Given your last media nugget, I suppose Russert has on Woodward to tell us all how evil Saddam thought Dubya was to invade his poor little country based on a lie.
No kidding, Woodward loves to "quote" dead men, since the can't refute what he has them say.
Thanks anita!
Well... well... well...
If ABC.com is going to have Hugh Hewitt, I'll watch or read it. The other people could very well increase ratings for the programs they are on. Hewitt wrote about this a bit ago, IIRC.
Fantastic little goodies for the last Day of the Year. Sounds like we are in for great opportunities in 2007, and 2008. Let the games begin.........
Enjoy your nuggets. Thanks.
