The funniest thing I've seen on tv this morning, is Wolf blitzer interviewing McClintock, and he prefaced his interview by quoting (and showing), the discredited, week old LA Times poll that showed Bustaman leading Arnold.

You have to figure Wolf didn't want to let the truth interfere with the questions he wanted to ask.

[Mo1]

I flipped to it very briefly, then just turned the TV off. Can't stand georgie-boy.

I flipped on also .. but I missed the show .. wow I'm so sadden

[maica]

Then Wolf quotes from a Washington Times article - how often does That happen on CNN!

Holbrook, participant in the Balkan fiasco, gave 1/3 of Bosnia to Islamist terrorists, 1/3 to Croatia, and nada to the Serbs. Then gave Kosovo to the Islamist terrorists.

In a saner world we should not interfer with a soveriegn country 'protecting' itself from terrorists in their own country. As in Bosnia, Kosovo and Chechenya.

As Milosevic said, they were faulted for defending themselves in their own country, yet we go halfway around the world to engage the same enemy.

Holbrook has absolutely no scrupples. He was sickening when recently he took on Gingrich re the screwed up State Department. The Democrats have nothing to offer when they start fronting the likes of Holbrook and (ugh) General Clark.

[Reagan Man]

From waht I saw on MTP, John Kerry sounded dazed and confused, as usual. If would appear his campaign is starting to fall apart, before it's even gotten off the ground. Kerry has absolutely no chance of beating PresBush in 2004. Kerry won't even win the Demlib nomination.

[Sub-Driver]

Well here's what Russert should have asked him regarding his much spoken of Vietnam experience:

Q. Senator, you speak often of having served in Vietnam.

A. Yes, As you may recall I did serve. I am the only candidate who has served "on the ground".

Q. I understand you were decorated?

A. Yes.

Q. Senator where are those medals today?

A. I threw them away during a Vietnam proptest I was attending....uh, wait, let me clarify that last statement.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

That is the base core voters .. they have so much anger, they are ready to explode

Yes. But Dean has that crowd locked in. Nothing there for Kerry.

[Az Joe]

An angry soreloser is still a soreloser is still a loser.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Don't you just want to yell: ~~ "Grow up, this isn't a game?!".

PS: I'm starting to worry about how often I find myself yelling at my televsion ;^D

[Right_in_Virginia]

"From waht I saw on MTP, John Kerry sounded dazed and confused,..."

I caught a replay of the Kerry interview on the car radio; and without the benefit of TV visuals to distract from his comments; Kerry sounded downright moronic.

[hole_n_one]

While shortening Late Edition to 2 hours, apparently Blitzer has permanently done away with the roundtable portion of his program.

I'm going to miss Peter Beinart and Donna Brazile......NOT!

[krunkygirl]

Yes, I find those comments completely sophomoric...My son and husband get that "here she goes again" look on their faces when I start fuming and pacing when I hear some of this stuff...LOL...most of the serious fuming and pacing is directed at Liberal skunks tho'...

[Miss Marple]

I, too, am tired of the attitude of commentators who think this is simply entertainment. We are at war. If Tony snow can't grasp the seriousness of this election, he needs to be sent to Hollywood to cover the Academy Awards or something. I am out of patience with him.

Time for another e-mail to Roger Ailes.

[whizkid]

I set up a trust that allowed my children to share my assets if I became insane. They told me there wasn't a court in the land that wouldn't give them everything if anyone saw me watching the Sunday morning talk shows.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I can relate...

ROFL ;^D

[SuzanneC]

"While shortening Late Edition to 2 hours, apparently Blitzer has permanently done away with the roundtable portion of his program.

I'm going to miss Peter Beinart and Donna Brazile......NOT!"

Did anyone watch the whole show anyway? Whenever Donna comes on the screen, I change channels.

[LenS]

Holbrook, participant in the Balkan fiasco, gave 1/3 of Bosnia to Islamist terrorists, 1/3 to Croatia, and nada to the Serbs.

If the Serbs got nada, what happened to the final third of Bosnia? Did he give it to the Martians? Or, like most Serb apologists, do you define nada as when the Serbs don't get everything and there are still some non-Serbs still breathing?

Holbrook is an idiot, but I find it funny when Serb apologists jump on him. If it wasn't for Holbrook, the Croatians would have pushed the Serbs totally out of Bosnia. The Dayton accords saved the Serbian's cowardly butts from a well deserved total defeat at the hands of their Christian neighbors.

[sdk7x7]

I saw the Kerry interview too. I have to say, I thought Tim was great with the questions. Very few softballs, etc. How great was that when Kerry listed what Bushed lied to America about and then Tim played the video of Kerry saying the EXACT same thing.

I think Kerry looked a lot more moderate to me than I had previously assumed, but some of his policies are scary. He seems to be against unilateral military force, he supports "modified" affirmative action (state-sponsored racism), and I'm pretty sure he said he wanted to repeal the Bush tax cut from the richest Americans because it's the "middle class" that's hurting.

Couldn't give a straight answer on policy towards Cuba.

[sdk7x7]

I have to say though, the best part of what Kerry said all day was his Bush-esque response to the question, "How much more money should be set aside for the Iraq rebuilding?" (paraphrased) "As much as is necessary for us to win. Victory is absolutely necessary." (paraphrased).

If the Serbs got nada, what happened to the final third of Bosnia?
The EU has it defacto and they're scouring the area scape goats.

If it wasn't for Holbrook, the Croatians would have pushed the Serbs totally out of Bosnia.
Holbrook, with the force of NATO, bombed the Serbs out of their century old homelands in Bosnia. Serbians living there virtually unprotected in Bosnia were no match against the Muslims, Croates and NATO. As a group they were wiped out.

My only interest here is the truth. It can be found by following the 'kangaroo' Hague Tribunal in process, where Milosevic is making and proving the case. Of course, originally billed as the greatest trial of the century, the participating culprit 'media', after a few days of truth, retreated into shame.

Serbian's cowardly butts from a well deserved total defeat at the hands of their Christian neighbors.
By the way, isn't Serbia a Christian nation?
