I wonder if Wallace will ask Gibb’s about Sestak’s claim that he was offered a job to drop out of the PA Senate Dem primary. Gibbs has been stonewalling on that one for some time.

Good morning. No MCCain, no Graham.

Perhaps a reference to Representative Kennedy having a Kennedy moment without being behind a wheel, or Rahm armed with nothing but his convictions while he sells a health bill?

Good morning. No MCCain, no Graham.

Sorry to ruin your morning but Little Buddy will be on "This Week." Happy Sunday, FRiends!

[Old Retired Army Guy]

I was trying to fugure out how to navigate through the Sunday talk shows without having to see that Fat Idiot Axelrod, but it looks like he is everywhere.

[Son House]

FACE THE NATION (CBS): Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of America’s Health Insurance Plans

^
Could be interesting if Ignagni isn’t some Democrat hack

[TomGuy]

No MCCain, no Graham.

Sorry. Check "This Week".

I wonder whether their weekly ratings go down when either of these 2 are on? I know I change the channel.

[Son House]

No McConnell

^
Too repetitive with the 'American people are against it'(meaning health care) line, with no real explanation of the rot of Democrat policies, which has been more obvious as of late =>see long term unemployment

[Miss Didi]

Before the shows reading...the Post is reporting that Kara's dad will take on Gillibrand in the Senate race:

Kara 'Idol'-izes former GOP congressman dad

Interesting overnight thread from AmericanInTokyo:

[BREAKING] JAPAN MAINSTREAM "NIKKEI" NEWS CALLS OBAMA CANCELLING ASIA TRIP (VIA TWITTER) "INSULTING"

03/13/2010 8:36:15 AM PST · by AmericanInTokyo · 137 replies · 3,605+ views Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Tokyo (Original in Japanese) ^ | 14 March 2010 | AmericanInTokyo The Japanese daily equivalent to the American "Wall Street Journal", the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" (or "Nikkei" for short) has run a Japanaese language story just now reporting the slamming that Obama and Gibbs are getting for not only cancelling the Obama Asian trip, but in the rather crass, cavalier, informal and rude way it was apparantly gingerly announced (by Gibbs apparantly) through "Twitter".Alludes in Japanese that this is insulting in an Asian context. Original article (link provided to Japanese) is: 米大統領のアジア歴訪延期、ã my translation: "Obama's Asian Trip Postponement; (White House) Announcement Via 'Twitter' Causes Waves"

==

It seems The O and his Administration want to insult every ally we have in the world.

[Bernard]

Sorry, could not tell the difference between Axelrod and Graham. Wait, Graham has better hair, and Axelrod looks like Snidely Whiplash.

[Bahbah]

Good morning, Alas!

I am still a bit sleepy, but do I see Axelgibbs all over the place?

Morning AB and thanks once again for providing the thread.

C-Spam is once again loading up the phone lines in support of zerocare with mind numbed robot after robot. David,we got the votes just bekos,Waldman, basically said over and over we are in charge and if you don't like it tough sh_t. It's all he has aside from the usual DBM spin/lies.

Mark Tapscott Editorial guy from the Wash. Examiner did a uncharismatic job of fending off the devil left but what C-Spam really needs is someone from FR to drive home point after point that flies over the head of the supposed right side "guests" that are usually weaklings compared to us.

[dirtboy]

Gibbs is claiming that by next Sunday, Health Care Reform will have passed - and then jumped right to the eevil insurnce company talking point.

[savedbygrace]

Between the 5 shows, only 4 Republicans (plus the insurance person, who might be a Republican or a Dimocrat).
