Couric can report the truth and get away with it because no one watches her newscast. LOL!

[TomGuy]

I am apprehensive that too many of the Freddiebots are latching on to him in hopes of what they hope him to be, rather than what he is/was.

I agree. So far, he just doesn't appeal to me. He did state in an interview yesterday, however, that he favored closing the borders. [He failed to say exactly how he would go about that. And his voting record in the Senate was more in the other direction.] I also think his 'folksie' chats will get old and shallow once people/commentators start asking him for details of his plans. If he, unlike John Kerry in 04, can give substance, he might be the candidate; so far, he has been light on details/substance.

But, so far, none from either party make me want to rush out and buy one of their lapel buttons.

Hurricane Andrew, huge Cat-4 (later upgraded to Cat-5) hurricane that made a direct strike on Florida back in August 1992.

I don’t recall it.
The msm has to cover up all the misdeeds of Louisiana(where all the federal money went) politicos who have striven to make NO residents cradle to gravers. Now that we see the result, everything from frozen dough, to buses under water, to a blame game second to none, they have to try even harder to cover up the truth.

[Bahbah]

Thanks, rodguy.

Just here for a few minutes today. Birthday party.

Will enjoy reviewing the thread later.

[Rational Thought]

I was Kidding....

[rodguy911]

Yeah it’s about the size of a 40 lb watermelon with the same content.

[jmyrlefuller]

Sorry. My bad.

I guess you get the point.

[johnny7]

He comes off a bit scripted but truth is I could support Mitt,Rudy, Fred or Duncan Hunter.

I like Hunter, coming around on Thompson, reluctant for Romney... but in the end... ANYTHING BUT A DEMOCRAT!

[rodguy911]

There is so much to Andrew that was never covered, books have and will still be written.

Rumors were for days that bodies were uncovered day after day and put in tractor trailers and never seen again.

Other rumors were that an area known as Perrine that was loaded with bad guys before the storm, was not so loaded with bad guys after the storm.

The truth of many things will always be hard to document either way.

Katie Couric also worked hard to get Prez’s interview. She worked with Nicole Wallace (former Bushie now with CBS) to get to Ed Gillespie. Atleast she was respectful and visibly appear to be moved by our Troops.

[jmyrlefuller]

Well, let me say I have a lot of the same concerns. I’m also concerned a lot about the fact that he has very recently done work as an employee of NBC (as well as ABC), the very MSM that despises Republicans. My conspiracy-theory side tells me that Fred is the MSM’s Trojan horse.

I’m personally a supporter of Hunter.

[rodguy911]

Happiest of birthdays Bah!

[rodguy911]

Yeah really, bottom line....

[txradioguy]

Yeah I guess the coverup of institutional graft and corruption by a political party is more important than the infinitely more destructive storm that did damage in Florida AND Louisiana...damaged a military installation so bad it had to be closed and did $90 million dollars damage to a nuclear plant.

Priorities ya know.

[Laverne]

I never watch Katie, but I did read the reviews on the Corner about her reporting and by and large they said she was quite fair, and given she actually said the surge was working, must have given schieffer a heart attack, albeit not a massive one since he is still on-air!

Bob is hateful and is not able to get very good guests on air, given his choices today of teddy and brent. I didn’t watch either, did you watch what brent scowcroft had to say?

[rodguy911]

You got their number

[anita]

Many happy returns, Bahbah!

[Laverne]

Happiest of days to you today bahbah!

[doug from upland]

It’s not me. It’s Peter and his case, and it largely depends on the dissemination of the information.
