[Alas Babylon!]

As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

[Peach]

Looking forward to the surprise Chris Wallace has which he says will counter Ted Koppel's "stunt" the other night.

[Miss Marple]

I am pinging you to this thread so you can find out what Chris Wallace says today.

[demkicker]

Me too!

[Aeronaut]

Thanks, as always, Alas.

[cyborg]

It was be filled with news about the guy that escaped.

[Quilla]

Meet the Press featuring Annan and Wilson. Ha! One could switch to the Cartoon Network and get more meaningful banter.

[Mo1]

Same here

[Peach]

Chris Wallace was going to talk about Thomas Hammill? But now he's not going to? I haven't had my second cup of tea yet and need more information...

[get'emall]

Looks like Russert bought alFrankeen's rolodex at the Air America garage sale.

[cyborg]

I don't know. Just my undercaffeinated guess :)

[Peach]

Morning, Mo1.

Did you watch the correspondents dinner last night? We were out and missed it; assuming the president was his usual charming, self deprecating self and garnered some laughs.

[cyborg]

LOL!

[Peach]

Thanks. I'm a little slow on the uptake this morning.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Chris Wallace has promised to "make news" with a story about Koppel's show on Friday listing those who died in Iraq.

[Carolinamom]

McCain all to himself on ABC is sure to make me mad. Joe Biden is on EVERY Sunday.

[cripplecreek]

A good sign that the American captive was able to walk unprotected in Iraq. It shows that not all Iraqis are out for American blood.

[cyborg]

They probably assumed he wasn't a threat because he seemed so calm.

[Peach]

There was a thread a few days ago that Joe Wilson has changed his story once again in his new book.

Doubtful that Old Media (Russert) will have followed New Media's lead and question Wilson hard about his ever-changing stories.

[Quilla]

Crossing my fingers in the hopes the Administration has forwarded a copy of the new list of cash receipients in the oil for food scandal to Wallace.

[kabar]

According to C-Span, Kerry will be on Face the Nation

[prairiebreeze]

Bookmarking the thread. If there are any really Big Points, would somebody please ping me to it? I have major church committments this morning and may be gone this afternoon for the replay as well. Thanks!

[Mo1]

assuming the president was his usual charming, self deprecating self and garnered some laughs.

Morning Peach

Yes I did see it ... It was a tough crowd last night, but the President did manage to get a few chuckles out of them

[Bahbah]

Kofi Annan! I don't think I can stand it. Appreciate this thread very much, AB.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Looking forward to the surprise Chris Wallace has which he says will counter Ted Koppel's "stunt" the other night.

He's going to do a pole dance!

[Peach]

Eeeww!

[Mo1]

Will Do

[Peach]

That is a mercilessly tough crowd. Too bad the thing ever got started anyway, but glad the president did good.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Just count your blessings I didn't tell you how he's going to give Juan Williams a lap dance!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Wallace's story is about the oil for food program? Hmmm...I missed that.

[Quilla]

But it was such a minor detail he recounted - only the Niger/Uranium issue. Sheesh.

Joesph Wilson changes story, Baghdad Bob tried to buy uranium from Niger?

[prairiebreeze]

Thanks!

[get'emall]

Gee, thanks. Now I'm going to have THAT image burned in my brain during the roundtable.

[Alas Babylon!]

UPDATE!!!

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard Myers, will be on ABC's This Week and CBS's Face the Nation, in addition to the guests I've already posted. Nothing on Kerry.

[Peach]

Your post about Dick Morris was a riot, btw. (I'm just really starting to wake up and went back and re-read it.)

[Benrand]

I heard he and Juan are gonna put a bunch of fireworks in a cannon and light it.

[Quilla]

That's just my wish for his rebuttal to Koppell. I haven't a clue what the actual programming will be.

[Semper Paratus]

Hagel and McCain! Again?

If these shows like political mavaricks so much, when is Zell Miller going to come on?

[Mo1]

I read that about Wilson .. what's up with his change in his story?

[Peach]

There's the link; thank you.

Wilson is a fraud, just like Richard Clarke.

[Peach]

That's an interesting switch. Thanks for the update and the weekly thread.

[CharlotteVRWC]

What time will that be on Fox tonight?

[Arrowhead1952]

Thank goodness I don't have to watch MEET THE DEPRESSED today with Goffy Annan. Don't think I could take that.

[Peach]

I get Fox News Sunday at 9:00 a.m. EST and although I've heard it is replayed later in the day, I'm afraid I don't know what time.

[netmilsmom]

Me too!
My girls are dancing at St. Florian's for the Strawberry Festival.
I'll tell you how annoying the Muslim call to prayer is in Hamtramck.

[jackbill]

Joe Biden is on EVERY Sunday.

He's bucking for VP.

[Quilla]

Who can guess the motives of these liars? What's so amazing is that Wilson was originally going to title his book What I Didn't Find in Niger. Apparently, since he basically outs Baghdad Bob as the potential Iraqi trying to buy the uranium, that title would have been a joke. Still, The Politics of Truth is a pretty funny one as well.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Fox News Sunday is replayed on the FNC at 5:00 pm (Eastern)

[Mo1]

I get Fox News Sunday at 9:00 a.m. EST and although I've heard it is replayed later in the day, I'm afraid I don't know what time.

On the east coast it re-airs at 5pm

[Alas Babylon!]

Yup. First time in all the years I've been posting the thread that they've added a guest. However, I had a very hard time finding a guest line up last night. I usually have many sources (provided by Google), but as late as 11:00 PM Central last night, finally found one, and only one.
