I had to switch having listing to the swill Andrea Mitchell was spewing. I’m on FTN now, we’ll see how that goes and if anything newsworthy comes out.
Scheiffer says the convention is still planned to start on Monday, looks like Pres Bush won’t be there, and he has Rudy and Lieberman on.
Rudy says that McCain is focused on the gulf right now, and that Palin and McCain are on their way to MI to make their own assessment of whats going on in prep for the storm. Rudy says they will be ready for anything/everythig.
Lieberman says that he doesn’t know what the convention should do, but he knows McCain will focus on the crisis because that is how Mccain works. But there are legal aspects of the convention that must proceed.
From the show taped on Friday at Washington, DC’s CBS affiliate and airing at various times over the weekend around the nation, mostly on PBS stations:
ELEANOR CLIFT: This is not a serious choice. It makes it look like a made for TV movie. If the media reaction is anything, it’s been literally laughter in many places across news-
JOHN McLAUGHLIN, TALKING OVER CLIFT: Where is that? See that?
CLIFT: In very, very many newsrooms.
