That's hilarious. Did that really happen and when? I've always wondered if Novak had false teeth and every time he speaks I wait for them to fall out. He is so lame as he squints through his glasses and flubs his lines reading from the teleprompter. Tucker Carlson is the typical softheaded, spineless beltway "republican". He actually comes across as ashamed to be identified as a conservative. He caves in every night to Begalla's repulsive insults of President Bush and the GOP. He ends every segment with his high squealing voice and silly laugh as he cries uncle to "mean Paul".

I watched the new crossfire for the first time the other night and it made me sick. It almost resembles the Jerry Springer Show. No wonder republicans are avoiding this show. The GOP has too much class to appear.

Like Kramer convulsing at the sound of Mary Hart's voice, I can't tolerate Begala's whiney, braying twang.

I think Ted Turner must be secretly programming CNN, hoping to get the last laugh by destroying the network.

The only possible rationale for Greta is sabotage.

Begala and Carville are not pundits--they are lynchmen for the democratic party and they hate Bush

It says it all. There is no way they can be objective.

Damn near everyone has stopped watching according to the ratings. Putting on all the Clinton spinmeisters is too disgusting for anyone to tolerate. What ever idiot came up with the new format will be fired and this POS show won't last much longer. Test patterns draw a bigger audience and are more enjoyable to watch!!

All of TV news has become a jobs program for Clinton hitmen!!

It's unbelievable!!

The entire media industrial complex would have turned assassin if Lee "The Demon" Atwater or Karl "The Butcher" Rove were given twelve seconds hosting a "news" show in a "mainstream" venue, but Carville and Begala dominate "Crossfire" without a single disturbance in the Force. And ABC turns over "This Week" to George Stephanopolous with nothing but congrats from our cultural watchdogs. It defies any and all rules of fairness.

You add ex-Tip O'Neil aide, Chris Matthews, Cuomo aide Tim Russert, California Democratic Chairman Bill Press, Carter aide Bill Moyer along with virtually everyone at PBS and you've got an entire army of Democrat flacks controlling practically all on-air political commentary. (I think Mark "Maxi" Shields worked for some Democrat, but can't recall who)

And I have not read a single disapproving word about this "When Left-Wing Flacks Attack" phenom.

Put on Michael Medved, Neil Boortz, Laura Ingram, Ann Coulter vs. Kinsley or someone of his ilk & I'll dial in. Mrs. Matalin & Begala. Never happen.

I quit watching because of Bill Press and his lying and his big mouth some years back.

Up until he got on there I had been watching regularly even before Tom Braden and Pat Buchanan took it over.

That decision has been reinforced by the creeps that are on there now.

Now Fox has been dumped on by CNN with their gift of Greta Von Susteren!

What a boring "in your face" know it all and a very ineffeminate female individual she is.

I change stations when she comes on for what ever reason.

I cannot stomach her elitist liberal down her nose attitude!!

Fox News Network needs to lose that person!

Between Greta and Geraldo the network has definitely lost ground.

It looked like Geraldo might turn out to be a plus but he is reverting back to his old liberal self, like a sow that returns to her wallowing in the mire.

Hubby used to watch it every week (he likes to know what the libs are spouting). He has quit watching it because those two creeps are awful (thank God, I hated that show).

Don't underestimate Commie News Network, they'll air a test pattern with Comrade Slick
Willie's face and wonder why even the test pattern addicted go elsewhere.

Any one other than me old enough to remember when the test pattern had an Indian with full head dress?
I'd guess they couldn't use that anymore because some PC whiner would object.

I quit. Carville and the hideous game show format. I think it will be revamped. I'd love to know how its faring in the ratings.

"Carville is just abhorrent. I've never met a human being to match him."

Very true. It's difficult for me to understand how even democrats and journalists can pretend that Carvile has any credibility at all and/or is deserving of airtime. One thing about eight long years of Clintonism, it sure taught me a lot about how truly rotten some people can be.

Yes it really happened.

I used to get home from work when crossfire came on and I didn't like to ignore the family as soon as I walked in the door.

So I would run the vcr and tape it.

After dinner I popped the tape in and they were do a live show from some University like Georgetown or another hi-falutin place back east.

He was getting all worked up about something when I saw what looked like a piece of white gum started to appear just below his upper lip. He closed his mouth and it went away. So Novak starts getting even more fired up and the whole bridge dropped and he had to reach up on live tv and push it back in.

I called my wife out to see it and she kept protesting that she didn't want to come out and watch that show she hates.

When she saw it her stomach lining almost came up from laughing so hard.
