Josh Bolton says that one of the things Dr. Rice will do is to talk to Lebanon about strengthing the government so that it can control, uproot and remove Hez as a threat. (Tim is using his frowny face.)

Poor Tim, he just don't get it!!

Mehlman: We are all Israelis now, was said to a meeting of Jewish voters. Ken is from my neighborhood which is majority Jewish, and traditionally liberal in voting.

Now, this sunday's Media Nuggets.

###### Associated Press dissociated from Reality - A man who was persecuted under Taliban rule in Afghanistan sends the fruit of his year's worth of labor thro' a soldier(special Rug with Jesus & President's portrait) as a gift to President Bush for helping to liberate him from that intolerant Islamic regime. AP(&MSM) not covered it & spin Afganistan is a disaster. (Must Read)

###### Wonders never cease - NPR correspondent & FNS panelist Juan Williams' son Tony Williams is a Republican(!). In 2000 he was a communications and public-relations assistant for the RNC, Bush’s presidential campaign & speechwriter for Sen. Norm Coleman. Looks like he was influenced MORE by his God-father (Justice Clarence Thomas) than by his father.

###### Rupert Murdoch extends Fox's "fair & balance" to new level. -> hosted a fundraiser breakfast for Hillary Clinton & fundraiser lunch for John McCain, on the same day.

###### Bravo channel will air a six-part reality series about "Tabloid Wars" between NYPost & NYDaily News.

###### Remember CBS had egg on it's face with it's discredited "Guard" story? Now, CBS decides to reach to more people thro' egg-vertising. Some of their planned slogans: “CSI” (“Crack the Case on CBS”); “The Amazing Race” (“Scramble to Win on CBS”); and “Shark” (“Hard-Boiled Drama.”). Variations on the ad for its Monday night lineup of comedy shows include “Shelling Out Laughs,” “Funny Side Up” and “Leave the Yolks to Us.”

###### Advertising revenue at The Wall Street Journal, including Weekend Edition, increased 17.4% in June on a 17.9% increase in advertising volume.

###### Fox is shooting several pilots with Laura Ingraham, Mike Gallagher, Bob Beckel & Alexis Glick(formerly NBC) to decide for possible substitute for the soon-to-be-cancelled low ratings show - "Day Side". Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy will get a morning show on 28 local Fox networks(not FNC) after the fall season.

###### Difference between Fading Elite Media and Shining New Media.

###### The Incredible Shrinking NYtimes made Times staffers depressed & in utter panic per Observer's Off The Record.(!) If that 's not enough, S&P Lowers NYTimes Debt Ratings

###### NBC Profit Plunges 45%, audience has shrunk 30% & Ad sales at the network and its stations have followed suit. GE now publiclicly blames NBC for the loss. Now NBC is hoping that Madonna will save them from the basement of television ratings.

###### Playboy struggling with steep losses, depressed advertising and lower newsstand revenue, to cut 30 jobs.

###### Disney to lay off 650 employees & make fewer films as movies no longer prime engine of growth.

Sometimes we use that incorrect "British" term to avoid confusion since we've got our Open in close proximity.

Do you know, snugs, what they call your Amateur Championship. Is it that? or is it the British Amateur?

"Much to the chagrin of the Newt-haters, Newt will be on a 9:30AM on C-Span."

*****Snip*******

Can you explain to this "Newt Hater" how someone as passionate about Immigration as you can support Newt?

Here is what Newt has said on Immigration. Curious that this is exactly the same as the Bush plan. Yet Bush is accused of "betraying the Conservative Base" while Newt is suddenly the irreproachable idol of the "Conservatives"


http://www.newt.org/backpage.asp?art=2919

****Snip******

Guided by our core values and by the moral and practical imperatives for immigration reform, the hopeful news is that there is growing political agreement around a comprehensive immigration plan that includes total border control, stepped-up enforcement of employment laws, a temporary worker program, and a more aggressive commitment to educating new citizens about U.S. history and the English language.

This is eerily similar to the affliction that causes Ted Kennedy to constantly use references to water in his speech.

His final confirmation will be interesting.

The Democrat Party is in constant polling mode right now concerning the reappointment of Bolton. It should also be noted the first question probably asked is; "Are you a member of DUmpster, have you ever visited the site, and do you know the site we are talking about"? If you were to answer yes to any parts of this question, "Thanks for your time", is all you will hear next.

How the hearings go will depend entirely on how he polls with the party. I think the hearings will be a dud, Bolton is polling quite well, and any thoughts of a filibuster are fading faster than snowball dropped directly into the throes of hell.

Just MHO of course.

I'm hoping Bolton gets his up or down vote on the Senate floor. Let the Dimms put their votes out in the open.

Everything Bolton says publicly is perfect. He doesn't bash the U.N. but he states the truth simply and accurately.

You know, he really touched my heart when he stood up for the American people. Seriously. I remember he was interviewed on Laura Ingrahm. His words were, I paraphrase "I couldn't believe how they (the U.N. poohbahs) lambasted the American people. The American people are the most generous people on the planet (we are). Yet they went out in front of the world and called them stupid and naive."

It gave me such joy that FINALLY someone was defending us, the American people, who ARE the nicest and kindest people on the planet. You always feel a certain loyalty to those who defend you. I never once felt that way in the Clinton administration, duh. Clinton used to go all about apologizing for stuff the American people didn't even do!

It was all a game, keep us down, say bad things about us, and THIS from nasty dictators and despots.

Frankly it was very demoralizing. I don't know how those people can look themselves in the mirror they are so dishonest.

And we can expect more of it from President Hillary.

Now Tim is trying to prove that Iraq is a complete disaster and they all hate us over there anyway. Bolton is unflappable.

Morning AB and thanks again for all you do providing this thread each week it is much appreciated.

We also need to thank Phsstpok for the great job he does on the pre-thread. It gives us that "jump start" we need for the day. Once again it's got great insight and in-depth links to everything.

I'm gonna get to know this thread really good this week since it's my turn to do the honors of creating the top ten. Don't look for a work of art like Phsstpok did last week but sooner or later I will wade through what will undoubted be another big thread today.

Let the games begin.

The British Open's real name is the Open Chanpionship since
that is where Golf originated. But since there is a US Open also.
It's called the British Open here so the casual fan can tell the difference.

Ah that is much better. Fox might actually be worth watching and Meet the Irrelevent might actually be fun if M. Bolten decides to verbally punch out Timmy.

CNN however is still a complete waste of time. Standard surrendering Monkey RINOS matched up with rabid Democrats lunatics. And CNN wonders why no one watches them?
