Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service (tm), the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

[JustPiper]

MSNBC has replaced Alex Nitwitt

Was she Freeped too much? LOL!

[Timeout]

Dennis Miller ripping into Michael Moore! Crowd roaring approval!

[Doomonyou]

We have a two hour wait out here on the left coast, thanks for the heads up.

[Rippin]

Dennis Miller is tearing it up on Leno! Ripping the peace protestors, saying how proud he is of the military. Great stuff

Unreal. Is Hollywood tipping? THis is awesome "THere are four types of war protestors...And third is the Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi type, they are white I call the Elite Democratic Guard..."...And then there's the Dixie Chicks, Hmmm making fun of the commander in chief on foreign soil doesn't play with the NASCAR crowd, I think they ought to open their next Act in Basra and sing "Walk like an Egyptian"...

The greatest thing is Leno is wetting his pants.

[Mo1]

For all the Folks on the West Coast .. Do watch Jay Leno tonight .. Dennis Miller is on and he just RIPPS into the left

And I'm taking a guess .. He REALLY doesn't like Michael Moore .. LOL

[reformed_democrat]

My husband thinks he went on shore leave to get a tattoo.

Perhaps a mermaid on his flipper?

[JLS]

Thanks. I hope they fully debriefed our Dolphin.

[Doomonyou]

Will do, but that's pushing bedtime for us working stiffs.

[Dolphy]

LOL, I believe he said Michael Moore represents everything he hates in a human being:)

[chigung]

I love Dennis Miller.... He's great. He's right up there with George Carlin in my book.

[Diddle E. Squat]

!

[two23]

Good news, I'm happy for his handler whom I'm sure was worried about him.

[AlextheWise1]

"their kicking ass and taking hyphenated names"

[chigung]

..."I think President Bush has done a great job, Who knows, in 2004 maybe we will elect him"

[Timeout]

Miller: Our boys are in there. They're kickin' ass & takin hyphenated names!

[cyncooper]

MSNBC has replaced Alex Nitwitt("Bob? Bob, are you safe? Bob?") with Keith Olbermann. No net gain.

I care not for Olberman one bit, BUT, he has been talking to David Bloom via phone only (no visual tonight) and he asked Bloom about the reception of the troops by the Iraqis.

Bloom told of going this morning by an EPW camp and the Iraqi prisoners saw the television camera and they started waving and, Bloom, said were clearly glad to be in the hands of the Americans.

Curiously, it was on MSNBC and Dr. Bob Arnot who told a similar tale the other day. How stunning is it when the enemy prisoners are relieved to be captured?

[Mo1]

He is saying he can understand why every one is complaining the war is taking so long

It's been 2 weeks folks .. hell it took Joe Milinaire 8 weeks

[Eaker]

Me too???

[Dolphy]

He thanked the President and the troops for doing the tough jobs so that we can do the easy ones. This must be killing the left:)

[Diddle E. Squat]

Miller ripping environmentalists, not drilling in Alaska, and global warming.

We need this guy on Free Republic. I bet he could come up with some zingers for the tag line.
