Listening to Jon Carry was disquieting. How can someone that cadaverous contain that much hot air?
And he delivers it out to the world in such a solemn portentous tone. He seems to think he's come down from the mount with a stone tablet.
He never answers questions, just makes canned speeches.
What really scares me is that two of the phoniest, most despicable men in politics ALMOST won.
Think I am wrong well, then, how about this from the AP? Even the war protesters get it. See below from AP:
"...Police no longer give official estimates but said privately that perhaps 10,000 to 20,000 anti-war demonstrators marched, with a smaller but still sizable number of counterprotesters also out in force. An hour into the three-hour Pentagon rally, with the temperature near freezing, protesters had peeled away to a point where fewer than 1,000 were left.
Some of the Freepers indicate counter protesters were at least 30,000. After a week long hype, only 1000 stayed to listen to Sheehan et al? This is not a mass movement. It is a limited, narrow political interest of the DemocRATS puffed all of proportion by a constant din from the MSM.
I know, I know you are saying this is a serious problem with a 4 going on 5 year war; however, don't forget we fought the Moros in the Philippines from 1899 to 1913 (14 years) and our Native American Brothers from 1620 to 1890 (270 years). There were ups, downs, many quarrels and protests but the long term nature of guerrilla war has always required time.
The DemoCRATS aren't getting anything passed that will limit the President's actions. Barring a last minute disaster, the war will go on and end in a whimper rather than a bang. In the meantime, the DemocRATS are bound to make hay over trivia--Libby, Gonzales and whatever else they can say or do to besmirch our President and his Administration.
Lurch's Botox looks very werid this morning. His upper lip and forehaed are frozen.
"Despite McCain's support for the war, why does the republican base hate him?"

The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - The Review
Madness in March
By Mark Kilmer
Sunday, March 18, 2007
On MTP, Chuckie Schumer snarled. He did offer that firing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales would give the Administration a "fresh start" at "respecting the rule of law." He said that he had "proof" that AGAG had used politics in firing the U.S. attorneys: four of them said that he did.
On FNS, fired U.S. attorney Bud Cummins insisted that he "served at the pleasure of the President," while other fired U.S. attorney David Iglesias argued that he was fired because he was going to drop the boom on Pete Domenici.
On TW, Senators Leahy and Cornyn were in almost total agreement, except that Leahy will have his Senate Judiciary Committee vote Thursday to subpoena Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, and Bill Kelley, while Senator Cornyn wants a legitimate investigation without that "political with hunt"
Next on TW, National Security Advisor Steve Hadley referred to the latest version of Pelosi-Murtha as an artificial and arbitrary timeline which they know the President will veto; he asked Congress to drop the "political charade" and pass a "responsible bill."
Also on FNS, Arlen Specter declared that Schumer had "crossed the line" by presiding over an investigation into the firing of the U.S. attorneys on one day and presiding over the DCCC and blasting Domenici on their web site the next.
The roundtable on MTP was a lot of noise, but Tom Andrews did manage to tell us that a large percentage of Iraqis sampled for some survey were more qualified to determine U.S. military strategy than were our own generals and colonels.
On FTN, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told host Bob Schieffer that we would know how the surge was working this summer but that the Iraqis were keeping their commitments.
Although she did not used the childish term, Diane Feinstein on FTN told Schieffer that AGAG and Karl Rove should be frog-marched from the White House and brought forcibly before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
On LE, host Wolf Blitzer cited the Washington Post in arguing that al Qaeda in Iraq was no threat to the U.S. mainland. National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley argued that this was because they had their hands full in Iraq; if we left, they would certainly try to attack us here. In other news, Hadley said that we would not deal with the Palestinian government of Prime Minister Ismael Haneyeh because they had not renounced violence, recognized Israel, and agreed to abide by previous agreements.
The show-by-show review is beneath the fold.

Good stuff, as usual.
Was there *any* mention on any of the shows today of GOE? We don't watch Sunday morning anymore because of the biases, but I'm just curious since it was such a large turnout for the good guys, and such a low turnout for the bad guys...:-)
Sam Waterston on This Week? Do you think they're trying to dig up dirt on Fred Thompson? Why else would Sam be a guest on a political talk show?
