[Alas Babylon!]

As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

Hopefully some of these guests today will take some time rip Dowd and her assinine column in today's paper. What an outrage. But then, she is an inbred idiot slave to the socialist nazi liberals whom she worships and obeys so I suppose I could cut her a little slack. Not.

Sitting here in Oklahoma. Tuned into Fox waiting for the 8:00 a.m. pundits to strike.
Jimmy Swaggert is on and crying again.
He wants some more walking around money.
It's cold and wet.
It's crying time again.

[Alas Babylon!]

Well by all means, send him some $$$$!!!! We don't want to hear and see him crying, do we?

[SkyPilot]

NRA's Wayne LaPierre, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY),

This should be interesting..................

I find it reprehensible and cheap political theater that the DirtyCrats finally think they have found an "issue" by exploiting the DC sniper for gain--to wit: "Gun Control."

I personally do not think it will work. No doubt Schumer will whine and be obnoxious, but I doubt the DemonRats will find very much political gain in this issue.

CSPAN 8:00 to 8:40 (EST)..........................

Cook, of The Cook Report, was on giving his evaluation of the 2002 elections. Non-partisan analysis.

Pubbies hold onto House! Governorships are shaky. Tossup in Senate.

Big day yesterday for Oklahoma college football! Congratulations to both the Sooners and Cowboys.

[TC Rider]

The situation is reversed in North Carolina, where Republican Elizabeth Dole said no..

What's up with Liddy? She's done 2 debates here in NC in the last week or so and is calling for more. Is this accurate? I know she's been on with Russert before, is this personal?

[TC Rider]

LOL, that thing needs a laser and a xenon bulb on it.

I want one

[js1138]

There's a simple way around this. Announce that there will be a debate if EITHER cantidate accepts. If only one shows up, he gets a free show.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Agreed.

[maica]

The situation is reversed in North Carolina, where Republican Elizabeth Dole said no, and Tennessee, where Republican Lamar Alexander declined
Meet the Press has been able to stage just two Senate debates, with the candidates from Colorado and South Carolina.

So what's with the dissing of Timmy? I enjoyed seeing Lindsay Graham stomp all over his opponent (verbally, of course). Very interesting that Dole and Alexander do not want to go 'national'.

[YaYa123]

Henry Sokolski, of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, says that when Madeleine Albright was drinking champagne with President Song, and dancing with little North Korean children, she didn't know the song they were singing was anti-American.

The C-span anchor Steve, asks if the administration shouldn't be criticized for not disclosing North Korean nukes 2 weeks ago? Sokolski says this should have been disclosed since the mid-90s.

I think Sololski must have an article in current "Weekly Standard", might be worth a read.

from Sololski: "North Korea has about 20 million people. 200,000 have fled to China. They've starved 2 million people to death in the last few years. Population is shrinking."

[McGruff]

Colin Powell saying we already have all the authority we need to take out SadDAM if we want.

The UN can join us or we will act with our partners.

[YaYa123]

OHMIGAWD! I flip to NBC Today show and see
BillFcking Clinton rambling on and on about how he attacked Iraq...he says Bush is doing a good job of bringing France and Russia in on the UN resolution...I can't take anymore.. He's wearing a tuxedo...obviously this interview was filmed last night at his Black Ball in Arkansas. NBC has "EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW" at the top of the screen. I think I'm going to be sick!!!!!!

[Wait4Truth]

Powell just nailed the Democrats that said they had no idea North Korea was building nukes prior to their vote on the Iraq resolution. He said that is a false charge against the Administration - that they had been briefing both sides in both houses since Sept 10, 2002. He also said he could PRODUCE a 2-page list of all people that had been briefed. At that point, Russert ended the interview with no comment. Hehehehehe...

[McGruff]

Did Dashole just say there are no indications that these sniper attacks are terrorism?

[Wait4Truth]

Clinton and his cronies are in full CYA mode. They are all running around defending themselves bin Laden, Iraq and N. Korea. The saddest part of all is that the media absolutely refuses to hold the clinton administration accountable for anything. Most articles and tv segments do not even mention clinton's name. All they do is try to find some angle by which they can blame President Bush. It is transparent and disgusting - we can only pray that many Americans see through the BS.

[YaYa123]

C-span caller said Clinton's foreign policy on Iraq and North Korea was "a house of cards". that's the perfect description of it. Clinton only cared about keeping up appearances, fooling the American people until he was out of office...He didnt giveashit about what happened after he left because the media would help him convince people that the house of cards all falling down was a reflection on his successor, not him.
