p>The Talk Shows
Sunday, August 20th, 2006
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.; airport security consultant Rafi Ron; Rand Beers, former presidential counterterrorism adviser; Washington Nationals co-owner Mark Lerner.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.; British Home Secretary John Reid; Spike Lee, director of the documentary "When the Levees Broke."
LATE EDITION (CNN) : Sens. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Iraqi Industry Minister Fawzi al-Hariri.
I totally agree with you that people see McCain as too dangerous and unstable to be POTUS. He has done this to himself. It is not part of anyone's campaign. He snapped at Maria Schriver (Swartzenegger), he can't set aside grudges and grievances, he is churlish, he holds his breath and turns blue when he doesn't get his way (all the while also holding key legislation or appointees hostage). Enough people have witnessed this. Too bad folks like Zook don't see it, but his support for President is marginal.
Hillary needs a "conservative" to run with. Hagel, a red stater, is a natural. He will wait till after the election but then?
A flip to the RATS would be the biggest and best news the RATS could hope for.
Thanks. Glad you're here too. I chuckle when people refer to McCain as the Manchurian Candidate because there may be some connection to the way he acts now as a result of the torture, or at least captivity, he suffered in Hanoi Hilton. Of course there are stories he received favored treatment due to his Dad and Granddad both being Admirals. I'd say his main problem is malignant narcissism.
Beyond being clever, Senator Hagel may have undergone a personal or political epiphany that he can't wait to fill us in on.
The phrase "selling out for personal gain" comes to mind.
"I'd say his main problem is malignant narcissism."
Hello,
Good call. It does not matter how he got to this point, he must not become POTUS. EVER.
Glad to be here, MOgirl
#513 ain't that the truth...
#515, just think of a rescued beaten hound dog with delusions of grandeur.
"What a duo,Barf, and Hurl....."
Hahaha! They make quite a pair alright!! yikes!!
#516, I do not have any faith in any Democrat to keep us safe because they are not led by men of Courage,they are led by People who can relate to Del Shannon's 1960's hit song "Runaway". I do not care how many Democrats that are fairly conservative try to paint this Picture differently,leadership in their Party are not out to protect us,they are Pro Terrorist/anti American,and only interested in getting back their Power,and keeping it for as long as they can. It is sad that there are any decent Democrats left in the Party of Pelosi,Hillary,Chuckie.
#517, I am with you on this. Even Police Officers would rather be up against a Big Guy with a gun than a 5ft2" 100 lb. mentally ill person. Imagine a Guy that is not up to speed mentally with all the stress of the Presidency. I do not want to even go there.
#519 LOL!
