Kudlow is almost always right on target. He's a grownup and has some historical perspective. Good man.
ROFLLLLLL!!!
Great pic to start my morning!
For the 6th week, Betsy Fischer knocked Nicolle Wallace's door without success, getting ANYONE from WH. Betsy Fischer is executive producer of MTP. After all this "Exclusive with Nanci Pelosi" is joke.
Will Russert pound Nancy Pelosi about atleast her colleagues' problems, like:
» William Jefferson (Nigerian money scandal)
» Mullahan (non-profit foundation scandal)
» Patrick Kennedy (known to all)
» Jon Conyers (his wife's bar fight)
Also interesting, how conflicted, his panel members are. Todd Purdum is the husband of Dee Dee Myers, who when fired from NYTimes, was hired by Russert's editor wife at Vanity Fair. Dan Balz(who in 2004 predicted that is Kerry's race to lose) is taking a buy-out from WP and (possibly)looking for a job again from Russert's wife.
Good morning, DoctorMichael. I watched Michael Tomasky. Among other things, he agrees that the media are in the pocket of the Administration and that they tried to do a blackout on Stephen Colbert's execrable appearance and the correspondents' dinner. A total loon.
Good morning, and thanks for the thread.
I'm not sure I have enough Maalox in the house to watch Specter.
MSM is, once again, about three months behind the curve. The prospects of the GOP Painting the Map Red have increased dramatically in just the past month.
LK: I have never seen him better, Hugh, and I've known him for over 20 years. In fact, he and I used to room together at a golf outing in California for a couple of years. This goes back to the middle 80's. And he was relaxed, he was calm, he was optimistic. When I challenged him during this interview, he was more than happy to come back to me and defend his positions. He looked well rested. I mean, I was very, very impressed. I've had a bunch of phone calls that people said they've never seen him look better.
The interesting thing was after the cameras went down, he stayed with me for another 25 minutes in the same chair. And we start taking back and forth. He wants to talk. And we're talking about goofy Republicans in the Senate, and how they're departing from first principles. We talked about the war, which he thinks we are winning. We talked about the economy and the tax cut strategy. I mean, he just stayed there and talked when the cameras were off. It was absolutely fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.
The economy is cooking. The government in Iraq is forming. The battle over the judges has begun again. The tax cuts will get to the president's desk soon. And the immigration debate seemws to have settled on this center-right proposition. So the corner has been turned.
"Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Republican party??!!!"
He is very refreshing.
yeah, okay......
someone must have spiked my coffee......
A Bush impersonator on NBC? Did I read that right? Up until now, they at least used to pretend that these Sunday morning shows were news and commentary shows.
Wow. How about that? Thanks for the insights from Kudlow- they're reassuring.
Sounds like Mr Tomasky needs to change pharmacists..
John McCain really needs to go home to Arizona. There are reports on the internet that people are fencing off property near the border. Illegals are pouring in, the understanding is that if they can get here in the next few months they will be granted citizenship.
How come the MSM isn't covering this?
Or spend a weekend with Patches.
You know the answer.
As I understand it, one part of the plan is to get rid of the new Medicare presciption thingy. This will be interesting because I am hearing more and more about this and it is turning out that, once people work through the complexities and sign up, they really, really like it, AND the cost is coming in below projections due to the competition which appears to be built into it. I even saw a piece that said that 90% of those who have signed on love the program.
Sounds like Mr Tomasky needs to change pharmacists..
blame it on Ambien....it works for the Kennedy's.......
I guess, as opposed to Meet the Press's completely Liberal lineup, Larry Kudlow (on now) was booked for equal time.
