Last night on Fox News, Greta Van Susteren interviewed Newt Gingrich regarding his support of Dede Scozzafava over Doug Hoffman in the NY-23 congressional race. Defending party over principles, Newt proclaimed his continued support of pro-abortion, pro-Stimulus, Daily Kos candidate Scozzafava. He also scolded national conservatives and attacked conservative independent candidate Doug Hoffman. Video: Newt Gingrich Defends Voting Party of Principles

In case you missed it, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh will be expanding his resume - long-time political commentator, potential NFL owner and now Miss America pageant judge. On the Oct. 8 broadcast of Fox News "On the Record," host Greta Van Sustren revealed that Limbaugh would be one of the national judges for the 2010 Miss America Pageant, scheduled to be held in Las Vegas on Jan. 30, 2010. "Rush Limbaugh, he's the King of talk radio," Van Sustren said. "He's trying to buy the St. Louis Rams. Well chalk up one more thing - Miss America judge. You heard...

Here is video of Dick Morris "On the Record" with Greta van Susteren tonight to discuss Congress and the way Americans feel about the Health Care Bill. They cited a poll that says only 22% of Americans believe Congress even understands the bill. Dick Morris actually said the electorate is "moving to the right," even as Obama is "moving to the Left." Morris said that is because as the "country turns him down," he has to please his party even more to get every vote he can from them in order to pass his agenda. . . . (VIDEO)

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. And we'll switch gears to Honduras, this part - this neck of the woods in Latin America. What about the situation in Honduras? Is that - is that big deal or not? N. GINGRICH: I think it's a very big deal because, you know, as a lawyer, the Honduras Supreme Court followed the Honduran constitution. Zelaya is in fact the president of the country, was in fact trying to become a strong man in the Chavez tradition. The Honduran constitution specifically blocks that from happening and says if you try to extend your term, you automatically...

Here is video of Rick Santorum talking with Greta Van Susteren about Obama attacking Sarah Palin and Death Panels as a "Lie" during his speech to the Joint Session of Congress. Greta actually read from the bill where under "Advanced Care Planning Consultation" there is a mandatory provision where people will have a "review" every five years, and if your health status changes the "review" can be accelerated.

Here is video of outstanding pollster Scott Rasmussen talking with Greta Van Susteren about how President Obama and his Government Health Care plan are doing. Rasmussen said 43% strongly oppose ObamaCare while only 23% strongly favor it. When all of those polled are taken into account, ObamaCare is being rejected by a 53%-43% margin. As has been true since the debate began, those opposed to the congressional overhaul feel more strongly about the legislation than supporters. Forty-three percent (43%) now Strongly Oppose the legislation while 23% Strongly Favor it. Those figures, too, are similar to results from earlier in August.Scott...

Here is video of Greta Van Susteren last night talking about the secret and important role former Sen. Tom Daschle has in the current Health Care battle. Daschle was chosen by Obama to be Health and Human Services Secretary, but withdrew his name after it came to light that had some problems taxes. Turns out, Daschle seems to have wide-open access to the White House and President Obama, despite the fact he works for a firm that does lobbying, though he says he does not do any lobbying. Greta said she was shocked at the access he has to just...

Here is video of a Pennsylvania couple talking with Greta Van Susteren who filmed buses of ACORN Activists coming in to attend and leaving a Town Hall Meeting there. The couple said they did the filming because of accusations that conservatives are the ones making organized efforts to bring people to Town Hall Meetings. They said the buses were full of ACORN activists, as well as other union members, who they think were bused in from Pittsburgh. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee is interviewed by Greta Van Susteren and apparently has the same problem she had a few days ago when she exhibited what Greta called "profoundly rude" behavior, answering a cell phone while a constituent asks her a question. "Here's the problem... Let me explain something to you... One of the problems is you're not listening, and that was sort of the criticism that you weren't listening, you're on the phone..." In the end, the Congresswoman says, "I can certainly understand if offense was taken," and if she met the constituent she ignored, Tracy Miller, she would say,...

Here is video of Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee talking to Greta Van Susteren tonight about the controversy over her Town Hall Meeting recently where she actually talked on her cell phone while a woman was seeking to ask her a question. Lee said she was "not ignoring" the woman, but when Greta pressed her for answers as to why she would do such a thing, Lee constantly filibustered in her answers. Van Susteren had a hard time getting a word in edge-wise, actually proving the point that Sheila Jackson Lee likes to talk but does not care to listen...

Here is video tonight of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger with Greta Van Susteren talking about what it has been like to be Governor during such a dramatic budget crisis. Greta asked Arnold about the video he made for Twitter holding a knife. He said he had just gotten the knife as a birthday gift, and he just acted "a little over the top" by using the knife. Greta also asked Schwarzenegger if he would run for President if eligible (he is not eligible). Arnold said "Yes," he would because he always likes to shoot for the top. Schwarzenegger credits America...

Here is video of conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh on Greta Van Susteren in an extensive interview in which he bluntly said President Obama and the Democrats are destroying the United States Economy and seeking to fundamentally remake the nation in their liberal image. Limbaugh held nothing back as he systematically refuted all that President Obama has asserted about his $787 Billion Stimulus Package, and as he cast the Government Health Care Battle in a new light.

Greta talks to Alexis Glick.

Greta will be hosting a special on Governor Palin this evening on the Fox News Channel titled: Gov Sarah Palin: An American Woman at 9PM Eastern. It appears from the preview at http://www.foxnews.com/ that this show may have run last night at the same time. I have not seen any reference to it anywhere, so I thought I'd alert those who might be interested in viewing it.

Greta Van Susteren will interview former V.P. Dick Cheney tonight 10PM ET

Blog post by Greta Van Susteren at FOX: hhm …. by Greta Van Susteren My husband was just told that a news organization is snooping around …asking…. whether he told (asked?) Governor Palin to use her (Gov Palin’s) PAC to pay off Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s multi million dollar campaign debt. Now that might be a hot story to some — if it were true or even possible. For starters if the news organization did a bit more background research, the organization would learn this is impossible. PAC’s can only contribute $5000. $5,000 is not going to retire a...

When Greta Van Susteren turned out to be one of the very few MSM figures to give Governor Palin unbiased coverage in the media, she became the target of ruthless attacks on her religion. For a while I was actually concerned that maybe she had been driven off the topic. Well, I admit I was wrong and that Greta's a tough cookie. She had invited the Palins to last night's White House Correspondents Dinner, and while Governor Palin couldn't make it, the First Gentleman attended instead. Because she invited them, Greta was once again attacked in several places, particularly Politico...

Political blogger Meghan McCain isn’t exactly the toast of D.C. right now. Sen. John McCain’s daughter — who writes online for The Daily Beast and will soon release a book about life as a Republican — lost it after getting stopped by security when she arrived at the White House Correspondents dinner Saturday. The problem? She had only two tickets, but brought two friends. “The security guard sent her to talk to someone to sort out the situation, but Meghan got bratty and nastily told him, ‘We’ll just stand here then,’ like an insolent child,” our source said, adding that...

Rush joins us by phone. Good evening, Rush. And, Rush, what do you think about that handshake? RUSH: Well, you know, a handshake is symbolism. There are things about this trip, Greta -- and thank you for having me on -- that are far more troubling....

I saw an interview with Hillary on Greta. Hillary mentioned that the problem with Mexico is shared, because they are getting their guns from the US. She stated that 90% of the weapons they are using are from the United States. This statement is a bold faced lie and the lamestream media ran it all over the news without even checking the facts. The truth is only 17% of the guns come from the United States and Mrs Clinton was using old statistics. Where do the guns come from? The Black Market. Mexico is a virtual arms bazaar, with...

Greta Van Susteren, a Fox News prime-time host, is being scrutinized for a questionably close relationship to Sarah Palin. It seems that Van Susteren's husband, John Coates, is a political adviser to the Alaska governor. Questions about the Palin link, combined with the overnight success of Glenn Beck at Fox News, makes observers wonder if Beck might soon get Van Susteren's spot. Insiders say Beck has already been viewed as a possible replacement for Van Susteren, who represents the weakest link in Fox's otherwise indomitable lineup. Van Susteren's ratings are getting smashed by Beck, whose show, despite airing in the...

Watch this, Greta throws softballs at Hillary, while she justifies curbing America's liberties because of Mexico's problems: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hhtpDMIXYA

Greta says she found a bigger outrage than AIG bonuses.

I am getting lots of inquires about my husband John Coale — no, he is not a paid adviser to Governor Palin and never has been. And no, he does not want a job with her or with the other women he has helped. Yes, he has given Governor Palin advice and helped her. He met her through me when I interviewed her….I did not meet her through him. I have gotten interviews with her not through him but through our staff on OTR. It is that simple.

There is no brand in Republican politics as powerful -- or as tenuous -- as that of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. She is simultaneously the hottest commodity on the Republican fundraising circuit and a figure of ridicule among Democrats (and even many Independents) who believe that her status as a national figure is entirely undeserved. Even Palin and her political team seem to be struggling somewhat with how much or little to expose her at the national level.

Sarah Palin is seeking the advice of a Scientologist as she plots her 2012 presidential run, which just makes sense to us. John P. Coale, a prominent Washington lawyer and power-broker, is secretly running Palin's political action committee and working to "protect the Palin brand," according to the Washington Post. He is very, very good at doing that because he can walk through walls and read minds and leave his body and never gets sick because he is a Scientologist.

Here is video from last night where Greta Van Susteren asked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich if he was planning to run for President in 2012. Newt danced around the question, but clearly is leaving the door wide open to run. Greta also asked Newt about his "battle" with Rush Limbaugh. Newt responded there is not battle, and said he agrees with Rush Limbaugh except for the statement Rush made that he wants Obama "to fail." Newt then launched into a tortured explanation of how he, as an army brat, wants the individual policies of Obama to fail but does...

It's Friday and instead of posting yet another blog about government, I thought I'd change it up. This week I caught wind of an intriguing story about politics and friendships and simply couldn't stop myself from doing some sleuthing to see if the story had any legs. Oh yeah it has legs and a big checkbook along with a devotion to L. Ron Hubbard. The black helicopter is about to depart.....are you getting on?

Bill Clinton counts calories FNC's Greta van Susteren is on a roll lately. First she interviewed Bristol Palin and Sarah Palin ... and now Bill Clinton — it's airing tonight on "On the Record." She interviewed Clinton in his Harlem office this afternoon and talked stimulus and Hillary's singing, and about Clinton's just-announced initiative to fight childhood obesity, which dovetails with his own experience as a chubby kid. (What he does to stay fit and trim? He counts calories.) He's happy Hillary Clinton is in Indonesia: "It's the biggest Muslim country in the world, full of promise. I invested a...

We grabbed the Governor at the finish line …and yes, you will see this interview ON THE RECORD at 10pm on Monday…what did we ask her? one topic is the stimulus bill…..as you might imagine, she has strong views…so make sure you watch ON THE RECORD on Monday!

Who do you MOST admire in this list?
