From FReeper Snugs’ graphics shop, here are last week's winners:

[Miss Marple]

I can't be here until near noon. I am MOST interested in seeing if the backstabbing panel of Beltway conservatives will cement their irrelevance by continuing to call for Hastert's resignation.

[Bahbah]

Here we are, YaYa.

[Bahbah]

Oops, helps if I put you in the "to" place.

[Morgan in Denver]

Thanks AB. Don't know long I'll be able to participate today but I'm looking forward to the FR comments on the shows.

Congratulations to last weeks winners too. Great posts.

It will be fun to have rodguy911 back for some fun today too.

I don't think anyone in America is madder at Foley than Bob Woodward.

Bob has been relegated to only one appearance today.

Thanks AB, Congrats to the top 3 & Good Morning to EveryOne!

Laura Ingraham is good, but if anyone heard FNS promotion, they would just skip. But, this nightly special: "Fox News at 10: Thank You America" should be interesting.

Some of it from the recording (before editing).
Roger Ailes, Brit Hume, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Neil Cavuto, Alan Colmes, Greta Van Susteren and Shepard Smith & lots of reporters , crew from Fox in the audience[Miss Teen USA, Miss Universe too].

Chris Wallace and Martha MacCallum conduct the proceedings, ask lots of funny questions to the above [taking a gentle swipe at Bill Clinton too - "Wallace, you right-wing hit-man"]. Juliet Huddy cheering up the audience side now & then.

American Flag in a corner & many wore Flag-pins. One women with KanyeWest T-Shirt removed. Susan Estrich gave Ann Coulter her new book - "Soulless: Ann Coulter".

Full of laughter, applause, fun. Don't miss it. Specially for Fox, it 's good for them to look back & realize who made them successful, what made them successfull.

Before trying to be fair to the other side, atleast be fair to those who lifted them to where they are now. They were leading with the agenda for MSM then, now they are just following the agenda of MSM.

Thanks for the thread as usual AB and as you mention Phsstpok's pre-thread should be required reading for all serious Sunday morning Freeprers. Great stuff there.

(Yeee Haaaa, Let the games begin!!)

[Bahbah]

They were leading with the agenda for MSM then, now they are just following the agenda of MSM.

Perhaps they want to start winning awards from the journalism tribe and that won't happen unless they are willing to do damage to Republicans generally, and to conservatives in particular.

[Pusterfuss]

Thanks AB! Mark for after Church.

[anita]

I don't think anyone in America is madder at Foley than Bob Woodward.

On point. Funny, they think they are throwing bombs, but the bombs instead of destroying their intended targets each bomb knocks down the other bomb.

[rodguy911]

Wow SC is back and with a vengeance!! Way to go MNJ and A. Hun as well, great thread last week, so sorry I was out at sea.

[A.Hun]

Thanks for the ping AB, and also for the mention!

[A.Hun]

Hello rodguy! Good to have you back from the "Bermuda Triangle"!

[GOPJ]

.On the Foley issue - dems are going to play sexual politics against us until the election. It might be time to define -- being for that which is moral is not the same as expecting perfection. We don't want anyone hitting on children. Gay or straight. And Clinton WAS wrong for hitting on an intern and having sex in the oval office and lying about it. We can't be afraid of their attacks. There is right, there is wrong - and the American people know the difference. Our job is to paint them as the "anything goes" party.

If Foley was a dem and went after children, rather than a witch hunt, he'd be a hero. Rather than being a perv, he would be standing up for sexual freedom. He could lead the parade in San Francisco and have Nancy beside him... if only he was a dem.

Perhaps they want to start winning awards from the journalism tribe.

About exactly this, Roger Ailes has a rule, which I will post in my nuggets soon. Atleast, he is on our side on this. More later.

[TexasRedeye]

One women with KanyeWest T-Shirt removed.

Hmmmm, got any pics? Hehehehehe!

[maica]

In the category of "strange bedfellows" (it is difficult to even type that phrase these days) we seem to be aligned with Kristol on l'affaire Foley. What an odd world! Oops, I guess "odd" is going to become a word that cannot be used in normal conversation, either.
