For sure!!

[Bahbah]

So Romney is on the defensive the whole time.

That is Timmy's whole strategy. Mitt is handling this quite well.

[advertising guy]

Mitt should have some control over fat tire timmah

[rodguy911]

I’ll tell you Bahbah,there is so much going on out there, now that we live in an “anything goes mentality” it is getting scary.
Thank God we reveal it here.

William Russell has been on multiple BTR shows since.

His web site makes me want to run him for Prez. Although PA needs him desperately.

SUNDAY TALK SHOW RATINGS ANALYSIS
Week of December 9, 2007

NBC MEET THE PRESS....3,881,000 (30%) (-754,000)
CBS FACE THE NATION...2,942,000 (23%) (+380,000)
ABC THIS WEEK.........2,997,000 (23%) (+ 92,000)
FOX NEWS SUNDAY.......2,462,000 (19%) (+447,000)
CNN LATE EDITION........528,000 ( 4%) (+ 52,000)

As the election season gets into full pitch, the Sunday talk shows' viewership has seen a steady upward climb. Last week we mentioned the steady upward rise of MEET THE PRESS. Well, all of those gains that MTP has made in the past few weeks-- gone. The NBC program saw its viewership crash and fall by over 700,000 viewers, dropping to its lowest market share in nearly four months (30% of Sunday talk viewers, down from last week's 37%). The other shows, however, are all up, and none has benefited more than FOX NEWS SUNDAY, which has risen to 19% audience share with an over 400,000 viewer gain. THIS WEEK saw a nominal gain and FACE THE NATION saw a fairly large one (although FTN has been wildly oscillating back and forth, so it will remain to be seen whether or not it is statistically significant).

Morning, jmyrle.

Pete Hofstra kicking Jane Harmon’s butt on FNS.

Now we are on to waterboarding, such bs.

[maica]

On Fox, Republican Pete Hoekstra is incensed at the destruction of the interrogation tapes. “Congress has to be kept informed.”

What is going on in his head? I thought that 4 members of Congress were informed about those interrogations.

[rodguy911]

He’s a great American!! I think there are two things he will need to take out Murtha. lots of PR, especially conservative talk radio,and lots of money.

[HonestConservative]

You are so right. I did enjoy his rant on the CIA and state.

[Bahbah]

Timmy is doing all that he can to harm Mitt in the eyes of conservative Republicans.

[anita]

He is angry at the way Porter Goss was forced out (by liberal deskies) and so not happy with Mike Hayden.

[rodguy911]

DBM pre-interviewing, not a surprise for them I am sure!! That’s why he is on. They needed someone with an R behind his name but hopefully someone carrying the DBM water.(which is always polluted) It’s all a game for them, just carrying out DNC chatting points....

[HonestConservative]

The veteran leadership in the military is a great talent pool from which to draw more men like Lt. Col. Russell.

After his formal announcement in Jan., watch the demrat machine bring out the dirt machine.

I hope Murtha doesn’t turn and retire, I want his bottom kicked.

[RatsDawg]

Mitt still has the same stance on guns that he always has?

[Alas Babylon!]

Good Morning!

Good Morning!

[advertising guy]

as God is my witness , I’d be loaded for bear.

When fat tire Timmah started the newspaper avalance of he said,you said..............I’d hit fat tire timmah w/ every socialist mouthy comment of the same previous week.....

[rodguy911]

Russert is basically a top NBC executive and Lawyer by trade, not much question about where he stands.

[HonestConservative]

Are we talking Timmy Russert or Timmy Blathers?

[rodguy911]

We are very like minded!!
