Isn't she the brilliant one who asked why crews didn't go check their targets for innocent civilians before firing artillery?

Ritter was scheduled to speak at a few of the colleges in NY and in the surrounding states until his side hungers at Burger King were published.

[Willie Green]

Normally, Buchanan is either limp or off the reservation... publicly disagrees with Bush on most issues -- particularly the economy. And he's no match for Bill Press. Some defender.

It IS rather weird to watch Bill Press defend the Administration's position on many issues.
But that's what you get when you elect a left-leaning corporate neocon instead of a true conservative.

[fml]

But on camera, the message was discreetly concealed by a conservative jacket.

This labeling of all things conservative or liberal has to stop.

Why? Do you think the jacket was offended?

[Redcoat LI]

Does she get to keep the bus?

[Vermont Lt]

I hear she is going to start a late night show with Arthur Kent...the Scud Stud.

"Paging Ms. Banfield....your 15 minutes are up....Paging Ms Banfield, your 15 minutes are up. Please insert some talent to continue...."

Don't know but they kill two birds with 1 stone when they are paid to spew. The Liberal Plantation which is US Academia is a large Plantation with many intricate webs of reward (and I am sure punishment if you do not plow the furrowed fields for the Plantation owner).

Big Deal. Write it down now. She is already at the Salon, going back to blonde. IN 2 years, she will be the Second wife of some Dem politicain, and in 25 months, she will be back on the air....lol

[Grampa Dave]

Your list shows that it pays to be an out of work left wing lunatic who is willing to run down American and GW in a speech at a college or university.

I second your feelings on Banfield being one of the hottest women on TV. Of course, it was probably that whole "conservative librarian" look that did it for me. Here's hoping she takes the next logical step and appears in Playboy.

[brownsfan]

"Now she can go on a highly paid speaking tour at liberal colleges complaining about the sexist tv news industry. " She can join Bill Cosby < the Liberals touchstone in all matters of Racial Equality>as well as the touring Clintonistas.

Whoa what a racket the Liberals have put in place.

Rick Kaplan is coming to speak at Chapel Hill. Thomas Freidman comes through here often. Albright is giving the Commencement address at Duke this spring. The SPEW just won't stop.

Here's the scary part: The spew would stop if people didn't want to hear it. Just like the garbage on TV. The supply is driven by the demand.

On 4/24/03, Ashleigh Banfield made a speech at Kansas State University, which resulted in her being reprimanded by her bosses at MSNBC in what was characterized as "A trip to the woodshed." In the speech, she criticized MSNBC for hiring Michael Savage, mentioned that Fox News had taken viewers away from MSNBC and CNN and criticized the news media for wrapping themselves in the American flag and patriotism. It was a foolish move for her to publicly criticize her employer, and in doing so, she sabotaged her own career at MSNBC.

"Starf--r." Starfour? Starfurr?

You need two more letters to decode this high class babe's T-shirt message. They are "-" and "-".

Oh, now I get it.

[Hand em their arse]

That is EXACTLY IT!! The librarian thing, quiet on the outside but behind closed doors...... Hey, stop that!!!

I also would encourage her to take the next "logical step" as well!!

[ken in texas]

I think she was the co-anchor on the 10:00 news for the local Fox or CBS affiliate for a while (97-98??). I remember that in the usual closing banter they would talk about how Ashleigh liked to stop at night clubs on the way home and sing a few songs.

[AppyPappy]

It doesn't help that she is really old-looking below the chin. Worse that Couric
