Not sure what this is about, but Hannity is re-airing in a minute.


Thanks and it is the Special Report. It was excellent. I highly recommend everyone watch it! Hoping it will be on Fox website later as well

It is interesting that the big-government-loving New York Times would note that this program was scheduled.
Somebody there obviously wasn’t paying attention.

Where is Webb located?

Not sure where he's out of, but I listen to him on XM - Patriot Channel.

There are overpaid parasites, like the lobbyists, lawyers, media whores, pundits, and the finance gurus, but they are not 100% of the populace, which includes a majority of average hard-working waitresses, salesmen, tradesmen,etc. They are not buying Masseratis and million dollar homes.


No one is saying 100 percent of the D.C. population is elite....however, the demographics indicate Washington is roaring....and it is doing so because of all the spending...

The program is referring to the excess of the “ruling/elite” class of lobbyists and cronys...that has expanded due to our deficit spending. Of course there are hard working folks there who are not buying $$$$ wine and paying cash for Masseratis.

Stephen K. Bannon, Peter Schweizer, Sarah Palin and Alan West. They already all are connected and would make a great team going forth to clean out the corruption in our government.

Oldbill has it exactly right. The DC area is certainly booming, but it’s not because DC is thoroughly corrupt. Most folks here are hardworking.
