Kewl pic. Thx.

I actually learned something from Olberman.

Carter and Ford had an agreement that the survivor would speak at the deceased one's funeral. Nice.

[leadpenny]

Now is the time to switch to C-SPAN if you're watching the funeral. No talking heads.

Tom Brokaw a national treasure? Yuck!! I'm with you Bah, wishing Brokaw would just shut up. Brokaw, other has been anchors, and former presidents, should be not seen and not heard!

[Springman]

NPR has had very good coverage. Just introducing the speakers, no other comments.

lp, did you have to roll down the windows for your dogs?

Happy New Year!!!! Has to be better than the last week of last year:(

Carter and Ford had an agreement that the survivor would speak at the deceased one's funeral. Nice.

If Carter kept his promise, I missed it.

Good morning ping.

Imus on the service for former Prez Ford: "Bill Clinton looked a little uncomfortable, didn't he. They'll have to hold his a Hooters."

[Bahbah]

Miklaszewski: The execution of Saddam is a...get this...public relations disaster...for the Bush Administration no less.

[leadpenny]

I heard the Hooters comment. Good one. You just know Imus couldn't wait to use it.

Bartlett said they'd probably bury him (Imus) in a volcano.

Miklaszewski says the Prez has all but decided to go for the surge option in Baghdad.

[Bahbah]

Did Miklaszewski have to run to the mic this morning or did he sound all excited and out of breath just because he could say negative things about the President?

[leadpenny]

A news item on Yahoo says they will execute two of Saddam's pals tomorrow.

Tried to listen to Imus this morning, but 3 strikes and you're out. First while playing Pres. Bush's comments about Gerald Ford Imus mumbled something about lying us into war. Click 1. Next Meachum comes on and the first words out his mouth something like "now we know Iraq is a disaster". Click 2. Last but not least click 3 was Imus and the whole crew joking about where Gerald Ford is laying right now. Saying the place looking like a Ford Dealership and making Car Sale jokes about it. How disrespectful can they be.

I saw just a headline this morning something like "Obama admit to cocaine use". Anybody know anything about that?

[McGruff]

I must say after hearing Bernie quote some of these comments I have more respect for Saddam than his executioners. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's dead. Just he showed more class in his final moments than those who hanged him.

Saddam hanging nearly halted over jeers-prosecutor ^

Posted by Anti-Bubba182 On 01/03/2007 3:23:15 AM EST · 19 replies · 432+ views Reuters ^ | January 2, 2007 | Staff BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A senior Iraqi court official nearly halted Saddam Hussein's execution when supporters of a radical Shi'ite cleric and militia leader taunted the former president as he stood on the gallows. Prosecutor Munkith al-Faroon, who is heard appealing for order on explicit Internet video of Saturday's hanging that has inflamed sectarian passions, said on Tuesday he threatened to leave if the jeering did not stop -- and that would have halted the execution as a prosecution observer must be present by law. "I threatened to leave," Faroon told Reuters. "They knew that if I left, the execution could...

"Anybody know anything about that?"

I can't say I care what he was doing in the 70s. I don't care for him one way or the other.

[roses of sharon]

You missed Imus joking about hanging Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, ect, in great detail, explaining how they would have behaved in comparison to Saddam. (wetting themselves, running, ect)

Of course, since Imus supports and aides the enemy he thought Saddam was a brave man.

Sickening as usual.

Good morning all.

Listed guests so far are Craig Crawford and Denise Austin. Do some of these people pay MSNBC for their appearances?

[Bahbah]

I see crazy John McCain will also make an appearance.

Pelosi: "This Congress is going to be about children."

Oh boy.
