reach out to the GLBT crowd.

[maica]

Chris Wallace mentioned Pelosi's trip at the very end of the panel portion of his show == did not ask for or get any comments on her incredible arrogance.

[Chuck54]

Great political cartoon. Thanks to Powerline.

Maybe someone can post the actual cartoon instead of the link. I'm a bit challenged in posting pics.

Couldn't get the link to post either.........Geez.

I dont recommend the watching of the first part of FNS.
Wallace destroyes McConell's position on the issue of Rove appearing under oath in the lawyer affair.

Fair and balanced my u know what...

Biden was doing everything possible to hide a big smirk while this was going on.

[edpc]

Not that it's ever a good day to watch his show, but today is an especially tough day to watch Matthews. He and his fellow travellers are piling on and announcing the death of the Republican party. Joe Klein is a clown, but he's looking more and more like a mime every day.

[Bahbah]

Clinton sent his aides down there to testify and ordered them not to remember anything, which they didn't.

Remember the guy who had to say that he lied to his diary?

[maica]

Schumer sat next to David Gregory in the front row of tables at the TV correspondents dinner last week. (Remember when Tony Snow called Gregory a partisan and later apologized?)

I think a media crew follow Schumer all day every day, because reporters get his rebuttals on air about 3 minutes after President Bush or other republicans say anything.

[edpc]

Biden's smirk is his trademark and one of the reasons people outside of Delaware have such disdain for him.

[kabar]

Since January 2005, the Iraqi security forces, military and police, have lost, to date, 5,092 personnel compared to our 1,601 killed due to hostile causes during the same period. The fact is that Iraqis are dying at a rate three times ours in defense of their country. The MSM downplays this sacrifice because it doesn't fit their template. It is also worth mentioning that Iraqi government officials and their families have been assassinated and remain the targets of those wishing to overthrow this duly elected government.

[Chuck54]

I just watched McConnel on FNS and he should have given an answer such as, "When any of the Judiciary shows me absolutely any shred of evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the Gonzalez matter I may change my mind.

Until then STHU".
