UGH! MTP is out for this guy today. I can’t listen to either of these weenies. I can hear it now from Kerry that he has a “plan”.

[brivette]

Ashley Judd????????????????

[Alas Babylon!]

Everyone, please say a prayer for FReeper YaYA123, who passed away this weekend. She was a regular to the Sunday thread, and always made excellent comments and reports on the shows.

She will be missed!

Freeper YaYa123 Has Gone To Be With Her Lord!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

thank you.the live broadcasts are a help in case we get booted by National Turtle Wrestling..

Who’s on first?

[Bernard]

Good morning. On Friday's Fox & Friends, Chris Wallace said his first topic will be Britney Spears and Paris Hilton complaining about being compared to politicians such as Barack Obama. Nice display of a sense of humor, and it got the weekend off to a good start for me.

Now, if only the Sunday morning shows could explain how we are better off with Congress continuing our dependence on foreigh oil, the weekend would be even better.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Probably has alot to say about her troop tours, I believe she goes to do shows for the troops.

Can’t wait to hear Pelosi ! ha. Of course they will not have her facing any Republican.

And Carly Fiorna better get her act together..she comes off so namby pampy.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yup.

From Fox News:
And, we'll take a look back at a classic Power Player, who uses her fame to help stop a global epidemic: Ashley Judd, actress and YouthAIDS global ambassador.

[brivette]

can”t wait.........

[Bahbah]

I was exceedingly fond of YaYa123. She had a sharp wit and was so funny and spot on in her observations. I miss her.

[Morgan in Denver]

I’m hoping Pelosi will tell us more about her saving the world plans.

[sirchtruth]

Great! All liberals, or liberal coddlers.

[rodguy911]

Thanks for the thread today AB always much appreciated!

Can't wait to see Stuffy Stephy grill Piglosi(like that will happen)

[rodguy911]

Will do she is in a much better place.

[cajungirl]

mark

[rodguy911]

Wallace is definitely a RIH.

[rodguy911]

It starts with energy conservation,like turning the power off to the house....

[evad]

Holey Shiiite Batman...what a group.

Is there any way we can spray this page with ZAP and all these reprehensible beings will disappear??

[Miss Didi]

Good morning, FRiends. Gosh, what a cast of characters today! If anything, Rush will have some groovy sound bites for tomorrow. Wonder if Queen Bee will mention all the calls to her office on Friday. Tom R. and Joe L. must still be trying out for VP. David Rodham Gergan might be interesting...he was the first to speak against Boy Wonder. And good old Lurch...taking a break from summer windsurfing to tell us he has some plan.

[TomGuy]

There must be a sum total of 14 people who can face the media.

We see the same ole faces, same ole names, get the same ole political pitches, week after week after week.

Can’t the weekend talkie programs find a new face or two????

[johnny7]

Ashley Judd????????????????

Agree... why not Ludacris?!! ;)

[Arrowhead1952]

I'm sure Madame speaker will be asked to explain this ordeal.

BREAKING!!!! HOUSE REPUBLICANS RAISING CAIN!!! [LIVE THREAD, Updates @ 642, 665, 715, 719]

There are a few reasons why to suspect Obama has Attention Deificit, the criteria for ADHD symptoms from;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder

.
1. Often forgetful in daily activities.

Example: Obama says he doesn’t pay much attention to McCains campaign adds, yet he knows what isn’t in them,

.
2. Often has trouble keeping attention on tasks or play activities.

Example: Joe Bidens observations;

Biden wasn’t always defending Obama...

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/17/1204594.aspx

On Aug. 1, 2007, when Obama unveiled his counterterrorism agenda, the Biden camp fired off a snarky email congratulating him for his “Johnny-come-lately position” on Afghanistan, noting that during two Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Afghanistan and other subjects, Obama didn’t ask questions about the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or Afghanistan.

.
3. Often forgetful in daily activities.

Example: Obama says “ahhhhh” all the time when he isn’t scripted

.
4. Often avoids, dislikes, or doesn’t want to do things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time (such as schoolwork or homework).

Example: Obama stayed less than 1 day in Iraq to study what was happening on the ground

I'm wondering who will mention this: “The Revolt on the Hill—Lights out”, as Freepers do their thing one more time and document it all on a thread now nearing 3,000 posts. It's all here and started by EC.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2054940/posts

[rodguy911]

Wow you beat me by two posts good job!!
This is one of the finest threads ever on FR IMHO.

[Morgan in Denver]

They usually ask committee majority and minority leaders, which also shows Republicans have a long way to go changing the party leadership.

[rodguy911]

Too much weed will create all those symptoms as well....

[Son House]

Find any of these around your gas stations Pelosi? While you are on vacation, I'm doing overtime for my country.

[Son House]

Yep, weed will also give you the 'munchies', ever have yellow cake?

[rodguy911]

Just too good, ths should be an official logo for all energy spots that the RNC uses from now on.

[Son House]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25546334

The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" — the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions. What's now left is the final and complicated push to clean up the remaining radioactive debris at the former Tuwaitha nuclear complex about 12 miles south of Baghdad

[maica]

Nobody on this thread can read “Pelosi interviewed by Stef...” without an automatic rolling of their eyes.

So many tough, probing questions, NOT!

[rodguy911]

I heard some was just found....

[Fishtalk]

Morning AB, All....

Tom Daschle is co-chair of the Obama campaign?

I didn’t know this.

Hope all is well. Life is fine here.

Democratic thespian Governor of Delaware declared last week armed forces week at the Delaware state fair even though she HATES the military.

Watching the shows.........

[rodguy911]

Exactly, at least the bottom lines of most of the DBM are tanking. It’s a long wait for us to take over but it is happening.

[Fishtalk]

I dunno...Kerry and Lieberman together again?

Should be interesting.

[Son House]

Here’s the live link for ‘yellow cake’

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25546334

What’s now left is the final and complicated push to clean up the remaining radioactive debris at the former Tuwaitha nuclear complex about 12 miles south of Baghdad —

.
Could we get a liberal in isle 6 for clean-up?

[Fishtalk]

I’m hoping Pelosi will tell us more about her saving the world plans.

THE WOMAN IS TRYING TO SAVE THE PLANET FOR GOD'S SAKES!

And all you people do is poke fun.

LEAVE PELOSI ALONE!

She's saving the planet people!

[Fishtalk]

I’ll say a prayer. She was a good one.

[Bahbah]

Brokaw is trying to push the line that McCain “lowered the tone” of the campaign. So far, Brokaw isn’t moving on to “issues.” LOL.

[Fishtalk]

Speaking of Rush Didi.....tell me true....

Shouldn’t PATRICIA be one of his all time top one hundred female names?

I’m just saying.....

[maica]

I wonder if Steffi booked the interview before or after she turned off the lights and cameras in the House Chamber.

[Fishtalk]

I give you a prize right here for best graphic....heh.

[rodguy911]

You mean WMD’s were there all the time—shocked, thoroughly shocked, I tell ya.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Daschle on Foxnews Sunday

His lips are moving.

[Son House]

Yep, as Democrats demand oil companies can drill everywhere, except where there's oil.

[rodguy911]

Yeah but what if I go broke before she gets there?

[TomGuy]

“The Revolt on the Hill—Lights out” -- Freepers do their thing one more time and document it all on a thread now nearing 3,000 posts.

FR was more activist than the Pubbies who stayed in the House. Those Pubbies gave up at 5:00, just 30 minutes after Nancy's deadline for them to get out of her House.

Yeh, the Pubbies really were revolting.
