Weekend Show *Preview* for 11/4 - 11/5/06 (not the live thread)

It's the last weekend shows before we change over from campaign mode to litigation mode in this election cycle and the Dhimmicrats and the DBM are in full on hysterics. This is particularly true of the "experts" like Sabato and Cook, who both have been predicting huge wins for their political masters as part of the psyops campaign being waged by Soros and company. Cook is now as much as 10 points off of polls like Rasmussen in some races where the trend is clearly for the Republican but he doesn't want to let it go. But he's also reduced to making these increasingly bizarre claims on shows like Chris Matthews as old media types scramble to save what's left of their reputations. I've got a surprise for you fellas, it's too late. Even NPR's (and Fox News') Juan Williams admits the the old media types like CNN '(are) in the tank' for the Democrats.

With the exception of CNN the line ups this week are arguably reasonable, but that doesn't count the relentless propaganda campaign that has been waged against some of the Republican guests and the outrageous cover ups being perpetrated to protect all Dhims all the time. I don't think that Henry Waxman admitting that he was a serial killer in a speech on the floor of the House would make the DBM's top news right now. And all you need to do is search for stories on Libby Dole to find a constant stream of criticism and denigration. CNN's line up is simply obscene. There are only two Republicans (one of them questionable) and eleven folks with severe BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome), twelve if understand Lindsey's true nature. Hoekstra is undoubtedly on to answer why he put Saddam's nuclear weapons blueprints on the internet for all to see (a charge I think he ought to be able to knock out of the park, mind you) while Lindsey Graham was no doubt invited to comment on Dick Cheney's endorsement of water boarding.

NBC Meet The Press brings together the two traveling road shows of the respective chairs of the Senate and House campaign committees for both parties. Chucky and Liddy have been making the rounds of TV shows and college campuses for some time now. They're very "collegial," in the old fashioned way where the Dhim is vicious and nasty but still expects the Republican to be nice at all times. Unfortunately Liddy, like her husband, is that kind of Republican. She's taken a beating this entire electin cycle and is clearly set up as the "fall guy" (other than Bush) if the Republicans don't do well in the Senate. Chuck, on the other hand, is almost universally disliked in the Senate by members of both parties, but he is being set up as the "king maker" and power broker, ala Lyndon Johnson. On the House side Tom Reynolds is one of the DBM targets in the Foley cross hairs while Rahm Emanuel is being talked about as some sort of Zen master. With cooperation from their print allies in old media NBC has set this up as a pre-race victory lap for the Dhimmicrats and a pre-mortem for the Republicans. I will look closely for any hedging by lil' Timmah, along with what his body language is (hunch or no hunch when questioning Dole and Reynolds?) to give me a clue about what he really believes will happen on Tuesday.

CBS Face The Nation offers up Bill Frist as a symbol of the (soon to be) departing Republicans and Joe Biden as the emblem of the coming Dhimmicrat golden age of dominance. Bob Schieffer is joined by Stuart Rothenberg, another of the "political gurus" predicting massive losses for the Republicans. This is the left wing "preaching to the choir" and expecting all of us to sing along to their imaginary tune. I'm betting Shieffer's closing comment will be one of the most smarmy and insulting ever. Who knows? If my predictions are right it may just be old Bob's last such commentary.

Fox News Sunday Has Boehner, Steele and McCaskill as the guests, plus a "classic" Sunday panel. Boehner is being targeted as the Republican antidote to Kerry's Freudian slip. So far the attempts to make hay out of his comments about Rumsfeld and the generals on the ground just don't have the same ring nor does he have a history of treason as John F'n does. Steele is definitely on the move and, IMHO, likely to defeat Cardin. He may be destined for national office in the coming years. McCaskill, on the other hand, isn't ready for prime time. The more face time she has the worse she comes across. Chris Wallace is a reliable predictor of the inside the beltway "smart set" sentiment and is likely to be totally captured by the drum beat of "Republicans lose, Democrats win." If so he may completely embarrass himself this week.

ABC This Week repeats their stunt of a taped interview with an administration official, this time Dick Cheney, followed by "equal time," live, for the Democrats, this time represented by Howard "the scream" Dean. ABC World News already pulled out some "juicy" tidbits last night so it's evident that Howard and company will have ample time to work on their sound bites and attacks on "the second most hated man on Earth" (George Bush being the first in their minds). I find this tactic to be totally transparent and reprehensible. I find it worse that no one is commenting on it outside of FReepers and a few conservative blogs. The old media will have a lot to answer for over their increasingly destructive and dishonest tactics and outrageous bias. And once again the Bush Derangement Syndrome panel will be in full swing. I really want to see these people next week if things don't go as they're predicting. They are way too invested in this to survive anything less than total victory for the Dhims.

CNN Late Edition is, as stated earlier, an amazing example of CNN being "in the tank" for the Dhimmicrats. The amount of hate directed at George Bush from this one program would be dangerous for most normal people, but our President is made of stronger stuff. Thank goodness. I expect particularly insane rants from Maxine (millions for the Crips and Bloods but not a dime for defense) Waters and Max (blown up by his own dropped grenade while drinking beer with his buddies) Cleland. Lou Dobbs is reportedly thinking of running for President, so he could either play this as a statesman or be in full Jack Cafferty melt down mode. I'm betting on the latter. Boxer and Frank are undoubtedly on a charm offensive and will talk about mom and apple pie till we all want to barf. Hoekstra is in for a fierce attack over the Iraqi document dump, but he's got the perfect rebuttal in that the documents in question prove that Saddam had active WMD programs just as we said before the war. That could be a fiery and very interesting exchange. The media types have one last chance to sell their snake oil and sound wise before they have to begin back tracking and eating crow. When these drones get confronted with what they've done and said during this campaign (if ever) it won't be pretty.

The Saturday shows follow their usual pattern and are watch able to the same degree as they always are (definitely for JER, maybe, maybe not for the others). There is one addition to the mix this weekend, though. Fox is showing an edited version of the documentary "Obsession," about how the US is presented in the Arab media, schools and popular culture (Saturday at 7 PM CST, Sunday at 9 PM CST, Fox News Channel). This is perhaps the most significant program of the entire election cycle. I wish they'd shown it weeks ago and unedited.

Bottom line, all restraints are off and all logic or ethical guidelines are out the window. This is all or nothing for the DBM and Dhimmicrats and I think they see a very bleak future starting on Wednesday morning. Needless to say I'll be watching closely.

This will be cross posted to my blog at Wizards.townhall.com. This post exists primarily as a heads up for who is on the weekend talks shows, what they've been invited on to push (based on their recent pronouncements) and the spin (meme) the DBM is likely trying to push based on that information. All of this is prep work for the weekly Sunday Morning Talk Show thread posted by Alas Babylon!. That thread provides a live commentary and analysis of the Sunday talking head shows, with rare insight and exceptional fact checking. we are the Jedi Council of FreeRepublic, at least in regards to these DBM gabfests. You wanna know what was said and what it meant, as well as where they messed up? Read that thread!

Here's a link to Mark Kilmer's excellent preview of the Sunday shows over at RedState.COM. He beat me again this week. Of course, the fact that I was out of state the last two weeks, so I don't feel too bad, but I'll try to do better starting next weekend.

They haven't used Abramhoff against him as much as stem cells... interesting, isn't it?

I changed my diet, increased certain vitamins and have managed to keep my Lupus in remission for over ten years. I have slight flair ups in the summer -- with 120 degrees and constant sun it's pretty hard not to -- but, for the most part I do very well...

I'm sorry your granddaughter has diabetes. I know Juvenile Diabetes is very difficult. I saw a report on 60-minutes about a year ago where one of the researchers at Howard Hughes Institute had two children with diabetes and had totally changed the focus of his research to try and find a cure.
