Good Morning, rg.
Prayers for Phsspok as well as Tony S and all Freepers with health issues.
Michelle is amazing!
I wonder if she had her own show, if any of the loyal opposition would show as guests?
He was Centcom chief under Bill Clinton & antiwar, anti-Bush.
Why so negative...because they didn’t do it his way, maybe.
Zinni is really targeting Cheney this morning.
Shallow observation of a despicable Dem: Has anyone ever seen a picture of Levin when his glasses were NOT on the tip of his nose?
Timmy just even looks so goofy, that potato head and then the ridiculous hair...I guess I just can’t stand the guy.
“The media never asks questions they don’t already have their own answers for.”
The media ALWAYS have their “answers” BEFORE they even know the questions!!!
LLS
Right you are....
Sorry, mispelled Phsstpok. (curling into fetal postion behind the ammo shack)
Zinni is pretendint that the Administration has absolutely no policy toward the middle east.
Timmy wants him to go with the benchmarks and date for withdrawal, but he isn’t going there. Says we are going to be there for a while.
I get the sense Zinni wants to go back to the way it was where we propped up evil regimes if they would help us contain other evil regimes.
Yeah, ok. thanks. Here comes how Carter was so brilliant.
there should be more
“sharing” Is he nuts? syria sharing with us?
Right, he spun Washington Post using his talking points substituting as IG’s report and they had to issue a correction. In a normal world, Levin’s word would have no credibility & never invite him on any show.
I’m at work today and just have a small black & white tv, but may have to listen to $$$$harpton on Fox.

Here is another of zillions of Imus references
http://newsbusters.org/
Yesterday I sent Monica Crowley an e mail about the I-man. The general consensus is that the I-man has been a bully for years and his time elapsed, his number was punched and the rest is history.
That's not exactly the case however, IMHO.
Trouble is there is more to the I-man than just saying crude, rude things about everyone at every level on the radio. The ranch and his fund raising for charity alone attribute to the true character of a very confusing man.
To begin with no one takes anything he says in that vein seriously, nor should they I-man be taken seriously. Once again if you don't like his style of broadcasting “change the bleep...ing channel”!!
Imus made a classic error in thinking that since dirtbag rappers talk in such a manner about young black women that it was O.K. for him to do so as well.
Guess what it wasn’t.
Problem is the I-man has existed in an environment,tv/radio, that is infiltrated with sharks,low-lifes and dirtbags who sit in front of show after show taping and recording just looking for that one word or phrase which can destroy a 40 year career.
Evidently such a thing did happen to the I-man.
Some media watch group, can't recall the name,taped the “nappy ho” comment and than e-mailed it to a zillion people until he got traction. His traction combined with the I-man's weakness destroyed a 40 year career in a matter of hours.(I have wondered if the I-man may not have known what he was doing and had just gotten tired of the daily grind and wanted out and this was his chance to get out, he saw it, we will never know)
Dealing with radio and tv. execs is the same as dealing with terrorists. You never want to approach them from a standpoint of “let’s talk” or weakness. They only see you as injured, sense blood in the water and immediately attack.
That what happened to Imus and that’s what will happen to us when we deal with terror types at every level worldwide.
It’s strength vs. weakness and strength wins every time.
Lindsay got religion it seems. Must be hearing it from the base. What did it, McCain’s numbers in Iowa?
It would seem to be that way.
Wallace has a distorted view of what “fair and balanced” is and how it relates to his audience. By contrast - his competion all study from the same playbook, share the same viewpoint and, execute the game plan flawlessly.
that’s exactly what he said now...we had a set up in the mideast with Sadaam and we screwed that up.
He is sooo political, empty words, sound smore like Obama...empty..as a Lib he has no “answers”.
Two great Americans,(and Freepers)
It’s the only way that he knows.
