Ping

The Weekend Preview Thread is up

If you would like on or off my ping list please Freepmail me

There are actually a few interesting guests for me this week.  Will the MSM promote Bill Richardson or trash him as a threat to Hillary (depends on if he is to be Hillary's VP)?  Will MTP give Richard Neuhaus and Joel Osteen the opportunity to speak on what they want to, or will they be funneled into the MSM talking points?  And will Klein and Gingrich surprise the MSM and fight back, providing sound bites that need to be suppressed?

The dominant meme appears to be that Bush the GOP West is so over, let's look to his their it's replacement by our new Islamic overlords and ignore everything he they says say and do does that ever came out of western civilization from now on (unless it hurts Bush).  Oh, and we've lost in Iraq, let's go home now.
