[Alas Babylon!]

As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

[Miss Marple]

I see CBS has their usual bi-partisan line-up.

[Knightsofswing]

I see that the usal suspects are out today. Let see if I do not get ill watching these yahoos give their lies and spin. I can not wiat for Bill on Fox on Monday.

[boomop1]

Not a one worth wasting time on, all will lament the tax cut especially McNut.

[SkyPilot]

Chris Dodd? I guess the other half of the Kennedy "Waitress Sandwhich" needs to massage his precious ego. Stephie will be sure to placate him.

[YaYa123]

Well, for sure, conservatives have given up on C-Span.
How else could C-Span air 6 callers in a row who think the war was not a success?
I counted.

[Carolinamom]

Such a realistic picture!!

[YaYa123]

And the one email C-Span read on the air did state the war was a success because it turned out exactly as Bush and Cheney wanted...with a big contract for Haliburton.

But don't bother calling in to criticize C-Span. They hang up on you.

[Piquaboy]

I gave up watching these shows when they started making me sick. Especially the fair and balanced show of Steponallofus.

[McGruff]

Our local Fox channel is broadcasting the Children's Miracle Network fundraiser instead of Fox News Sunday. I'll have to catch it later on Fox News Channel.

[StriperSniper]

Part of the problem was that Steve was using the headline from the Philadelphia Inquirer, the screen had the question from the opposite side. One caller did point that out.

[Carolinamom]

Hatch and Schumer are duking it out on the Estrada nomination.....once again. Schumer maintains that Estrada "stonewalled". Tony asked him what question he wanted Estrada to answer. Schumer's answer involved Estrada's views on topics/cases which Estrada said he could not answer because they might be future concerns before the court. Typical liberal trap: if Estrada had commented on the cases, liberals would disqualify him for THAT.

[maica]

If I hear Orrin Hatch say one more time how Schumer is his 'good friend' I am going to have to drive over to the Capitol and smack him!

And why doesn't he have a better comeback to the "126 of 128 confirmed" factoid that Chuckie throws out every time. Most of those judges are low level positions. The number of circuit court nominees who have made it out of committee would be a better stat for Orrin to quote back at Chuckie?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Looks like only CNN is going after the current Hot Question, "Did Bush, Blair, Powell, Rumsfeld lie about Saddam having WMD?"

[The Raven]

>>I see CBS has their usual bi-partisan line-up.

Conservative and liberal Democrats

[leprechaun9]

I am sure there is little chance of Step-on-the-populace asking Senator Dud(D-CT) of his efforts with Fowler as Co-chairs of the DNC in 1996 in the money bag campaign scam!

Fowler ended up with the blame because Senator Dud was a member of the "Bob and Billie" Club (formerly the U.S. Senate).

[jtmckee]

I thought tony did a fine job on that idiot schumer

Anyone who listened heard tony say "that just isnt true" to me that means you are a liar

[firewalk]

[Right_in_Virginia]

Looks like only CNN is going after the current Hot Question, "Did Bush, Blair, Powell, Rumsfeld lie about Saddam having WMD?"

If they have the evidence, why aren't they presenting it? I'm sure there's a reason...but I don't see what it can be. Any ideas?

[maica]

Where does Juan get his information? It must be from some parallel universe. Now he said that President Bush is going to the Middle East because bigwig Jews in the US have told him to go!
