I'm watching C-SPAN - seems to me every 2nd caller put on the air is against the speech. I think that's ridiculous, considering CSPAN is without a doubt getting a WHOLE LOT MORE calls in support of the speech than in opposition to it. Is this a an official CSPAN policy?

Why is it that most of the people on C-SPAN disagreeing w/ the Pres have a Foreign accent?

[Cough.] : )

I thought Tony Snow just referred to x42's speeches as mostly being around the phrase, "I didn't..."


lol

Well, remember the guy in Kuwait who threw the grenade in an officer's tent and killed two of our best and brightest? We can't forget that there are people who practice islam in the military. The SS is doing their job. There's been tight security as long as I can remember - even when Dubya was campaigning. It's nothing new. They have kewl leather bomber jackets, don't you agree?

Speaking of five stars, I sure think Tommy Franks has earned his fifth. That would be sweet.

PBS is being investigated by Congress right now for such behavior. Perhaps CSPAN will be next ...

Matthews suffers from Lingering Camelot Syndrome. It blinds him from seeing how low his party has sunk

There are times when I think there is hope for Chris and then is sinks back to the gutter with the Lib.

Chris often mentions Jack B.Kelly from Philly .. My grandfather use to be good friends with him until there was a huge fall out .. not sure exeactly what happen but my mom says there were never allowed to mention his name around the house after that

[terilyn]

LOL! Tony did say that. That was great!

[El Gato]

BEAUTIFUL LANDING!!!,

Which wire did he catch? :)

[deport]

Yep..... he's having a good time for sure... bet he shucks that suit/tie as soon as he gets below deck.... back to the jumpsuit or something like that for the rest of the stay/chow, etc.

[Fracas]

Excellent point.

I hope Chretien, Schroeder, Vlad and Blixie are watching.

[liberalnot]

w is s-o-o cool! i actually had chills up and down my spine.


can you imagine a clinton-puken doing the same, i mean with the same spirit. the clintons obviously went aboard american warships but they treated the u.s. military like dirt. remember when hillary had the military staff serving snacks at the white house?

[VAVERA]

the leather jackets are cool. I also like the ear pieces. I wonder if they listened to baseball games on the pieces when Klinton was our acting pres?

4th....

[nicmarlo]

He is STILL out there shaking hands!

Tony Snow said the President was only supposed to be shaking hands for 4 -5 minutes....but that he knew better, lol!
