A few thoughts:

1. This Katrina thing is getting old. I remind everyone how they tried to turn the evacuation of Lebanon into a "Katrina-like" situation. That didn't work, because most Americans were turned off by the whiners. So they are dragging ol' Ray Nagin onto center stage again.

How is this going to work? Is Nagin going to tell us how ungenerous and racist the American people are, because of George Bush? I don't think that will fly in my parish, where we donated over $50,000 and have had work teams going to New Orleans every 3 months!

My fervent hope is that Nagin comes on and blames Blanco and Landrieu! That would make my day!

2. McCain, is, as many have pointed out, emotionally unsuited for the presidency. Furthermore, my antipathy against him does not stem from the 2000 primaries, but for his behavior in the Senate since 2001! I have NOT forgotten how he held things hostage until he got that stupid Campaign Finance bill! I have not forgotten his sly jabs at the President when times got rocky! Nope, I will not support him in the primaries.

AND, should he get elected, I am convinced that the MSM, whom he has spent years sucking up to, will turn on him in a flash and attack him about his deserting his first wife, the Keating 5, his current wife's drug problems, and anything else they have gleaned from his chat sessions with reporters. Phooey.

3. I never want to hear anything from Jimmy Carter ever again.

4. I hope Shep Smith goes to CNN, which will appreciate his talents. If Roger AIles allows that creep (whom I will NOT watch) to air coffins or bodies, I will do my darndest to make sure Murdoch fires them both. Grrrr.

So not even Cspan saves the day. Yeah we should have Junk Media types on Call in Shows. People who are incompetent in their own line of work but who will arrogantly posturing as experts on topics they know even less about. EVEN a collection of guests from Left Wing "Think" tanks would be better then these losers.

if GE is indeed suffering and they of course are NBC then the writing may be on the wall,but not fast enough we need to help it along. We need to do what Freepers are so good at, making phone calls,emails,Faxes,snail mail,up close and personal. Whatever it takes to drive the point home, the New Media has one very important thing that the DBM does not have "TRUTH". The truth is a huge burden to the DBM,because they are so used to telling whoppers that truth is very alien to them.

Back in the days when GE was run by Jack Welch, if a division was losing money, it wasn't long before that division was jettisoned. Let's hope the current management feels the same way.

It always makes me laugh when they say free health care living in a country where we supposedly have that we know that we actually pay for it by our national insurance contribution and our employers national insurance contribution.

So at the end of the day probably per person there is more spent by individuals and employers on health care to the government than most Americans pay for private health care.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. All governments do is put up your taxes in one form or the other.

One conservative (Peter King R-NY).

Conservative? They guy who went on national TV and threaten to launch a congressional investigation into orgies at the CIA because DHS cut a pathetic $40 mill out of the pork for New York? Hardly a Conservative.

When Hagel's appearance on FNS was announced, apparently they received quite a few emails pointing out that he is in actual fact a dem. LOL. FReepers, fess up. That part where Hagel tries to prove he's not like Lament is pretty funny...AND it didn't work.

CNN Reliable Sources is talking about Hezbollah's winning hearts and minds after the war.

Their correspondent on the ground referenced their handing out $12,000 to "victims", then said: "Let them come work for FEMA...that's what a lot of American journalists are saying".

Hezbollah is better than FEMA! Ha Ha Ha.
Oh, wait. I guess that has a ring of truth if one believes FEMA deliberately killed innocent victims who were doing nothing more than hunkering down in their squallid homes!)

"No Juan to slap down today, so Brit makes fun of the French. I just love Britt -- he is the absolute best."

I wish they would have "Newscaster Debates". I would love to see Brit Hume debate current news topics with all the lame talking heads on the other channels, Mr. Tater Head, Tweety, Dan Blather,Keith Ogarman, Katty C**tlick,...

Wouldn't that be a hoot? $29.95 on PPV...lol

New panel member on FNS; Cornblut(?) from the NYTimes. Immediately she talks about how the President polls did not get a bump from the terrorist bust in UK.

Juan's not on (according to the listing, it's not on here yet) so I assumed that they needed someone for Brit to smack down on his first Sunday after vacation.  Did he avail himself of any opportunities?  That comment you list above sounded like a good opening...

Leave it to Chrissy Wallace to make Hagel look reasonable.

Which he just did.

But then Hagel blew the chance whining that the Republican Party has lost its way. Because, you know, they were so much more in favor of free trade and smaller government back in 1968. (How many agencies did Nixon spawn? How many free-trade agreements did he sign?)

Hey, write Ailes about that one! Since Murdoch owns Direct TV, I bet it could be done! A sure-fire money-maker! LOL!

Spike Lee will probably be doing his best to one up Kanye West in the hate and it's all Bush's fault dept.

Wonder if Spike saw the busses sitting unused in the parking lot?

Wonder if he found out what the Demo governor and demo mayor were doing during the 24 hours they mulled the administration's offers to help?

Excellent post. In my gut I always have known that they had these guests on because they knew that they could be counted on to give them the kinds of anti-conservative comments they want. But framing it as a lawyer leading a witness by selecting questions they know the answer to really exposes it for the stage managed fraud that it is. Green Helmet Guy is an amature in comparison.

There isn't anything this lefty believes should be classified... and that whatever the president can do... the courts can do better.

Ah... the NYSlimes, WaPo model of allowing the public to "know what your Government is doing at all times". I agree with you it is sickening and we need a Secrecy act that will prosecute the press when they knowingly print classified information - if the Constitution needs to be changed so be it. BUT I suspect the problem is really with the broken Judicial system in this country.

Murdock owns ECCO Star (dish network), Comcast owns direct TV, but, I would pay to watch those debates. It could be like "American Idol", let people call in to vote.

Good morning anita...I can guarantee you that after 2008, you will not see Graham as the Senator from South Carolina.

Conservatives that elected him here generally revile him now.
