Rather than ask Juan Williams more questions....I’d like to see the panel talk over and around him.

Juan’s either as dumb as a brick or a nut job partisan. Either way, he’s a disgrace.

[saveliberty]

Oh my gosh, Bahbah! I hope that you feel better soon.

[anita]

Prez, rightfully recognized them this week..

[Suzy Quzy]

Biden is NOT the dumbest in the Senate....Ron Wyden, Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, BABS BOXER...all have him beaten as the dumbest.

[saveliberty]

LOL

I heard the clip and Suzanne repeatedly said “I don’t care about [Congress’s approval ratings, Media approval ratings, results in the same poll that the surge is working]

She was aggravated.

[Alas Babylon!]

One of the defenses I’ve seen the Left use this past week over the moveon.org ad is they say they’re just turning around the “Swift Boating” that Republicans did to Kerry in 2004.

Well, that completely ignores that the Swift Boat Vets were truly Swift Boat veterans who served with Kerry, and many of them knew him personally and served in boats next to his. They directly knew of his “exploits” anhd knew him to be a self-agrandizing liar who then turned around after he got out of the Navy and used his so-called hero statis to smear all Vietnam vets as crazed killers. Jenjis Khan and all.

Also, it’s one thing for a political candidate to use his medals to make a political point (as Kerry did when he threw them over the White House fence during a protest in the early 70s), and then run for national office on the fact that he is a decorated hero and be called on it by those who know the truth, against those who smear a career military man—who has NO politcal affiliation except to the Nation overall—with a falsehood of which the claimants have no basis whatsoever.

Yet from what I’ve heard many in the DBM think this is just “like the Republicans Swift Boating”.

No questions this morning about the Hsu scandal? It is the lead story again in today's WP. Biden received contributions from Hsu.

Hsu Cast Wide Net For Clinton Donors

[Suzy Quzy]

That “quote by Adm. Fallon was a fake quote??

[Bahbah]

I hope that you feel better soon.

I'm all fixed, save. Thank you for your kind thought.

Biden doesn’t think it would empower AQ if we cut and run.

Perhaps the most effective campaign tactic these days is the latest flurry of Usama bin Laden tapes supporting the Dem candidates, while calling for the U.S. to cut and run.

re: the Dew

If you've never seen it there's a fun web comix called The White Board, which literally started out with digital photos of the doodles the boss drew on the dry erase white board in their shop.  He's got a running bit about the main character, loosely based on himself (the owner of the largest paint ball shop in Alaska! Still Confusing the hell out of nonplayers every Monday, Wednesday and Friday since June 18th, 2002.) and his addiction to Dew.  He's even been known to brew coffee using Dew instead of water.  Here's the last two strips from this past week:

 

He's the polar bear.  The above stuff is part of a very long set up that dates back over a year, involving exploding refrigerators, unlicensed nuclear accelerators (it helps get the timing on the painball guns just right) and other... interesting complications.  Did I mention he can't draw people worth a darn so all of his main characters are anthropomorphic animals?  The strip is one of my guilty pleasures each week.  I particularly love his fixation on and creative use of "big honking mallets" whenever a customer annoys him too much.

RG, I imagine there are moments where such an idea has crossed your mind in your line of work.  I know it has in mine! <g>

I was standing on the National Archives side of Pennsylvania Ave, near a family with a 10-11 year old girl. When some of the leftie/commie/college student marchers went by, they expressed shock and horror that parents would ‘brainwash’ their child by bringing her to the demonstration.

Did your children have any comments about their experience?

[NautiNurse]

I don’t expect to hear much more about Norm Hsu unless and until he succumbs to Arkancide.

[anita]

If Clinton is substituted with ANY Republican, then the broadcast media’s sunday & the whole week topic would be that & nothing-else.

[maica]

Juan hit a new personal high of irrationality today - defending the moveon ad.

[Mo1]

Hey Juan ... this isn’t Vietnam

[rodguy911]

The Hsu scandal has become the shuuuu scandal.

[kabar]

and many of them knew him personally and served in boats next to his

And one of the SBVFT, Steven Gardner, actually served on Kerry's boat.

[anita]

That was reported by a fake news service & other credible news outlets ignored it.
