OK, starting to post the research and memes. First up

NBC Meet The Press (Tim Russert)

Meme:
- The fax went out from the DNC to reporters: use the DNC spin on every issue as fact and any Republican who disagrees is therefore a liar
- Promote Huck, promote Huck, promote Huck, promote Huck, promote Huck, promote Huck, promote Huck, we can easily beat him.
- Liberal reporters: "Rudy is a womanizer who was unfaithful to his wife... no one like that can be allowed to be president... er... oops..."
- Liberal reporters: "OK, try this one, taxpayers paid for guarding his mistress. Yeah, that's it, he misused government resources to further his sex life... no one like that can be allowed to be president... er... oops..."

CBS Face The Nation (Bob Schieffer)

Meme:
- With two such stalwart supporters of Bush on the Tiffany Network, it will be all Bush praise all the time - yup, that's the ticket
- Ol' Bob is happy at last... all "good," reliable guests - warm up the sound bite recorders
- The intelligence community was completely wrong about WMD in Iraq and we should never believe them again... except this time
- The CIA told the Dhimmicrats about the video... no they didn't... yes they did... OK, but they only said they were going to destroy it, not that they had. It depends on what the meaning of "told" is.
- Jay Rockefeller should break the law and his sworn oath and leak classified information that can be spun against Bush
- Chuck Hagel may yet run for the White House... as a Democrat - sheesh!
