[Alas Babylon!]

Added Chris Matthews Show and CSPAN.

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

No Kerry TROOPS reporting for Sunday duty....gone AWOL?

[sarasotarepublican]

Another negative Bush Sunday. I won't be watching.

[tirednvirginia]

I won't be watching CBS or CSPAN. Ed Kennedy and Ann Lewis is too much to stomach on this beautiful Sunday morning in Virginia.

[netmilsmom]

Good morning!
Checking in!

[M Kehoe]

Nothing to see here, I'll just move along...but where? I guess I'm a captive audience this morning...sheesh.

Aye, it's going to be "bash Bush" Sunday AGAIN on most channels. Chuck Hagel is worse than Joe Beiden as far as I'm concerned. I wish Hagel would just join the Democrats where he belongs.

[mathluv]

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.

[auboy]

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

[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.

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

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..

[maica]

The guest list is really bad when even Fox has to resort to Biden. I have to mute the whiner. I will never willingly listen to his voice in this lifetime.

However, to have him as the counterbalance to Colin Powell illustrates the weakness of the Dem bench.

[TC Rider]

LOL, "Senator Biden, I really think you should stick with the decaf".

Nice to see Chris smack around the petulant Biden.

[JustaCowgirl]

Abizaid did a terrific job on Meet the Press. And Russert game him time and opportunity to make his case.

Mauro on Fox was a snake. You could just see him looking for every opportunity to make the President look like a jerk.

[chiller]

The pundits on Mathews show rotate every week. Your lineup was last week's. This week we had Katty Kay (BBC/US), Andrea Mitchell, unfamiliar Atlantic columnist and a 4th. Norah O'D, iirc.

I almost always see it Saturday at 5, so I'll attempt to forward the pundits to you at that time.

[MNJohnnie]

Figures SEE BS would have that gross pile of has been political crap Kennedy on. What POSSIBLE reason can there be to put that twit on? Like we haven't heard Kennedy's anti-troops, anti-American rant a thousands times before. Just one time, JUST ONE TIME, I wish some reporter would have the guts to say, "Senator Kennedy, don't you think your posturing for the camera has crossed the line from legitimate political discourse into giving aid and comfort to an enemy that chops off the heads of civilian captives?"

[shrinkermd]

So far the RATS are true to form. They have two lies that are consistent. The first is the war in Iraq is lost or in the process of being lost. Even Krystal gives the "losing war" some credence. The second lie best put by David Broder in today's paper is that the Swift Boar Veterans have been proved wrong. This second lie needs repeating and repeating since it is hard to accept if you actually look at the facts. The first lie is really helped by the WAPO putting the increased number of attacks on Page 1. Of course, that is precisely what Al Queda and other murders in Iraq want.

The antidote for the two lies is simple. In respect to Iraq it is "We must not cut and run." In respect to the Swift Boat Veterans it is, "Have you read the book?"

Senator Kerry has been correctly labeled by the Swift Boat Veterans as a cowardly braggart. It helps that Senator Kerry has a boat named "Scaramouche". It summarizes not only his character but also the underpinnings of the RAT position.

If President Bush is as smart as I think he is he will take the following motto as his talisman in the debates--Keep it simple, stupid! Kerry uses words like levers to leverage people into becoming supporters. His words have no actual meaning and that is why he "flip flops" or says completely opposite things. As such he is a danger because people are not really knowledgeable about his past positions. To solve this President Bush need only to keep it simple, straight forward and to keep the moral high ground at all times. Simply putting out Kerry's inconsistent statements is not enough. The President must Affirm in the most positive way what his supporters know and believe regardless of whatever current lie Kerry comes up with.
