Webb's second wife is Jo Ann Krukar, a health care lobbyist, who assisted in his 2006 Senate campaign.
I watch it to reaffirm my votes for Republicans. As pi$$ed off as I get over the mistakes made by Republicans, our country is far better off with President Bush vs. anybody on the Democrat side.
When Timmy & Chrissy have Democrats on their shows, they let them go on and on and on and on.... When Republicans (except for Hagel and McCain) are on, they're given a 5-10 second time to answer the questions. Timmy & Chrissy aren't listening, because they'll have their pre-printed followup questions, whether or not they relate to the discussion of the previous question.
How about the dark horse, handsome Texas Senator?
Or the really dark horse, Tony Snow?
10 Things You Didn't Know About John Edwards

Snip:
7. One of his first assignments in Washington was to help oversee depositions for the Senate trial regarding President Clinton's conduct with Monica Lewinsky. His evenhanded approach to the matter earned him bipartisan praise.
Am I the only one that didn't know this?
Yeah, he's had enough practice at it.
doing the "Hanky-Panky", "Hokey-Pokey"
Covered...see above....
long walks in Arlington Cemetery
Very tasteful. It's about as classy as the female VP candidate jogging through Arlington in the movie The Contender
You DID notice the sarcasm alert? I'd like to see Ann's column in the Austin paper. The libs here would go totally ballistic. They can't stand George Will's columns now, and they would really have a problem with Ann.
She will do all the work anyway. How old is he? How old is his wife.
Well, I didn't.
And anything that earns bi-partisan praise... The dems don't praise anything that is fair and balanced and the senate pubbies at the time were wimps.
(still are, for that matter)
You've hit the nail on the head.
Not to you alone, but we all have to remember Democrats won last November without a "plan" on almost everything. I presume they don't feel a need to have a plan now as long as they can criticize every existing plan.
I think we need to pin them down better than we did last year by making them support or oppose all the various alternatives to whatever they are complaining about.
Tom Vilsack is on CNN right now...and when Wolf pointed out that he is last in polling for Dems.
Vilsack said that at this time before Bill Clinton was elected the first time...Clinton was ranked 13th.
However, I keep hearing that Clinton and McCain and the other top runners are gobbling up the money and the political aides and workers so fast..that anyone coming in late will have nothing left.
I am not giving an opinion...just reporting what I have heard.
Lord knows I've been wrong as often as anyone, but I continue to believe a governor or past governor has a better chance of winning.
Something about Webb makes my skin crawl.
So would I. Are the "transcripts" of the Sunday Talk Shows edited by the speakers (a la _The Congressional Record_) or are they verbatim ("raw") records of what was ACTUALLY said at the time?
I was being sarc as well. But it's a funny idea.
My liberal son called me and said, "I guess you're happy today." Then he mentioned Molly's passing. I said, "no, I'm not glad she's dead." Then he quoted (same story) about how funny she was.
So I said, I guess it depends on your point of view. I think Ann Coulter is funny. Much as we might hate to admit it, she's kind of the Molly of the Right (and I mean that in both senses of the word).
He didn't say much after that, but I never argue politics with my dear little boy. He just fell into the dark side because of his liberal wife.
I agree. Webb is creepy.
I'm not sure I'm quite ready to trust our intel agencies again. If they were so wrong about WMD (I'm not saying they were...I think much info remains highly classified), how can they be right now?
Both parties glean the information that suits their interests, while belittling the intel that doesn't suit their purpose. I doubt there's been significant turnover in these agencies, so why should I trust them?
Yeah, I know. Democrats have a unique problem because Hillary has more money than any previous candidate has ever had to run, and she's a force that is probably impossible to overcome on their side.
Or maybe a one-term senator (John Cornyn) or a really attractive press secretary (Tony Snow).
Maybe one or the other in 2012...they'll still be young.
