Preview and analysis for Weekend Talk Shows, 10-14-06 and 10-15-06
Week six of the "official mid-term election campaign coverage" (as if it campaign coverage ever stops) and the DBM is in panic mode. The plot to drive out the "evil Republicans" by using Iraq is in tatters since every time they forced the President to talk about Iraq and the War On Terror his polls and the Republican's polls go up, so they had to get off of that real quick. Then they went to the dugout for their "relief slander" and pulled out the Foley scandal 3 weeks early, because trends weren't looking good and "real reporters" in the DBM were beginning to ask questions about the total BS that Billy Jeff had been spouting off in his meltdown on Fox. Can't have that! A little problem with that strategy, though, since they don't have all of the "facts" nailed down in their favor and they also have to trash the gay community in the process. Harvey Fierstein and friends are really getting pissed about that. And they expected this tactic to gross out those Neanderthal Christians who would clearly run away from the Republicans because they tolerate (horrors) homos in their midst. Unfortunately the near universal reaction from the Christian conservative community is "they think we're Neanderthals?" And on top of that those same folks are now saying "you know, I was toying with the idea of staying home on election day... but NOW...." The other key comment in relation to the alleged Republicans who are "secretly gay" is along the lines of "hate the sin, love the sinner" and talking about wanting to protect and support these poor people who are being victimized by the real enemy. Not good from the Dhimmicrat point of view.
On top of that heavy handed and obviously phony push polls were being trumpeted all week by the DBM (the pubbie's are DOOOMED! and should give up now... stay home... stay home). But it didn't have the desired affect and there are signs of a growing backlash as proof comes out that la cage aux Foley was an orchestrated plot by high ranking Dhimmicrat operatives and Soros funded shadow groups who had the information and kept it secret in a clear criminal conspiracy. So, it's time to haul out the next "master strategy that is guaranteed to win back Congress for the rightful masters of the little people™." What plan, you ask? Simple, get more push polls and use their "conclusions" as the basis for claiming that the Dhimmicrats are really the party of a tough aggressive foreign policy!
No, really. Stop laughing. I mean it.
But how in the hell did Karl Rove convince Lil Kimmah in North Korea to set off a nuke just 4 weeks before the election? Damn that Rove!
On to the shows.
NBC Meet The Press continues their Senate debate series with the Minnesota race between Klobuchar (D) and Kennedy (R). The Red Star Tribune has already declared this race over, so why bother having the vote? And Lil Timmah will, of course, be asking the tough questions of the Democrat Socialist DFL candidate about whether she will support Harry Reid even if he is convicted of taking bribes and helping the Mafia. What? Lil Timmah isn't going to ask anything remotely like that? Well surprise, surprise, surprise!
CBS Face The Nation goes for the A team on foreign policy this week, but is it because Secretary Rice reportedly made sympathetic statements about the Palestinians having the right to live "without occupation" or because they think they can play "gotcha" over the latest dream sequence from Bob Woodward's book? Warner is clearly on the air on CBS to talk about how bad he thinks things are going in Iraq. After all, he hasn't been on the DBM screaming head shows in several weeks so he figures they have to book him after he says something critical that they can spin against Bush. Isn't that a rule? Sam Nunn has been working against nuclear proliferation ever since he left the Senate, concentrating on the problems with exactly the same countries that President Bush labeled the "Axis of Evil," but CBS hasn't thought it was important enough to talk to him (that might help Bush on his "axis of evil" stuff, dontcha know?). Now, of course, in the aftermath of Lil Kimmah setting off his "nuke" (it is NOT a fizzle! don't believe those lying scientists! believe the dear leader or you will be shot!) they can take what Nunn says and spin it to make GWB look bad. CBS booking department! Get that man scheduled ASAP!
Fox News Sunday isn't content with having given air time to Billy Jeff Clinton a few weeks ago (and allowed him to call life long card carrying Democrat Chris Wallace a right wing hit man), now they have decided to give equal time to... John Kerry! Oh the humanity! Bets are open on how long it will take Ketchup Boy to attack Vietnam vets per se this Sunday. Doesn't it dawn on him that by making the term "swift boating" into a negative verb he is trashing his own claim to fame as a "hero" from Vietnam? Nope - he's just not that bright. Kerry will be the lead Ho in the new Democrat Gung Ho campaign to prove to everyone how tough they are (he served in Vietnam, did you know that?). Secretary Rice is also on Fox but I don't expect much critical commentary on her reported "love fest" with Hamas, but I fully expect questions about Woodward's books. Bets, anyone? I'm almost willing to guarantee that no questions will be raised about Reid's little shell game with federal land swaps that netted him nearly a million dollars profit or recent calls for Sandy Burglar's pants stuffing habit to be investigated. That might make the Dhimmicrats angry and Chris wants to be invited back to the cocktail parties. He's ronery since Bill dissed him. Our only hope in that regard is Brit, but he's been noticeably reticent on that topic on his own show since it broke.
ABC This Week Gives us John Bolton in place of Secretary Rice, but still the A team in my estimation. I fully expect a "blame the current President and ignore the previous President" tag team match during not only this interview, undoubtedly with Georgie Steponallofus, but also during the "I hate the Bush family more than you do" roundtable in the last half hour of this show. The Ford vs. Corker segment on Tennessee's Senate race will probably be interesting, if only to expose the DBM's plan for how they intend to attack Corker between now and election day. But, OK, I admit, I'm going to watch the show this week because they've got Marg Helgenberger on in the voices segment. Forgive me. I am weak.
CNN Late Edition also offers us Ambassador Bolton this week. Do they have some secret evidence they plan to spring on him of how he or Bush or Rice or Rove really engineered 9/11 in order to support the JOOOOOOS and steal the oil from the innocent and peace loving MOOOSLIMS? I doubt it, but somehow that thought always occurs to me when anyone other than Fox books Ambassador Bolton (and I'm beginning to worry about Fox). Beyond the Ambassador and GOP chairman Mehlman the rest of CNN is a Bush hate fest this week. Are they truly that desperate, ? Will they start broadcasting "all Cindy Sheehan all the time?" Of course not. As Rush says, if they make it obvious who they are and what they want then they lose. They're counting on fooling us again. So go ahead, tell us again how Democrats are really the party that wants to fight and protect us from the Jihadis. What? Surrender is your best strategy? Bad move, Bozos.
I'm always tempted to drop the Saturday shows from my preview but Opinion Journal always argues against that and then we have weeks like this which offer faint hope for some of the other shows. The Beltway Boys are following way too predictable a scenario for me, which is getting really boring. I hope that maybe even once a decade they get outside of the beltway and realize that there is a "real world" out here (the quotes are for them, not me) that they just don't have a clue about. Unless, of course, they surprise me this week? Nah! Lil Timmah Russert's show with Bob Woodward is totally lame and I think even he knows it. Mark your calendars. This may be the last "semi" network appearance of Bob Woodward regarding his failed "number one best seller" which has been trounced four to one by O'Reilly, for God's sake, on the "best seller" lists. And now word starts to come out that he betrayed snakehead having spilled the beansto Darth Cheney about Kerry's "Ohio strategy" in 2004 which has gotten the DUmmies all pissed at him. Lil Timmah's email has probably been overflowing with nastygrams about Woodward.
Okay, so that leaves me with my bottom line for this week. It appears that the dims are in denial (the Polls are 150% accurate, trust them, they are planning our entire future based on those fantasies). The pollsters are desperately trying to deny their own complicity in the current fraud because they know it's their last desperate gasp of legitimacy before they get swept away by this nasty concept called REALITY! I'm betting that the strategy du jour of selling the dims as the party of tough foreign policy won't last out the day and that this upcoming week will be dominated by bad news for Reid and worse news for dims implicated in la cage aux Foley. That means... tada... that they'll role out yet another "master strategy that is guaranteed to win back Congress for the rightful masters of the little people™." Acme Political Consulting must sell them those things by the gross.
This has been cross posted to my blog at Wizards.townhall.com. This post exists primarily as a heads up for who is on the weekend talks shows, what they've been invited on to push (based on their recent pronouncements) and the spin (meme) the DBM is likely trying to push based on that information. All of this is prep work for the weekly Sunday Morning Talk Show thread posted by Alas Babylon!. That thread provides a live commentary and analysis of the Sunday talking head shows, with rare insight and exceptional fact checking. we are the Jedi Council of FreeRepublic, at least in regards to these DBM gabfests. You wanna know what was said and what it meant, as well as where they messed up? Read that thread!
I'll post a link to Mark Kilmer's excellent preview of the Sunday shows over at RedState.COM when it is up.
I'll also post a link to this Sunday's live thread here when it is up.

When I went to post this thread I got two errors. First I had too many topics and the system said that it had to be limited to four.
But then it also said that I could only have four keywords and wouldn't let me post until I'd chopped that list down too. I know I always post more keywords than that. I looked at last weeks thread and confirmed it was way more than four.
Is this new? Did I do something else wrong?
A picture! How could I forget the rules and fail to post a picture! Thanks for covering for me.
I won't be on FR for the next few hours. I'm heading out to GOP county campaign HQ to man the phone bank for a few hours. First time, so I'll stumble through a bit. They're also going to give me phone lists to call from home, which will give me something to do when I have to hide in a dark room because my eyes are giving me grief. I'll even get them to print out the list in a big font, if I can. Even if I can't see much I can still make phone calls!
Go out and get involved. Only a few weeks left and this election is going to be 100% decided on turn out. Don't pay any attention to the push polls. They are trying to discourage us and suppress our turn out. Don't let the SOBs win.
After all, when was the last time the polls got the elections right?
WHAT! No John McCain! I'm sooo depressed.
Thanks for the great posts and thread, Phsstpok!
I was just getting ready to post about the AF War Memorial. It's also supposed to be on C-Span (they said starting at 1:30 - schedule subject to change). Of course, they won't have Brian Wilson in a flight suit and in an F-16 flight w the Thunderbirds. Rummy is supposed to be there and I believe the President's speech is scheduled for either 1:30 or 2:30 ET.
BTW - Wonder if they'll ask sKerry about Studds who passed away early this a.m. - from a 'head injury while walking his dog'??? Weird, eh? I'd love for them to say something like:
Sen Kerry, the Dims are making such a fuss about Foley, who apparently communicated back and forth with FORMER pages of 17, 18 or 21; however, while he was censured, little was said years ago about former Rep Studds who had sex with a page. How do you explain that - - isn't it just partisan politics on the Dims side, and, especially to have it come out right before the election?
I also hope that for ONCE the have the Dims on 1st then the Pubbies. They always have the Dims on last and they try to counter whatever the Pubbie said - - they Pubbies never have an opportunity for rebuttal. I know Deaniac said he would never appear at the same time as a Pubbie - - wonder if it's also in his contracts that he always gets to go last???
Hi Rod,
Glad you made it back from your trip safe and sound.
Mark Levin has also been saying don't listen to the polls - last night he even said don't watch the Sunday Shows (LOL!) - no point in listening to the spin and getting depressed. He's been passionate all week about what will happen to the country if the Dims take over, how we can't let that happen and that everyone must go out and vote Pubbie. He said, if you don't like something, take it up w them AFTER the election. It's too important to not vote and we should all encourage others to do so. He's addressed his talks to Republicans, conservatives, Democrats and independents. Last night he said come on all you Regan Democrats - you must get out and vote for Republicans.
It's not the same as seeing him. Don't try and cheer up! :-)
More info on Studds. First it was reported he had a head injury while walking his dog, now they're saying it was apparently a blood clot. Rather bizarre the HUGH discrepancy in the cause and initial story to later one

BOSTON -- Former U.S. Rep. Gerry Studds, the first openly gay person elected to Congress, died early Saturday at Boston Medical Center, several days after he collapsed while walking his dog, his husband said. He was 69.
Studds fell unconscious Oct. 3 because of what doctors later determined was a blood clot in his lung, Dean Hara said.
Studds regained consciousness, remained in the hospital, and seemed to be improving. He was scheduled to be transferred to a rehabilitation center, but his condition deteriorated Friday and he died at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, Hara said.

First, thanks Phsstpok for the posting.
I have not listened to Mark Levin so I really don't know what he's been saying. But, if this is what he's putting out there he is absolutely right. I've never seen so many Republicans running around like Chicken Little proclaiming the sky is falling.
IF the Democrats win the House and Senate next month what would that mean? To me it would mean a party does not need a plan, a program, a position on issues that I believe are important in order to win. All they have to do is bash the other guy, make a lot of false accusiations and demonize the other side. If voters fall for that there's not much we can do about it.
In the mean time I'll keep the faith that voters will see through all this crap.
I fully expect to hear that Dingy Harry has checked into a rehab clinic.
Except, Reid would have to understand he did something wrong. I'm not convinced he understands that. To him, this is all just business as usual. If anything, this is only a GOP dirty trick against an honest politician.
I agree. I think I will be finishing some of those around the house projects over the next few weeks.
I am enjoying the run up to the dedication of the Air Force Memorial.
Nope, if this story gets legs, the democrats can't have him out in public dodging questions. Rehab or the hospital, mark my words.
I expected Dingy Harry to be on every Sunday Morning show explaining his land deal. </ sarcasm>
I have to work tomorrow, so I'll try to keep track of the Sunday show thread from work. No TV here, so I'll just have to make the best of FR posts.
I just did an analysis of all the DBM's (including FNC) political web sites. I wanted to see if there really is bias in the DBM. I wasn't surprised to find it, of course.
I used the Foley "Scandal" versus the newly brewing information about Harry Reid.
The Foley scandal broke the day he resigned, Friday, Sept 29th. The Harry Reid scandal first broke on Tuesday the 10th, with the Solomon story on AP. Four days after the Foley story, every major DBM outlet, print and television, had it as the top story. Four days after the Reid story broke, only a few of the DBM have highlighted it, and then none as their top story.
Foley resigned after being outed. Reid is still serving as the top national elected democrat in the world.
Foley's supposed sexual predation of House pages, several perhaps underage, has led to calls for Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House of Representatives, to step down, from within his own party, by almost all the top democrats, and by most of the DBM. Harry Reid has been asked to step down by a only couple of media outlets (Philadelphia Inquirer).
The television political web sites as of 10:00 AM CDT, Saturday 14 Oct 2006. Only two have any information on the Harry Reid Land Deal Swindle (as of my posting--note that these pages will probably be updated as time goes on):
The DBM says that there really is no bias in their reporting, and that just as conservatives state there is bias towards the Left, Leftists state there is bias to the Right (as the DBM is owned by big corporations, who are Rightists). However, an objective analysis shows that when it comes to the Foley versus Reid scandals, the one damaging to the Republicans has been disseminated far and wide, while the one involving the Democrats has gotten virtually no coverage. The Foley scandal has worked its way into the national consciousness, hurting the Republican chances at keeping control of the government (indeed, a story the DBM is directly reporting and attributing to their coverage of the Foley scandal), while it appears that suppressing the Reid scandal is being done with the express desire to ensure it doesn't harm Democratic political chances in the coming election.
ROFLOL!
I am very glad that you did that. I worry often that they have no idea how deep and ferocious that support is. Maybe a good time to remind folks about americasupportsyou.mil. Not as goood as face to face, but a good thing to do now and then to visit and say thanks.
"but why don't the rest get it?"
I don't know. I think some of them (Laura I immediately calling for Hastert to resign and many of the screaming about the Dubai port deal come to mind)don't do the due diligence they should and/or don't think logically through a story. FReepers do more investigation than many of them - - and they have Staff to do it for them! They're like some in the DBM - want to be the first out of the box w an opinion/story. Or, perhaps some of them want to look like they're mavericks and don't always cater to the conservative/Pubbie point of view. All they'd have to do is look at the history of polling in the past couple of elections and the demographics and questions being asked in the polls to know something isn't 'right'. Guess it's easier for them to help the DBM spout their nonsense than to do a little work, formulate new and different talking points and expound on differences.
"It's never been more foolish than now to listen to the pap coming from the DBM."
You are so right!
"Also I am not holding my breath hoping that any of the Sunday shows will have dingy harry on defending how he made 1.1 million bucks off 400,000, ala hillary style, he stole it!!
That story is bound to be buried deep in the archives of the msm."
Quite frankly, I was shocked that AP broke the story and a few others included it. But, I don't expect it to get much traction and, agree with you, it will be buried. There was a female attorney being interviewed by Greg Kelley (I like Kelly Wright better). He pretty much let her go on about how Reid really didn't do anything wrong, just some technicalities, yada, yada, yada. It's always a 'technicality' if a Dim does it but if a Pubbie does something similar or less, they must be censured and/or kicked out of Congress. I hope the Senate Ethics Committee investigates it, but I'm not holding my breath.
Good point! I don't recall hearing about ol' Rocky in quite some time. Wonder how his back is doing. Wonder if anyone from the DOJ/CIA and/or FBI has spoken w him.
Then consider the media. If Democrats lose next month that would mean that old media wisdom has not only failed but has been wrong for four election cycles. What will they do in 2008? Can the media say "trust us again" when they have been so wrong for so long?
From this perspective I just don't believe it. I'll know one way or the other on November 8 but for now I refuse to allow either the Democrats or media dictate my enthusiasm or belief we'll win again in 24 days.
I hope you're not saying they need to find the body of a dead Congressional page buried on Dirty Harry's land before the DbM take notice.
18 pages of land deals!!!! - - Oh what a tangled web he weaves....
Frist needs to get on this. I've heard (think it was from Mark Levin - but it could have been from a couple of places, including FR) that Republicans aren't street fighters like the Dims, and I believe that to be true. I don't want them to go down in the gutter like the Clintonistas do, but they need to start fighting back more, calling the Dims on wrongdoings, and be a bit more punctual about it. Geez, they are now going to investigate Sandy Burglar. From what I've read is that the DOJ asked them to wait until the the trial, etc. was over. - - IIRC that was over about a year ago - - now, they're just getting around to it. I support the President and Republicans as much as anyone (more than some) but dang, sometimes they look like, well, quite frankly bumbling idiots - - they need to get their act and their talking points together (apparently they don't receive the daily (hourly) faxes like the Dims do.
I am an eternal optimist and think we can still pull this election out, but the Pubbies need to GOTV and start hammering back (in a 'nice' way, of course ;-) - -
Santorum wasn't letting Casey get away w anything on the debate and Corker was going after Ford (he looked like a fast-talking snake).
I had planned on doing a lot of work around the house today, but just finished watching the Air Force Memorial Dedication. - -It was WONDERFUL. I hope a lot of people got to see this - talk about inspiring patriotism. If you missed it, it will probably reply on C-Span 1. Now I need to get to work
great work, AB. You should send this to all of the outlets, but I'd specifically want to slap Fox News Watch with this because la cage aux Foley is still one of their topics this week. This is as obvious a case of distorting the news coverage for political reasons as I've seen in quite some time.
The Fox News Watch email is Newswatch@foxnews.com
On general principle, since it deals with media bias, I'd also send it to Reliable Sources. They take info via a web page form:
http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form5.html?25
and for grins I'd send it to FNS, which is FNS@foxnews.com
The Fox News Channel phone number is 1-888-369-4762
Kerry: Bush policy 'stand still and lose'
Watch for this phrase when he's on Fox tomorrow.
Dems Facing Proven GOP Turnout Machine
AP ^ | 10/14/6 | LIZ SIDOTI
Expect to hear more stories like this and extra complaints about Republican fraud and suppressing Democrat voters. They're already trying to set up both an excuse for when they fail and the possible logic behind either legal action or, for the serious moonbats, for a revolution (or at least some violent demonstrations). This is also why the polls are getting more rapid and more slanted. Again, the WaPo poll from the week after Foley resigned was right around 50% Democrat and less than 30% Republican. And they wonder why we don't believe them and call them biased.

The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - Preview
Rice and Bolton for the GOP - Dean and Kerry for the Dems. That says it all.
By Mark Kilmer
For Sunday, October 15, 2006
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert talks to our ambassador to the U.N., John Bolton. After that, he slips into one of his little faux-debates, this one between Representative Mark Kennedy of of Minnesota and Amy Klobuchar, his DFL opponent.FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace offers us something which honeslty should have been left in the past. Q: "Have President Bush's policies left America less safe?" Answering this question in the affirmative (and "reporting for duty") will be John Kerry. He then talk to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about North Korea.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer talks to Rice then to John Warner and Sam Nunn, who co-founded the Nuclear Threat Initiative with drunken billionaire Ted Turner.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to Bolton then does one of those taped things with Bob Corker and Harold Ford.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer talks to Bolton, Howard Dean, Ken Mehlman, and Levin & Hagel.
-------------------------I find it kind of sad hearing John Bolton defend the effectiveness of the United Nations, but that's his gig now. Secretary Rice always has something significant to say, and the Warner-Nunn interview on FTN could be interesting. Howard Dean never appears opposite Ken Mehlman, and I'm not surprised. Karl Levin is a sourpuss and Chuck Hagel is odd.
Perhaps Russert can ask Klobuchar and Blitzer can ask Howard Dean about Claire McCaskill's problems.
And as always (Phsstpok) has his Talk Show preview up at FreeRepublic.
I'll have the review in this space on Sunday afternoon.

That made me chuckle, but you know, the truth is that they come to believe these polls, even though they KNOW deep down they faked them and it seems to lead to a kind of dementia.
I sent an email to Brian Ross of ABC News asking if "Brian Ross Investigates" shouldn't be renamed "Brian Ross Investigates Republicans" in light of the high fiving he's doing on his site regarding Foley and his lack of ANYTHING AT ALL on the highest ranking elected democrat....
After all, if your hyping yourself as an "investigator" shouldn't you be right down the middle non-biased?
Don't expect I'll hear an answer!
That's the 1st I've seen that about Claire - -WOW! I suspect it will go the way of the Reid dealings - DBM won't be reporting on it. Now, if they were Republicans, well, then it would be all over and numerous times each day (as AB has shown)
