[Alas Babylon!]

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

Oh, Geesh! They’re ALL back!!!! McCain, LIEberman, Gephardt, and Edwards.

Sharks really CAN smell bloood in the water, huh? Too bad these sharks are wrong.

[Gillmeister]

We'll see if Slay the Nation asks Tricky Dick about his "loan" from McAuliffe's bank? Odds........1000 to 1?

[SkyPilot]

I don't get FOX anymore where I live, but boy, do I miss this guy:

Is he on today? I sure would appreciate some commentary by someone who can watch it.

[Alas Babylon!]

If so, it'll probably be such a "softball" question that Ol' Dick will swat it out of the ballpark. Then again, how? Maybe Bob will just ignore the whole thing.

[SkyPilot]

Gephart!?

QUESTION: Rep Gephart, would you tell us about that shady load deal you got?

Nein!!! Well, OK...then who are these loyal followers of yours who keep electing you anyway?

[The Raven]

Oh, Geesh! They’re ALL back!!!!

It's a conspiracy !!!!

[DoctorMichael]

Dr. Anthony Fauci (Director of NIAID [Natl. Inst. of Alergic & Infectious Diseases]) on C-SPAN starting at 7:45 EDT. He just got back from the International AIDS conference and said that despite the media's showing Tommy Thompson getting booed and harrassed off-the-stage by AIDS activists.........T.T. met with the activists later on to address their concerns. Fauci wanted to credit T.T. for "reaching out" despite their idiocy.

LOL...good pics S-P..

..which state rally was this? :)

[leadpenny]

While you're waiting for the alphabet networks and their talking heads, Bill Press and Pat Buchanan are on C-SPAN for the next hour.

[mware]

Is Russert back yet from vacation??

[mware]

Even more important, is George Will back from vacation????

[mombonn]

Pitt on MTP is doing very well. I'm impessed with his answers so far.

[DoctorMichael]

Switching back and forth.............Pitt, banging heads with Russert, and Press & Buchanan on C-SPAN.

[leadpenny]

Did I hear them right? Do they (Buchanan and Press) have a 2-hour program coming up on MSNBC?

[DoctorMichael]

Yes. Which means, at least to me, CNN comes out on the losing end.

[SkyPilot]

..which state rally was this? :)

I dunno, but it looks similar to "Hillary!'s Health Care Task Force."

By the way, Hillary! has not come back to Skaneatles Lake in Upstate New York (near my hometown) this summer. I guess she didn't get offered free rent on a summer place on the lake this year--or perhaps she didn't appreciate some of the restaurants refusing to serve her (like Doug's Fish Fry). Maybe Martha Stewart will pick up the tab for her and Bill's vacation.

God knows these people never pay for anything out of their own pocket.

[mware]

Don Evens is doing a pretty good job on Fox Sunday.

[SCHROLL]

Timmy Boy apparently thought Pitt would roll over and he's gonna be highly diappointed by the time the interview is over.

Pitt's been right on in his assessment of his critics. IMHO all the wailing coming from the pols is a result of having their gravy train of political comtributions (read protection money) cut off.

[mware]

Talking to past SEC directors right now. This is should be interesting.

[SkyPilot]

Even more important, is George Will back from vacation????

Did you read the article here on FR about the producers of ABC setting "guidelines" about the Catholic Church scandal?

George Will tried to say on the air last month that the problem was Homosexuality in the Church. Sam and Kookie "shouted him down" according to the article.

And to think they are handing that show over George Stephanopolis!

Puuulleezze!
