Arlen is insisting on a transcript on the Gonzo issues and he thinks the White House will eventually agree.

[Bahbah]

LOL.

You are quick.

[saveliberty]

When he speaks, all I can think is “does not work well with others”

[saveliberty]

LOL

Two tabs, open at once

[Carolinamom]

I wish the voters in Pennsylvania were as sick of Arlen as I am.

[Txsleuth]

I started disliking Col. Hunt a long time ago...and if he called VP Cheney a draft dodger...then he has jumped the shark as far as I am concerned.

We are in trouble if one has to have been in the military to have any respect or credibility with SOME people.

[mathluv]

He stepped over the line long ago for me, too. When he called the VP a draft dodger, I turned it off. (The sound was not very good, either)

[raccoonradio]

oh that’s right—it’ll be on again later today 7:30 pm
tonight (ET):

7:30 General Assignment: Col. David Hunt (Ret.), On the Hunt: How to Wake Up Washington and Win the War on Terror

You can also hear that hour here:

(may only be up for awhile)

[Bahbah]

We are in trouble if one has to have been in the military to have any respect or credibility with SOME people.

The other side of that coin is that we can't question anyone who has ever been in the military. So we get the likes of John Murtha.

Oh, gee, Arlen says there is a cloud over the careers of all of the dismissed US attorneys.

[HonestConservative]

Yes, I mispoke earlier in a way. Hillary is dead last among the semi-realistic candidates. I do not see Biden or Dodd as such.

Sen. Barack Obama 28%
Sen. John Edwards 25%
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 17%
Gov. Bill Richardson 12%
Sen. Hillary Clinton 11%
Sen. Joe Biden 6%
Sen. Chris Dodd 1%

Ms. Dodd must have been in the audience.

[saveliberty]

I agree with you. So does Howie.

[sgtyork]

I think if you learn more about Scheuer, you will find him a very reprehensible sort.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

reprehensible and dangerous

http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/03/post_3.html

Like Valerie Plame, Scheuer is an unabashed Leftist, as he showed in his first CIA-approved book. He openly admires Al Qaida -— remember, this is the guy who was in charge of protecting us before 9/11 (!!!) And he sides with the justice of their cause. According to Publisher’s Weekly’s review of Scheuer’s first book, he believes that

“Arab antagonism to the West ... has its root in real grievances that have gone unaddressed by U.S. measures. The actions of the Saudis, and their U.S. supporters, come in for some hard criticism, as does the elevation of Northern Alliance warlords to de facto governors of Afghanistan. The author makes some challenging remarks regarding Israel ... while playing down the extent to which the Taliban itself was a corrupt theocratic regime...”
Indeed, Scheuer despises Israel, calling it a “theocracy-in-all-but-name.” But that is bizarre and ignorant. Israel was founded by secular, democratic Left-wingers like David Ben Gurion and Golda Meir, who had seen their families and friends murdered in Europe because they were Jews. Nobody asked if they were religious Jews or not. In fact, most of them were militantly secular; some early kibbutzim went so far Left as to add a blessing for Jozef Stalin to the Passover ceremony. Israel has exactly the same debates between religious and secular people that we have in the United States, and those debates are decided democratically and by rule of law. Michael Scheuer is purported to be a “Middle East expert,” but how can any expert make such a basic mistake?

[saveliberty]

He called the VP a draft dodger. Howie held his feet to the fire.

[Carolinamom]

One redeeming quote from McCain that raised my estimate of him....a view that I never thought to have...was that he’d rather lose a campaign than a war.

[rodguy911]

Thanks Star.

I gotta tell you a few weeks ago I truly thought that sanctions might be enough to destroy the Iranians plans to build nukes. Now I am not so certain.
There are some great takes on what is going on,here’s one;

http://towncommons.blogspot.com/2007/04/this-is-not-good.html

The piece talks about how 12 Arab countries including the Saudis,Bahrain,Egypt,Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar,and others are struggling to make the bomb—the entire Mid- East, as the U.S. drops the ball on Iran.

Even more elucidating is this from Victor David Hanson found at:

http://victordavidhanson.pajamasmedia.com/

The war here and Abroad goes on—it’s a must read!!

Heres are some excerpts,”oil spike...driven up by demand...importance of mid east...sending a half trillion dollars to a primordial region(Hanson writes so well)..We are now seeing the wages of that circulating cash, as the Gulf Monarchies are racing to acquire nuke reactors(at 4 billion a pop) to counter Iran’s soon to be on-line Nuclear arsenal.
...the idea of a nuclear wahhabi state...is horrific.
...its 1939 all over again...the jihadation of Europe is at hand.

I still say whether it’s Imus or Iran it’s strength vs. weakness all over again.
Now I wonder whether or not we should send in the planes to Iran loaded with bombs and take out those 2,500 high value targets one general said we could in 48 hours.Would that keep a nuclear Mid- East from happening?
I’m now wondering. (can't get the second link to work,sorry)

[rodguy911]

Imus who willed the power to Sharpton when he went on al's show

Exactly, and the I-man is no rookie which makes me wonder if he didn't want out anyway.

[HonestConservative]

I think my back yard is a Cubit.

Can cubit’s be converted to hot tubs?

[Txsleuth]

You make a great point about the fact that if there was no audience for these rap songs...they would stop.

I have found it quite interesting this week whenever the subject of the rap songs has come up....the black person on the various shows (you fill in a name)...ALWAYS says that 75% of the rap CD’s are being bought by WHITE teenagers.

THAT way they can justify that they DO have an audience, which justifies them being made..BUT, that it is whitey that is buying them...perpetuating the stereotype that it is the white people that sustain the mistreatment of black women.

[samantha]

If he wanted out, that would not be the way anyone would want to exit even a sick old doofus like him. He needs revenue, and he might look like a corpse, but he still can talk and obviously is still able to get up everyday and do that show. I do not watch him or listen to him, but he showed up more than E.D. Hill did. on Fox and Friends.
