Except for FNS, the emphasis seems to be on teddy.

[Bahbah]

It is always good to hear from the best Vice President this country has ever had.

[9YearLurker]

Larry Lucchino?

[Alas Babylon!]

The Sunday Talk Show thread is up!!!

Fox News Sunday is the best, and then there's all the rest!

Fox News has on Vice President Dick Cheney. All the rest are featuring a State Run Media Love Fest over Ted Kennedy.

Who has news, and who has propaganda?

They report, we decide.

Part of the anticipation in an interview from Cheney is that he won’t mealy-mouth his way through the appearance, that he wouldn’t waste his or our time by not actually saying something of consequence.

I’d take it the investigation of the CIA interrogators would be the issue today? His once more coming to the defense of those who defend us?

[Shqipo]

Oh boy, more Kennedy schmoozing! The hair of the dog after a one week grovel fest.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Great, Pubbies have Borin' Orrin and the Crazy One on Slay the Nation.

And Teddy was an Honorable Man.

[screaminsunshine]

These Sunday morning charades can be used to replace the Sunday comics when the newspapers finally die off. Total 100% waste of time.

[soycd]

I will bet that they gloss over or do not even mention what Kennedy did to Mary Jo. I doubt they will discuss his
drinking and womanizing pastime either.

The Massholes that idolize the kennedy misfits are either stupid or do it to spite the decent Americans.

[Bahbah]

I forgot to say good morning, Alas!

[Morgan in Denver]

Good morning all.

Agreed. Only FNC is worth watching if all the others talk about is Edward Kennedy. Yesterday was a good day, working in the yard and doing chores since there was nothing interesting on TV.

[saveliberty]

:) Good morning, Bahbah!

The timing couldn’t be better - The Washington Post tells us that now they see that enhanced interrogation worked.

So is the rewriting of Ted Kennedy's legacy going to be extended to these shows too?

We use to laugh at the old Soviets for their transparent attempts to rewrite history to fit political dogmas of the ruling class, they were waifs compared to our state run media

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Present. Thank you

[rodguy911]

Thanks for the thread and the ping AB! Hope that last cool front made it by your house, it won't get to mine.

Looks like FNC with Dick Cheney will be the only one worth watching,the rest simply opposition viewpoints as usual.

[Bahbah]

Pardon me while I bwahahahahahah!!!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Interesting that today’s media thinks they are writing the history. Little do they realize that they will only be a footnote and history itself will not be kind to them.
