The Weekend Preview Thread is up
If you would like on or off my ping list please Freepmail me
The most interesting guests to me will be the confrontations between Duncan Hunter and John Murtha (ABCTW). I have a feeling that this is a set up to make Hunter look bad, but if he's given a chance he might just surprise them. I'm also interested in the Mitch McConnell / Chuck Schumer "debate" on Face the Nation, but assume that McConnell will be handcuffed by his leadership position, so I'm not expecting the good stuff that he can usually bring to these things (but he might just surprise everyone). I also intend to pay attention to Eugene Robinson and find out just what type of talking points are likely to be coming out over the next few weeks.
The dominant meme appears to be that Washington is screwed up and it's the Republicans/Bush's fault. The secondary meme appears to be an attempt to denigrate any positive news from Iraq.
Maybe Timmy can Sen John McMedia can write a book "Faith of our Fathers, Pandering of the Sons"
Oh blech, Frist and Durbin on Fox together.
You may want to look McConnell's position up on the Senate vote over illegal immigration. This would taint his appearance, IMHO.
I anticipate the issue of illegal immigration and what to do will dominate the shows this weekend. Other things will be on their agenda but it makes sense the Senate vote will be the topic de jour.
Washington being screwed up is only important IF Republicans are to blame. Otherwise, it's DC simply adjusting to the new takeover by Democrats later this year.
I strongly recommend every Freeper seeing what is on both the Democrat and Republican websites for their state. IF CO is any indication, the Democrats are working harder than we are.
Sorry! Thank you Phsstpok. Your work and posts are appreciated. Especially now.
I wondered about this when I saw ANOTHER best of bor on last night. Well, I shouldn't say I SAW it, because I didn't watch, anymore than I did on Friday night when they had round 1 on.
