When Hillary gets up and running hard with the old media at her back and promoting and protecting her at every chance, I wonder if they will be telling us that she has "gravitas".
;-)
Would love to be the fly on the wall to watch Russert give his deposition. These guys don't do well when it's not scripted and when they are not in control.
Yes, Carolinamom his wife too. Some of his deserting colleagues should scare him.
Request please anyone who is, has or intends to record the Dick Cheney interview to DVD could you please let me have a copy as I cannot get Face the Nation in the UK.
Thank you very much in advance.

Yes. Me too. At least I don't have to teach catechism today; we're off due to Spring break in these locales. I see you "favorite" senator Dick Lugar is on today. Wonder if he'll spout off on Bush like a good dem/MSM tool (that he doesn't even realize he is) this morning?
The media seems afraid to mention the "C" word. They think it smacks of McCarthyism (they are well trained).
Ugh. Julian is pushing the polls again, aided by the "acting-too-cute-for-her-age" Alyson Kamerada.
Casey is slowly taking over Timmy's show.
timmy is such a jerk.
"....It's as if the war isn't going badly enough for the media, and they feel the need to create their own negative storyline."
Timmy boy and the rest of the other MSM pundits have been "cronkiting" us all this time. The problem is, many of us have refused to be "cronkited".
Hi MM,
I'm interested in hearing Turbin too. Here's what a couple of 'Presential hopefuls' (Romney and Weasley Clark) had to say. BTW, I may have missed in on FR, but this is the first I've heard that Bill Richardson was doing a little campaigning (though many of us suspected he'd be she who shall not be named's running mate):
Presidential Hopefuls Take Opposing Sides on Iraq
Sunday, March 19, 2006
CONCORD, N.H. — Two potential presidential candidates agreed Saturday that there's no easy way out of Iraq, but they took widely different approaches to the challenge.
Islamic Jihadists want to destroy American's economy and its superpower status, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told a group of Republican women in Concord.
"Fortunately we have a president who recognizes how severe this threat is and realizes we have to wage war against such tactics and such a vision," he said.
Now is not the time to cut and run in Iraq, Romney added.
"To do so would leave the Iraqis in a setting where extreme violence could ensue and it would be irresponsible for us to change a regime, cause the collapse of their system of security, and walk away," he said.
Another possible candidate, retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, said at New England College that preventing civil war in Iraq will require America's political influence, not just its military force.
Clark, who sought the Democratic nomination for president in 2004, said the United States should be pushing Shiite Muslims to include Sunnis in the government and to ensure that the country's oil wealth is shared by all.

"It is a political problem primarily, not a military one," he said on the third anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion
Clark opposed setting a pullout date for American military forces.
"If we pull out before there's stability in Iraq, before there's been peacemaking between the Sunnis and the Shi'as, I do think the likelihood is we'll have deeper conflict and it will become regional in scale."
Clark noted that the tensions between the two major Muslim sects extend beyond Iraq.
"That's a 1,300-year civil war within Islam that's being fought out in Iraq right now," he said.
Neither he nor Romney said anything about their own plans for 2008, saying they were campaigning for other candidates.
A third possible contender, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat, was starting a three-day tour of New Hampshire.

I saw FOX covering the French riot... but whenever I switched to CNN... I kept seeing US, Iraq protesters. Did CNN devote any time to the mayhem in Paris?
Got to get moving. I will return as soon as I can. I hope someone takes good notes!
Timmy is so stupid. "What is the problem?" Who does Timmy think he is? Casey's superior?
"this time it is Frenchmen"
LOL! I wonder if anyone in the studio will point out his "discrimination"
Morning Anita running a bit late this morning
Speaking of incompetence, I'd like to see someone quiz old Wesley Clark about Kosovo a little bit.
Gen Casey is standing up quite well to Fat Boy Timmmy.
