[Alas Babylon!]

Boring. At least no McCain (he's hiding from the press after his free health care for illegal aliens debacle). LIEberman whining. Kerry running. Palestinians and Israelis shouting at (and past) each other.

As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

[DoctorMichael]

Pretty quiet so far on C-Span.

There were actually some conservative callers that got through during the first hour (7-8 AM EST) where the call-in question was about Health Care.

LIE-BERMAN ALERT!!!!

Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.)

Didn't he bag some woman who was heiress to the Heinze Ketchup fortune, worth something like $567,000,000?

I want to post a picture from American Giggalo.

[freekitty]

Boring sure is the right word. I can't even watch them anymore. They are so politically correct. They are so bought and paid for. I would rather get my news from FreeRepublic. Thank you very much.

Senator Joe Lieberman - Conn (D)

WOW REALLY? they actually got through were they allowed to talk or just get dialtone ?

[katykelly]

Their call sreener must have taken a sick day.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Do you guys actually think OBL can get by with doing a live broadcast? without us knowing where hes going to pop up or find where hes at on the fourth of july? isnt there a way to trace back to where hes broadcasting from if its live ?

Or is he just playing games with our Independence day?

[Alas Babylon!]

Frankly, I don't believe Osama is even alive. We'll see. Maybe they got an OBL look-alike. I remember last Fall there was talk about Osama having a bunch of doubles riding around Afghanistan in order to confuse us.

Is just hard to believe such a publicity hound (at least with the Islamic masses) could remain silent these past several months.

[SkyPilot]

Here is a photo of John Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinze, heiress to the ketchup and condiment fortune.

Apparently, Johnny married her and got the big bucks after her previous husband (also a senator) died.

I wonder if she gives Sen Ketchup an allowance?

Brit Hume was just interviewing Sen. Bob Graham (D-FL) on FOX's show. Graham was being asked about the security leak of the NSA info. Graham was unwilling to pin it on a Congressional source, said news accounts varied. Hume brought up a screen showing CNN's online account citing "several Congressional sources". FOX apparently had the info a couple of weeks ago, but reprted a sanitized version of it. Seems to me, unless CNN is lying, we could have not just one leaker, but a few...

[not-alone]

Kerry finding fault " We didn't do enough at Tora Bora" I only heard the end of his comments . Did anyone hear it all?

What did Kerry have in mind, throwing his medals at them?

[SkyPilot]

HAHAHAH!

[Right_in_Virginia]

"What did Kerry have in mind, throwing his medals at them?"

Isn't it amazing how this is NEVER mentioned whenever the media (including Fox) drool all over this "war hero"?

[not-alone]

Maybe sending his wife over, from what I read on another thread she gives him a hard time.

[SkyPilot]

Kerry finding fault " We didn't do enough at Tora Bora"

Hey, Senator Giggalo...maybe you and your wife could ship some condiments to help our soldiers eating MRE's and getting shot at. After all, you married a woman with the net worth of Ft Knox.

But hey, you Democrats are "for the little guy"-----right???

[mware]

The Fox Sunday Roundtable discussing leaks. Said Carl Cameron got his information from Intelligence Agency with the request not to be specific. The more specific information seems to have been confirmed by someone in congress, although the information was out there. They just had the sense not to reveal the specific details.
