Laura Ingraham was supposed to be on Fox to debate a Senator on the (un)Fairness Doctrine, but they couldn’t find any supporters in the Senate to come on against her! So I see they got Gallagher to debate Scare America’s owner. That will be a lame debate. When the Senators are scared to debate this topic with a smart, pretty woman, you KNOW they are on the wrong side of the issue (and they know it).

Laura is getting better and better all the time. Both her radio and tv appearances are stellar. She has overcome a lot over the past few years and come back even stronger.

Wallace repeating something that Fox news mentioned yesterday, i.e., that Iraq is the "incubator" for training people how to make "vehicle borne IEDs." This connection is nonsense since car bombs have been used repeatedly since blowing up the Marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983. Car bombs have been used in Israel, the UK, the first WTC bombing in 1993, the OKC bombing, and the bombing of our embassies in 1998 in East Africa, just to name a few before we ever went into Iraq.

I find this use of words and the description of Iraq as an "incubator" to be despicable.

See this. Senators Norm Coleman (R-MN) and John Thune (R-SD) will be bringing the Mike Pence’s bill banning the FCC from using any money to enforce the (un) Fariness Doctrine up in the US Senate. It passed with overwhelming support in the US House.

WASHINGTON - Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., has joined a Republican move to block Democratic attempts to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, a decades-old rule requiring broadcasters to balance political views on the airwaves.

Coleman joined Sens. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and John Thune, R-S.D., Friday in sponsoring legislation that would prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from reinstituting the rule, which was set in 1949 and which required broadcasters to offer equal time to speakers on opposing sides of controversial issues.

Democratic leaders have been calling for the restoration of the Fairness Doctrine since 1985, when the FCC determined that it was no longer necessary because of “a multiplicity of voices in the marketplace” in cable television and other new media. It was abolished in 1987.
