Well, I had Larry King on until he announced Madeline Albright, so I switched back to Fox, just in time to hear Newt getting hysterical again. (I think he's been on Fox at least five times today).

Boy, am I glad the site is back up! I was getting the heeby-jeebies!

Today's events have validated my reasons for not watching Hissssssy Matthews.

I've never thought all that spit was good for the inside of my television screen, but tonight I decided to watch him for a while. It was that or Shep...

Anyway, enough hisssssy spit ran out of the TV that it shorted something in the computer below it, and I haven't been able to get onto FreeRepublic for a long time.

So there, MSNBC!

I'm of two minds about Newt. He's articulate and intelligent...he's got the "vision thing"...but Lordy sometimes he's just over the top.

Talk about heebie jeebies...I just saw the latest report on Fox about attack in Lebanon...and when I hit FR..I was PRAYING..it was back up.

MM...you and I may be the most disgusted with Newt..I haven't seen any other freepers that have posted much about him...but, like you, I am about to scream everytime I hear his "holier than thou" speech about what Bush SHOULD do...

I saw him once at a restaurant in Tyson's Corner (VA). He was there for brunch with his wife. I remember there was a wait to be seated and I had to tell the hostess who he was - she was going to seat him but he said he would rather wait up front for his wife.

Someone the other day (can't remember who) said that one thing he has learned about Gingrich is that he doesn't have the patience to let a plan come to fruition. The minute the bullets start to fly, he goes off in a tirade and wants to change course. That's what he's doing tonight. It's like he thinks a lot of talking on the TV is going to change the cours of events.

He did the same thing during Katrina. Jumped right onto the TV and started griping about Bush's response. I haven't forgotten, and I can guarantee that if he shows his face in Iowa he is going to get some pointed questions about his behavior.

Actually, I don't give a fig about how you feel.

Just be nice to your peers and don't sass the mods. I like this thread and it is flowing nicely now.

See my post 2030. I agree, and I have had it with him.

Thankfully Netenyahu is on now.

Ha! Colmes asks about restraint, and Netenyahu tells him they aren't using even a fraction of what they've got!

" Today's events have validated my reasons for not watching Hissssssy Matthews."

You mean you didn't appreciate Matthews, Andrea Mitchell and some effete WaPo guy getting the vapors because President Bush used the S word ?
Or perhaps it's the MSALJazeera promo for Scarborough - " Did President Bush's profanity damage chances for peace in the Mideast ??? " ( I am not making this up. )
