[Miss Marple]

If Hillary is supporting this, she has already seen the numbers. I believe she gets the info first.

She is going to try to position herself just slightly to the left of President Bush, with a wink and a nod to all of her ultra-left supporters.

Her mantra will be that you can get the same policies but also have a woman president!! Neato!!

I don't believe for a minute that she isn't running. She is a liar.

Graham was so bad I couldn't help laughing. But what was even worse was his comments on "closed door security briefings" regarding whetehr or not Iraq was informed by the Bush administration of the consequences should Hussein deploy CB.

First off, if they were "closed door security briefings" why is he discussing them. And second, why did he misrepresent them to the American public.

What a twit.

[jwalsh07]

And Hill responded, "Tim, Bill has the perfect cojones for my preferred sex partner...NONE"!

LOL, yep, that's about the size of it.

[Right_in_Virginia]

What if this cretin actually is elected president?

[sam_paine]

That is interesting. On the Roundtable at FOX SUNDAY, that is exactly what Bill Krystal said she would do.

I think Krystal has sure turned around on Bush since his McPain experience. I think he is truly impressed with the Bush political machine and is dying to get on board. I dunno.

[Don Munn]

"What if this cretin actually is elected president?"

You will enter a Socialist State with cradle to grave social programs.

This will be done to end the middle class. The greatest threat to socialists,aka Democrats.

[AF68]

Don't forget, Hillary sez no one has has done more to fight terrorism than Bill Clinton...blah blah...Oh, Tim...bow wow woof woof...

[TracyPA]

The "Oh Tim" was the answer to Russert asking if she would run in 2008. Hillary said absolutely no run for president in 2004. When asked about 2008, Hillary said she had no plans. Tim replied that wasn't a no-then she giggled (GAG) and coyly laughed "Oh Tim".

[jwalsh07]

What if this cretin actually is elected president?

I suppose we'll have to pull up stakes and head south of the Mason Dixon line.

[Right_in_Virginia]

"Oh, Tim...let's not make this a political issue"

Then why the hell did they force the president to respond to their lies and inuendos during the month of August????

[Right_in_Virginia]

Ah...I can picture the line of SUVs now.

[sam_paine]

Actually, the direct Powell quote was that these are hypotheticals that are "charming to talk about on late night talk shows....."

ZINGER!

(I do think it's sad that Russert has to run clips from Letterman....will clips of Limbaugh be far behind??? Ha!)

[mware]

I was wondering if Timmy was going to play the clip where Clinton said he goes into his room and blows all the time.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Powell's response WAS great...a real b!t#h slap dripping in sarcasm.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when this administration talks in private about the Clintoons.

[Numbers Guy]

Having said that, Iraq should be attacked first. It is the logical first dominoe to fall, and makes for the best staging area for further operations into Iran, or Saudi Arabia. (and don't think for a second those options are not being reserved by the administration)

Agreed. Besides, Iran is already pretty close to tipping anyway, because the mullahs are in trouble. An overthrow of a regime next door should be the final push needed to produce a pro-western Iran.

[goodolemr]

During the ABC News Roundtable, one of the commentators cast the Democratic strategy of ‘asking questions’ in the debate over Iraq perfectly. He said what the Democrats are doing isn’t a debate, it’s an interview. I let out a large laugh when he said it.

[BigWaveBetty]

Hehehe!

Ahh, but by the end she wriggled out of her hawk costume and said we need to repeal the tax cut so we can fund the war.

[mware]

Georgie is playing the clip of our President to Tiny Tom.

GEORGE: Are you prepared to vote on resolution?

Tom: The President has not asked us to.

LOL, showing exerpt from NEW REPUBLIC, saying that Dem's should vote before the election to let the people know where everyone stands.

[sam_paine]

I rarely play on the Sunday Morning thread, but today has been great, because it alerted me to Hillary on MTP, since I am behind everyone by an hour here. I will hear out Powell and then switch it off. I don't think I can handle "Oh Tim" from Witchery today!!!! Normally I can stomach her, like the bloody surgery shows on DSC...but not today!!!!!!!!!

[OldFriend]

I heard Warner and sat there in amazed disbelief!! Pleasant surprise because he cannot always be counted on to do the right thing.

As for Cleland, I am thrilled to know there is hope of his being replaced by a true patriot.
