On FOX News Sunday this morning, Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling said that he didn't have time for those who'd talk about more or less gun control at this point, while the families were grieving, George Washington University president Steve Trachtenberg boasted that at GWU, not only are the faculty and students disarmed, but so are the campus security officers.
Next on FNS, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chuck Schumer lamented that he didn't have the votes to renew the Assault Weapons Ban, but that he was trying to pass it in bits and chunks. He gave the President a few names of acceptable replacements for Al Gonzales: Larry Thompson, Jim Comey, and one other whose name slipped past. Arlen Specter called Harry Reid's "war is lost" quip, "very, very demoralizing" and "very destructive."
On TW, Newt Gingrich said that "with time and patience," the United States "absolutely" could win in Iraq. It was a good interview for him.
On MTP, nothing happened. Not a thing. And then Russert had Jon Meacham on to emit noise about nothing.
The most interesting thing said on CBS' Face the Nation was Sarah Brady's insistence that "we enforce the existing [gun control] laws." She meant it in the context of federal laws overwhelming State law.
Also on FTN, Pat Leahy boasted that the Republicans had taken the lead on ousting AGAG.
On LE, Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell posited that we must be careful not to abandon our civil rights "because of the actions of one madman." Columnist Tom Friedman of the New York Times, hawking the latest flat earth book, declared his oneness with Joe Biden.
