There you go. Fair and balanced Sunday Morning Talk Shows. What a JOKE.

[rlmorel]

THAT was the first thing I always, ALWAYS notice. It is why I don’t watch that stuff anymore.

[Laverne]

As always, thanks for this great thread. I’ll be missing most of the shows today and look forward to reading what happened; especially the long awaited Obama on FNS interview. Will Chris be easy? Will he ask decent questions? Will he challenge the obamassiah?

I look forward to reading all the comments.

Have a nice day all.

HI AB, thanks again for all you do.

14:1 isn't than fair and balanced?

Hey truth is its better for us! the more they fly into left field the stronger we will get guaranteed!!

[SkyPilot]

5 shows; 15 guests: 14 democrats and 1 republican. Amen! And G_d Damn America!

Wow, they let a pubbie on CNN, someone is going to get beat with a wet noodle

[maica]

I would love to know if Dean and Obama have compared notes before today’s appearances
and
which interview was done first, since the times shows are aired are so variable.

[Morgan in Denver]

Good morning everyone, and thanks AB for your efforts.

It will be interesting to hear responses on Evan Bayh. IMO, he will be one of the people considered for the Dem VP.

[knarf]

This might be a good place to ask this ...

A friend of mine told me yesterday, that he had heard the stimulus payments were going out tomorrow instead of in May.

I've looked around, and have listened to various news shows, and I've heard nothing.

Anyone?

[SkyPilot]

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean.

Where it is ALL Dean.....ALL the time! Coming soon to you in HD!

[Laverne]

New audio has been uncovered of the Great Rev. From The Corner:

Jeremiah Wright: ‘We cannot see that what we are doing is the same as al-Qaeda, under a different color flag.’

Unbelievable. More on this as time goes by, I expect.

[rodguy911]

It's pretty good. They kill all the spots as well. I used to listen to it at work when I had to go in on Sunday. May be the only good thing about c-spam.

They had a question about what makes a good President or the qualification of a good President early on this morning. No one got it right. The answer was all about "leadership" and none of the callers got it right!(no surprises there)

We need a Gen. David Petraeus for President! Nothing less will do.

[rodguy911]

I just hope the DBM keeps it up,their bias can only help the New Media cause.

[rodguy911]

All I heard was that some are going out immediately electronically, the rest by mail.

[Morgan in Denver]

Morning Rodguy,

C-SPAN seems to have changed from Republican and Democrat call in lines to Obama and Hillary call in lines. Although, maybe it’s better for McCain to be ignored for now.

[knarf]

OK ... at least someone else has heard it ... there’s nothing on FR and others ... thanx.

[SkyPilot]

Jeremiah Wright: ‘We cannot see that what we are doing is the same as al-Qaeda, under a different color flag.’

Unbelievable is correct. But, not unexpected. Wright did Obama no favors by going on TV this week to whine that he is not being treated "fairly" and that HE is the real victim.

Get this - Wright used to be a Muslim.

Surprised?

Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright: Former Muslim

New Republic Reported in '07: Rev. Wright a "Former Muslim"

Rush talks about this in the link above.

I saw a Democrat analyst on TV last week. He shocked the panel by saying Obama would get creamed in the general election and the Democrats had to jettison him now.
