Pelosi and a Bush impersonator on MTP. Is this Russert's idea of balance?

[mathluv]

Even Fox will be hard to watch this morning.

[TomGuy]

Got a good morning chuckle on F & F when Eleanor Clift tried to compare Hillary Clinton -- like her or hate her -- to Ronald Reagan.

[By the 08 election cycle, the MSM supporters will have Hillary C appear to be the most conservative and saintly candidate in the field of either party. The remake is slowing progressing.]

[Morgan in Denver]

Good morning AB, and all. Thanks again for the thread.

[maica]

Larry Kudlow is hitting it out of the ballpark on CSPAN right now. He interviewed President Bush for about 20 minutes for his Friday show, and CNBC can't seem to find time to repeat it. Some of it can be seen on the MSNBC website.

Wake me in late '07/early '08...maybe then I'll watch...too much navel-gazing...

[Right_in_Virginia]

Good morning, and thanks for the thread.

I'm not sure I have enough Maalox in the house to watch Specter.

[putupjob]

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.

[Night Hides Not]

Thanks for your heads-up, Alas! Now I don't have any excuse for planting my begonias, and laying mulch down, this morning.

With the rain we've had in DFW over the past two days, it's still soggy. Unfortunately, there's no reason to watch this morning's shows.

One might say, "but you'll be missing Brit bitch-slapping Juan again". That's true, but Brit bitch-slaps Juan every Sunday.

Y'all have a great day.

Last week's special awards

[Fishtalk]

.; Sens. Joseph Biden, D-Del

I will begin my comment with this observation that this guy should be shipped out on a boat to live in Iraq.

Where, as Hairplugs suggests, the country should be split into Sunni, Kurdish and Shiite portions.

Folks, even Biden-who would sell his grandmother for a vote- believes such a thing will ever work. He is simply playing to public concern over the progress of the war and hoping that us idiots who carry this country on our backs will hear the sound byte and say "Ah, that's the ticket".

I suggest Biden live in his newly created Sunni part of Iraq. Because for sure the Sunnis, once having held all the power, will be all nice and polite and not cause any trouble for any other portions of Biden's proposed Iraq.

[Phsstpok]

The Fox web site still lists Gilchrist and doesn't mention Biden, but all other sources have dropped Gilchrist and added Biden, specifically for Biden to talk about his "new Iraq plan."

I trust Brit and/or Charles K get a chance to reduce the plagiarist to a quivering mass of tears.

[TomGuy]

MTP

Timmy has his serious frowny face on this morning.

[Mo1]

Doesn't sound like Hoekstra likes Hayden as a pick for the CIA Director

[TomGuy]

MTP

Have to admit, Russert is hitting Pelosi with some hard questions this morning.

[jennyjenny]

Who killed Krystol's dog? He seems to be taking this Goss thing personally.
