MTP might be interesting, but I think I will stick with FNS.

[Pusterfuss]

...Maria Bartiromo, Wall Street Journal Report

Alomst enough to get me to watch the spittle-fountain.

[DoctorMichael]

Will it be rerun?

I saw the intro yesterday but passed up on it as it was on at the same time as HBOs presentation of Grisham's RUNAWAY JURY (Hoffman, Cue-sick) which I forced myself to watch having heard the 'back-story' about evil gun manufacturers was pretty bad..........It was worse than I thought [LOL]: Preachy, slanted, Hard Leftist.

I should have watched Russert.

[randita]

WHERE have all of Kerry's advisors and campaign handerls gone?

Where has Lanny Davis gone? He was all over the airwaves before the conventions and I haven't seen him since. I don't watch CNN, however, and he might be living there.

[ride the whirlwind]

I heard some of it too. Sullivan said he'll probably be writing in McCain/Lieberman when he votes.

[auboy]

Thanks for the listings, AB. How y'all doing over there?

[Carolinamom]

Maddie Albright won't go away, will she?

[JustaCowgirl]

The pukability factor on that Chris Matthews show is going to be off the charts. Practically guaranteed to produce internal bleeding in any red-blooded American.

I never watch the interview portion of these shows - the guests points of view on all the major issues are too predictable.
However,I never miss the last half hour of Fox News Sunday. It's amusing to watch poor old predictable Juan Williams trying to defend John Kerry while sucking feverishly on his bottle of KoolAid between sentences.
I watched a bit of the Hitchens/ Sullivan discussion with Russert and agree it is the most interesting of all the shows, just because their views are not so predictable. Hitchens, while still a full blown, dyed in the wool Marxist, has had a personal falling out with some of his fellow travelers because he sees terrorism as a major threat which, for the time being at least, makes him a Bush supporter. Sullivan is a Republican at heart but he is gay and broke with Bush on his support to make gay marriage unconstitutional. So for Sullivan this one issue transcends even national security which shows you just how deep his thinking goes.

Somebody named Jeanne took over the networks.

That's my sister Jean. We've been giving her a hard time because of the hurricanes. Her husband's name really happens to be Charlie.

[Alas Babylon!]

We're fair to middlin'. How 'bout them Tigers? War Eagle!

[DoctorMichael]

Damn! No reruns today.

[Carolinamom]

Powell refuses to take Chris Wallace's bait of commenting on the political campaign. Good for him.

[Calvin Locke]

Where has Lanny Davis gone?

Maybe the producers have finally listened to the numbers guys, and realized that whenever Lanny Davis is on, the channel
is changed.

They could have Davis on to talk about, say a meteorite hitting his house, and he would be repeating the DNC talking
points - Bush, Cheney, Haliburton - Bush, Cheney, Haliburton -...

[anita]

It was Christopher Hitchens came out strong supporting Bush, though he mentioned he was a liberal. He said that his father served in Navy & he said that Real Veterans don't brag about medals like Kerry. I never seen anyone like him strongly defending Bush on Afganistan & Iraq. Before him, Sullivan & Russert appeared like dirt.

[Solamente]

Looks like I'll be listening to Steve Malzberg on AM 77 WABC.

[detrik]

I listened to NPR radio this morning, and they were talking about bloggers, i guess there is a big articile in todays NEWSWEEK magazine..havent bought it yet..

[Bahbah]

Russert is trying to turn Iraq into Nam. How can we win when the populace is fighting against us. Gen. Abizaid is doing a great job in his responses. Essentially saying don't believe everything you read in the press.LOL
