Absolutely agreed.
Of coure, the ultimate prize is President Bush, himself. Witness the hysteria over Enron and Harken. Clearly those were both attempts to try to take him down. The goal would be impeachment as revenge for x42, but they would probably be satisfied with a resignation ala Nixon.
Bozos! Do they realize yet they are dealing with an honest man and administration? The concept is so foreign to them they seem not to comprehend this.
But CSPAN does always forgo any outside programming to carry the house and senate live-that is part of their mission-and agreed to by the house and senate, at least as I understand it.
There is something going on there, tho. Because the change over the last couple of years has been fairly obvious.
I am excited to hear how Ann Coulter's interview with Brian Lamb on Booknotes goes. I guess it will be aired today. A full hour with Ann answering questions will actually give her an opportunity to get out her ideas and facts without interruption from the likes of goofy, lying, liberal jerks!
C-SPAN is run by Congress as a whole. Even if the GOP ran all of Congress, you wouldn't want to get away from non-partisanship, because the next time the Dems took over it would go the other way.
C-SPAN does a good job of getting people from both sides onto their programs, it's by far the fairest of all the "networks".
You were clear-I'm in a fog (per usual). No matter-the important thing is that you GOT a magnificent call in, one that posed a question containing the truth.....always a GOOD THING!! Sorry I got mixed up, lately there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between CSPAN and CNN from where I sit.
I don't think it is run by congress. CSPAN is allowed to have cameras running on the condition they always show the house and Senate in session is the only requirement.
That is why when interesting hearings are on CSPAN sticks with routine floor speeches instead of the hearing.
Back during impeachment some here speculated that some dems would take to the floor to drone on so CSPAN would have to delay showing any hearings to the middle of the night, exposing it to the least amount of viewers possible.
But Lieberman's mouth is way wierd! Talk about a wide mouth...always reminded me of a muppet.
This is like the debate big media tries to put on Fox News; that it's conservative. Well, maybe to them fair and balanced seems conservative, but that doesn't make it so. Fox News certainly has its share of high-level liberals; Greta, Geraldo, Mara, Juan.... But it also has Brit, Fred, Ollie, Tony, and O'Reilly, John Gibson, and Morton in the middle; in a word--ta da!!!!--BALANCED.
That is what I want for C-SPAN. Not to much to ask now, is it?
C-SPAN is funded and run by the cable companies of America. Think Ted Turner when you see how Presidential coverage changed from the previous administration to the current one.
“They’re the most lovable, laughable loonies by far, Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har!”
This show was originally on the "Hanna Barbera New Cartoon Show". A con artist lion named Lippy and his adventures with his pessimistic sidekick, Hardy Har Har the laughing hyena.
No. Wrong. Completely private. Funded by cable companies. C-SPAN has NO, zip, zero, nada operational connection to the government.
The whole concept is ludicrous...you can't expense options unless you have a crystal ball telling you exactly what price the stock will be 3-10 years from now when the exercise.
Their best shot is to continue doing what they're doing: trying to raise taxes, increase regulation, dumb down the populace, empower trial lawyers, shoehorn their supporters into every facet of the economy via "affirmative action", etc.
Who knew?! Pez makes candy dispensers in the likenesses of Dan Blather, Timmy Russert and the perky Katie Couric!
