Thanks for the heads up-
Looks like I picked a good day to take off from work!!

Fox News is carrying it too. But I may switch to CSPAN just in case the news commentators decide that what THEY have to say is more important than the event speaker!

Thanks Howlin

FOXNews has been saying the same thing...ARRGGGGHHHH!

[McGavin999]

I heard he wasn't going to address congress until 4:00 EST. at least I hope that's right because I really want to see it and I have to go to clients this morning. ARRRRGGGGG!

[Howlin]

I always wonder why -- if WE, in our little homes and cubilces -- know the FACTS the people who are drawing a paycheck from the "media work" don't.

Question - is Fox News reporting that Blair won't address the uranium matter? That seems impossible but CNN has reported that as well.

[Howlin]

This thread is for discussing of his arrival AND the speech.

SPEECH AT 4:00 P.M. EDT

[cyncooper]

No, you didn't miss anything. The media lies or at the very least screws up the facts.

Thank you for posting this. I knew you would!

I have to leave at 4:30 edt (1:30 my time) so plan to watch what I can and I count on this thread to get me caught up when I return about three hours later.

BTW, I saw the arrival on MSNBC. They stayed with it quite awhile and I surfed and it was not on Fox or CNN (though I'll guess they showed a snippet----I hope).

I just posted an Anna Kournikova thread I'll be back.

[NeoCaveman]

I'm ready. Mr. Blair can lay the smack down now!

I'm with you .. normally I give my ratings to FNC .. but if they don't shut up .. it's off to c-span I go

Sooooooooooo .. shall we take bets on what color pantsuit Hellary wears??

Tell ya what .. whoever wins the guess, I'll donate $25 to Free Republic in their honor

[Spunky]

I have to drive my grandson to take his written driving test. .:-(

Keep me posted on all that is said.

I always wonder why -- if WE, in our little homes and cubilces -- know the FACTS the people who are drawing a paycheck from the "media work" don't.

I was just wondering why it is that we are paying these stupid congressmen and Senators over $150,000 a year, plus perks, and they can't even get the facts of a 16 word statement right. Good grief, if they can't keep 16 words straight, how on earth can we trust them to write laws?

C-SPAN1 --- Pelosi
C-SPAN2 --- Bryd

What a choice.

[dead]

Thanks alot. I just saw this thread and turned on CSPAN just in time to hear Nancy Pelosi say, "Republicans continue their unending assault on children."

I kid you not. What a skeletor-looking witch she is.
