I think this is it....

[RandallFlagg]

Probably.
They are the enemedia's main audience.

[Tribune7]

Good point!

[CedarDave]

While waiting, for those that haven't seen it, check out this lady and her song (Poster Girl). She gets what the war is all about:

[PJ-Comix]

Yeah. I'm getting a little suspicious of the "bad sound" excuse. Anyway, I'll be checking out Nightline in a few minutes.

[RandallFlagg]

That's why I wondered if one could covertly record the interview.

> But the media has done almost everything they could to ignore us .. why all the attention now?

We shall see.

Perhaps, Mark Halperin is selling a book.

Perhaps, somebody has figured out that pissing off half your audience, out of the box, is bad for business.

Perhaps, something else.

We shall see.

[Red Steel]

Funny stuff - LoL!

[WVNan]

Like most everyone else, I will be watching Nightline for the first time in 15 years. LOL, Nightline will be wondering why their numbers are up tonight. Will probably be the best rating they have had in years. Go kristinn!!

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!

[AliVeritas]

Hildy, you have a link?

[IslandJeff]

AWESOME ping, thank you.

Halperin will be on Hugh Hewitt on Monday, in case you want to hear him get cut a thousand small times.

[elhombrelibre]

Gee, I guess I have to watch Nightline for a first time in about 8 years.

[No Blue States]

Note to self: If ever giving an interview use a pocket recorder.

When I watch a movie or listen to a song, the artists are telling me a story by becoming a character in that story, ie; I'm willfully suspending a portion of my reality to accept their character portrayal of a reality.

The less I know about the actor's personal life and belief system, the more successful they will be at telling me the story - and they will make more money because of it.

I happened to catch a little of their producer's time on H&C tonight, and no one could seem to articulate this simple fact.

Acting and singing are a couple of the few professions where the biggest single requirement for success - is to be an empty suit. The second biggest requirement is to be able to portray that emptiness successfully.

Fill that suit with anything but the next story and the career heads south simply because of that old political equation - no matter what side you are on, half the people will disagrees with you.

Fill that empty suit with a political view - any one - and one suddenly looses about half their following.

There. That's about as much as you've been able to get out of me in 10 years.

Great job so far K - I'll be watching in a few minutes.

Jim, there was a time on a patio, with beer, when this sort of thing was a dream ...

... you've gone from Bill Gates' garage to having old giants cower in your shadow.

Seriously.

Congratulations.

I'll pop in from time to time ...

Thanks for the ping.
Here and standing by!

Nightline will be wondering why their numbers are up tonight.

LOL. And if he treats her too badly we can find room on wall for Koppel's head right next to Dan Rather's :-)

[dinasour]

Thank you. You are a worthy spokesman and a worth FRiend.

[gidget7]

No there was no organized anything. A few threads posted, and some comments, but no more than any other news article about celebs.

and might I add another "God speed Jonathan" We are proud of all our soldiers!
