Somebody yesterday referred to Reagan as NON Reagan. LOL

That's what Laura Ingraham calls him! Non Reagan. Love it.

[rodguy911]

Pro ballplayers don't quite fit the NPR/Juan Willims mold, they are way too capitalistic.

[rodguy911]

A friend of mine is a retired stockbroker who made tons of dough. He says Cramer has no credibility in the industry among the top guys.

[texasbluebell]

My wife wants to know exactly how old Dr. Georgia Whitkin,now on FNC, actually is.

I don't know, but did you know Dr. Ruth Westheimer -- yes, that Dr. Ruth -- is her mother?

[Bahbah]

Do not miss the UN guy interviewed by Chris Wallace. They are having sex with children because they don't have the resources to provide other recreational outlets. Bwahahahaha. I guess it's difficult to be a spokesman when you have absolutely nothing good to go on.

[rodguy911]

No way!!

[rodguy911]

Can't I'll be in Key West.

[chiller]

It clearly seemed that Condi did not want to close the door on the idea and lock it.

[jackbill]

Cramer was paid $5 million for his advise and consent. He's a pump and dump con artist who would be in jail right now if they could find a cell large enough to fit his ego.

Cramer is a DemocRAT. Fits, doesn't it?

[gov_bean_ counter]

His nose reminds me of the Chunnel opening in FRance. LOL.

Or a two door garage.

[OldFriend]

I heard Monica's sister on the air one day. She's a prof at Rutgers if I remember correctly. Typical lib, blah blah blah, didn't say a thing of consequence.

[Bahbah]

I'll be in Key West.

Stop rubbing it in, will you, rodguy ;) One of my girls was down there last week, btw. Loved it. On the Wallace interview, it was, in substance and tone, 1,000 times better than any interview Timmy has ever done. He was totally preparted and did not engage in that irritating practice of letting the interviewee make his point with no rebuttle, which I think happens when the interviewer doesn't really know what he or she is doing or talking about.

[Claytay]

I heard that too and was laughing my a$$ off. I mean that was probably the stupidest response I have ever heard.

[OldFriend]

Ford is planning on running for Frist's senate seat so count on seeing his face all over the TV.....

Wallace is a lib at heart so he'll be part of the promotion tour for Ford.

[Carolinamom]

Very interesting that she's a prof...not surprised that she is a lib. What does she teach?

[Bahbah]

Midnight basketball for UN peace keepers maybe?

[Claytay]

Wallace does pretty good but I really miss Tony Snow doing FoxNews Sunday. When he was doing it I never missed an episode.

[CDB]

Why doesn't Russert give Condi a whole hour like he did for Kerry and Kennedy? For that matter, why have Kofi Annan, Waxman, Lugar, Holbrooke, Dodd, Biden (again and then again), and Lott?

How are guests scheduled? Does the MSM network have to approve? How about timing, duration of "interview," etc.? The networks should be upfront/"transparent" about this. Once again, AB, thanks very much for providing us FReepers with a place to visit first thing on Sunday morning (out here on the Left Coast) is 7:39 am. FNS doesn't come on until 8:00 am PST in my neck of the woods).

[Claytay]

Hell just teach them to play Texas Hold 'Em. That keeps my friends and me busy for hours.

[texasbluebell]

She sure is.
