David Corn is a writer for Nation Magazine, the far left publication that supported the communists throughout the Cold War. Oddly enough, Corn's comments are rather mainstream in what I believe is his first outing on Fox News Sunday.

[SkyPilot]

From Paul's (his real name) website:

”Today, he counts --and has counted-- among his numerous acquaintances and friends such names and faces as Brian Eno, Luciano Pavarotti, Sting and Trudie Styler, Quincy Jones, Tina Turner, Bjork, President Bill Clinton, Jack Nicholson, Mohammed "Mo" Sacirbey, U-N Secretary General Kofi Annan, Frank and Barbara Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Salman Rushdie, Sean Penn, David Bowie, Van Morrison, Sir Bob Geldof, Phil Joanou, Johnny Cash, Billy Corgan, William Gibson, and Muhammad Ali.

Despite the obvious privilege of his lifestyle, Bono continues to display a generosity and genuine nature that is impressive to both friends and fans alike...the kind of person who could work a roomful wealthy socialites, then stop to chat with fans on the street about music, and then be seen giving cash handouts to the homeless.

Oh, please.

[SCHROLL]

I wonder why 'Taterhead didn't ask him about his tax return? Could it be the airline bailout added to Linda and Tommy's bottomline a bit to much to try and rationalize it to the public? Honestly Timmy asked a bit more than I thought he would in getting Daschle to admit he had the same info available to him as Bush did.

[BlueAngel]

Juliet Cuddy is a total ditz. She must be related to someone important to have gotten that job.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Did anyone else see how they totally botched describing the Dan Rather/Imus/John Ashcroft dust-up from last week?

Saw the botch...missed the dust up.

Is there a link to the actual story?

[alnick]

Well, I am happy to know that Jeff Cohen is gone. I saw Korn on in place of Cohen yesterday and was hoping that that meant that Cohen is gone for good. I can't stand Korn either, but Cohen makes me want to throw bricks into my TV set.

Daschle;the elf of so.d.Tiny man tiny brain BIG COMMIE

[Alas Babylon!]

"Despite the obvious privilege of his lifestyle..."

This is true about EVERY Hollywierd & celebrity loud-mouth in the Western world. They got their's, and now they're gonna tell the rest of us how to live frugally to protect the Earth and the downtrodden. Instead of cash handouts, you'd think they'd donate their MILLIONS of $$$ to their pet causes. Hell no! They want us, via corporate and government largess, to do it.

Hypocrites!!!!!

[bird humming]

Last week Cheney was so straight-talking. Answered the questions & then some! Tommy is incapable of giving a straight answer, as is Billy Clinton. You Smarms! Be danged!

[Amelia]

Juliet Cuddy is a total ditz. She must be related to someone important to have gotten that job.

Yeah, but she's so cute! And she wears those short skirts, etc.!

I think they have her on there as much to attract male viewers as anything else.

[Young Werther]

Russert did a fine job of making DASS HOLE back down.

I have one question. How many DC Yellow Pages is DASS HOLE sitting on?

[denydenydeny]

The Fox panel left mostly unchallenged the assertion by Maura's fill-in that the arms reduction treaty from the meeting was not large enough.

A year ago the Left was screaming that the abrogation of the ABM treaty would cause a "new arms race." I guess that talking point has been forgotten.

[marajade]

She's an entertainment reporter... movies... Give her a break...

[The Raven]

I turned on the TV and there was Daschle.

Everyone in the family leaped for the remote at the same time and we nearly had a mass-head-banger.

I saved the day by turning the set off by puilling the plug.

There needs to be government warnings on Sunday talk shows.

[marajade]

Doing the weather ain't as easy as it looks... Its mostly computerized and its backwards so it takes some getting used too...

[bird humming]

Thanks for the commentary! Yes, why wasn't Timmy asked about his income taxes? Had it been Cheney or Lott or Condi, Timmy would have been rakin' them over the coals! That very subject has been hot on FR all week!! Like you say, Linda Dasshole's lobbying efforts/monetary gains would prolly be too corn-fusing for flyover country citizens like me...

[JENINMO]

It's on right now, please tell me this isn't a "one man show" a full hour of Daschle might kill me........

[Forgiven_Sinner]

I turned on MTP toward the end and saw Doris Kearns Goodwin and David Broder with Tim R. I thought, "They should rename this show "Meet the Liberals"". It seems more appropriate now I learn that I "missed" Tom Daschel.

[Right_in_Virginia]

No...Daschle has to share the air time (thank God)

[Huck]

It's interesting. I recall Russert saying his rule of thumb is to "take the other side" of whomever he is interviewing. I decided to watch the show today and see how well he does that. I have to say, he is really pummeling Daschle. He's doing a good job.
