Please check out Phsstpok’s EXCELLENT Sunday Talk Show PRE-Thread. It’s a great way to hear analysis on why the DBM picks the guests, what they’ll probably discuss, and other pertinent facts. Also, check out his blog!

FReeper txradioguy did the selections for last week. Congratulations to our winners! Read about it here (post 520)!

Thanks, AB & Good Morning to EveryOne!

Last week, Mrs.Clinton spammed the media. This week, Mr.Hillary is returning the spam favor. Whomever advising them that spamming is a good-thing......

Is Chuck Schumer an unpaid contributor on FNS? Looks-like he gets the maximum time than even the paid panel-contributor. May be Schumer could send a bill claiming fox-contributor-fees for that.

So we are reliving history where the Sunday shows are all Clinton and the spokesman for the Republicans is Trent Lott.

Is this second time farce? I sure can’t find anything to laugh about!

I wish someone would track the ratings of these shows and add the results to the thread every week. I will volunteer if anyone can tell me how to find the numbers. anita?

Good morning!

Well, last week we had all Hillary, all the time, and this week we have to put up with the man that married her, Slick Willie, as he makes appearances on Meet the Press and This Week. (Somehow I have a feeling that he wasn't interested in going back to Fox.

Instead, Fox gives us Chuck "the Schmuck" (can I say that on FR?) Schumer (D-NY) and Trent "Open" Lott (For Sale) (RINO-MS). ABC gives us, in addition to Clinton, Newt "I'm Not Running" Gingrich. A little side note: it's been a while since we've seen Sunday regular Patrick Leahy, whom as we all know Dick Cheney told so aptly to "**** [him]self." Perhaps there's a little effort by the MSM to bury the fact that there's been stalling on the Mukasey nomination. (Be careful, Dems-- hold this up too long and you could get Ted Olson on a recess appointment-- that is, if W has the fortitude to do it.)

I think I can find them, hold on...

Thanks for the thread AB, and once again Phsstpok has outdone himself on the pre-thread.
Looks like we have to issue a major BS alert for the Bubba appearances today. It could get knee deep.

Wow a full hour with Bill Richardson on Slay the Nation. What a ratings grabber! /s

[anita]

Nielson monitors them. Last week, no noticeable diffeence, except for a very small uptick for MTP (even with that all these shows are way down in ratings, especially FNS & MTP).

[TomGuy]

Last week it was Mrs. C.

This week it is Mr. C.

Co-inky-dink?

The C.’s are doing the two-fer again. Vote for her and get THEM.

[rodguy911]

Great job last week JM, is see you took home the grand prize. Off to another great start.

[Morgan in Denver]

Morning AB, anita and rodguy. Thanks for the thread, AB.

You guys sure do start early on this thread.

Rodguy, you have Freepmail.

I get to read the posts for awhile this AM too. Yahoo!

[mainepatsfan]

To go along with O.J. facing trial, Hillary pushing socialized health care, and the Cowboys and Packers being the two best teams in the NFC...we’re stuck in a mid 90’s time warp!!

So we are reliving history where the Sunday shows are all Clinton and the spokesman for the Republicans is Trent Lott.

From this week's guest line up, it appears that no Pubbies are running for the High Office.

This Week gets to question Newt about his 'I probably won't run' stance.

[rodguy911]

Great to have you aboard Morgan!!
My turn today to do the judging this week.
Looks like it cooled off a little up your way,lucky duck.

Last week, Mrs.Clinton spammed the media. This week, Mr.Hillary is returning the spam favor. Whomever advising them that spamming is a good-thing......

Today is the first day the Austin paper had the Sunday show lineup listed in several months. I saw the Impeached Rapist in chief was on the shows and thought back to last weeks replies here about the hillary interviews.

Then I noticed he was NOT on FNS. I guess he was to scared after Chris Wallace did his "conservative hit piece" on him a few months ago. What a wussie he is and complained about that incident. LOL.

[jmyrlefuller]

As Bubba once said, if you vote for Clinton, it’s “buy one, get one free.”

Morning Morgan & Rod. Missed you both for some time, may be I signed off early or you got in late.
