I think I’ll head to the gym early this morning.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Hi AB! Thanks for the thread. This week is considerably worse than last week, and that is saying something. Thinking of sleeping in, so I can watch ‘The Art of War’ on History Channel tonight at 8 PM EDT. Need to brush up on tactics!

[pointsal]

We can certainly identify the “leaders” not likely to be getting a meaningful spiritual message this Sunday.

[Morgan in Denver]

Morning AB, and add my thanks for the thread. Seems boring with so many zero cronies on the programs. The only entertainment will be Freeper comments.

[ThreePuttinDude]

LOL, well put

[animal172]

There are around 635 members of Congress, 40,000,000 government employees, five vagrants living in front of the WH and we get the same old tired politicians every Sunday. What’s up with that??

[Melchior]

I didn’t know that Senator Hatch was a vagrant living in front of the White House. Doesn’t surpise me.

[animal172]

Ha! It would be nice to see some fresh faces on the Sunday shows. One of them might even say something remotely intelligent.

Mc and his growth are missing.

Mc’s spawn is continuing to spew her spiel and the newsies are loving it.

[maica]

CNN’s Sunday morning show consistently has at least one topical fresh face. (Reliable Sources and some of John King’s show are the only times in a week that I turn to CNN.)

This morning Joe Sestak (D-Pa) will be on. He ran as a ‘conservative’ democrat for the House and won. There is word out that he might challenge Arlen in a Dem primary for the Senate seat.

Two things I would like to know:
1) Has he voted as a conservative during his time in Congress.
2) How far will the dem machine go to disabuse him of his idea of running for senate.

[Alas Babylon!]

To answer everyone... Yes, it would be nice to see new guests on the Sunday shows.

But the driveby media (DBM) has an agenda, and the guests they invite reflect that agenda, plain and simple.

My major effort with this thread is to expose the DBM for the poseurs they are, not the journalists they pretend to be. They’re very defensive about it, as they know they’re propagandists for the Leftward lurch of our nation, and the discrediting of their professionalism is where we should aim.

Biden and Kathleen, don't they instill confidence in your govt? :)

[Bernard]

I look forward to SOMEBODY in the media (anybody, actually) giving credit to George W. Bush for supporting Arlen Spector in 2004 during the primary. If not for that, Toomey would most likely been the Republican candidate, and Arlen would be a footnote by now, or a lobbyist taking tax-preparation tips from Tom Daschle.

[Miss Didi]

Mc and his growth are missing.

Surely you jest, Tom. Tune in to Hannity tonight and you'll get to see McCain. ;)

[animal172]

I agree 100% with what you say. It’s such a sad thing to see though. Where have all the good journalists gone? We are destined for the trash heap of history I think. I really don’t recognize this country anymore. Each and everyday it becomes harder and harder to remain optimistic.

[Bahbah]

I guess the agenda this week is to keep our eyes off the crappy things that the Zero administration is doing and try to get us to focus on this flu thing which pretty much no one I know cares about at all.
