[rodeodance]

14. yes--The Pentagon press conference noted today--all from OHIO.

[Skidmore]

6. Like, they are actually trying to do something resembling--

their jobs?

[ewagner]

7. Crowley HAS to get the phrase

in to pre-empt anybody who actually starts to think that maybe the invasion of Iraq WASN'T such a good idea.

"Don't think for yourself, I'll do it for you. Here, here's the latest on Brad and Jennifer...."

[rodeodance]

11. Repug strategist saying that Repugs need to get out and change the

perception of the American people about the war. Te he.

[rodeodance]

12. "stuggle against violent extremism"--Craig saying coming from Rummy

--not from the WH.

[rodeodance]

13. Craig--terriorts interests better served by weakening the will of our

allies--so attack abroad--not at home.

[rodeodance]

16. According to the Repugs--it is all a problem of 'perception'--and conser-

vatives and BUSH need to get out and talk of the war.

[rodeodance]

17. show will talk of Hackett race after the break (and what blogs are saying)

[jojo54]

15. If they used a cardboard cutout of Monica, then maybe I'd

watch with enthusiasm, unlike right now. :puke:

[rodeodance]

18. maybe Keith Olberman has one?? te he?

[rodeodance]

20. two clerics in London labeled the suidide bombers as 'praiseworthy"

WhOW.

[jojo54]

21. I got a bone to pick with him!!!

How dare he go on vacation so much in the last month! Who does he think he is, the pResident???

[rodeodance]

24. yeah--KO does seem to take a lot of time off.

[jojo54]

19. Here's the link to the poll Reagan was just talking about.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6862172/

Are Americans losing patience with the mission in Iraq?

Should school districts be able to teach elective Bible study courses as part of their curriculums?

Do you support a radio station's decision to indefinitely suspend a conservative radio talk show host for calling Islam a "terrorist organization"?

[rodeodance]

22. Repug saying Brits too permissive as a society and will become like

America if these bombings continue. um....

[rodeodance]

23. Craig saying that the moderate Muslins will have come out and comdem

this kind of behavior instead of silencing the radicals which he fears which only make the situation worse.

[rodeodance]

25. Repug saying Dems taking comfort in one lost--'act of desperation" to

talk of how Hackett only lost of a few thousand votes. bla bla.

[rodeodance]

26. Craig saying something positive is happening--when Bush won previous

by 65-35--and now a Dem picks up so many percentage points.

[rodeodance]

28. Monica saying -in this time of war -nobody wants to hear the President

being personally insulted. Craig had said something about the Dems needing to go forward also without insulting the President personally--which may be a turnoff to some voters. He probably is right (but I did not Monica jumping on that on with her--"in a time of war" thing!!).

[Norquist Nemesis]

30. That's her rinse and repeat excuse for absolutely everything!

I'm so sick of hearing her say, "That's and OUTRAGEOUS thing to say!! We're in a WAR and NO ONE should be criticising the commander in chief!"

:grr:

[rodeodance]

31. She is such a parrot of the WH--she makes me angry.

[jojo54]

27. Crawford=freep creep, sometimes.

I know he means well as a journalist, but there are times that he sounds ssoooo much like the Repukes, it drives me crazy.

[rodeodance]

29. He may be right-if Dems can attach Bush POLICIES and effects of this

insane policies---instead of personal attachs_they just not turn off some voters.

[Old_Fart]

32. "I wonder how they are going to get this out of the press today"

Will we be getting a terrorists alert or will another missing rich kids story get picked up by the press.
