Yah Juan, like THAT's believable.
What a maroon.
Has anyone on these shows mentioned the 48,000 boxes from Iraq yet ???
LOL!
Thanks again Laverne. You're the best!
I think Juan read DU for his NEWS.....
Murtha says the President has to come to congress to do ANYTHING, much less go to war. That's a new one.
GRRRRREAT point!
Chris Matthews Sunday Show (shown 6 am in Atlanta. I wonder if it's taped on Friday or Saturday)
"Watch your back". Is Bush facing an insurgency from his base?, Matthews asked.
"endangered species" = Big city newspapers, so Chris Matthews does get this one right. His last segment, The Philadelphia Inquirer is up for sale, makes Chris oh so sad.
Is Bush losing his rock solid conservative base? Matthews cites polls to prove it.
Not rock bottom yet, Matthews says, then compares him to Nixon polls which were lower.
David Gregory says yes, the White House is worried. "they are worried", Gregory says.
Andrew Sullivan says Bush base is more worried about spending. This administration is spending like there's no tomorrow, of course Bush base is upset, says Sullivan. Gregory disputes Sullivan on this, he says Iraq is the reason Republicans are unhappy with Bush.
Elisabeth Bumiller, NYT says republicans in congress who are very angry with Bush, left out to dry, no conversation, much frustration, she says, between congress and Bush. Matthews wonders if Bush's religion is at fault. Rigid, won't change, sure he's right, are Matthews' examples. "Are people upset with Bush's incompetence?", Matthews asked.
Cynthia Tucker, Atlanta JOurnal says, "Yess, they are upset with his incompetence". It's as if use of the word, "incompetence:" was very scripted. Tucker goes off on Bush incompetence after Matthews set her up.
Then Gregory goes further, describing how Bush is sooooo incompetent.
Sullivan's example of Bush stubbornness is that he wouldn't put more troops in Iran even after all his experts and everyone else called for just that.
Sulllivan asked "how many people has Bush fired?". "None" is the answer. all the people who got Iraq right are gone, the people left are the ones who gave Bush bad advice.
The entire first segment of the show is total Bush bash. Stunning!
Matthews asks, "Doesn't Bush need his party?".
Elizabeeth Bumiller says the White House is run by about 5 people. Sullivan says the White House is exhausted. Bumiller says they've been in crisis mode since Sept 11.
Bumiller says Bush is taking the long view on his popularity.
folks, the most Bush friendly person on the show is David Gregory.

"Guerillas on the web", Matthews 2nd segment:
it's about how the left, George Soros specifically, is using the web.
Last election, dems got half their donations through the web, said Matthews.
Matthews theme in this segment is the question: Is Hillary threatened by Feingold and the left because of the power of the web? He doesn't get an answer from this panel.
_________
Tell Chris something he doesn't know segment
Tucker says republicans are looking for issues to get their base out, like gay marriage.
Pastry chef at white house resigned, said Busmiller.
Andrews on Cruise and South Park.
(I got up at 6 am for this???????)
Great pick here SC and something you will never see on the MSM.
As a senator, Durbin has nothing to do with impeaching the president. His is the kind of low-class, not bright approach we expect from an Illinois democrat hack in the tradition of the Daley family. He is not aware of even the basic aspects of congressional responsibilities.
Everything Murtha says shows just how little regard he has for our military. It's dispicable.
The Democrats seem to think it was
That or they are trying to rewrite history
My pleasure, thanks.
OOOOOH! Can you believe the gall of the man???? After all our hard work.

Dream on EC, 35 hours til Jack.
Here is hoping you are correct. :-)
"There is no news out of Iraq. In spite of all the claims of impending civil war, we are losing and so forth and so on, the actual news is zilch."
I'm only half listening to Murtha, which is a good thing, because some of the lies he's spewing are really increasing my BP! What an old fool!
I suspect Murtha and Timmy haven't seen these:
