So how often can we expect to see W demanding prime time

[Erika]

for his far right partisan speeches? He says the same old, same old.

1. You mean so he can keep beating the same old dead horse?

I dunno... but I'm glad I wasn't home to watch it!! :)

[Erika]

2. Yeah, the same old, same old.

So if he demands the time, the networks must bow to him?

3. I have no problem with presidential speeches being aired on the networks

In fact I think they should feel an obligation to air such speeches since the airwaves are owned by the public.

Before cable news came to forefront it seemed like we had a presidential speech or news conference in prime time once a month.

4. That's not my memory

Please refresh me.

6. I'm just going off memory

When I was young I just remember LBJ and Nixon interrupting my television viewing a lot more than Bush ever has.

Regardless these are the public airwaves, and I think when the POTUS requests time, he should get it.

12. no shit

but georgie is not ready for prime time. he has invaded prime time only a few times. and certainly not a press conference. cause if people actually watched who he decides can 'question him', they would have seen he was naked years ago.

11. cough cough, from FDR to this turkey and I don't remember

a once a month thingie.

BTW how old are you?

[tritsofme]

13. Old enough

to remember Johnson on my tv telling us how Vietnam must be won, when I knew young men that had lost their lives over there for no good reason.

Maybe not once a month, but I sure remember presidents interrupting my primtetime a lot more often than Bush does.

5. Why don't they just rerun the ones he already made?

He ain't gonna say anything different and he's never going to make anymore sense than he has already. Then he could spend more time doing what he really likes to do - playing video games and dressing up like the village people.

8. Yeah! ...Just stick a cardboard cut out of him out there...

And hit the button on the pre-recorded tape!

7. I'd bet most people just clicked on through it to some cable channel...

the nerve screwing up Sunday night viewing. It seems that the more he talks now, people listen less. It has become whining, not campaign stump speeches, obviously his staff is clueless.
