Seems unusual that he would quote a competitor’s show.

I've seen them do that quite often. Fox has nothing to fear from the so called competion. That kind of move only prove how much better Fox is at getting the real story and cutting through the usual spin.

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Sen. John F. Kerry (D-MA).

[maica]

" Give us back our money."

I am starting a campaign to change the way reducing taxes is considered and discussed.

'Give us back our money" has to be erased from our figures of speech. Since the majority of tax returns are filed by people who have endured withholding tax, a huge number of tax filers GET a CHECK from the government every spring.

A huge number of these recipients of government checks BELIEVE that in discussions on lowering tax rates on the "top percent' of taxpayers - the Riiichh - the Bush and Republican plan means that the government is going to GIVE six-figure checks of Government money to these hugely rich people!



So I want people who favor lower taxes to start saying: "Take less of our money."

[McGruff]

Tony Snow questioning Mohamed Baradei, director general, International Atomic Energy Agency on IRAQ getting advanced warning of inspections. No good answer.

Also Baradei saying they will not bring scientists out of IRAQ unless they say they feel threatened.

[MeekOneGOP]

Now put up a picture of John Kerry and Herman Munster. You'll quickly see the resemblance!

Oh, yeah !.....

Kerry says he will take first step toward running for president in 2004 -AP Breaking News
RON KAMPEAS, Associated Press Writer
(12-01) 06:38 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said Sunday he is taking a first step toward running for president in 2004, forming a committee to explore a White House bid. An official announcement of his candidac...

The DNC ahould be paying tiny tim for this hour. well maybe they are in their own way.

[SkyPilot]

Did you ever read the Washington Post interview with Kerry and Theresa Heinze? It was a freaking horror show.

The woman humiliated Kerry, made fun of his "Vietnam Flashbacks", compared him to her dead husband (whom she says she still "adores"), and talked about their collective wealth as "my money!"

[McGruff]

On Fox News Sunday Morra Lieson and Juan Williams disclose that yes Gore is right. Fox News is a biased organization in cahoots with Rush Limbaugh and Right Wing extremists (no they didn't mention FreeRepublic).

[Senator Goldwater]

Thanks for the correction. Even so, this committee smells like a set-up.

[tom paine 2]

ROTFLMAO! I can't wait to see Mrs. Munster. I hear she is another Martha Mitchell.

[Inkie]

Unlike National Public Radio.

[Senator Goldwater]

Krauthammer was bemused by Liasson and Juan Williams swallowing the Gore assertions, especially the line about the talking points emanating from "inside a building", to which the good doctor invokes his psychiatry backroom by declaring such conspiracy theories as "loony."

[MattMa]

Most of their "collective wealth" is her money; well, maybe her dead husbands wealth that he no longer needed.

[tom paine 2]

She also keeps a portrait of her late husband prominently displayed over the fireplace mantle.

[McGruff]

I never had sexual relations with that Ketchup bottle.

[Senator Goldwater]

Krauthammer made the most salient observation of the roundtable discussion over whether or not the religion of Islam is to blame for terrorism. He said the focus should not be in the abstract, but rather in the real world where "all of Islam's borders are bloody." Islam should be regarded in the context of a civilization instead of a faith, and its one that has been in decline for several centuries. On its frontiers, there is conflict: in sub-saharan Africa, in Israel, in Kashmir, in Indonesia and the Phillipines, and of course, in the Christian West.

This is an excellent point, and a solid refutation of radical Islamists hiding behind the cloak of religion to escape proper condemnation in the polite circles of the West.

[Alas Babylon!]

Adding to your list: Kosovo, Bosnia, and Russia/Chechnya in in Southeast Europe.

[Timeout]

Tim asked Kerry whether he would support the president if Iraq were shown to be in breach of the resolutions, but we had to go alone because the UN nations wouldn't go along.

Kerry said no, and started talking about the cost of that war.

Tim then repeated, saying Iraq is in material breach then you wouldn't support the president?

Kerry flip flops, says "Oh, you didn't say MATERIAL breach"...word games. I depends on how you define "Material".

[maica]

He also said that bin Laden made a mistake in targeting USA for two reasons. All of the border conflicts you listed were ongoing before Sept 11, but they were under the radar of American policy. Secondly, our destruction of the Taliban in Afghanistan has encouraged many other governments, such as Yemen, to cooperate with us, which they were not doing before Afghanistan.

I wish Krauthammer could be on that show every week.
