Thanks for the heads up-
Looks like I picked a good day to take off from work!!

Fox News is carrying it too. But I may switch to CSPAN just in case the news commentators decide that what THEY have to say is more important than the event speaker!

[baseballmom]

Thanks Howlin

[EllaMinnow]

FOXNews has been saying the same thing...ARRGGGGHHHH!

[McGavin999]

I heard he wasn't going to address congress until 4:00 EST. at least I hope that's right because I really want to see it and I have to go to clients this morning. ARRRRGGGGG!

[Howlin]

I always wonder why -- if WE, in our little homes and cubilces -- know the FACTS the people who are drawing a paycheck from the "media work" don't.

Question - is Fox News reporting that Blair won't address the uranium matter? That seems impossible but CNN has reported that as well.

[Howlin]

This thread is for discussing of his arrival AND the speech.

SPEECH AT 4:00 P.M. EDT

[cyncooper]

No, you didn't miss anything. The media lies or at the very least screws up the facts.

Thank you for posting this. I knew you would!

I have to leave at 4:30 edt (1:30 my time) so plan to watch what I can and I count on this thread to get me caught up when I return about three hours later.

BTW, I saw the arrival on MSNBC. They stayed with it quite awhile and I surfed and it was not on Fox or CNN (though I'll guess they showed a snippet----I hope).

I just posted an Anna Kournikova thread I'll be back.

[NeoCaveman]

I'm ready. Mr. Blair can lay the smack down now!

I'm with you .. normally I give my ratings to FNC .. but if they don't shut up .. it's off to c-span I go

Sooooooooooo .. shall we take bets on what color pantsuit Hellary wears??

Tell ya what .. whoever wins the guess, I'll donate $25 to Free Republic in their honor

[Spunky]

I have to drive my grandson to take his written driving test. .:-(

Keep me posted on all that is said.

I always wonder why -- if WE, in our little homes and cubilces -- know the FACTS the people who are drawing a paycheck from the "media work" don't.

I was just wondering why it is that we are paying these stupid congressmen and Senators over $150,000 a year, plus perks, and they can't even get the facts of a 16 word statement right. Good grief, if they can't keep 16 words straight, how on earth can we trust them to write laws?

C-SPAN1 --- Pelosi
C-SPAN2 --- Bryd

What a choice.

Thanks alot. I just saw this thread and turned on CSPAN just in time to hear Nancy Pelosi say, "Republicans continue their unending assault on children."

I kid you not. What a skeletor-looking witch she is.
