She has totally distorted Crocker's testimony.
I doubt your vote would be missed, as you’ve probably never voted Republican anyway.
Yes, but the media won’t admit that, nor will the RATS. It’ll be all about a “lack of politcal progress” drumbeat.
Placemarker bump!
Now there's a surprise.
Oh man. Gotta find those antacids....
I heard Illean Ros-Lehtinen tell Skeleton “take it easy”. :)
Yeah, I’m listening to Catherine Herridge (sp) on FOX, and she sounds so negative.
I think I am going to have to mute FOX.

Sheppard Smith is also distorting things including attributing the decline in violence to the fact that people have left the country and others killed. He must be sucking these ideas out of his thumb.
You know, even if I were a reporter(ette) on Fox News, I STILL could never be negative against President Bush, the military or the republican party....just not in my soul...no matter what the salary cap would be...
According to a CBS/NYT poll, 68% of Americans trust Gen. Petraeus over Congress.
Take a hint, Dems.
Man - those shemales are disgusting...can’t we send them at taxpayer expense to their buddies the al qaedas? They need more sheep don’t they?
and the twinkie lightweight Shepard Smith is commenting with her. They really need someone with a brain like Brit Hume commenting. I bet Shep couldn't even find Iraq on a map.
FoxNews is little better, if any, than any of the rest of them anymore.
