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!

It's REALLY good this week folks. Check it out!

Thanks Alas, but these lineups are sooooooo weak I’m going to play golf.

[Alas Babylon!]

No awards have been selected yet from last week, folks.

Thanks, AB & Good Morning to EveryOne!

Chris Wallace fastly edging below 1 million mark in viewer-ratings, found a way to increase his ratings - atleast in his mind. Now, he comes out of the liberal-closet & officially he is now a left-wing hero.

Fox's Chris Wallace Backs Obama On Flag Pin.

Barack Obama has an unexpected ally in the spat over his decision to stop wearing an American flag lapel pin, which he says has become a substitute for "true patriotism" since 9/11.

Chris Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday, said this morning that he doesn't wear a flag pin either "because I kind of agree [with Obama] to the extent that I think that you can be a true patriot and not wear it."

Fox legal correspondent Judge Andrew Napolitano declared that Obama was "disrespecting the American flag" to appeal "to a hard-left audience."

[George W. Bush]

Perkins might be worth watching on CBS. They’ll ask about the Religious Right plan to run a third-party candidate if the leftwing mayor is the GOP’s nominee.

[anita]

You mean, 2008 version Ross Perot?

[jmyrlefuller]

Pelosi, Edwards, Rangel, Richardson AND Corzine? And they balance that out by— Mike Leavitt, Adam Putnam and Tony Perkins?

I don’t know what to say. This is turning into nothing short of a liberal orgy.

[Bahbah]

"because I kind of agree [with Obama] to the extent that I think that you can be a true patriot and not wear it."

What an inane statement. A real "Well, duh!" moment for Wallace. It's not about whether he wears one or not, it's about his decision to be ostentatious about it.

[mainepatsfan]

Will Edwards refer all questions regarding Hillary to his wife?

[plumcrazy]

There will be nothing “fair and balanced” on Fox News with Wallace today. What trash.

I’m not watching today.

Here are the ratings from two week's ago's "Hillary-O-Rama:"

Meet the Press : 2.5/7, 3,160,000 viewers
This Week      : 1.9/5, 2,450,000 viewers
Face the Nation: 1.8/5, 2,310,000 viewers
Fox News Sunday: 1.0/3, 1,330,000 viewers

Check out Phsstpok’s thread in post 2.

He has a great chart on the dem candidate appearances versus the Repblican candidates. It’s 8-0 dems versus Republicans.

[anita]

Don't question their patriotism! :-)

[JohnLongIsland]

i guess schmuckie took off for the columbus day weekend.

[anita]

The previous week before Hillary, Wallace's rating was 1,030,000 viewers, so he thought having the liberals could boost his ratings.

I vaguely remember Roger Ailes was saying - Even a Racoon on Fox would beat CNN anytime - while signing up with Greta Van Sustern. Sadly, all those anchor sign-ups ended like (liberal)Racoons.

[jmyrlefuller]

I noticed. I also noticed that 5 of the 8 Democrats have appeared, but only 3 of the 10 Republican candidates (Alan Keyes dutifully excluded) and, as he so duly noted out, none since September 16. While the talkies prominently feature Clinton and two of her potential VPs in Biden and Richardson, the Republicans they promote? McCain, Huckabee and “No Chance” Brownback.

Obama has also been interestingly shunned, although I do recall him appearing back this summer. Looks like the MSM is positioning itself in the role of Queenmaker.

Rvery week, the same thing:

Godzilla (D)
Dracula (D)
Frankensiein (D)
Jason VI (D)

VS.

Bambi (r)
Thumper(r)
Little Mermaiaid (r)
Ol’ Yeller (rino - dead)

[jmyrlefuller]

Watch out for Bambi (R). The Dems killed his mother and now he’s got a mean streak.

Oh, wait, hold on.

This just in, Meet the Press has just dropped “Bambi” from the schedule and replaced him with Freddy Krueger (D).

Good Morning, All. Did anyone see the strategists Angela & Julie on Fox & Friends debating ‘08? Angela says she’s confident that the GOP can beat Hillary on her policies and scandals. Julie laughs and shrieks in a snarky tone—what scandals??? With all of Rudy’s hundreds of marriages? You people have been going after Hillary for 20 years... Angela very calmly explained how it’s not a given that women are voting for her, nor are blacks. But Julie concluded that Hillary is going to be the next president. And I concluded that they are nasty and delusional...and again, screamed at the TV.
