I’ve heard folks I know who aren’t interested in politics taking shots at Pelosi this week. She’s really bleeped up big time.

[johnny7]

He keeps saying they carried the President’s message

Just like they said Bush sent Wilson...

[mathluv]

I rarely watch c-spin. It makes my blood pressure go up.

In fact, I watch very little tv - even a lot less Fox for the same reason.

I don't believe in global warming (especially, as on poster put it on the Texas board, with two inches of 'global warming' on the ground in Lubbock). I hate to hear Brit or W agree that it is happening.

I want our borders closed, and our laws respected.

I don't care if we are 'liked' around the world as long as we are 'respected' (or feared - whatever it takes).

I am sick of the weak-kneed sisters putting down W - whatever party they belong to. If you don't like what he has done, don't vote for him again.

[mainepatsfan]

That seems to be the ratio the MSM uses anytime they actually decide to have a real conservative on the air.

[kabar]

If they carried the President’s message, why did the President ask them not to go?

[TomGuy]

FoxNews sinks to a new low.

FoxTabloidTrash4News Network is running an ad wanting people to email in their gossip. It is called lipsandears@foxnews.com.

[edpc]

Kate may be outnumbered, but the ratio is fair. Conservative viewpoints and thought have the energy equivalent of a nuclear reaction. The combined power of the Lefties on the panel may summon the power to burn my toast this morning.

[mainepatsfan]

Perhaps they were doing so covertly? /s

[Bahbah]

Too good not to post.

[tiredoflaundry]

Countdown to no ratings! LOL!

[mainepatsfan]

Looks like MSNBC’s money was as well spent on him as CBS’s was on Katie Couric.

[edpc]

Interesting. I figured the 2006 election results would give shows like Olbermann’s a small bump. Even if his audience grew 100%, the ratings are still only a “monsterous” 0.4. What a laugh.

[gov_bean_ counter]

HE IS RISEN INDEED.

[snugs]

I am afraid I will not be around again today off to see dad at the hospital I will be taking him his Easter Egg.

And tomorrow I will take him his Easter Cake

Update he has had the op (replacement hip and set the elbow). Here he is back in the ward and sleeping yesterday

Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers - much appreciated. If I get the chance will check in later.

[aligncare]

I've been proudly not watching Keith Olbermann since he first came on the air...In fact, I'm the very first non view he had! Do I get an award?

[Bernard]

typical fair and balanced ratio of 4 to 1, liberal to conservative guests

Kate is out-numbered 4 to 1, and out-witted 2 to 1. Here's hoping she has a good show.

[grace522]

Is Chris Wallace going to let Newt speak? WTFO! Enough with Chuckie Shuma the blowhard.

[TomGuy]

Pelosi under attack -- and not just from the VRWC:

Wash Post nails Pelosi: Pratfall in Damascus

[NBC] Lauer Pelts Pelosi's Foreign Fling: 'A Lot of People Think She Messed Up

Nancy Pelosi Should Resign [Jerry Zeifman, frmr Democratic Counsel, House Judiciary]

Illegal Diplomacy [Wall St Journal]

Our view on foreign policy: Pelosi steps out of bounds on ill-conceived trip to Syria [USA Today]

[H.Akston]

Finally he’s getting to speak. I was about to switch it over to MTP.

[longtermmemmory]

This morning I was greeting with the new trial balloon for immigration amnesty.

It is still amnesty because those here illegal alien criminal will be eligible for the guest worker program and STILL be eligible for a path to citizenship and pay a mere $10,000.00 find. They have zero substantive downside.

KEEP IN MIND WE HAVE A ROLLING AMNESTY NOW. Right now, if an illegal alien has been in the usa for ten years and has not been convicted of a felony during those ten years, they can apply for a hardship based visa. Essentially if you hide well for ten years you can stay. This used to be six years but was changed under the immigration reforms of 1990’s. Now here is the interesting part, if you hire a lawyer to do this hardship application the lawyer fee is around $10,000 PER APPLICANT.

There is an application to waive the need to return home so the notion in this trial balloon that the illegal aliens will return home for a week to apply and come back is a joke.

The news showed a few protesters on the $10,000.00 issue. Regardless, at double the “fine” this is still amnesty at one hundred times that price.
