[Alas Babylon!]

As always, soliciting FReeper comments and observations.

[Alas Babylon!]

ALERT!!!

McCain will discuss who stole the strawberries with Bob "Purple-faced Rage" Schieffer!

[billorites]

"Ah yes. The strawberries!"

[anniegetyourgun]

Has anyone ever seeen Racicot and McAuliffe face off? I'd actually like to see that.

[RippleFire]

Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) will smile, fawn, and attempt to demonstrate his gravitas. Then the sound of an ambulance siren penetrating the studio will cause him to leap from his chair and run for the door.

[SkyPilot]

I see Faceless Nation has Mary Landrieu (D-La.) Last I heard of her, she stole the election in La--but the Republicans let it go. I know she is an abortion-loving woman. She can't shut up about how great abortion is.

I also remember her saying she was a Catholic, but I wouldn't put bets on her devotion.

[SkyPilot]

Here is a picture of her.

Her official website has a hot key that says: About Mary

They should preface it with: "There is Something About...."

[G.Mason]

Sunday Morning Talk Shows?

Further proof that many of us like to be beat.

Now, don't get me wrong, a slap now and then is good for "attitude ajustment" purposes.....but to be whipped with cat-o-nine tails.....well, I mean it makes you bleed!

[dennisw]

How did you find out who is going to appear on the various shows? Thanks!

[SkyPilot]

Ann Coulter says there is a saying in Washington D.C.

"Don't count your Hatch's before they have Chickened."

I wonder if he will tell the world what "Great friends I am with Sen Ted Kennedy" again.

[Alas Babylon!]

Many newspapers print it in their Saturday editions. So I search their online editions then. FReeper Politico2 sometimes freepmails the lineups to me also.

[dennisw]

Thanks much. I went to the Meet the Press website at MSNBC and came up dry. Am watching Tony Snow/Condi Rice right now.

[backhoe]

I do have a file of links about Mary in this:

FOB and FOFOB... the clinton friend files

You have to scroll right to see them; old files cause weird formatting problems on the new board's software.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

It will be another hour and 45 minutes before I get to see Condi. What is she saying?

[secret garden]

Inside joke about strawberries?

[dennisw]

It will be another hour and 45 minutes before I get to see Condi. What is she saying?

_________________________________

She gave the GWBush line on Israel/Israel. She fleshed it out a bit. She looked good. Senator Bob Graham is on now taking the pro-Israel side on same show.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

Thanks, I look forward to seeing Condi. She is one smart lady.

[tom paine 2]

It is a reference to the Herman Wouk novel The Caine Mutiny, in which the insane paranoid Capt Queeg goes on a rant about someone stealing strawberries out of the officers mess. McCain=Queeg

[mafree]

Since when did Pretty Boy Edwards become such an expert on Afghanistan? I also can't belive he'd equivocate on whether or not Arafart is responsible for some of the problems in the ME (Did I hear that right?)

[Alas Babylon!]

Well Tom, a slight correction. It's more a reference to the movie based on the book. The way Humphrey Bogart clenched his jaw, twirlled his steel marbles in his hand while under oath, talking rather insanely about who stole the strawberries and why only he was correct seemd to many to be exactly like McCain complaining about how Bush smeared him during the South Carolina primary. Lot's of FReepers pointed this out then, and the comparision stuck. Actually, if you watch the movie, you'll be hardpressed not to see McCain in Queeg. It's funny, really.
