The Weekend Talk Show Preview Thread is up
If you want on or off my ping list please Freepmail me
It will be cross posted (eventually) to my blog at
The Iraq Survey Group has delivered their tablets from the mountain and it is time for all of us to accept the fact that we have been defeated in Iraq and to stop worshipping the false god of democracy and freedom! It's just too hard! Instead we must accept Realpolitik and turn over all of the Middle East to the Islamists because we want to keep the oil flowing. Those annoying Jews will just have to get over that whole Israel thing. They should go back to their European
ghettoshomes, where they'll be safe and cared for. They'll even be given jobs, after all, "work makes one free." Oh, and Americans must accept rule by the unelected committees of wise men like the ISG because they simply know what's best for us. Or at least that's what the Sunday shows want us to believe....... I think they have gone far beyond any possible relationship to reality and are in for some very harsh lessons . They don't realize how razor thin their November victories were. They don't realize how they are now shouting at the top of their lungs how stupid they think the people are who they fooled into either voting for them as "moderates" or not voting at all as a way to "punish the Republicans and deliver a message to them." The "buyers remorse" for this election is going to be a bitch...
... We are moving on from the election and the DBM are trying to make out as if hundreds of seats changed hands in the House and that the Dhimmicrats have a veto proof majority in the Senate. They didn't and they don't. Watch for stories about "Republican obstructionism" to dominate coverage for the next two years. Question: does anyone have a link to a single story in the DBM about "Democrat obstructionism" from the last 5 years? The DBM's effort now is about trying to make the Dhimmicrat's dominance of the agenda a foregone conclusion, particularly as it relates to Iraq and the War on Terror. Their intention is to do to us now what Uncle Walter did to us in Vietnam, namely cause us to lose. The difference is that in Vietnam the Pajama Media didn't exist. It appears we have our work cut out for us...
Shame on us.
Shame on those pundits on our side who helped the MSM in their efforts.
Great thread as usual...
Boy has the MSM just gobbled up the Gordon Smith speech...I think I have seen or heard it about 20 times already..and it makes me madder every time.
I haven't seen or heard the same MSM even MENTION Rick Santorum's speech...which was posted here on FR as it's own thread...because the speech was so good.
But, of course his speech was a passionate speech based on the history of what brought us to this point...and the future if we quit.
NOT what the MSM wants the regular American to know..
I feel like I need to throw some Kudos to anyone who can watch this drivel any more... Your constitution is stronger than mine.
A highlight of my Sunday Mornings used to be watching David Brinkley's show - Will, Roberts and Donnellson (sp?) were great conversationalists and no one heard DNC talking points out of them much (I admired Cokie, even though she was steeped in Democratic "tradition" in her family - I think being a Catholic kept her imminently watchable even though her husband is a kook).
but she, too can now be abrasive when I've seen her lately...
closest I get to the Sunday Talk shows is MAYBE a quick browse of the live thread and this...
my Doctor and I are both worried about blood pressure issues I need to control, and I really can't afford to replace TVs at the rate I may destroy them...
Instead of Beltway Boys, etc, I am reviewing a video of MTP from March 1996
Dick Armey
Trent Lott
Tom Daschle
Dick Gephardt
Really substantial conversation -- very little input by Tim Russert
There really seems to have been a serious deterioration of Sunday show dialogue from this real debate by animated congressmen to today's tired old
men saying nothing new.
I cannot bring myself to watch any of tomorrow's shows - I'll just live in the past - much less boring!
